Chapter 476: Chapter 476

Yong-Gun stood completely transfixed as he stared at Ki-Jun.

His eyes were laced with horror as he was yet to comprehend what was happening.

Ki-Jun was alive and well, and not in a comma.

He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t tell where or when his plan had gone wrong.

“Why?” Ki-Jun asked, snapping Yong-Gun out of his perplexed state, and the man raised his cold gaze to him.

Yong-Gun scoffed. “Why?” He asked rhetorically.

“Yes, why?” Ki-Jun asked back. He was still in shock that Yong-Gun could do something like this. Had someone said this to him, he’d never had believed, rather he’d had fought him to the death, because Yong-Gun was supposed to be his brother. He was supposed to be looking after him same way he looked after him and ensured he had everything he needed especially since his decision not to marry and have any family of his own.

.....

He awaited Yong-Gun’s response whatever it might be, because he needed something to understand why he would ever want to kill him and cause him harm by taking his child away from him who he was also planning to kill.

“I’m sure you had a reason.” Ki-Jun told him matter of factly.

“There’s no need talking about it with you.” Yong-Gun coldly replied, stunning Ki-Jun who looked at him with astonishment.

No need?

“No need, Yong-Gun?” Ki-Jun asked in anger as he tried to stand up from the bed, but Dan-Han held him back.

“You don’t want to move, uncle. You’ve had two surgeries.” Dan-Han told him, but Ki-Jun didn’t think he could stay still.

His eyes burned with anger as they kept staring at Yong-Gun. “You almost killed me, and you think I don’t deserve an explanation. In what way have I wronged you? I gave you things you didn’t deserve because I saw you as a brother, and you do this?” He dare tells him he didn’t deserve an explanation?

Yong-Gun lips twitched with fury as Ki-Jun’s words looped in his head. Things he didn’t deserves?

He clenched and unclenched his hand. “You should listen to the boy. We’ll deal with this men, and since everything is already out, I don’t have to work in the shadows anymore.”

Ki-Jun’s eyes blared with anger. If he wasn’t feeling weak, he’d have lunged at Yong-Gun. He wasn’t feeling remorseful after been discovered.

Dan-Han placed a hand on Ki-Jun’s shoulder and held him back to the head when it seemed like he was about to leap out of the bed and after Yong-Gun. The man has always been an emotional person, and when he was angry, he was angry, same way as when he was being nice.

Like his daughter, he wore his heart on his sleeves.

Dan-Han stared at Yong-Gun. “You should leave, and we’ll deal with this the way you want it.”

Ki-Jun snapped his head towards Dan-Han. “What are you doing? He isn’t leaving.” He turned to Yong-Gun. “You aren’t leaving.” He drawled.

“Aunt Sena is in the emergency room, and she’d be here as soon as she regains consciousness.” Dan-Han told him, knowing that would get his attention, and indeed it worked.

Ki-Jun swiveled his head back to him. “What happened to Sena?” He asked with shock-surprise.

“She passed out a while ago, but she’s fine. Let’s him go for now and we’ll handle this later. He isn’t getting away. I’ll make sure of it.” Dan-Han assured him, but Ki-Jun was hesitant on doing that.

Ki-Jun turned to face Yong-Gun. “I’m going to for my answers, and I’m going to make you pay, Yong-Gun. For my child, for the pain you put Sena and I through. For everything you’ve done to me that I’m not aware of.” Ki-Jun swore.

“I’ll be looking forward to it.” Yong-Gun replied. “And I’ll be taking back my daughter.” He added and Ki-Jun scowled.

What daughter? What nonsense was he talking about?

“What are you talking about?” Ki-Jun questioned.

Yong-Gun tipped his chin at Dan-Han. “You can ask him.” He said and turned around.

“Yong-Gun!” Ki-Jun called after him. His forehead creased at the pain that surged through him from his head, but he ignored the pain, as he yelled the man’s name one more time.

“Yong-Gun!” He called, but the man didn’t stop. It was only after he got to the door did he stop and look at Dan-Han, but he turned around and walked away without saying anything to him, but Dan-Han had caught the silent threat in his eyes.

“What was he talking about? What daughter was that bastard referring to?” Ki-Jun urgently questioned, making Dan-Han sigh.

“Uncle, I don’t think this is the time for you to get into this. What mattered was you knowing who was responsible for all this.”

“I don’t care what time it is, or what the time’s for. I want to know what he meant by he’s going to take his daughter back from me. What daughter is he talking about?” Ki-Jun questioned with a slight pant.

Dan-Han noticed the sweat beading on his forehead and he knew it was because of the stress he was inserting on himself immediately after waking up. And he also knew Ki-Jun wouldn’t let him be till he got his answers from him.

Dan-Han wearily sighed.

He pinched his brows and sighed again. He dipped his hand in his pocket as he stared at the man who was about to bore a whole into his head.

“He’s talking about, Mi-Cha.”

“Mi-Cha,” Ki-Jun muttered with incredulity “Mi-Cha?” He asked with confusedly.

“Yes.” Dan-Han confirmed. “Mi-Cha is Yong-Gun’s child.” Dan-Han told him, but his eyes instantly snapped to the door when he heard the last voice he wanted to hear at the moment.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Ki-Jun swiveled his head towards the door when he heard Mi-Cha’s voice. His eyes widened when he saw her sharply staring at Dan-Han.

“What were you just saying?” Mi-Cha questioned as she stepped into the room, leaving Eun-sun who stood rooted at the door.

“President Lee, you were saying?” She pressed.

“Honey, come here. He wasn’t saying anything about you.” Ki-Jun told her, but Mi-Cha shook her head.

She had heard him clearly, so they couldn’t trick her like she was some child.

“Whose child am I?” She demanded, her sharp gaze still fixed on Dan-Han.

“Mi-Cha-” Ki-Jun called, but Mi-Cha shook her head.

“How am I his child? He’s my uncle.” She told him, Incase he had missed something important.

Dan-Han sighed before giving a terse nod. “I know he is.”

“So what are you saying?” Mi-Cha questioned, not understanding what he was saying.

She was aware she was adopted but she didn’t see as she was her adoptive uncle’s child. What sort of scheme was this.

“Mi-Cha it would be better if you-”

“Is the one we’ve been looking for? Is he....is he the culprit who did all this?” Mi-Cha suddenly asked surprising Ki-Jun, who reacted with a frown, but Dan-Han maintained the stoic look on his face, which was silent admittance to her question.

“Mi-Cha, do not assume things!” Ki-Jun told her, making Mi-Cha glance at him.

“Assume?” She arched a brow at him. “Dad, tell me I’m assuming things. Tell I didn’t just make sense? Tell me-” She trailed off and scoffed, before turning around to face Eun-sun, who had a guilty look that confirmed everything in her head.

“You knew about it, didn’t you?” She asked.

“I-” Eun-sun stuttered.

“I asked you if you knew who the culprit was and the moment you opened your mouth, I knew you were lying. I also asked if you were hiding anything from me, but what did you say?” Mi-Cha mirthlessly chuckled.

“I already accepted you as my sister, but you saw me at the daughter of what? The villain? I must have been the daughter of the man who took you away from your parents and gave it to his daughter who must be as evil as him.”

“That’s not true, Mi-Cha. You don’t have a clear picture of things yet.”

“Don’t I?” Mi-Cha asked, desperately trying to hold back the emotions twirling in her. “Because all I see right here, is that I’ve been lied to by the people I’ve been trusting my life with in the last few hours even though I knew nothing about them.”

“Mi-Cha, Eun-sun is right. Things are not the way the way they seem to be now. You and Eun-sun are victims here.” Dan-Han told her.

“Then make me understand.” She coldly demanded. She needed them to tell her that, she was wrong that it wasn’t Yong-Gun who was supposed to be her uncle, that was responsible for all the things that has been happening or the things that her family had suffered.

And he had adopted his own child to his brother. She needed Dan-Han to tell her that.

“It’s true that-”

“Shut up.” Ki-Jun snapped at Dan-Han, who met his cold eyes. “Just shut up.” He drawled before staring at Mi-Cha, who dryly chuckled.

“Honey, don’t listen or believe any nonsense you think you’ve heard. Dan-Han is emotionally deficient except to your sister. Don’t listen to anything. You’re my child. Mine and your mom’s, and nothing has changed. Absolutely nothing.” He calmly told her, even though he could feel the panic in his heart.

Mi-Cha felt her fingers quiver as tears slowly began to sting her eyes. She couldn’t explain it, but something was happening to her and she needed to get out of there.

“I... I’m happy you’re awake, but I can’t stay. I need some space.”

“Mi-Cha,” Ki-Jun called with a warning tone, but the girl was already dashing towards the door.

“I’m going to kill that illegitimate bastard!” Ki-Jun swore under his breath.
