Chapter 109 - Trust me, I am a superwoman (2/2)

Young Hwa lets out a sigh. A woman like her won't like to be told what to do. ”Okay, I will trust you. I already think that you are a superwoman.”

She smiles at him sadly. ”Young Hwa, thank you for today.”

”Don't thank me.” He kisses the back of her hand. ”I am sorry that you had to go through that alone.”

”Don't make trouble,” Kyuri warns Little Hae who is sitting on Young Hwa's ŀȧp. Little Hae gives her a solemn nod, still affected by Kyuri's outburst. She won't make trouble. She doesn't want to see her mother cry again.

”Kyuri, Little Hae and I will have fun when you are gone.” Young Hwa rubs Little Hae's head, understanding what's going inside his lovely daughter's head. He doesn't want her to change too much. Kids should enjoy childhood. That's how memories are made. ”She can make some trouble with me.”

”Tch! Don't overdo it,” Kyuri tells him. She kisses Little Hae's forehead. Young Hwa also raises his head, looking at her expectedly. She hesitates before pecking his forehead. After waving at the father and daughter, she leaves the house. She doesn't like saying goodbye even if it means that she is only going out for a while.

In a cab on the road to Kang Si An's apartment, she calls his number. He hasn't changed his number yet. After three rings, he picks up. His voice is hoarse and sluggish. ”Who is this?”

”Me.” Kyuri clenches and unclenches her fist. ”We need to have a talk. Where are you?”

”I am at my place.” Kang Si An's voice becomes louder. ”I will come to see you. Where are you?”

”Stay at your apartment. I am coming there.” Kyuri realizes how desperate she sounds. But, she's tired. She won't let him see Little Hae. She will do whatever it takes. She knows how stubborn and persistent he is. He's the man who can even delay death because he wanted her to come and see him for one last time.
