Chapter 112.2

“what?”

“why do you keep making wounds on your body?”

“hmm. i have to be sick because haewon feels sorry for me?”

adam tilted his head in a cute way.

“you’re such a strange personality…….”

li yu-yen muttered with a disgusting look.

“would you rather help me bandage it?”

adam forced li yuyen to put a bandage on his hand. li yuyen sighed and began to bandage the wound.

you’ve disinfected it by yourself, so what else can i help with? soon after, li yuyan realized why adam had to borrow his hand.

the sound of the front door opening was heard, and the sound of urgent footsteps as if being chased grew closer and closer.

it was haewon.

watching the two people, she checked the bloody gauze piled up on the table and froze.

‘blood…’

haewon’s complexion turned pale. that vivid blood color was telling of the tragedy that happened in her absence.

li yuyen glanced at adam.

sure enough, as soon as haewon came, he suddenly turned into a pitiful expression.

“may i, please?”

hae-won finally came to their senses and came to the side of the two. li yu-yen handed hae-won a bandage, suppressing the urge to kick adam.

“i’ll be on my way.”

“yes, thank you for your help.”

adam answered in a dying voice.

li yu-yen rose to his feet, fed up with the perfect performance.

one thing was certain anyway.

hae-won’s visit here now was tantamount to forgiving adam. and that awful man will finally get what he’s been longing for.

li yu-yen, who came out, fled as far as possible from where the two were.

this was because adam’s shady possessiveness and excessive obsession were suffocating.

“…….”

“…….”

only silence remained when li yuyen disappeared.

hae-won wrapped adam’s arm in a bandage. while she was thinking about whether she should get proper help with it, the bandage was wrapped in a plausible shape.

adam’s solid forearms were bandaged, but the outline of his stark muscles was not hidden. it wasn’t just the arms.

his shoulders, hands, height, and everything were so big and strong that she couldn’t be compared to him, but now in haewon’s eyes, adam seemed to be the most vulnerable thing in the world.

“i heard everything from chairman seo.”

hae-won opened her mouth carefully.

“what has happened so far, and what sera did do to you.”

“…….”

adam opened his mouth with difficulty in silence.

“i’m sorry, haewon. i didn’t want to be that hard on you yesterday either. but thinking that you might leave me, i guess something went wrong with my mind.”

the appearance of hesitatingly making excuses and the sad expression made her wonder if he was the man who forced her yesterday.

and this wound was caused by her family.

it was all acting that pretended to be cowardly and brazen. she’s actually more worried about me than anyone else, so…….

“the fact that i couldn’t tell haewon the truth,”

“i know. maybe it was because you didn’t trust me.”

haewon intercepted adam’s words.

adam was perplexed by her unexpected reaction and quickly opened his mouth.

“it’s not because i don’t trust you.”

“did you think that i wouldn’t choose you if the engagement ended? that’s why you’re doing this much for me, exposing yourself to danger.”

when hae-won calmly refuted, adam was speechless. adam began to feel genuinely nervous.

fortunately, he didn’t feel anger in hae-won’s tone, but that was more of a problem.

his plan, to use her anger and betrayal as a source of sympathy, ran into difficulties.

“i’m not blaming adam. it’s my fault for not giving faith.”

haewon lowered her head.

it was all her fault that adam was injured. if she had known that sera had hired a contractor, wouldn’t this terrible situation have been prevented?

“i’ll be honest with you from now on.”

adam grabbed hae-won’s hand.

“huh? haewon, i’m sorry.”

when hae-won didn’t say anything, adam was as anxious as a child. in fact, he was struggling to understand haewon’s inner thoughts.

haewon in front of his eyes could only be grasped in his hand, but everything was hazy like fog. it wouldn’t be strange if she disappeared right away.

“…no, i can’t.”

the ensuing answer also completely missed his expectations.

“what do you mean you can’t?”

“you won’t be able, to be honest with me.”

hae-won shook her head and pushed adam’s hand away.

i’m an omega.

and as long as adam is an alpha, he’ll do this, again and again, to protect me, an omega.

but it wasn’t adam’s fault.

it’s one’s own fault for being weak.

“and we won’t be able to understand each other in the future.”

“haewon?”

adam stared blankly at haewon. he couldn’t keep up with the situation.

“we’d better stop for each other’s sake.”

“…….”

“let’s end it here, us.”
