(Episode 65)
This means Sol's maternal grandmother is out there.
Why don't you try contacting Min Young's birth mother?
This lady had a fabric store in Unheng-dong where you lived.
She seems to be in touch with Min Young's mother.
Go and see her.
Min Young's birth mother is different from mine?
Hello, ma'am.
Do you remember me? It's Nam Tae Hyung.
The fabric store lady...
and Min Young's mother were in touch.
Not as much recently, but still.
If you know where she lives, you can visit her.
If she knew Min Young had a daughter,
I don't think she'd ignore her.
How are the results, doctor?
Things don't look too good.
Her bilirubin count keeps going up,
and the liver function test result is 200 and 80, quite high.
A liver transplant is the only option.
Luckily for her, your wife is on the donor list.
Did she not come with you today?
Well, no.
Tae Hee is gutsier than I thought.
How could she think she wouldn't get caught?
Wouldn't someone notice during the healing stage after the transplant?
But then, I bet she only cared about the actual transplant.
"What could Ji Hwan do then, after the surgery has been done?"
That was her logic.
You saved them massively.
We don't know when Sol will get her turn.
Is it a long wait?
Yes.
We couldn't have allowed a stand-in to donate either.
No. There are so many kids like Sol.
That's not right.
Ju Hong.
I heard the news.
Is the worst over?
We're watching her condition.
Then let's go home. I came to get you.
- What? - She's admitted, and that's that.
I don't think you have to be on standby too.
Sol's very sick.
I know. That's why she had to take an ambulance over.
Her chance of a transplant just fell through.
I heard.
You exposed Tae Hee in a dramatic fashion.
Let's talk on the way home.
What did you say your name is?
- It's Heo Jin Ho. - Heo Jin Ho.
Next time we meet, let's say hi at least.
Let's go.
I have to go.
If Sol's condition worsens, call me.
I got it, so look after yourself.
She must really not want to go home.
Did you go all the way to the hospital to pick up your dear wife?
It's late. We'll go upstairs.
Not before we wrap things up.
You brought over the stand-in...
and put on a show for the family to expose your sister-in-law.
Are you happy now?
I apologize if I was too aggressive.
No. Don't apologize.
Like I said, we now have a reason to get Tae Hee divorced.
You have no idea how pleased I am.
I could wish for nothing more if you would leave as well.
- Mother? - Human beings...
need to listen if they're to change.
Who knows? If you keep listening,
you might end up leaving too.
The person you have reached is not available.
How is Sol? Is she very sick?
I'm really worried. Will you please pick up?
He won't...
refuse to see me again, will he?
Will he take Sol and move out?
How dare you come back here?
What do you think you're doing?
You do that to me and show yourself again?
Nam Tae Hee.
I won't let you off for this. I won't forgive you.
You're the one in the wrong.
As if! You ruined everything!
Should I have turned a blind eye, then?
And let you get arrested?
If Ji Hwan and I break up over this,
I will kill you.
Why did you go and do that for him?
- He's my everything! - Pull yourself together, you brat!
You pull yourself together!
Take her and move out!
Stop it right now.
Leave yourself unless you want to get torn apart.
I warned you.
Why didn't you tell me first if you knew about something like that?
There was no time for that.
It's good that it got sorted out fast,
but things snowballed.
I did what I did to stop it from getting any worse.
The thing is, I sense an ulterior motive.
What does that mean?
You saw a chance to get back at Tae Hee and you took it.
Because she's the person who caused my dad's accident?
It's true that you and Tae Hee go way back.
And when you got a call about Sol being sick,
you rushed to the hospital with Ji Hwan...
What are you saying?
It's true that angered Tae Hee even more.
Sol was sick.
The worst she'd ever been.
Are you saying I used Sol just to make Tae Hee angry?
If you were that worried for the kid,
wouldn't ignoring what Tae Hee was doing...
be the right thing to do?
- So she could've gotten the liver? - What?
That Ji Hwan should call Min Young's mother...
to find Sol's grandmother.
Why did you even tell him such nonsense?
Were you spying on us?
I heard because I was within earshot.
What's the problem with looking for a donor for Sol?
You married me,
but your life still revolves around Ji Hwan.
How can I not think so?
Is that it?
That's what you're complaining about?
That's how things are.
I married you and made you mine,
but that didn't heal my aversion for Ji Hwan.
All I can do is hope a doctor will cure it for me.
The person you have reached is not available.
Please try again.
Ji Hwan.
I'd like you to leave.
- Ji Hwan. - I can't stand seeing you right now.
I get that, but we have to talk.
Later when Sol's discharged...
and I had some time to think alone.
What for? What do you need to think about?
Let's talk later.
I'm sorry, Ji Hwan.
I'm sorry to put you through this.
But I really wanted Sol to...
I'll stay at the hospital for a while.
Get home safely.
Ji Hwan.
This means Sol's maternal grandmother is out there.
Min Young's birth mother is different from mine?
Let it go, Ji Hwan.
Stop being a nuisance.
Excuse me. Where is Yetnal Cloth and Clothes?
Cloth and clothes?
It's in that alley over there,
but they packed and left early this morning.
- What? They packed and left? - Yes.
(Yetnal Cloth and Clothes)
They don't do business anymore.
Did they move somewhere else?
No. I heard the lady moved to her hometown.
Her hometown?
She must've had a lot on her mind when the landlord suddenly sold up.
She closed the store and moved just like that.
Could you give me her phone number?
I really need to meet her.
I don't have her number.
Then if you happen to hear from her,
can you pass her my business card?
There's something I really need to ask her.
I'll do that, though I'm not sure if she'll come back.
Thank you.
Bye.
Hello?
I'm Nam Chan Woo's friend. The restaurant owner.
Oh, hello.
I tracked down a friend who taught night school with Chan Woo.
Would you like to meet him?
Yes, of course I must. Thank you.
You skipped breakfast, so you need to eat more now.
I guess we lost half the family overnight.
Yes. Ju Hong left early as she starts work today.
This is how it should be.
My appetite came back now that the outsiders are gone.
Tae Hee's sick in bed...
and you're eating as if nothing happened?
She'll get over it. She's not a baby.
How unkind were you to her that she ended up like that?
- Father. - Hiring a stand-in...
to get a transplant isn't something a normal person would think of!
Is it my fault again?
You blame me first whenever something happens.
Don't you see Tae Hee's acting out because she craves affection?
She's not worthy of my affection.
Mother?
People are treated accordingly, depending on how they act.
How can you say that about your own daughter?
You keep making me talk like that.
You never think you're responsible for anything.
Did I give her the idea or egg her on?
Why are you so upset with me?
Goodness.
I just don't believe it.
Why are you always trying to fight him?
Is that all you can say when you heard our conversation?
Don't you get what he's doing?
He's defending Tae Hee.
What if he ends up buying her more property?
Why would he do that?
Do you think I'll let him trick me like that again?
Don't upset Grandpa anymore.
He's focusing on me and Tae Hee and no one else,
and I'm grateful for that.
"No one else?"
Who do you mean?
Who?
Thank you for sparing time on your weekend.
It's fine. I'd forgotten my friend for years and...
hearing his name again brought back memories.
She passed away?
That's why he quit teaching...
and cut contact with his friends.
He lived like a recluse for months.
Did you hear if his friend had a child before she died?
I'm not sure. I never heard of that.
If he'd known of a child, he wouldn't have wasted away.
He got married soon after, so I guess there was no child.
I see.
The woman he was seeing died,
and there was no child. That's the story he'll tell.
Did Ji Hwan seem to believe him?
Yes.
The man said he was very disappointed.
The fabric store is closed and the woman's gone,
and all Dad's friends say they know nothing about a woman or child.
He left his kid at the hospital to meet this guy.
Poor Ji Hwan.
Keep an eye on him, though.
He could act out at any turn.
Don't let your guard down.
I won't.
You were scared last night, weren't you?
Yes. It was my first time in an ambulance.
Still, because you stayed calm,
the worst is over.
Why did I get sick all of a sudden?
Your body has an immune system that fights off...
germs or bacteria when it comes in.
This immune system did its job and that caused a fever.
Then did I do well?
Yes, but I don't think your fever would have gotten so high so soon.
If you tell me or your dad when you feel slightly warm,
you won't have to call 911 like yesterday.
Like I told you before,
you can't hide or lie about being sick because you're worried about Dad.
Do you remember that?
Dad.
I should've paid her a visit sooner. What a pity.
I gave my business card to the store owners nearby.
I'll ask Mom to see if she can find out more.
I wish someone out there knows the old lady's number.
Thank you.
I'm doing it for Sol, so don't thank me.
Sol?
Yes. I was so freaked out yesterday.
Ju Hong starts work today.
I wonder if she can visit Sol.
She rushed over last night with Ji Hwan.
With Ji Hwan?
I couldn't reach Ji Hwan, so I called her instead.
Did Tae Hee and Tae Hyung come too?
Yes.
I guess they all care about Sol like she's family.
Well... I guess?
Why do you look so tired?
Me?
I think I look fine.
You eat and sleep in a cramped office.
It would be weird if you looked fine.
Have one of these.
Thank you.
You need to start taking supplements.
You can't just trust that you'll stay healthy.
It pays to suffer a bit when you're young.
How about this, Jin Ho?
No. Don't sit up. It's fine.
No, Grandpa.
I'm sorry.
Did you manage to talk to Ji Hwan?
No.
What should I do now?
I'm so scared.
I can't live without Ji Hwan. What should I do?
I will...
talk to Ji Hwan for you.
Will you? Will you talk to him for me?
What else can I do?
We can't recover the spilled milk,
but the broken bottle must be glued together.
Grandpa...
What do you mean there's no donor?
Did something happen to your wife?
I think it's a personal issue.
Sol has to go back on the waiting list. Do you think she can make it?
I don't know.
We must treat her so she doesn't get any worse.
Her fever went down but she needs special care for a while.
- Okay. - Test her urine every morning,
and bring the results to her next appointment.
I'll do that.
It's good knowing you live with an ER doctor.
I'll see you at the next appointment.
Yes, thank you.
The chairman's here.
I said he should wait until tomorrow but he insisted...
on coming to see you in the evening.
How is Sol doing now?
She's much better than when she came into the ER.
How fortunate.
Sol is the only thing that cheers up the chairman.
He's so worried and upset that the kid's sick.
Hi, Mom. Did you have dinner?
I'm off now too.
The old lady who owned the store in Unheng-dong.
Do you know anyone who has her number?
I cared for her as best I could,
but Tae Hee craves affection.
Just how devastated you must feel,
I do understand.
But she went this far out of her love for you.
Could you not let it go?
I know very well why Tae Hee did what she did.
Nothing like this...
will happen again.
I will guarantee that.
Ji Hwan.
I beg of you...
to let it go this time.
I'll think about it.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Not at all.
I'm sorry to cause you concern.
Don't be.
Thank you.
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
Mr. Choi, it's me.
Come to my office immediately.
I have a directors' meeting. What's this about?
I can't discuss anything at home because of your grandfather.
It's about you. Let's start rowing while the tide is right.
What do you mean?
I plan to get your marriage canceled.
What?
It's too late for that.
I'll have them file for divorce. That's quicker right now.
Tae Hyung.
If we can get them divorced at once, that would suit me much better.
Pay alimony and settle.
Why are you all doing this? I won't get divorced.
I wonder how much alimony Ji Hwan wants to pay out.
If it means I can get rid of all traces of him,
I'm willing to spend a little myself.
No. I won't get divorced.
Ji Hwan.
After what she did with Sol's life, you won't divorce her?
No, I won't.
How desperate must she have been to even have such an idea?
What?
I don't know where she got the idea,
but I want to believe she truly did it for Sol's sake.
Plus, the chairman came to see me and pleaded with me himself.
- Grandpa visited you? - Yes.
He pleaded so earnestly that I couldn't say no.
Thank you so much.
I won't do it again. I'm sorry.
Be quiet.
Saving your kid wasn't your purpose, was it?
You pleaded with the old man...
saying you only wanted to save your daughter's life.
If we were to divorce over this, what couple could stay married?
So what? You'll continue to stay in our house?
I'm sorry for the recent commotion.
I'll be extra careful so it doesn't happen again.
- Hello? - I have it.
I have the fabric store lady's number.
Hello. I'm Woo Ji Hwan.
Are you Ji Hwan?
Yes.
Her mother is dead?
She'd been saying she missed Min Young for a few months.
But then she stopped calling,
so I wondered what was up.
Who'd have known something like that would happen?
I'm really sorry.
I wish I could've brought better news.
No, not at all. Thank you for meeting me.
Let's go. I'll take you to the bus terminal.
Ji Hwan. Have you...
- Yes? - heard of your father?
- My father? - Yes, your father.
He died when I was nine years old.
That was Min Young's father.
I mean your birth father.
My birth father?
(The Secret House)
I told you to keep an eye on him!
Why are you so wary?
Why are you doing this, Father?
If Tae Hee comes home, make me vice president.
Is my birth father really someone else?
Who must I ask about this?
Did you hear about your father?
Do you know who it is? Have you met him?
- Who is it? - The chairman.
You'll ask the chairman?
It's about his son. Who would know better than him?
