114 The Nightmare Ends, and Life Begins Anew (1/2)

Just as Gun returned from his conversation with the doctor in charge of Yeo Ri, several unknown men stood in front of Yeo Ri's room.

”You can't do this,” the nurse blocking the door says to the men, her tone distressed. ”The patient has just woken up and is in no condition to be giving testimonies. Officers, please return.”

”Please, miss. We won't take long—just a few minutes,” one of the men pleaded.

”No—” the nurse's brows jumped as she noticed Gun. ”Ah!”

Gun walked over to the group. He glanced at the men, then turned to look at the nurse, ”Is there a problem, nurse?”

Before the nurse could reply, one of the men cuts her off, ”Ah, you must be the younger brother. Can we have a moment?” His eyes flashed, recognising Gun from the case file.

Gun frowned imperceptibly. ”Why? In regards to my testimony, I've already given one.”

”No, well—” the man laughed sheepishly, showing that he meant no harm. ”We just have a few questions, is all.”

Gun sighed. The men were stubborn. ”Fine. But not today. My sister just woke up and she needs me.”

”That's fine, that's fine! We can schedule for another time,” the man conceded. As long as the two agreed to testify, it didn't matter whether it was today or tomorrow.

After the men left, Gun accompanied Yeo Ri who had fallen asleep.

With nothing to do, he took out his phone and informed a few people who knew about the situation that Yeo Ri had regained consciousness.

Unsurprisingly, his phone was bombarded with calls afterwards.

Afraid if waking Yeo Ri up, he went outside to answer them.

The first to call was Hwang Se Jin.

After finding out about Yeo Ri's situation, he had been the first to act. Thanks to his quick thinking, Yeo Ri's life was still intact. For that, Gun was very thankful towards him.

”Se Jin-ssi,” Gun greeted.

”Gun! How's Yeo Ri? Is she okay?”

”Mm. She's a little out of it, but she seems... fine.”
