Pay With Your Heart
Chapter 56 - Resolution

HOSPITAL

"You can wait here. You don't intend coming with me for all the test do you?" Mrs Lee raised a brow to Secretary Chang-Wok who was tailing behind her as they walked into the lobby of the hospital.

"The boss..." Secretary Chang-Wok hesitated. He didn't want to disrespect the chairman's wife, but the thing was he was more scared of her son then even the chairman himself.

He paused when he observed the daring look Mrs Lee was shooting at him.

"Okay Madam" Secretary Chang-Wok reluntanctly nodded. He had no choice than to let her go on her own. After all, Dan-Han never really mentioned if he should go with her, he had only intructed to come along with her, and that's what he has done.

Mrs Lee heaved a sigh of the moment she walked into the elevator. She knew he couldn't come along with her to Jae-Hyun's office, if she still wanted to keep her secret from Dan-Han.

....

Jae-Hyun's office

"We can't do this for much longer. Dan-Han is very observant and he's also a mind reader." Jae-Hyun stated.

"I know" Mrs Lee sighed. But she couldn't tell him now, Dan-Han was yet to replace himself a partner, at least someone he liked. And she didn't know what impact the truth would have on him. How would he take the issue of losing his mother? She didn't want to see her son down, she'd be happy if he had someone that could share in his joy as well as in his pain.

"So when should we tell him and the chairman? And you know the stage of your cancer is progressing fast. This is the last stage and you need appropriate and intensive care" Jae-Hyun said worriedly. He was more worried about her health because she was denying herself from receiving her proper treatment, all in the name of she doesn't want to burden her family.

"Jae-Hyun I'm sorry for putting you through this. I know I've put you in a difficult position and it must be difficult for you. I'm truly sorry" She apologized. It wasn't her intention to put Jae-Hyun in a dilemma.

"You shouldn't apologize to me. You're like a mother to me" He said passionately.

"I promise I'll tell him, but first I need him to replace someone for himself. Someone who he'll love and will love him back unconditionally. Someone that would understand him and be a shoulder for him to lean on"

"But.."

"I won't get involved. I won't be that reckless to make same decision again, as I've already hurt him in the past" She interrupted him, knowing fully well what he was trying to say. She had tried replaceing someone in for him in the past and her actions has ruined her sons life and pushed him away from her.

"I just need to point him in the direction of the right girl, at least if I happen to see one of course" She laughed. Jae-Hyun felt bad for her. She was his friend's mother and he was a medical doctor and he couldn't do anything for her. He couldn't make her feel better. He didn't understand what she was going through, but he knew things must be difficult for her. Only if Dan-Han would completely forgive her and let the past go.

Mrs Lee understood the look on Jae-Hyun's face, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, just help me get past Dan-Han today" She comforted him as she revealed a small smile.

Jae-Hyun sighed deeply. "Okay. we'll have to do pretend like you are actually getting examined by doing the appropriate test, because Dan-Han might get suspicious if you leave too early." He suggested.

"Sure, but what about results?" She asked, that was of course her concern.

"Don't worry about that, I'll handle it" Jae-Hyun assured her before leading her out of his office. Although Dan-Han was shrewd, the hospital was still his domain, and he could still fool Dan-Han if he wanted to.

"Thank you" She said appreciatively. She wasn't bothered about the state of her health, but about her son replaceing a good partner to help him share his burdens and love him.

'I hope the heavens direct me to that one girl. Let it be my passing gift to him' She prayed in her heart.

....

Eun-Sun was still in a daze after all that happened at the emergency ward. She heart was in a turmoil, there was so much pain searing through her body at the moment. Mixed feeling of confusion, pain, anger, and loss, were all the feelings that were going through her at the moment.

The words her mother had uttered to her were more hurtful than all the abuses and hardship she had endured from strangers and supposed friends.

She lazily walked to pay the bill. A sardonic smile appeared on her face when she received a debt alert after paying the bills and a silly thought came to mind. She was down to her last hundred and she still thought about giving it to her mother.

Eun-Sun hissed at her thought. If her mother thought she was a curse, then she'd behave like one. Aren't cursed and evil children narcissitic? That was the life style she was going to adopt. Henceforth, she was going to be selfcentered. Her utmost concern would be herself. She was going to live her life the best way she could and forget all about the baggages she has been carrying for such a long time.

Eun-Sun was still solidfying her result when she accidentally bumped into someone. Looking at the bag on the floor, Eun-Sun scrouched down to pick it up.

"I'm sorr..." The words she was about to say got stucked when she saw the lady standing in front of her. Eun-Sun was shocked and surprised to see her.

"Mrs Lee?"
