(Episode 93)
(Emergency Medical Center, Operating Room)
What about Jenny?
She's getting surgery.
How bad is it? Is it serious?
She had cerebral hemorrhage,
and her broken ribs caused her spleen to burst.
Does that mean she's in trouble?
We need to see how the surgery goes.
Why did this even happen?
Tell me. What happened?
She was badly hurt by her birth mother.
What did her birth mother do to her?
My gosh.
Who is that woman? Where is she?
My goodness.
Ji Young.
Where's Jenny? What did the doctor say?
Why did Jenny do such a thing?
- Ji Young. - Ji Young.
Hey.
Jenny jumped in front of a driving car.
- What? - She's badly injured.
She's receiving surgery right now, and we don't know what will happen.
Shouldn't you come see her?
You should come.
You might never get to see her again.
You should come...
before it's too late.
You were right when you said you should've gotten rid of me.
You should never have given birth to me.
Because I'm going to take revenge on you.
You'll soon find out the cost of your mistake.
(Operating Room)
(Hanguk Hospital)
It'd be better for you to just die.
Don't come back.
Doctor, how did the surgery go?
We treated her cerebral hemorrhage,
and her brain pressure's gone back to normal.
We also stitched up her ruptured spleen.
- My gosh, I'm so relieved. - Me too.
- What about her nerves? - She injured her brain,
so we'll need to check once she wakes up.
Doctor, when will she wake up?
I'm not sure about that. We'll need to keep an eye on her.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Jenny.
My gosh, imagine how hurt this little one must've been.
There are so many cold-hearted people.
Why did she even give birth to her in the first place?
Kyung Shin!
Sit down.
You're really unbelievable.
How could you not even check up on your dying child?
How could you do that?
Are you even a human being?
I guess she didn't die seeing that you came here to cause a fuss.
Jenny thought of you as a really good person.
She was thankful because she thought you cared and worried about her.
She told me that she wanted to become successful...
so that her mom could be proud of her.
Do you know how much she wanted to be loved by her mom?
How could you be so cold to your own child like that?
Child?
She's not my child.
Tae Woong's the only child I have.
Tae Woong?
Do you love Tae Woong? Why?
What do you mean why? He's my child.
What does a child even mean to you?
Is it something you love if it benefits you...
and abandon if it becomes a burden?
You abandoned Tae Woong without any hesitation...
when you thought he was a deformed baby.
It was because you didn't think he'd benefit you...
and figured he wouldn't be able to protect you.
A child-parent relationship is like any other human relationship.
If a child is harmful and threatening to a parent,
that relationship turns into an ill-fated relationship.
There are so many people who think of...
their own children or parent as complete enemies.
It's better to live separate lives than to live like that.
No, I can't agree with that.
No matter what happens, every parent should protect their child.
That's what you call a mother.
It doesn't matter if the child was born out of wedlock or is deformed.
A mother's job is to jump into a fire pit and save her child...
even if it means she might end up burning to death.
Don't force me to love her.
If I didn't raise her, so she's not mine.
I have no love for that kid whatsoever.
She loved you.
Even when you spread bad rumors about her online...
just so you could destroy her life,
she was willing to go study abroad so that she could protect you.
All she ever wanted from you was for you to be...
warm toward her. But how could you...
How could you say something like that?
Don't you even feel sorry toward Jenny?
Can you stop acting all high and noble? It's disgusting.
The world isn't as romantic and pure as you think it is.
It's all about making the right deals...
which means a child also needs to give what the parent wants.
You're seriously incorrigible.
The smallest amount of affection and pity I had for you...
are all gone as of today.
Back when you apologized, I thought you were being sincere...
and was willing to accept you as my sister-in-law.
But I feel like a fool to have made that effort.
I didn't know you were such a lowly person.
What a saint.
You better not tell anyone about my weakness.
I want you to stay quiet.
And why should I do that?
For whom?
I want to go outside right now and tell Hyun Joon everything.
Really?
If your goal is to make me get a divorce...
get and make Tae Woong grow up without a mom,
then go ahead.
Look at you using Tae Woong again.
Do you always use Tae Woong to get out of trouble?
I'm just letting you know the reality.
It's why Jenny needs to disappear...
and why I need to protect my family.
You better not tell anyone about Jenny.
If you do, you'll be responsible for having destroyed our family.
You'll be a mean and cheap person...
who uses someone's weakness against them.
I feel sorry for Tae Woong...
that you're his mom.
I'm Tae Woong's mom! I love Tae Woong!
That's a fact that will never change!
Do you understand?
Ji Young.
Sang Hyuk told me what happened.
I heard Jenny's severely injured.
- Yes. - How did that happen?
But what brings you here?
I just ran into Ji Young.
Did you hear about Jenny's injury?
She jumped into a driving car. Why did she do that?
She must've been stressed.
I think she was pressured about going abroad.
What? She tried to kill herself just because of that?
I know, right?
What did you say to her to make her do such a thing?
- I didn't say much. - Then why did she do that?
I was only trying to help her out.
This is bad.
I hear she's still unconscious.
Gosh, I hope nothing bad happens to her.
Let's go home.
I'm going to go home first.
Give it back.
You're going to drive? I'll drive for you.
Give that back, and go home on your own.
Why do you keep avoiding me?
Is it because I told you that I wanted to marry you?
I think you keep pushing it because I let you.
Your baby will be born soon.
It'll need a father to be its guardian...
and register its birth.
You know what? I should really make myself clear.
I'm not going to get married.
Then who's going to run around and have fun with the baby?
Me.
You hate running. Plus, you can't even run properly.
Can you hold the baby and give it a spin?
Can you give it an airplane ride?
Kids love that, you know.
I can take the baby to a daycare center.
The teachers there will do that for me.
It's not the same as frequently playing with the baby at home.
And when the baby goes to kindergarten,
all the other dads will come when they need to.
My dad can attend those events.
What if he's too busy?
Plus, all the other dads will be young and well-built.
The baby won't want an old grandpa there.
And who's going to take care of the baby when you're busy or sick?
I have my parents.
And I'm going to hire a nanny.
Your parents won't be able to take care of the baby once they grow old.
And nannies also have their own private lives.
What if the nanny's suddenly busy?
There are a lot of dads who don't help out with childcare.
Guys who are dishonest and irresponsible.
But there are also lots of devoted guys who love their kids.
How jealous would your baby feel if a kid with a dad like that...
suddenly starts boasting about his or her dad?
What are you going to say if your kid comes home crying...
and asks why he or she doesn't have a dad?
I'm going to explain that I didn't trust the marriage system...
and ask him or her to understand.
It might be hard to understand at a young age,
but I'm sure my kid will eventually come around.
But the baby will already get hurt at a young age.
Do you disregard how much of a shock it'll be when the child's young...
because your child will eventually come around in the future?
Are you going to force your child to understand?
I'll raise my child into a strong person just like me.
Every child has at least one thing they lack in life.
Either they're financially poor or come from a broken home.
- Or their parents got divorced. - "Every child"?
You're just generalizing everything.
There are a lot of kids who grow up with a normal family like us.
We didn't have any problems growing up. Don't you agree?
Hye Rim.
I'm sorry.
You know what? You're right.
I can't refute to what you said.
Are you happy that you poked my weakness now?
I know you're strong.
And like you said, I know you'll raise your kid just as strong.
But there are still a lot of things that women can't do on their own...
and can do better with a man's help.
I just hope you wouldn't deny that, you fool.
It's convincing, but I can't agree with you 100 percent.
Because of all those things you said,
I once caused a huge mess in Sang Hyuk's life.
And that's when I realized...
that it wasn't the kind of life I wanted.
It made me remember all the things I hated about marriage.
That's why I don't want to get married.
So please just leave me be and live your own life.
Nothing will change even if you stay beside me.
I'm not going to marry you.
There's an article about Jenny.
"Jenny attempts suicide after her past gets revealed."
"She jumped onto a driving car and is unconscious in the ICU."
I feel so sorry for her. She must've been so stressed.
There are also a few articles that show her some sympathy.
"She was never a bad kid."
"The press wrongfully framed her..."
"just because she grew up at an orphanage."
There are even some interviews done by kids from the same orphanage.
"Jenny was a good friend."
"She only left the orphanage because she wanted to find her parents."
What's the use of writing those kind of articles at this point?
The press already ruined her life by framing her all at once.
Exactly. They would've continued to criticize her if this didn't happen.
I'll go home now.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
See you.
How's Jenny doing?
She hasn't woken up yet.
Jenny's mother is so awful.
I wonder what she did to her.
I thought all mothers loved their children...
unconditionally.
How could anyone not love the child they gave birth to?
But I guess there are people who think differently.
That's why some people become criminals because of their parents.
I heard mothers are fairies sent from the skies...
because they can't be with every single child.
My heart aches every time I think about Jenny.
How nice would the world be if people were all like you?
Hey, Mom.
Hey, I heard Jenny jumped in front of a driving car and got injured.
It's all over the internet.
Yes.
Why did that little kid do such a thing?
Is it because of all the rumors that spread on the internet...
saying she's from the orphanage and used to steal things?
She met her birth mother,
but her mother must've said some mean stuff.
It was because her birth mother said some mean stuff to her.
Really?
What did her birth mother do to her?
I don't know.
But Jenny must've been really hurt for her to do something like this.
My gosh, what a complete wench.
She already did enough by abandoning her own child.
But she even had the guts to be mean to her?
There are so many bad women in this world.
Who in the world is her birth mother?
- What? - What did he say?
He doesn't know.
Okay, bye.
I hope she gets better soon.
- Kyung Shin. - Yes?
Why are you so startled?
No, it's nothing. What were you going to say?
I feel sorry for the kid,
but people who are suicidal are too dangerous to hang around with.
Make sure Tae Woong never hangs out with her again.
Yes, of course. He should never be near someone like her.
Why would you say something like that?
She's injured right now.
But the baby will already get hurt at a young age.
Do you disregard how much of a shock it'll be when the child's young...
because your child will eventually come around in the future?
Are you going to force your child to understand?
Jenny.
Jenny, are you awake now? Can you see us?
Jenny, can you see us?
Don't you know who we are?
Really? Jenny woke up?
Jenny woke up.
She's recovered a lot, so they're going to move her to a general ward.
- That's great. - Really?
What?
What is it?
She's awake, but she can't recognize anyone yet.
She just has her eyes open.
My gosh, do you think she lost her memory?
My goodness, maybe that's what it is.
My gosh, what are we going to do?
She's awake but doesn't have her memory?
Okay, bye.
I'm sure it'll slowly come back.
She's a kid, so she'll recover quickly.
If she moves to a general ward, I should go take care of her.
I mean, you could do that. But wouldn't that be tiring?
Not at all.
I've done things that are much more tiring than this.
I need to go see her too.
You should go.
But I'm the only one working in the kitchen.
Oh, right. There's a system where the head office...
sends us a chef for a short time for situations like this.
It's called the Chef Support System.
The come when you want them to and cook for you.
We can apply for that.
Really? That's great.
- Yes, that's great. - This franchise is really nice.
Jenny has woken up.
I just got a call from the hospital.
She woke up?
Yes, but she isn't fully conscious yet.
She can't recognize anyone.
Okay, you can go now.
It'd be great if her mom comes.
She might actually remember something if she sees her mom.
I already called her.
I told her she should come just in case the surgery doesn't go well.
I went and talked to her because I thought...
Jenny would do better if she came running to the hospital.
How did you know her mom's phone number?
Jenny told me.
Oh, I see. What did she say? Did she refuse to come?
Should I meet her myself?
There's no need. She was very cold.
- Jenny. - Mom.
- Eun Chae. - Hello, Mother.
- Hi. - Hello.
My gosh, I can't believe she's in this state.
I came to take care of her.
I'll stay here today. You guys can go to work now.
Really? Will that be okay?
We were going to hire someone to take care of her.
She's our family now. Why bother make someone else take care of her?
Plus, I have nothing to do.
Just a second.
Hey, Hyun Joon.
I think it'll do well.
Hey, Sang Hyuk. Over here.
- You got here early. - Yes.
You too, Ms. Jang.
We met a little early because we had something to talk about.
- I see. - Did you eat dinner?
Here. Drink some wine.
Dad recently signed a contract with a winery in France.
This was imported from there.
But dad always drinks soju...
as he sings "Father's Youth".
It's really nice as an investor...
to see that you two are such close brothers.
Hyun Joon is like a father and a mother to me.
He always cared for me back when I was young.
But now, you're the one who's helping me out.
You're a competent CEO who's in charge of our company's...
future growth.
That's why I wanted to meet you guys today.
Chairman Gingrich wishes to make Lotieler...
into a global brand.
That's incredible.
Then what are the conditions?
Lotieler will use their know-how on the advanced shopping system...
and use that to start businesses abroad.
And we'll make money off of our investment.
Does that mean Lotieler will only be receiving royalties?
I want to start a business by signing a partnership...
with the department store in each country.
You really don't disappoint.
Chairman Gingrich predicted that you'll make this kind of offer...
and told me to go ahead with it.
Okay, then. I'll think about it positively.
Look at how cooperative you guys are with each other.
I guess I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Who were you with?
You Jin wanted to meet me and Sang Hyuk.
Jang You Jin? You seem to meet her quite often these days.
Is she married?
What does her husband do?
She got divorced.
Really?
But why did she want to see you again?
She wanted to talk about building foreign branches for Lotieler.
My concern is becoming a reality.
At this rate, Lotieler will become the biggest business in our group.
Why is that a concern?
If Sang Hyuk succeeds, it'll be good for us as well.
We also invested 50 percent.
Imagine how it would've been if we invested 100 percent.
All the profit would be ours.
So do you think you would've been able to succeed?
Of course.
I was going to build the most luxurious department store...
in our country.
You're too persistent with your old-fashioned ways.
You pressure subcontractors and abuse your power.
On the other hand, Sang Hyuk succeeded by being innovative.
Innovation against old-fashioned. Who do you think will win?
Okay, Mom. How's Jenny doing?
Okay, thank you for taking care of her.
I'll see you later.
It's Ji Young.
Hello?
Yes, did you sleep well? Is everything okay?
How's Jenny doing?
Is she doing better?
You guys must be really worried.
Okay, bye.
Sang Hyuk told me about it yesterday.
I'm so worried.
She must've found her birth mother and went to meet her.
But I guess her birth mother treated her very coldly.
So she got shocked and jumped in front of a driving car.
How about we go to the hospital to visit her today?
Us?
Why bother?
She used to model for our company.
And Sang Hyuk's her legal guardian. We should go check up on her.
I'm busy.
I'll send my assistant over.
You shouldn't be like that.
You're the adult here,
so you should go check up on her for Sang Hyuk's sake.
He's right. You shouldn't be too cold-hearted to an acquaintance.
What? She tried to kill herself?
How dare you call me like this?
Ms. Choi. I mean, CEO Choi.
Do you know that Jenny tried to kill herself?
Yes.
Why did she do that?
Was it because of me? Because of what I uploaded on the internet?
It's none of your business.
Don't ever talk about that, and stay quiet.
Gosh, you need to wake up soon.
Everyone's worried about you.
Hey, what do you want?
Ms. Jo, you know Jenny, right?
I heard she almost died.
How do you know Jenny?
What? Of course, I know her.
What happened?
Don't even ask.
The little kid got her feelings hurt. I feel so sorry for her.
Why? Is it because of all the rumors on the internet?
Is that really why she tried to kill herself?
She's an orphan.
And she recently met her birth mother.
But apparently, her birth mother was very mean to her.
Oh, really?
You're taking care of her?
Oh, okay. Bye.
I thought it was because of what I did.
Birth mother?
She's so cold-hearted.
Her daughter's lying in bed, but she doesn't even show up.
My gosh.
Even a complete stranger is worried about her.
I feel so sorry for her.
Come in.
Hey, honey.
Hyun Joon and Kyung Shin are going to come see Jenny.
What?
Why are you so startled?
No, it's nothing.
We should get going as well.
Okay.
Hey, Hyun Joon. Hey, Kyung Shin.
Hey.
How is she doing?
She's not fully conscious yet.
She can't recognize anyone.
Jenny, this must be hard for you.
I hope you hang in there.
Jenny, I was so worried about you.
I hope you quickly recover.
I hope you get better soon.
Mom.
(I am also Mother)
You're so hateful.
I didn't know my biological mom would be so terrible.
You're a very bad kid.
I'm your daughter. I guess I take after you.
Is it a good thing...
or a bad thing for you that Jenny didn't die?
Jenny's nearby.
She wants to see you. Should I ask her to come?
