HERA PALACE - Penthouse ✔️

38 Abandon

Eunra was in trance. She was still sleepy from her medications. She struggles to gain consciousness, but she remembered, her brother is still waiting for her. The only one she had left.

Where had he been all this time?

"Could I please see my brother? He is called Jung Eunbaek. Same age as me. Is he okay?"

Eunra asked the nurse next to her, who was changing her saline needle.

"We can look into that, please wait a while as I inquire the doctor." The nurse smiles, as she does a few last checkups.

"Thank you."

Eunra believed, if her brother is alive, she must stay strong so they must discover what happened to Seokhoon. She was sad that he was not by her side, but she believed he must have been injured too. The naive her believed that Seokhoon was not part of Joo Dan Tae's plan.

But in fact, he was.

He didn't want to. But he didn't reject his father, rebuke his father, betray his father. Because he was scared. He was a coward. Thus, he was THE knife, cutting into Eunra's wounds.

Deeper, harder.

The nurse exits the room, where a doctor stands in waiting.

"She wishes to see her brother Jung Eunbaek." The nurse repeats Eunra's request.

"Okay, you head off to work. I will deal with it." The doctor replied.

As the nurse leaves, he calls Joo Dan Tae.

"Sir, Ms Jung wishes to see her brother, permission to see?"

On the other side of the call, Joo Dan Tae smirks.

He was in a good mood.

"See her brother? I guess this little brat is back on her conscious?"

"From my observation, she is not as fluctuating."

"Permitted." Joo Dan Tae laughs, "I just had the best sponsor I've ever had and there's nothing wrong for me to be nice for one time." He laughs. "Thank you, doctor, you will be thanked with a ransom."

The doctor thanks Joo Dan Tae for his generosity. "Thank you, President Joo, I will proceed to take her to see her brother."

"Just be careful and have your people on watch."

"Yes."

Joo Dan Tae laughs as he ends the call.

"Ah, Jung Eunra, Jung Eunbaek, how did I never have the thought to use you two as baits for your grandparent's money?"

Joo Dan Tae laughs, victoriously, drinking his whiskey.

The doctor walks into the special care room where Eunra is in.

"Ms Jung, I am your doctor. I am going to bring you to see Mr Jung."

Eunra's eyes brighten.

"Thank you thank you thank you!!!" She cries in happiness.

Eunra was slowly placed onto a wheelchair as she was wheeled into another special care room, not so far away from her place.

The moment she entered the humidified room, the beeping vitals scared her.

Eunbaek laid there. Wounded, patched up, and had to breathe with a ventilator.

"Oppa..." Eunra's voice cracked as she moves closer to Eunbaek. She was right by his side, and his face was pale.
