"Doctor, Jieun sshi servant is here." A young nurse head popped in Doctor Pieter's room.
The old doctor looks up from his paper and gesturing the nurse to let Yongguk in the room. The nurse nodded before disappear and a minutes after, the door creaked open and Yongguk appear. "Sit down, Yongguk." he talked in fluent Korean language, not a lot of people knew that he actually half Korean.
Yongguk nodded and sat across him. "How about Jieun condition now, doctor?"
"She's good. Actually, she can walk if she want since last week but I don't understand why she hiding this good news from Geunsuk."
"She only wants to make sure about something first, doctor."
"I understand. Is it about the accident?"
Yongguk nodded again. "I hope you can keep this secret, doctor."
"Don't worry. I will protect her secret. She's had like my daughter after all."
"If there's nothing else you want to say, I'll take my leave now, Doctor." He stood up and bowed.
"Ah, yeah. See you later."
Yongguk heading to another destination after leaving the doctor place. A private detective agency. He talked with the detective for almost an hour. He handed the police report and ask him to investigate Jieun's case once again. He smiled in relief after the detective promising to finish the investigation as fast as possible. After that, he heads to Jieun's family lawyer. The one who take care Jieun's father last will.
"That's true. Mr. Song last will stated that the president of company is still Jieun but the Main Director is Geunsuk. However if Jieun didn't capable to do the task as company president for more than 3 month, Geunsuk automatically become the president as long he become Jieun's husband. If Jieun's passed away, Geunsuk's position will be decided by the board member."
Yongguk thought for a while. At one point, there's nothing wrong with the will but after going to a deep contemplation he voiced out a question, "What if her husband doing a criminal thing to make her incapable doing her job as a company president? Or the worst kill her so he can take over her place?"
The lawyer removes his glasses and put down the file quietly, "Are you trying to tell me that Geunsuk may be involved in the accident that make Mr. Song passed away and Jieun paralyzed?"
"I'm not really sure. The police said the accident is pure accident but reinvestigation won't hurt anybody, right?"
"Yes, you right. I'll try to help Jieun."
"Thank you, Sir. Please, prevent the board member to choose Geunsuk as company president despite Jieun incapable to doing her task at least until the reinvestigate finished. You can ask the board member to chose Mr. Francois as temporary president, I think him capable enough."
"Is Jieun who ask you to say that?"
"Yes."

The ride back to Jieun mansion was so quiet. Yongguk's mind torn in two. If he following his instinct, he was sure that Geunsuk involving in the accident and he didn't need to hire detective or whatsoever, he only need his fist to finish him but half of him still hold the presumption of innocence. He sighed again. If not because he loves Jieun deeply, he would never involved himself inside the mess. "I hate rich people." He muttered to himself.

Few times her eyes glanced between phone on table and a row of number in her notes. She reach out her hand and pick up the phone. She contemplate again. She didn't want to call the number but once again, profesionalism was above anything, including her personal issue.
