When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 39 Is It Over?

"The prognosis for concussion is good, and the test results did not show other symptoms of shock. Just try to prevent inflammation before pulling the wires, and you can be discharged next week..."

'No...!'

'My precious time!'

Anxious eyes wandered around. Roughly calculated, there were only about ten days left before the divorce date.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening. She naturally...

"......!"

But where is the negotiation phone? A chill suddenly ran down her spine.

"Ah..."

She was pale and got up from the bed in a panic.

After sending the doctor who was making night rounds away, Hee-joo locked the door.

Luckily saw the mountaineering bag on the table. Hee-joo hurriedly searched for things and breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the negotiation phone.

"I hope no one saw..."

The blankness when she lost consciousness made her feel uneasy.

Hee-joo plugged the dead phone into the fast charger and waited.

If something went wrong, the kidnapper would contact her.

She was even more convinced considering his personality, which was like a broken brake.

"...No." 

She whispered as she swiped the screen quickly with her thumb. 

There were no restricted calls. 

There were only a full record of missed calls, all from Baek Sa-eon. 

- Really? But I was really scared. 

The sudden voice made her chest ache. Hee Joo shook her head violently and was startled. 

Although she felt dizzy, she thought it was better. Such emotions were unnecessary for her now. 

'The threatening call seems to be effective, right?' 

Finally, when the clock pointed to 10 o'clock, Hee Joo almost subconsciously picked up the phone used for negotiation. 

Beep, beep. 

She bit her lips anxiously, which reminded her of the forgotten touch. 

The cold hands, the hot lips and flesh in contrast, those strong feelings lingered in her mind... 

―Hello? 

"......!" 

Her fine hairs all stood up, she rubbed her neck red with nervousness, and spoke. 

"...It's me." 

The other party chuckled. 

―Yes, I know, it's you, 406.

"You can still answer the phone, it seems that Hong Hee-joo is not dead."

Why are you always so mean? 

"What?"

She shouldn't say such things.

She can feel his seriousness just by his voice.

"What do you mean by that?"

―According to 406, she almost got into trouble, don't say such bad things. 

He said as if he took a step back.

"I am a bad person, what can you do?"

Hee-joo's heart palpitated strangely, and she responded even more forcefully.
