Handsome CEO's Rahim
Chapter 32
“This is a miracle. How did you recover so quickly?” Ask Lawyer Jo.
“There's one fact I haven't told everyone.” Lily is now turning serious.
“What?” Ask Lawyer Jo.
“It is, that in fact I have not forgotten the memory of the accident on that ladder. Yes, it's true, there's some memory missing. But not all. I still remember that fateful incident. I also still remember my wedding day, my first night and who my husband was.” Lily Said.
“So all this time...”.Lawyer Jo looked shocked.
“Today I hid all that from you.” Answer Lily.
“Why?” Ask Lawyer Jo.
“Because I knew this kind of incident would happen.” Lily with a sharp look.
“So you already know about all these truths? about who Kai is and all these problems?”
“I've known it even before we got married.” Lily Said.
“how can? didn't you guys never know each other before?”
“No, we have actually known since decades ago. Either Kai still remembers it or not. But we are friends from childhood.”
“Kai, I used to call it Bogeum. His mother used to call him that. He was a weak, whiny, shy and pessimistic child. The kids in the class often bully him. At first, I became friends with him out of pity. I often defended him, encouraged him and sometimes even tried him. But one thing, he's a good boy.”
“His Grandmother's Death..”
“I watched it in front of my own eyes. With Kai who was still innocent at that time.”
“What? Master Kai witnessed the death of his own Grandmother? But he never told me anything.”
“Yes, it's because he still can't recover and forget about that incident.”
“That time..I was playing with him in the park until the afternoon. His grandmother then picked him home out of worry. But at that time, Kai did not want to go home. Finally, her grandmother, Mrs Park told me to come to her house for a while so that Kai would be invited home. I'm with them too.”
“But Kai didn't want to just sit around waiting, he asked me to run through the secret door. He made it himself. A secret hole he made to escape from the room while receiving punishment from his Grandmother. Even that hole is still there today. We also came out through the hole.”
“Once out we were suddenly in the side yard of the house, from which we could see from the road there was a car coming to Kai's house. It was Miss Kim. He was wearing black clothes with his son. We are suspicious of his movements. We followed them secretly.”
“Madam Kim and her son initially had a long argument with Mrs Park. I don't know what they were making a fuss at the time but after that Mrs Park told all the employees in her house to leave her. What I heard from the testimony of one of the maids, Mrs Park told them to come out because Mrs Park needed privacy. Nonsense, this must be the insistence of Mrs Kim.”
“We both peeked out of the window of the incident, an event that could never be lost from my memory. When Mrs Kim's hand held out a long rope and gave it to Mrs Park. Ms. Park accepted it with sobs, then as I thought. Mrs Park hanged herself right in front of Mrs Kim. I still remember Mrs Park's screams of pain and Mrs Kim's laughter. So terrible.”
“Wait..how could no one feel suspicious about it. Obviously Mrs Kim was the last one near Mrs Park. How people did not suspect or accuse Mrs Kim of being the culprit. He's the one next to Mrs Park. Didn't you say the entire employee was told to get out. Means the only people in the house besides Mrs Park are Mrs Kim and her son.”
“Yes, but all those employees have been forcefully silenced by Mrs Kim. And you know, after that whole house employee resigned. The reason is because they don't want to be exposed to bad things from Mrs Park's death, even though I'm sure it's because Mrs Kim threatened them. And the cleverness of Mrs Kim who engineered the TKP so that it was as if Madam Park's death was purely due to suicide.”
“Then you guys? You two witnessed it live.”
“Yes, after that incident we were caught by Jung Hwan. He immediately pulled us out. We ran as fast as we could, until on the road, one of Mrs Park's employees, Mr. Choi gave us a ride on his bike. We were then taken away by Mr. Choi. Mr. Choi was going to take us to Kai's parents who were on duty at the company. But unfortunately.”.
“In the middle of the road, Jung Hwan's uncle managed to intercept us. He nudged Mr. Choi's motorbike until it was dragged to the edge of the ravine. We almost fell. Kai's the worst, but...Choi sacrificed himself for Kai. He finally fell into the abyss. At that time Kai was going to help me to go upstairs, but then Jung Hwan showed up. Thankfully I managed to climb up. We ran away and ran as fast as we could. Somehow we got away from Jung Hwan. Kai drove me home. I still remember his words before leaving.”
“Geumi..I'm sorry for dragging you up like this.Your clothes are torn, if your mother asks then answer you after playing and falling. If I had just obeyed my grandmother's words to go home, you might not have come along. But, this has happened. Again I'm sorry. I'm leaving now, maybe after this we won't see each other again. I hope you don't change and remain the geumi I know. Hopefully someday we can meet again.”
Lily shed tears after finishing the story.
“...”Jo's lawyer took off his glasses and wiped the tears that had pooled in his eyelids.
“I guess...Kai still blames himself for the deaths of Mr. Choi and his grandmother. Kai had suffered such deep wounds since childhood. That's why he until now can't forgive himself.” Mumbled Lily.
“This suffering must end soon. It's time to take revenge for all the crimes of Miss Kim in the past. I've gathered a lot of solid evidence. But I still need more guns. Mrs Dreeyana, do you want to help me get this revenge? you and Mr. Kai. I think the key is in you guys. If Mr. Kai wants to testify, and so do you, then it's accompanied by hard evidence. Then Mrs Kim will not be able to escape again.”
“Ya, I want.”
“Then, let's start by finding Mr. Kai first.” Lawyer Jo said seriously.
