EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 84

...

I'll just leave everything to mom and get the hell out of here. But I was late, thirty minutes from the appointment.

The two corners of my lips lifted up forming a small smile. “Sorry Mr. Seno has asked you to work on a Sunday like this. I need to move everything to Mom. Please help mom if later she gets confused with all this.”

“You're going?!” Seno looked at me in shock, her eyes widening.

I chuckle softly. “After this I will go to find a new residence.”

Not yet had our conversation continued, the door of this room opened featuring a restaurant waiter who drove mother and Daniel into the room.

As usual, she looks beautiful and beautiful. He walked in silence then sat down on the chair in front of me followed by Daniel who also did not greet me and just followed mom to sit down.

Whether I should be sad or disappointed, mother and Daniel looked cold as if they were reluctant to meet me.

“What did you call us here?” I asked coldly.

I glanced at Mr. Seno who immediately understood and took out all the documents he had prepared and handed them all in front of mom. “Mother can sign there for her reception.”

I pointed at the empty column next to the one where I had signed my signature. “I handed over all of Aunt Rose's inheritance to mother in the form of land certificates, bank accounts and houses. After this I will look for a new residence and as soon as possible to move.”

“What?” Mother and Daniel looked shocked as they stared at the files in front of them.

“After mom signed it, please cancel my arranged marriage with Henry then I want to ask mom one thing and I hope mom says honestly.” No response from mom. He still looks shocked.

“Are you insulting mom right now?!” Mom suddenly shouted furiously at me. His face flushed with annoyance.

“Pak, can you wait in front?” Without needing a more detailed explanation, Seno nodded and immediately cleaned his bag and he stood up and walked out of this room.

After just the three of us in this room, Mother still looked at me angrily and Daniel was still shocked by all the documents before him. “Can this time alone we talk seriously without emotion, ma'am?”

“A—what?? Dare you teach mom!!” Mom stood up and kicked the table.

I who really had expected mother to be like this just sighed softly, no longer knowing what to do in order for mother to speak well. I can't remember the last time we spoke quietly. The attitude of the mother who always thought negatively about me got worse when Aunt Rose bequeathed her fortune to me.

My chest is getting sicker and I can't hide the wrinkles on my face. I'm looking down hoping that mom or Daniel doesn't see it. “Why is your face like that? Are you disgusted and can't wait to get away from this place?!”

My breath was like it was going to go away, I didn't care anymore if mother and Daniel were watching me but I quickly grabbed this little bag on my lap and took out a few pills. Maybe just eating one more grain of medicine is okay.

Then swallow it with water that is already available on the table.

I wiped the sweat on the side of my face with a tissue. I hope the medicine works quickly. For the next two minutes no sound came out of our mouths, all silent with their own thoughts.

Until the medicine I was eating started working and slowly the pain in my left chest was better and stronger enough to withstand.

“Daniel, can you answer my question??” It would be better to ask Daniel.

The man in front of me just stared at me silently. His facial expression was colder and I just saw this serious expression.

But remembering again his funny behavior like a little brother all this time again makes me not expect much from him. Even though I knew I would be disappointed in the end. “Can you tell me everything? Why are you doing this to brother? Brother sure you know the answer to the question you want to ask mom.”

“Don't take me in on your troubles with mom!” I was a bit shocked to hear his cold tone, like I did not know this figure before me.

Why is it so hard to let go of all this!

There was only one more step left but mother and Daniel were not willing to answer them all at all.

“I'm not a mother's son. I'm not Daniel's brother. I'm the kid that Aunt Rose put on my mom to sign up for her family card. Mom was mad at me because I alone got all of Aunt Rose's inheritance whereas in reality I turned out to be Aunt Rose's stepdaughter. Aunt Rose was trying to hide me from someone who had something to do with Eternity.” All of the preconceptions I had been thinking about had finally slid free from my mouth.

Mother looked at me without blinking, she was speechless not to argue or say yes. Then my gaze turned to Daniel who was also looking at me in silence.

“You knew all of this from the start and you got even more upset with me after hearing mom who kept blaming me for her divorce with dad. You miss me so much and want to live with me but I never cared or asked you. Actually you hated me a long time ago and somehow you met Rey Orihara. All the money you've been telling me for a failed investment isn't for an investment but to pay Rey to avenge me. Is my guess right??”

Daniel's jaw was hardened and bluffing. I glanced at Daniel confused. “What is he talking about? What revenge did you take on him?!”

Daniel's face flushed red, his eyes so sharp they looked at me. Now I can clearly see the hatred he has been harboring. The look on his face turned one hundred and eighty degrees from what he had been showing.

Is this how she feels about me actually?

I still looked at Daniel curiously, demanding his answer. But the boy just quietly gritted his jaw in annoyance while looking at me. I let out a long breath, the pain I felt was still going through my back.

My legs and hands trembled, I was very limp and could barely stand but out of nowhere the strength I got, I managed to stand facing both of them. “If you have signed it, leave it to Mr. Seno. He will take care of everything.”

I rewind this chair, turn around and attach a small shawl bag on my left shoulder. I almost fell down because my legs were no longer strong enough to support my body but my hands immediately held on to the end of the table.

“You deserve it! You have ruined my family! You made me unable to feel my affection! You easily get all that inheritance without trying! Your life is useless!” Daniel screeched, yelled at me. His voice was trembling, his emotions were stifled. I stopped my steps without turning to look at him
