I Became A Terminally ill Villain - I became a terminally ill villain (Episode 139)
Episode 139
It didn’t take long before news spread that Seunghyeon had woken up. Although only a few people were truly happy about the news, Seunghyeon didn’t really care.
They weren’t my family anyway, and I had no desire to make a good impression. If you break off our relationship like this forever, I will be grateful. Seunghyeon thought so and prepared to be discharged from the hospital peacefully.
However, one day before discharge, an uninvited guest came to visit Seunghyeon. She was Seunghyeon’s mother.
When she heard that Seung-hyeon might wake up with a few hours left until departure, she canceled her flight and stayed in Korea. Now that she had no reason to leave the country in a hurry, she planned to finalize the divorce proceedings and leave Korea completely.
Tae-hyeop also had no regrets about his marriage, so the divorce process would proceed without difficulty. As she left the house she had stayed in for a long time, found a place to stay until then, and was enjoying a peaceful time, she suddenly thought of Seunghyeon.
I didn’t feel worried or happy. But I thought, wouldn’t it be better to see it at least once before leaving the country completely?
It was just a whim. Seunghyeon’s mother came to his hospital room with the idea of cleaning things up completely as it was the last time.
“… … .”
It’s difficult to say that he still looks healthy, but Seunghyeon was clearly seen with his eyes open and conscious. The first thought that came to mind at that moment was that I was bored.
I have looked at him my entire life since birth, but I have never felt much affection for him except when I found out that the child in my stomach was Alpha. She must have felt almost relieved.
I was told that it would be difficult to get pregnant again, but I endured it, thinking that it was okay because this baby was my alpha, and that I was lucky. However, when I heard that there was a high possibility that she would develop a fever, I literally felt like my world was falling apart.
After that, I never had a good look at Seunghyeon. It just seemed like an obstacle to ruin my life.
I knew that Seunghyun was trying his best. But that was completely natural. If he was born with a lack, shouldn’t he have done something like that?
So I didn’t feel sorry or pitiful.
‘I don’t even understand why I came here.’
But, inexplicably, she came to Seunghyeon of her own will. It was her first time, except she was looking for something to vent about.
“You finally woke up.”
Seunghyun didn’t even blink at the first words spoken in a cold voice. Instead, he just looked at her with his emotionless eyes, as if he were looking at someone else.
Has Seunghyun ever looked at himself like that? Seunghyeon also didn’t think of himself as a loving family member, but his current face was still unfamiliar.
Eyes that see others who have nothing to do with it. It was a similar gaze to the way she looked at her Seunghyeon.
“Are you feeling refreshed now?”
“Why do you think that is?”
Questions were answered with questions. She paused for a moment and thought. Why do you think you feel refreshed?
“Because now you can do whatever you want. As if life was boring after living as an alpha, he ended up dating an alpha, and besides. under… .”
Until pregnancy. It was something she didn’t want to say out loud, so she put her hand on her forehead and sighed.
“Your father knows what I have been longing for my whole life. If only I knew that the Chairman knew about your condition… .”
“Why should I care about that?”
Seunghyeon said as if he was pathetic. I thought there must have been a reason for coming all the way here, so I thought I’d see if he would listen, but he said the same thing even after coming all the way here.
‘I guess I should say I’m glad it’s consistent.’
It was fortunate that we were able to cut off Seunghyeon’s family without a single trace of regret. Seunghyun said, taking a step closer to her.
“If that’s all you have to say, you’d better go back.”
“… what?”
“It’s good that my mother is so embarrassed and disgusted with me and I have no regrets about my family. “Isn’t it okay to go back like this and live as a stranger?”
‘Han Seung-hyeon’ clearly had a desire to be recognized by his family. It was more out of a sense of duty than out of love for his family, but for the sake of his goal, it was the only thing he cared about, so I felt a little sorry for arbitrarily cutting him off, but now I wasn’t sorry at all.
“Don’t you know better than me how meaningless and cumbersome family is?”
“… … .”
I thought she would get angry and attack me, but surprisingly, she didn’t get angry. She just looked down at her floor with a thoughtful look on her face.
‘Did you say you were getting divorced? Well, now this person can be free too.’
Seunghyeon opened his mouth when he saw that. I could tell that this would be the last time I would see her.
“Now I just live like a stranger. “It’s okay to think you never had children to begin with, and live the way you want.”
“… … .”
“If you live out of that house and someday you feel like acting on a whim, don’t come back. “That would be the best way for us.”
I thought he would get angry when we met, but he was strangely calm. I guess it’s because she knows that Seung-hyeon is no longer Tae-hyeop’s wife and there is no chance of her returning to the company. Seunghyeon’s success is no longer related to her safety.
But there seemed to be another reason besides that. However, she nodded her head without knowing the true nature of that feeling until the end.
“… okay.”
She quietly left the hospital room without saying any more. Jaeyoung, who was worried that there might be a commotion, approached Seunghyeon.
“… Are you okay?”
“What’s not to be okay with? Rather, I feel relieved.”
Seunghyun shrugged his shoulders and said. It definitely felt refreshing. I thought I would never see her again.
“Mother will never come back. “If it ends with a conversation like this, it’s probably peaceful.”
It was surprising that she decided to leave on her own. She was so full of greed that she thought she would never be able to abandon HJ’s name. It wasn’t a very pleasant reason, but the important thing was that she was leaving that house of her own will.
‘Nobody in that house can be sane.’
Although she didn’t seem to be conscious of it, Seunghyeon felt a little relief on her face. She said she wished she were dead, but seeing her real face made her feel strange.
Maybe now that I’ve already left that house and feel at ease, my thoughts may have changed a bit. But even so, I didn’t want to get involved again.
The family bond has already ended and there is no one left to apologize to. Now only Seunghyun exists, with his body and some of his memories.
‘So now we’ll never meet again. There shouldn’t be any.’
One day, I might be able to look back on the situation more leisurely and feel sorry for Seunghyeon, but even if that were the case, I had no intention of accepting it.
There is no one she needs to apologize to anymore, and Seung-hyeon’s parents gave up their last chance. If it had been before, the real Seunghyeon was already dead, so he planned to live his own life from now on.
I guess she’s still a little better than Taehyeop, who doesn’t even come to visit. Seunghyun thought so and checked the time. It was soon dinner time.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
It didn’t matter that the hospital food was provided to him, but Jaeyoung had to prepare his own meals. I stayed in the hospital room for lunch, saying I wasn’t hungry, so now it was time for me to be really hungry.
“… Ah yes.”
Jaeyoung, who was thinking about something else, answered a beat slowly. Is it because you’re worried? Seunghyeon said to reassure Jaeyoung.
“I’m really fine. We weren’t on good terms to begin with. “I feel fortunate that I was able to completely cut it off like this.”
Seunghyeon said casually. However, Jaeyoung still had an ambiguous expression, as if he was not at ease.
“… “Don’t you think you need a family?”
“Because there are families in this world who are not as good as they are. “You know that Jae-young Joo said he saw it too, right?”
“… … .”
“So don’t worry about it. “Because I’m not foolish enough to do foolish things because I’m blinded by my family’s affection.”
Seunghyeon said reassuringly. Although it was a story about his parents, it had a slightly different meaning to Jaeyoung.
‘… I don’t think I have good memories of my family, but me and my child… .’
Could it be that they feel burdened by being tied together in the name of family? A shadow fell over Jaeyoung’s anxious face.
“Aren’t you tired of eating near the hospital? I’m not a kid and I can be alone, so I’ll go a little further away today. It’s okay to go home. “I think the hospital is home.”
Seung-hyeon, who did not notice the change, simply asked Jae-young if he was tired of the restaurant near the hospital and suggested that they go somewhere else today.
