Second chance

47. new update

On the other side, Taeyeon was lying in bed and browsing the news idly, when she suddenly heard footsteps. She looked up as someone knocked on the door of the ward. Taeyeon raised her eyebrows. Her family usually didn’t knock on the door but instead entered into the ward directly. Taeyeon said ‘Come in’.

The door was pushed open and the butler of the Hwang Family who was pushing the wheelchair of Hwang Yuxin came into view.

Taeyeon hurriedly beckoned them in and asked, “Aunt Hwang, why are you here?”

Hwang Yuxin asked the butler to push her in front of Taeyeon’s hospital bed. Smiling, she took Taeyeon’s hand.

“I just heard from Fany that you are in hospital. Why did you get yourself hurt again? Though you left the sanatorium ahead of me, you were hospitalized twice after that and at such short intervals. Are you cursed? Let’s go to the Ling’an Temple to pray to the Buddha after you are discharged from the hospital, okay?”

Taeyeon blinked, so it seemed Aunt Hwang came over today just to say these things to her?

“Aunt, it is too much trouble for you. I’ll go there myself. It’s not very convenient for you to go to the temple.” Taeyeon smiled sincerely.

She had no religious belief from when she was born. She would go to the temple to pray to the Buddha? She was afraid that the Buddha might be offended by her impiety.

Hwang Yuxin smiled and said, “I know you are always worried about me. Fany chose the right one. You’re a good girl. I’m really glad that I am fond of the girl Fany  loves. You two get married when you graduate from college, alright?” Then she continued.

“There are only the two of us at home all these years. I’ve been in hospital for so many years, so Fany is always alone at home. He must be very lonely. If you marry him, I’ll have nothing to worry about.”

Taeyeon blinked and wondered why Aunt Hwang came here. Why did she ask her to pray to the Buddha with her and then suddenly urge her to marry Stephanie?

Taeyeon opened her mouth and was about to speak, when Hwang Yuxin looked at Taeyeon with a smile and asked,

“Are you too happy to speak? I can understand you. It’s not easy to find a young man as good-looking and capable as Fany ah, so I always say that both of you are lucky. It’s also not easy to find a girl as beautiful and kind as you…”

Taeyeon hurriedly interrupted Hwang Yuxin. “Well, Aunt Hwang, I am just a freshman in high school…”

“That’s okay. I know you’re very excellent. I heard you had a bet with your brother that you’d finish the high school course in a year. I’d like to congratulate you in advance. By the way, you’ll be able to finish the college course in two years, right? I don’t think it’s necessary for you to go to graduate school. You don’t have to find a job. There are a lot of positions available for you in the Jung's Group. It’s not a bad choice for you to get married early.”

Taeyeon was speechless and just listened to Hwang Yuxin who said excitedly, “Oh, yes, you can have a lot of children. If you don’t have time to look after them, leave them to me…”

Taeyeon chuckled awkwardly. “It’s still too early to talk about this, Aunt Hwang.”

“No, Stephanie is already 27 years old. It’s not early at all.” Hwang Yuxin said, “Though you’re only 23 years old, Fany is 27 years old and will be thirty years old in three years time. He is not young at all, so, Erika, please, please let me see my grandson soon in the near future. Don’t let my son wait a long time, ok?”

Taeyeon paused. Yes, her real age was 27 and she was actually not a 23-year-old girl. She was actually as old as Stephanie and only three years younger than Yul, one year younger than Yoong, and just as old as Sooyoung.
