ME : Dr. Shin already gave the answers to your questions.

*In Doctor's cabin*

He asked me to take a seat while he walked to his chair, the table inbetween parting both. I couldn't grab much of his cabin, JaeRa's concern occupied me all over. However, the name plaque resting on his table with white letters engraved on the black marble, fairly stood out to me.
"신 석 (Shin Seok)", I read in my mind before the owner of the same snapped me out.

Dr. SHIN : Her child is safe and is under observation for today, just in case. He will be moved to the general ward by tomorrow. But...

ME : But what?

Dr.SHIN : But, she has some serious head injuries which might have caused by her trying to (-mimicking the action he was telling-) save her belly.

ME : W-what does that suppose to mean? Is she...?

Dr. SHIN : No, no, she is fine. But, she has gone to a Coma and we are hoping it's temporary. Besides, in easy words, since there was a few brain damages, she might have a chance to develop a Post-traumatic amnesia.

ME : Is that meaning, she would lose her memories?

Dr.SHIN : Well, not everything. A Post-traumatic amnesia mainly refers to the inability of the patient to register the events occurring after the injury. The brain functioning is disoriented and they might find it difficult or impossible to recall their names, what time it is, where they are. Things like that.

ME : I- I see.

Dr.SHIN : But, this is a mere possibility and is something we can tell only after she wakes up. I would advise, please be patient with her and take care.

ME : Deh. Thank you doctor.

I took Mr.Kim to the whole nine yard ride of the Dr. Shin's cabin. He responded with his silence contemplating over the situation. Temples intensified and furrowed eyebrows, analyzing my words as he stared into the space.

ME : (-after a length of silence-) So, we can atleast hope she loses her memory of Taehyung. If not, there aren't scarcity of ways which can turn her into a psychic patient. So, leave it to me. I will do all it takes to prevent her from coming here.

Mr. KIM : (-relieving his facial features-) I will trust you with that, then. But, what about the divorce?

ME : Well, I had a thought on that but, if I don't succeed on getting your son sign them then we will call it off. Afterall, you don't need divorce papers for his dead wife.

He laughed making my work easier as he came to comply with my plan quite in a short time and with less need for persuasion.

Mr . KIM : (-nodding-) I will take care of the hospital and other stuffs. You don't have to worry about that. You can leave with her for America by tonight.

I gave him a smile nod receiving his offer that I was about to ask him of.

ME : Thank you, Mr.Kim.

*Present Time*

I did go to Korea after a month, but I never thought that getting his sign on those papers would be that dead trouble-free. It just gave me a helping hand to make Jae Ra believe that her husband left her.

It was of a great fortune that she didn't remember anything from when she found out that I was after her father's will(legal document) and patrimony. Nothing could be more perfect and fitting in.
