What’s so great about a woman who can’t even send a single text while we’re apart?4bfc43a531155bba

He turned away every woman who approached the restroom, directing them elsewhere. It was absurd for a man decked out in head-to-toe designer brands to be doing this, but the serious atmosphere inside the restroom meant he couldn’t let anyone else in.4500bd7be58d80f8

As a result, he looked ridiculous. It was already unlike the Ryu Tae-san anyone knew to be caught in such a situation, and if he’d been holding a small women’s purse on top of it all, he would have lost it.6a1a187e6221fd53

At first, he stood guard outside the restroom because he was worried Eun-cho might try to run away. Instead, he ended up overhearing a conversation he never expected. He never knew Director Lee Han-moo’s wife, who always seemed so elegant, could be so venomous.df2e45f3f835fd9a

“Hmph, really!”12f05de7e4760d22

Madam Jung threw down the check and snorted. The moment the woman disappeared down the hallway, Eun-cho staggered again. He couldn’t understand why she was stubbornly holding on, even with such a high fever that she couldn’t even stand straight.3afa9f858a68f14a

Eun-cho gave a weak smile and rested her forehead on his shoulder, looking completely drained. It was as if the tension she’d been desperately holding onto had snapped, and she had no energy left. The spot where their foreheads touched quickly grew hot. How could a woman who made a living taking care of other people’s health be so careless with her own?5121771339f5050c

His mood, which had improved slightly after getting a small revenge on Madam Jung, was now back in the dumps. Getting her to the hospital quickly was the priority. He wouldn’t be able to relax until she was hooked up to an IV.846b00f237b99093

In the past, women had given Tae-san their hearts just for making eye contact and smiling at them, without him even trying. Was Lee Eun-cho any different?
