Inside the ward of the oncology wing at the hospital.

The machines were operating coldly and mechanically.

However, Kim Woo-bin was no longer the Kim Woo-bin Lisa remembered.

The man lying on his sickbed was bony, his eyes sunken and was essentially skin over skeleton. He had lost so much weight that his appearance had changed dramatically.

Mingyu entered, and softly said, "Dad, look who's here!"

Kim Woo-bin opened his eyes with much difficulty, but his gaze twinkled when he found Lisa, and he quickly struggled to get up.

Lisa promptly stepped up and held him back, "Please, don't move"

Even so, Woo-bin was emotional and his tears were flowing freely. "Lili, it really is you!"

"Yes, it's me", Lisa held his skinny hand, swallowing.

"Ah," Woo-bin sighed as he watched her. "Four years, four years! Why did you go missing, child? Don't you know that I'm worried?"

Lisa's tears began to fall like strings of broken pearls too. "I'm sorry" She apologized, her voice quivering.

She realized then that there was still a person who was worried about her.

When Woo-bin was about to continue he realized that a child was behind Lisa and brightened, "Is that....Your child?"

Lisa nodded and gave the little one a tug.

The little one called out sweetly. "Hello! I'm Soobin, I'm four years old!"

Moved, Kim Woo-bin responded to the boy but also suddenly remembered the child's origins and was left troubled.

He hence dulled as soon as he brightened.

He had heard certain rumors when Lisa was disowned by the Lee family, about how she had slept with an old man.

He certainly did not expect her to be pregnant and also give birth.

Noticing something unusual with Kim Woo-bin, Lisa quickly asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Woo-bin recovered, but suddenly felt a gush of something in his throat.

Cough_

He coughed violently, his face red and his eyes slightly bulging.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Lisa went pale-white in fright, but quickly yelled at Kim Mingyu who was still staring blankly, "Get the doctor now!"

As Mingyu slow-wittedly ran out of the ward, Lisa watched as Woo-bin, barely staying alive and bled through his mouth.

She kept her hand over her mouth, about to cry.

Meanwhile, the little one mustered his courage and gave rub Woo-bin rub on his back.

"I'll help you....Pain, pain, go away!"

Kim Woo-bin looked at his small, tender face. His little dark eyes were clear, bright, and unafraid.

Kim Woo-bin understood instantly then that the child did not wrong.

Raising his hand with much difficulty, he touched the little one's cheeks, and the boy smiled dazzlingly towards him.

The doctor put an oxygen mask on Kim Woo-bin when he arrived, and gestured for Kim Mingyu to leave the room for a discussion after a series of checks.
