BOOK 1: The Heir Series; Choi Seungcheol

56: WALK AWAY

Seungcheol immediately transferred Taerin to a presidential suite when he already made sure that her vitals are stable. Seungjae also sent two other bodyguards to guard outside the room. He wanted to say no, because of what happened. But then, he just wanted nothing but for Taerin to wake up. He's mind is fvcked up and in complete mess when a woman came in. She came with a nurse who's pushing a cart.

"Good evening, Mr. Choi." The doctor reached out a hand and he shook it while a confused expression. "I'm Doctor Ynneth Lee. I am your wife's ob-gyne." He nodded when he heard that. "I was doing my evening round when I saw your wife's name. How is she?"

"She's still not waking up yet." He answered gruffly.

"I see." She walked to Taerin. She grabbed something on the cart and the nurse put a jelly on top of it before pressing it down on top of Taerin's still flat stomach. And then the room was filled with a distinct muffled beat.

"That's your baby's heartbeat, Mr. Choi."

Once again, he was struck by the reality of it – a child. He's going to be a father. And he almost lost them.

"The baby's fine." The doctor broke his thinking. After wiping out the jelly on her skin, she faced him. "Looks like your wife attracts too much danger. I just told her not to tire herself out and get some rest."

"Is there something wrong?" Fear crept inside him. And it was not a welcoming emotion.

"Nothing. Yet. But if she keeps on putting herself under stress at this early stage of her pregnancy, then it's not impossible a miscarriage could take place." A dead weight sank in his chest, it made him feel heavy. "She needs rest, Mr. Choi. Her blood pressure dropped and it's not good for someone who is pregnant. You have to keep her on bed in a stress-free environment." His jaw hardened at the thought of his baby being in danger. "When her blood pressure turned normal and when it won't come down within one week, then she can resume her normal lifestyle but with limitations."

Stress-free environment.

As far as he can remember, he had never given Taerin a safe environment. If they will live at BoA Manor, Taerin would be safe. But his work demands his time. And it's Taerin's dream to become a well-known fashion and jewelry designer. How can he restrict her from her work?

He ran a wild hand through his hair. He didn't know how many time it already happened, and he didn't care. It infuriates him to hell that he had to learn about his child in a dangerous way. What if he didn't reach in time? Does it mean that it's possible that he won't ever know that he's going to become a father?

He can't think of things like that. What only matters now is she's safe.

He heard someone came inside and a bodyguard called him. "Sir." He gave him a phone. "A call for you."

"Cheol." It was Seungjae. "We got him."

His hands clenched automatically, and he had to ease his tension away because of his freshly stitched wound. "Where is he?" His voice held a threatening tone.
