Chapter 141 - Nothing dirty [1] (1/2)

Leaning against the head board of the bed, Moon Jiwoo stared at the man who was seated beside her, and by now, he had been in that position for hours. Although she was fond of having him by her side, at this point, this was starting to give her a headache.

”You don't need to watch me this closely, Oh Sookyung. Just go back to your work or something or else I will be losing your mind from the constant staring,” Moon Jiwoo commented, glaring at the man beside her.

”I am too worried at this moment to leave right now.”

The remnants of the poison was no longer inside her body, and the effects from it had disappeared quite a while ago. Other than some soreness, she felt perfectly fine and was well aware of how she did not need anyone watch her that closely as Sookyung was doing right now.

Instead of the poison, this was starting to give a headache currently.

Fortunately enough for Moon Jiwoo, she only had the poison for a little amount, and that's why, she was able to survive from it with bȧrėly any affects. If she had eaten anymore of it, this would have turned out to be deadly for her.

Maybe the only thing she was able to thank right now was her lack of appetite. It would be disastrous if she was hungry and ate that soup up completely. Indirectly, she was thankful to Sookyung for not showing up before her within these two days.

Thinking about what would have happened if she drank the entire thing caused chills to go down her back. There was no way she was ready to die this easily!

However, this made her wonder about who would be able to smuggle such a deadly poision inside the palace. Killing the members from the Red Clan was no easy matter, and Jiwoo was able to guess how powerful the poison was.

Something like that was illegal, and getting hands on it was nearly impossible. Unless someone powerful was behind it, there was no way for some simple kitchen maids to obtain something like that.

Even someone like her was able to guess the person who was possibly behind her life. It was Han Sungmin without a doubt, and seeing how much of a frightening man she could be was starting to drop Moon Jiwoo's confidence in this moment.

She knew that this was because of what Sookyung was planning right now was something he considered to be quite dangerous for him, and that's why, he knew that eliminating Moon Jiwoo would eradicate the possibility of her.

Moon Jiwoo wasn't lying when she started to reconsider the thought of staying at her for few more days. This time she was lucky, but it didn't mean that she would be able to be this fortunate the next time around as well.

Dying was one of those things she definitely did not want to face, and things right now was probably leading to that direction for her. Everything would be better if she just ran away.

But one glance at Oh Sookyung's face made her become weak towards her resolution, and she lost her will completely to run away from here. Maybe getting away from Sookyung would be much more painful than staying at here.

Only few more days were left to two month, and maybe she would be getting lucky all this time as well. Moreover, Moon Jiwoo would just stay extra careful over this period of time.

She had determined that this was worth the risk!

”Oh Sookyung, do you know that this was the first time I have actually believed that you are worth all the risk for me?” Moon Jiwoo mumbled.

Those words perfectly reached into Oh Sookyung's ears, and his eyes widened due to that. Moon Jiwoo's those words were not something he had ever expected to hear.

While his heart began to flutter within his ċhėst, the corner of his lips curved up to form a smile. He was almost brought to tears by those words from her— especially since that she had bȧrėly escaped from danger right now and he was afraid that she would be angry at him— and this wasn't him exaggerating his emotions.

”Thank you, Shin Daerin. I am sorry for not being able to protect you after I gave you my word to do so. I apologise for slipping up. After how I scolded you for going outside the other day, it seems that my palace is no less of a danger than ou there.
