The Lee Family's Second Son-in-law

Between Grief and Happiness (2)

"Mother!" Mi Ran's melodious voice made celia instantly turn towards the source of the voice.

"Mi Ran?" Celia is quite surprised to see the arrival of Mi Ran and Jae Joong.

Celia looked at Jae Joong. Unkindly the man said that Mi Ran wanted to come to the funeral home.

"Mothers... Is it true that Grandma is dead?"

Mi Ran's question made Celia again shed her tears. He nodded slowly then hugged Mi Ran. Both of them finally dissolved in tears. Neither Jae Joong nor Joon had any intention of breaking them up. Let them share their grief with each other.

In a different place, Hye Ri had just woken up from her long slumber. Hye Ri grabbed her phone and saw that it was now eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

"You awake?" reprimand Hye Mi.

Hye Ri just nodded. Last night he could not sleep because he thought about what he had done. Even the shadow of Sang Mi who is dying is still recorded clearly greeting her memory.

"Have you been to the funeral home?" ask Hye Ri.

Hye Mi simply replied with a nod. "Hurry and clean your body and leave! What if your husband is looking for you? What are you gonna tell him?"

Hye Ri gave a lazy look at her mother. "Yes yes, I know. This time will you help me?" hye Ri asked expectantly.

Hye Mi turned her face away. "I don't know how I should. You're my daughter, and I can't ignore that."

Hye Ri smiled. "Thank you, Mother..."

"Don't thank me. After this, promise me to live well. Don't take care of Eun Chae's life anymore. Let her be happy with that guy. Youunderstand?"

Not wanting to argue anymore, Hye Ri finally nodded her head.

Three days have passed since Sang Mi's death. Celia seemed to have no spirit in her life. Luckily, Kang Joon was always with her.

Even Byung Man asked where his second son had gone who never returned home.

"Cellia's mother just died. Kang Joon accompanies Celia at her house" said Ae Gyo.

Byung Man just nodded and did not answer.

"My husband, shouldn't we say condolences to Celia?" the Ae Gyo.

Byung Man stared at his wife. I don't like it when it comes to Celia. Byung Man left Ae Gyo alone in the living room.

"God! What's wrong with her? Did she hate that woman so much that she thickened the humanity in her heart?" ae Gyo's.

"At least I should call Kang Joon and talk to Celia. Celia is, after all, the daughter-in-law of this family." Ae Gyo immediately grabbed her phone and contacted Kang Joon.

Meanwhile, Hye Ri accidentally sells her old car and replaces it with a new car. Hye Ri doesn't want anyone to know about the crimes she's committed.

When Kang Moon found out, Hye Ri only reasoned that she was tired of her old car. Of course Kang Moon did not like the extravagant attitude Hye Ri had.

It was not Hye Ri by name if she had to care about what her husband's family said. He was even ordinary in front of everyone. It was as if he had not sinned by having lost one life.

Unlike Hye Ri who seems relaxed after the incident of Sang Mi's accident, Jae Joong is even confused because of the tracking device he put in Hye Ri's car, which is a car, stop at one point and do not move to any place.

"That's weird! It was impossible for Hye Ri to not go anywhere for a few days. Doesn't he have to work?" muttered Jae Joong on the sidelines of his leisure time.

After the ultimatum that was aired by Kang Moon at that time, Jae Joong now can not play around anymore. It is a very good opportunity to work in the Lee Ni Group because he can get close to Hye Ri without being suspected by others. Jae Joong still has a premonition that his son is still alive and that Hye Ri is deliberately hiding him somewhere.

Returning home from work, Jae Joong, who is still curious about the whereabouts of Hye Ri's car, immediately heads to the point where the car is located. Jae Joong is confused because he arrives at a used car sales showroom.

"Excuse me," Jae Joong said as he looked at a man in a puddle sitting behind the reception desk.

"Yes, can I help you?" The man warmly welcomes Jae Joong's arrival.

Jae Joong told me his intention of going to the car showroom. He was looking for a car that Hye Ri sold. Even Jae Joong showed the man a picture of Hye Ri.

"Ah, that car? It's right over there. Come, Master!" The man takes Jae Joong to Hye Ri's car.

"The woman said she sold her car out of boredom. He wants to change cars. But, why do you want to see this car?"

"There's nothing. If I may, I'd like to see clearly this car. Who knows I intend to buy it" Jae Joong said casually.

The fat man left Jae Joong so he could more freely judge the car before buying it. With sprightliness, Jae Joong directly researched the part of the car that belonged to Hye Ri.

"I'm sure there's something she's hiding" Jae Joong murmured.

Once you see the front of the car that looks dented, making Jae Joong assume that Hye Ri just had an accident.

"What's this?" There was a drop of blood stuck to the front hood of the car.

Jae Joong glanced perfectly. "Don't don't..."

Jae Joong starts to combine his memories when he sees Hye Mi who comes to Sang Mi's funeral. Jae Joong grabs her phone and asks someone to find information about Hye Ri's family.

"Let me know as soon as you find something." Jae Joong ended his call.

Celia is still slumped because of the loss of Sang Mi. Celia even ignored Mi Ran who since childhood was trained to take care of herself.

Sang Mi's words make Celia reluctant to take care of Mi Ran. Celia kept wondering about the sentence that Sang Mi said before leaving.

If only Celia had followed Sang Mi's advice. If only Celia would tell Kang Joon the truth. If only and if only it kept ringing in Celia's ears.

Mi Ran who saw her mother was still in mourning, did not dare to approach Celia in the slightest. Mi Ran prepared all her own needs.

As of this moment, Mi Ran had just prepared a meal for her to bring to school. Mi Ran is used to being without Celia in living her days. So, it doesn't matter to him right now.

Mi Ran walked out of the house with shaky steps. Until at a crossroads, Mi Ran meets Jae Joong who feels sorry for her.

"Mi Ran, are you going to school?" ask Jae Joong.

Mi Ran only nodded weakly.

"Uncle to school huh?"

Mi Ran shook his head weakly. "No need, Uncle."

"But your face is very pale. Comeing! Uncle will drive you!"

Just now that Mi Ran had stepped back, Mi Ran's tiny body fell down and was unconscious.

"Mi Ran's! Mi Ran, wake up!" Jae Joong patted Mi Ran's cheek gently. His face was already deathly pale, making Jae Joong panic.

Jae Joong decides to take Mi Ran to a nearby hospital along with Celia. Celia who just realized if she was wrong because she had ignored Mi Ran, now can only curse herself.

"I'm sorry, Mi Ran. Forgive mom..."

Celia is again waiting in front of the ER room along with Jae Joong. Again this situation Celia had to face. Only a few days ago his mother died in this hospital, now his daughter also fell unconscious.

Celia and Jae Joong quickly stood up when a doctor approached them.

"Madam, Mi Ran's condition is already concerning. Better get him in the big hospital downtown."

Celia looks at each other with Jae Joong.

"All right! We'll transfer Mi Ran to the hospital downtown." Not that Celia answered, but instead Jae Joong who looks excited.

The doctor nodded in understanding and immediately prepared the transfer of patients using an ambulance.

Jae Joong patted Celia's shoulder slowly.

"Celia, toughen up! We're going downtown. You call Mr. Kang Joon to update him."

Celia could only nod her head in resignation. In the midst of grief that is still enveloping, there is a piece of happiness that appears like an oasis in the desert. Celia is very grateful to know a good person like Jae Joong.
