The Divorced Man Has Returned chapter 45

The Divorced Man Has Returned 45

#45. …Inwook-ah.

The first thing that caught my eye was an unfamiliar ceiling.

Isn’t this… A house?

The power did not enter the body properly.

The warm body temperature you can feel in your hands.

There, she turned her head slightly and looked down, Jena was asleep holding my hand.

Memories started coming back one by one before I lost my mind.

I must have been hit by an Ezion bullet that was flying towards Sihwa in the semi-representative tournament…

This place seemed to be a hospital.

I put my hand on the wounded area and regretted my actions.

“Shut up!”

A moan escaped from the mouth in a more intense pain than I expected.

As if the trembling in my body was transmitted to Jena, Jena opened her eyes without letting go of her hand on the other side of me.

“…Did it happen?”

Jena slowly got up her body and said hello to me.

“Yeah. Here?”

“Serim General Hospital.”

But it’s a very luxurious room for a normal hospital, right?

I looked around and realized that I was alone in a very large hospital room.

“Is this a general hospital?”

“…This is a special room that Harin Yun prepared for you.”

Harin…

I remembered her screaming.

You must have been very surprised…

“How was the final?”

Jena gently moved her chair from where she was sitting by my bedside.

“…Choi Inwook.”

She put her hand on my forehead and she called out my name.

“The final was canceled due to your accident.”

“…That’s right. The student who shot this at me?”

I had to figure out where he got this.

It would never have been something a student could get…

Jenna didn’t say anything for a while.

“…Is it Jena?”

“Park Min-seok was taken into investigation because of Soji on Edge. He must be being interrogated by now.”

“After all, it sounds like you don’t know where the source is.”

“…Yes.”

Jena, who had been staring at her tiredly at my face, turned her head and looked out of her window.

With her expression on her face as if she didn’t want to talk more about the incident, I decided to ask another question.

“How long have I been hospitalized here?”

“Three days.”

…I’ve been lying down for a long time.

“Do you know when I might be able to leave the hospital?”

“It was recommended that you stay in the hospital for at least four days and then go see the progress.”

Jenna said while stroking my hair.

I felt a sense of incongruity in her strangely friendly touch.

…I remembered the story the spirit of the beginning told me.

All the women who had a relationship with me inherited the memories.

Ie. The Yena in front of me right now was the sound of Yena who knew everything.

What kind of expression should I make?

Why are you protecting me like this even though you remember everything?

I am reflected in your eyes now.

What kind of person are you?

“…Yena, how long have you been here?”

It is conceivable that she may have worked as a medical team member within the academy, but since she was transported to the hospital, there was no need for her to remain here.

“Three days.”

I couldn’t help but be surprised by Jena’s answer.

“Then I’ve been here since I fell…?”

“Yes. I was always by your side.”

She answered with a calm voice, as if nothing had happened.

“No. How about your academy. How about a part-time job?”

It seems that her life pattern is messed up because of me, so I wanted to tell her to leave immediately.

I didn’t want to cause any more trouble.

“…Shh.”

Jena put her index finger to my lips as if not to say anything to me.

“Don’t worry. Choi Inwook. I’ll take care of my work.”

Jenna lifted her finger and caressed my cheek.

“You just. You care about your health. When you care about me. That’s what helps me.”

“But…”

“Still, I was going to go because I was at the limit. But I’m glad I went to see that I regained consciousness before I went.”

Jena got up from her seat and started packing her things.

“…Choi Inwook.”

After rummaging through the pockets of her bag, she reached out her hand to me.

“This. It’s not a big deal, but take care of it.”

The thing Jena gave me was a candy containing various vitamins.

“Don’t worry about other things and just focus on your recovery for now. Okay?”

I nodded my head at her words that sounded like a child.

“If you need anything, press the bell next to you and a nurse will come to you.”

“Thank you, Jena.”

Come to think of it, I didn’t seem to have even said a word to her properly, so I thanked her for moving away from her.

“I’ll be back, so I’m waiting.”

With those words, Yena left my room.

After Jena left, I calmly organized the thoughts in her head.

First of all, it was necessary to reconsider the words of the spirit of the beginning.

What is needed for the world to perish is my marriage.

I can’t confirm it, but there is a high probability that my hypothesis was correct.

[My child grows into a person who will be the key to prevent the destruction of the earth.]

Otherwise, the spirit would not have given me the ability to conceive.

If this premise is true, marrying the strongest woman in theory was the best decision to avoid extinction.

If that happens, the person that comes to mind naturally is…

Sihwa.

Even in her life this time, the face of her who showed ruinous inaction came to mind.

It was great…

The skills she showed in this final were really great.

Maybe it wasn’t the strongest first year since the Hunter Academy was opened.

But if this were true, the spirit of the beginning would have ordered me to marry Sihwa.

There would be no need to give me a choice or return the memories of Jena and Harin.

Ie. It seemed like a sign that it was okay even if I wasn’t as strong as Sihwa.

Then, to what level is it okay, there must be a common denominator between the three…

I want to rank S-class. This.

Right now, the only thing that emerged as the common point of the three people with completely different environments and personalities was the S-class.

Dr.

They said that even a tiger would come if I spoke.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

No. To be honest, I didn’t even take it out of my mouth, I just thought about it, but what I saw when I opened the door was Sihwa, whose eyes were red and bloodshot.

“…Choi Inwook.”

“It’s Sihwa…”

She came to the front of the bed and hugged me tightly.

Her wounds, which touched her chest, were sore, but I couldn’t let her drop her, so I clenched my teeth and endured her pain.

“Why did you do that?”

She lifted her head from my arms and looked into my eyes.

“Just leave me alone. Why did you do that? You idiot.”

Her arms were weak, but I reached out and wiped the tears from her eyes.

“I know what that is. How am I going to let you fit?”

Even if I had to go back to that moment again, I would make the same decision.

I had no regrets for my actions.

“…We’re done.”

Sihwa grabbed the bed rail with a crying voice.

“Do this and tell me to give up on you?”

“Forget you and meet someone else?”

“Where is such a thing. Where is such a thing. Choi In-wook.”

A stream of tears ran down her cheek.

“Don’t cry. Sihwa.”

Like her heart, I wanted to hug her, but her body didn’t move like her heart.

“I… You can’t give up. No, you don’t. Choi In-wook.”

She clenched her fist as her tears were dripping down her cheeks.

“Did you hear who made you like this?”

“That’s Park Min-seok…”

“So the source of that child’s stuff.”

Jena didn’t say anything to me, but does she know something about Sihwa?

“Listen carefully. Ha-rin Yoon…”

In the story of the poem that follows, I felt my pupils gradually enlarge.

I can’t.

There’s no way Harin could do such a terrible thing.

“Sihwa-ya. Even if I’m dazed, joking around like this isn’t funny. It’s a lie. Huh? Harin is such a kid.”

To try to deny her, she tried to turn her back, but Sihwa shook her head.

“…You should think with common sense. Where is Ezion, a rolling stone in the local park?”

…She was right.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Never be a public person. No, it wasn’t something an aspiring hunter who had not yet graduated from the academy would be holding.

It was difficult to be able to provide that much without at least the support of large corporations and the government.

Shocked by Sihwa’s story, I felt my head go blank.

“…It’s absurd. Why is it Harin?”

As I was speechless with a shocked face, Sihwa was worried about my health, so she held my hand and talked.

“…I knew it was an overly provocative story for you who are sick, but I still feel like I have to tell you.”

“No… Thank you for being honest…”

To be honest, the mental damage was tremendous, but I thought it was 100 times better than I didn’t know.

“I… Is it okay if I’m alone for a while?”

She was very grateful to Sihwa for coming this far, but now she needs time to be alone.

“…Are you okay?”

Sihwa looked at me with anxious eyes.

But more than that, I needed time to be alone now.

I couldn’t afford to take care of other people.

“I beg you.”

Sihwa nodded at my serious words and got up.

“Get in shape. I’ll wait for you at the academy.”

With those words, Sihwa opened the door and left the hospital room.

I grabbed my hair as soon as she left.

The story that Sihwa told was a story that should not have happened.

It wasn’t the Harin I knew. That.

My head ached from complicated thoughts.

I need a cigarette… I need a cigarette.

I didn’t even have the energy to leave the hospital right now.

I finally gave up and stared blankly at the ceiling of the hospital.

Why is that? Harina.

Why the hell?

And after a while, a familiar voice came into my ear.

“…Inwook-ah.”

The appearance of a slightly lean Harin caught my eye.
