Chapter 59 - Shes not the same person (1/2)

The blinding light outside the prison feels refreshing. However, no light in the world can dismiss the darkness in her eyes. As she walks toward the car, the memories of that day return to her mind. Her tranquil face doesn't waver as she gets into the car. She's not drenched in someone else's urine this time.

She doesn't notice the eyes that seem to be following her everywhere. The person follows her car. The distance between them is long enough that she doesn't think much of it. Ahn Hana makes a quick decision and decides to visit the hospital first. She should see the victim with her eyes and then, decide whether this defendant can be saved or not.

After an hour, her car stops in front of the hospital. A bike comes to halt a little behind the car. The person gets down and takes off his helmet. He wipes his sweat from his forehead. After two minutes, he gets on his bike away and leaves the vicinity.

Ahn Hana doesn't know anything about this. After a quick inquiry, she finds the victim's ward. The boy is 18. He has no father and the family is in debt. The mother still insists on punishing the defendant. The defendant insists that he didn't push the boy off the roof.

It could have been a suicide. That won't save the defendant.

”Who are you?” Ms. Kim looks up at the woman with an icy demeanor. There is no warmth in her eyes. She seems like a person who has died and come back to life. Ms. Kim is intimated by her aura.

”I am Mr. Ji's lawyer.” Ahn Hana glances at the young boy breathing on the machine. ”How is your son?”

”Get out.” Ms. Kim is afraid of the woman, but she's a mother. She won't back down when it comes to her son. ”I am not settling the case. I will fight until the end.”

”I am not asking you to end the case.” Ahn Hana's voice is low and lacking empathy. Her body is devoid of any emotion. ”I want to know how it happened.”

Ms. Kim widens her eyes in anger. She yells at her, ”Want to know how it happened? That rich boy bullied my son every single day. The school wouldn't do anything because his father is powerful. When he wasn't satisfied, he pushed my son off the roof.”

”Why didn't you transfer him?” Ahn Hana asks with a monotonous voice.

”That...” Ms. Kim steps back a little. She hesitates before she says, ”He wanted to continue studying there.”

”It was the scholarship.” Ahn Hana reveals the real reason. ”The school also paid a monthly stipend to the honorary students from a poor background. He also won other scholarships. He was quite talented.”

”My son...” Ms. Kim regrets not transferring him. ”It was only a year.”

There was only a year left to graduate. ”How was his mood before he left that day?”

Ms. Kim denies answering any question of this cold woman. She pushes her out of the room. Ahn Hana falls on the floor due to the sudden impact.
