When she had discovered that Ki-Jun was her adoptive her father, and Sena, her adoptive mom, she had felt a gap been burrowed in her coronary heart. She had been devastated, however not as a lot as she was now.
There was one thing about realizing that the one factor she cherished and was most proud about wasn’t actually hers to start with.

However nonetheless, they made her really feel particular. They made her theirs, and she or he was sure she would by no means had had higher dad and mom -most particularly a greater father than Ki-Jun, and that’s why this very second was so scary and devastating.
“It’s going to be superb,” She whispered to Sena as she held her even tighter, whereas whispering a prayer in her coronary heart. She wasn’t satisfied by her personal phrases, however there was nothing else she’d relatively imagine.

Sena mindlessly leaned in the direction of Eun-sun, whereas Mi-Cha stepped nearer, each women offering a assist for his or her mom.
Dan-Han appeared over his shoulders when he heard approaching footsteps, and doubtless he knew it was Yong-Gun coming, however extra to his shock, he noticed not solely Yong-Gun, however his father tagging alongside.
What was he doing right here? When did he arrive?
“What are you doing right here?” Dan-Han requested in shock when he noticed the previous man strolling in the direction of him.
Father Lee ignored him and appeared over to his good friend who was being wired up by the docs.
He turned to Sena, who he gave a sympathizing look, earlier than shifting his gaze to Eun-sun who instinctively tensed up at his gaze. He sighed and in the direction of Dan-Han, who had shock written throughout his face.
“You didn’t inform me you had been coming.” Dan-Han mentioned, whereas Father Lee gave him a as soon as over.
“You appear to be doing okay.” He casually mentioned, and Dan-Han sighed. He understood his assertion clearly.
“Don’t inform me you had been apprehensive about me?” Dan-Han requested and his father glared at him.
“You’re the least of my issues.” He hissed at him, making Dan-Han’s lips twitch amusedly. “Inform me the state of affairs with Ki-Jun. How is he proper now?” He inquired and Dan-Han instantly stuffed him in on what precisely was occurring, not desirous to tease for evading his query.
His won’t have solely come for him, however they each knew he was apprehensive, therefore why he had come.
“So if he doesn’t wakes up, what’s subsequent?” Father Lee cautiously requested, making an attempt to not be audible to Sena, though she appeared too targeted on what was occurring along with her husband to even overhear him.
Father Lee briefly glanced at Yong-Gun, who was intently observing what was occurring contained in the room, earlier than glancing again at Dan-Han.
“We’re undecided, however we’ll take it from there.” Dan-Han replied him and the previous man nodded.
Father Lee checked out Eun-sun once more and his brows furrowed, earlier than trying away from her to deal with his good friend.
They watched because the docs tried to wake Ki-Jun, however by the a number of makes an attempt they made and the way eager they watched the monitor of the machine which electrode was connected to Ki-Jun’s face, they knew it wasn’t working.
All of them perked up and moved in the direction of the door when the docs walked in the direction of them. The despondent appears to be like on their faces made everybody nervous.
“How was it? Is he awake?” Sena hurriedly requested, her gaze darting between the docs and Ki-Jun.
She glanced again on the physician who was nonetheless main the group of docs trailing behind him. “How is he? Is he waking up?” She anxiously requested once more.
“I’m sorry, however he isn’t.”
“He isn’t?” Sena muttered after him and he nodded.
“So what does that imply?” She inquired, as she tried to struggle the chilly feeling stemming in her abdomen.
The physician coursed his gaze throughout their faces and resignedly sighed. “I’m sorry, however the chairman isn’t acutely aware in any respect. He has actually slipped right into a coma.” He introduced and Sena’s face immediately paled and so did her daughters.
Sena didn’t imagine it. She didn’t need to imagine it.
Although they’ve being Knowledgeable about his situation few hours in the past, however there was one thing about listening to this after an try and wake him that reeled within the deep actuality of the precarious state of affairs.
“So what occurs now? What occurs to my brother?” Yong-Gun earnestly questioned, making Eun-sun look at him with a tough glare which she tried to hide.
“I’m sorry there’s nothing we are able to do aside from wait.”
“And the way lengthy are we speaking about right here?” Father Lee curiously inquired.
“We will’t say sir. There’s nonetheless some exercise moving into his mind, however he can’t breath on his personal. Neuro operate may enhance or regress in a number of days, however we are able to’t know that for now.”
“So that you’re saying there’s a risk he may by no means get up? He may die?” Yong-Gun requested, and the physician nodded.
Eun-sun balled her hand right into a fist as she listened to his questions. This was what he needed – to kill her father. To kill her and everybody associated to her. Eun-sun felt her anger surge inside her, a lot she needed to plant a facer, and pummel to the bottom until he was useless. However she couldn’t try this as she was holding Sena up.
“That’s not true. He’s not going to die.” Sena vehemently declared. She wasn’t going to lose her husband.
“I’m sor-”
“Cease telling me sorry!” Sena snapped, reducing the physician off. She glowered on the man and the group of docs standing behind him.

“Mum relax, please.” Mi-Cha pleaded, with a shaky voice, however Sena was adamant.
However simply as she saved demanding for physician Tan, she noticed him approaching with a person which she acknowledged because the director of the hospital. She had seen him in few fundraising occasions she had attended with Ki-Jun.
“Physician Tan,” She known as, stepping away from Mi-Cha’s and Eun-sun’s maintain.
“Good night, Mrs Kim,” The director and physician Tan greeted with a bow, however Sena was too distraught to greet again, she might solely handle a nod.
“My husband. Please verify on my husband.” She desperately urged. The physician who had attended to Ki-Jun whispered into the director’s ear.
And with out saying something, the director and physician Tan strolled into the room, whereas the opposite adopted behind.
Physician Tan positioned the electrode on Ki-Jun’s face once more they usually tried it another time simply as she had requested, however nonetheless there was no response from him.
“What’s it? Why isn’t he waking up?” Sena demanded, sounding nearly hysterical. This scene appeared too acquainted to her. Twenty-five sure in the past, her little one had refused to stand up as effectively, and though she now knew her little one was alive and effectively, she couldn’t assist however really feel she was on the verge of dropping her husband, and this time it is likely to be for actual.
