Chaerin held back the urge to pass out with a ton of effort before she inhaled deeply and looked at Krystal. "Krystal, how did you become like this? Anyone in the Kim family has a right to diss me, but not you! All these years, who have I been fighting for? How dare you say such things to me?" She stared at Krystal with disappointment and heartbreak.
However, Krystal just laughed coldly. She covered her burning cheek and said, "I was just reminding you to be clear about the truth. Haven't you hit me today?"
"Be clear about the truth? What truth? I really didn't expect you to be like this. Are you looking down on me? Do you have to compare me to that slut, Ye-Jin? Don't forget that I gave birth to you, and not Ye-Jin!"
Chaerin was so furious that her face turned beetroot, and her gaze was sharp as she stared at Krystal.
"Don't compare you to Ye-Jin? That's all because you think you're far superior to her! Otherwise, Father wouldn't have left us and not even take a second look at us. Instead, she returned to Ye-Jin's side! Wake up! Look at yourself right now! You're like a street shrew! Forget about how your reputation has been ruined. The debt collectors have even knocked on your door. Don't you know how terrible your image is right now! Can't you cause less trouble for me? Because of you, look at what we've become? We're homeless and are left with nothing!"
The more Krystal spoke, the angrier she was. Since they were on the topic, she went all out and insisted on straightening matters. "I should have had so many things if not for you... How did I get a mother like you?"
Krystal gripped her face. It was as if her beautiful eyes were covered in frost. They were so cold that one could feel a piercing pain from her gaze.
"Enough! You keep saying that it's all because of me! Have you seen your husband? Since your child was born, Kai didn't even take a second look at you. You're really capable, but you can't even watch your own man now?"
Chaerin hit her below the belt as she could not help but ramble on with her harsh criticism.
Upon hearing this, Krystal just chuckled coldly. "At least, I'm still Mrs. Han right now. I am the head lady of the Han Corp, and even bore a son for the Han family, so they have no way of ditching me, and you? You've got nothing! The Kim family is gone! Grandfather is completely disappointed in you too. What do you have now? What? You have nothing—"
Pa!
In the midst of Krystal's sharp and cold shout, Chaerin lifted a hand again and bitterly slapped the other side of her face!
Krystal shrieked and widened her red eyes furiously as she glared at Chaerin. Her hands were twisted in a knot.
"Even if I am left with nothing, I am still your mother! I gave birth to you! This is karma for treating your mother this way! I can't believe that you are my daughter! Does that mean that your obedience all these years was fake? Did you lie even to your own mother? You're really daring now! Remember who raised you! I've really raised a thankless wretch!"
Chaerin was so mad that the blood rose to her head. She shot Krystal a cold glare before getting up.
"Reflect on your own conscience!" she demanded and then turned to leave the ward.
Yet, Yue Yeji had just opened the door when a tall figure greeted her sight.
In surprise, she subconsciously retreated two steps and then looked up to see, realizing that it was Kai!
At that moment, he stood coldly before the door. His handsome face did not reveal a hint of surprise at all. His dark eyes were filled with disdain as he looked callously at Chaerin!
Chaerin was shocked as if she realized something. Her heart started to beat really fast like a bullet train!
Could it be—?
That he had heard their conversation earlier?
How much did he hear?
Chaerin was startled and started to feel uneasy as she looked at Kai.
Yet, Kai just looked mockingly at her. His gaze made Chaerin's heart sink. She wanted to say something when Kai bitterly averted his gaze and looked at the sickbed.
"Kai!"
When Krystal saw Kai, she quickly propped herself up from the sickbed. Her gentle expression was still pale and was very different from her menacing expression earlier. Now, she did seem quite lovely and moving.
With her head of messy hair, Krystal asked Kai a little weakly, "Kai, you're here! How's our child?"
Yet Kai only responded with a cold expression, his cold gaze went back and forth between her and Chaerin, then a sneer curved on his lips, Krystal was a little alarmed by this, she felt uneasy, and she started to have a bad feeling she quickly explained, "Kai, earlier I, earlier those were all angry words, I, I don't actually..."
"Whether it is or not, you know best. In fact, I'm not the one that needs an explanation."
As Kai spoke, he glanced coldly behind at Chaerin and mocked, "This seems like you, but whenever you make a mistake, apart from pushing away the responsibilities and putting the blame on other people, what else do you know? Without a doubt, that's you, Krystal!"
"Kai, no! If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be like this. What do you want me, a weak girl, to do?"
Anger that was hard to conceal colored Krystal's pale face as she stared at Chaerin for a long time. There was a sense of her being wronged that could not be hidden in her voice as she choked on her sobs. "You wouldn't understand that feeling of being so high at the peak and plummeting into a pit! If it weren't for all those scandals, Yueying would at least still be around, and so would the Kim family. Grandmother wouldn't be laying on the bed half-alive! You wouldn't understand the feeling of being chased by those fierce debt collections. Everything is so horrible now! Can't she just be more patient and let me have a few days of peace?"
Kai scoffed. "That's your problem. I'm just here to warn you that just because you've given birth to a child, you can't cover up all of that past. No matter what you do, if you want to move Grandfather, it's all useless to me. I'm set on getting this divorce!" Kai cruelly said, not wanting to see her face anymore. He turned around to leave the ward, ignoring Krystal's expression that had hardened.
The Han family had already planned to give the child a grand full moon banquet. In reality, they had already acknowledged Krystal's identity. Obviously, Kai was very displeased about that!
