When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 61 Death

"——Live freely all your life, and think of me for a moment."

Hee-joo, who was about to wash the pile of clothes, finally threw them aside and stood up.

His way of speaking was always difficult to understand and obscure, but she felt that she could not miss this signal. She took a step instinctively, without time to recall the old wounds.

"It can't end like this..."

Just as she was about to find her coat and car keys, the phone rang. She picked up the phone as soon as she looked at the screen, and her sister shouted.

"Where are you? Are you near the memorial hall?"

Hee-joo said "no" and tapped the tablet twice. Her sister's momentum suddenly weakened and she hesitated.

"...Did you see the news?"

Hee-joo remembered that her sister was the first to release the exclusive news. 

"I also wanted to find out who that woman was, but I failed." 

"…..."

"The woman's voice was cut out of the recording file."

Hong In-ah was a little angry.

"I don't know if it's to protect that woman or something."

The elder sister said indignantly: "I should have stopped this marriage earlier...!"

"Don't come here, stay at home today...! It's so crowded with reporters, there's no place to stand, it's so weird."

There was a hint of urgency in the elder sister's voice.

"Huh... why are you so uneasy?"

The elder sister's breathing became rapid, as if she was running.

"Which reporters are Baek Sa-eon with? We are all here, who is he broadcasting with?"

Hee Joo grabbed a coat and walked to the living room.

"Ha, really... am I too credulous... ha, I'm going crazy. What's going on?"

Hong In-ah took the receiver away and asked suddenly.

"Hee Joo, has Baek Sa-eon done anything abnormal recently?"

Hee Joo hurriedly tapped the tablet, and the elder sister hesitated and sighed.

"... I'm sorry, actually the incest news was written based on your husband's report." 

"…..!"

What?

Who... reported it?

"But it's strange when you think about it. Why would Baek Sa-eon do something that would destroy his image? He's not that kind of person."

Hee-joo stood there in a daze, and turned on the TV as if she was hypnotized.

"The press conference was held, but the reporters couldn't get in...! We are trapped in the screening room? What on earth is that live broadcast...?”

Hong In-ah said, looking at the noisy colleagues around her.

"Did you really find anything unusual at home?"

At this time, Hee-joo's eyes were fixed on the TV screen.

"The other party is not a mistress. I have never betrayed my marital obligations and loyalty. This alone is unpleasant."

Hearing this obvious lie, she felt a knot in her stomach.

"My wife is number 406 in the recording."
