Chapter 12: Found you

The revelation had shaken Jongsuk to his core. The reports confirming the existence of his daughter, Kim Y/n, seemed both miraculous and surreal. It was as if fate had offered him a lifeline, a chance to right the wrongs of the past and reclaim the daughter he had lost.

As he stared at the name on the report, a rush of emotions surged within him joy, disbelief, and a profound sense of longing. He had spent years mourning the loss of Y/n, believing her to be gone forever. But now, a glimmer of hope had emerged, beckoning him to act.

Jongsuk knew that every moment was precious. He couldn't afford to waste time. Determination surged through him, and he rose from his chair, leaving behind the trappings of his corporate world. The business deals, the meetings, and the power he wielded were momentarily forgotten. His focus was now solely on finding his daughter.

Leaving his office, he called for his driver, intent on making his way to the hospital where his daughter was being cared for. His heart raced as he navigated the busy streets of the city. Each passing moment was filled with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

At the hospital, he hurried to the reception desk, his eyes scanning the area for any information about his daughter. He couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, a need to see her, to confirm her existence with his own eyes.

Approaching the receptionist, Jongsuk inquired about the patient named Kim Y/n. The receptionist, after checking her records, provided him with the room number where she was being kept. Jongsuk's heart skipped a beat as he received the information he had longed for.

With a determined stride, he made his way to the designated room. The corridors of the hospital seemed to stretch endlessly, each step echoing the years he had spent searching for his daughter. As he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment, gathering his emotions and strength.

Entering the room, he was met with the sight of his daughter's frail form lying motionless on the hospital bed. Machines surrounded her, their beeps and hums filling the sterile room. She appeared fragile, her face bearing the scars of her ordeal.

Jongsuk couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions as he approached her bedside. He reached out and gently took her cold, lifeless hand in his. It was a stark reminder of the suffering she had endured, the battles she had fought in her silence.

"Y/n," he whispered, his voice filled with a mixture of love and sorrow. "I'm here, my dear. I've found you."

As he looked down at her, a single tear escaped from the corner of his eye, falling onto her hand. He vowed to be by her side, to support her in her journey to recovery, and to seek justice for the torment she had endured.

The room remained silent, save for the sounds of the machines that monitored her condition. Jongsuk knew that their path ahead would be filled with challenges and uncertainties. But at that moment, with his daughter's hand in his, he felt a renewed sense of hope.

He was determined to bring her back from the darkness that had enveloped her, to mend the wounds that marred her once radiant smile. No matter how long it took, he would be there for her, ready to rewrite their story with love and healing.

The world outside the hospital room continued to move, but in that intimate space, a father and daughter were reunited, their journey toward healing and reconciliation just beginning.
