Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 171: Strange

Eun-sun hissed for the millionth time when she looked at the time. It’s been hours since she and Dan-Han fought and he angrily left, and she has been feeling weird since then. Though she was still very much angry at him she somewhat felt bad for saying those things to him and for sounding so rude to him. But most importantly she was feeling hungry. It was dark outside and she hasn’t had dinner. Her stomach was rumbling badly.

She looked at her phone as she contemplated calling him.

‘So this was how he was going to treat her if they finally start dating? He’d leave her for long hours and not call to check up on her when he knows she was sick? So much for preaching love!’ She humphed in her mind and continued looking outside the window.

Her head snapped to the door when she heard a knock on the door. She felt her heart skip as she anxiously waited for the person to step in.

‘It had got to be him’

“Hello, Ms Park.” A nurse greeted her with a bow when she stepped into the room. Eun-sun frowned when she saw who had walked into the room. The nurse couldn’t help but notice the disappointed look on her face, making her smile. ‘Lover’s quarrel. No wonder he had made such preparations’ She thought to herself.

“Hello” Eun-sun greeted with a bow, shooting her a quizzical look, wondering why she was here. Her eyes flew to the nurse’ hands to observe if she had come with a pill. She didn’t want any pill and if anyone dares to force her to, she might just transfer her aggression to that person.

.....

“Ms Park, doctor Jae-Hyun had asked me to bring you.” The nurse told her. Eun-sun lifted her brows at her.

“Doctor Jae-Hyun?” She asked. She knew him but why was he asking for her now. It was late.

She knew she wasn’t supposed to ask such a question since she was in a hospital and the doctor requesting to see her shouldn’t be awkward, but wasn’t he supposed to come to see the patient in the room?

“Why? Is something wrong?” She curiously inquired.

The nurse shrugged as she answered, “I don’t know.”

“Does he want to do another test?” She asked again. Haven’t they done all the necessary tests? Or was something wrong with the results of the one she had earlier done? Dan-Han had made Jae-Hyun carry out series of tests on her, saying they should check out for any side effects or adverse effects of the drug on her.

“I don’t know. But please come with me.” The nurse replied in a polite tone. ‘She’s a curious one’.

Left with no choice Eun-sun replied, “Okay.” She stepped down from the bed and followed the nurse out.

A plethora of thoughts was going through her head as she followed the nurse to wherever doctor Jae-Hyun was. The thought of Dan-Han being the one who had requested for her came to her mind, but that thought didn’t last more than a second. Knowing the kind of person Dan-Han was, he would never allow her to walk. He’d never let go of an opportunity to hold her or carry her, which was what he has been doing since she woke up this morning, at least until they quarrelled.

He might have been so angry he didn’t want to see her face. She has been too brash with her words. She didn’t know why, but the thought of Dan-Han not seeing made her uncomfortable.

Maybe she shouldn’t have spoken to him like that in the first place. This temper of hers was really an issue. She really has to work on it.

“Ms Park this way,” The nurse said as she began to lead her to the West Wing of the hospital. Eun-sun furrowed her brows when she noticed where they were headed. She has been here before.

Dan-Han had brought her to this side of the hospital this afternoon. Now she was sure it was Dan-Han who had asked the nurse to bring her. Okay, she wasn’t a hundred per cent sure, but she had a feeling he was the one, or maybe she was hoping he was the one.

Eun-sun didn’t bother the nurse by asking her another question. All her questions will be answered when they got to their destination, she just had to be patient. She took a deep breath to calm herself as she followed the nurse.

She frowned when they walked into the garden, which at this time was empty and dark. Unlike the other part of the hospital, it was the only part of the hospital, it was the only dark place and only the half-crescent moonlight illuminated the place, and that was awkward.

“There,” The nurse pointed, nudging her to go forward. Eun-sun looked at her and took a few steps forward. With each step, she took she felt like she was stepping on something fluffy. It was everywhere, and she was more than sure whatever she was stepping wasn’t been here this afternoon.

She turned to look at the nurse but she was no longer there. Eun-sun frowned at that realization.

‘Where did she go?’ She asked herself.

She looked around but there was nobody there, and she could barely see anything. She didn’t like this at all. This was a hospital, so what sort of joke was this?

“Doctor Jae-Hyun?” She called in a low voice but there was no response. She pursed her lip and thought for a while before calling his name, “Mr Lee?” but there was still no response.

Her brow creased with annoyance. She hissed and turned around to leave. That nurse had better not appear before her or else she was going to kill her. And how could she be foolish to follow anyone out there? What if it was a trap and kidnappers were lying in wait for her?

She reprimanded herself. She was never going to be so careless again

Eun-sun had only taken a few steps, heading towards the door when the lights suddenly came on.

That was strange.
