Chapter 339 - Get Pregnant

Dan-Han had a serious frown etched on his face as he made his way back home. He kept looking at the certificate in his hand and he couldn't help the feeling brewing in his heart. He didn't like this turn of event.

Of all the hospitals why did it have to be that hospital? That hospital was already destroyed. How was he to proceed investigating now? What sort of ill-luck was this? He felt like he had already hit a dead end before he started his investigation about her birth.

A lot seemed to have happened in the Kim's hospital two decades ago. And now he was even more suspicious of the fire incident that destroyed the hospital. Could it have been an intentional act?

Tae-Ho who noticed the boss countenance looked at him from the rear view mirror and called, "Boss."

Dan-Han looked at him without saying a word.

"What should I do?" He didn't know what had happened inside the house, but he knew his boss worried and as his subordinate he should be of help.

Dan-Han looked away for a moment before returning his gaze to him. He passed the certificate to him.

"Investigate every child born on that particular day in that hospital." He ordered.

Tae-Ho frowned when he saw the name of the hospital.

"But boss-"

"I know." Dan-Han sighed. It wasn't going to be an easy task but they had to do something. "I'll give you time." He said.

Tae-Ho could only nod and accept his orders. He knew the boss, if he wanted something done, he needed it done. And this time it had do with this little lady, so there definitely had to be results.

"Stop by a flower shop." Dan-Han ordered after a while.

"Yes sir." The driver answered.

...

Eun-sun was a bit nervous on their way to Ni-Na's house. She couldn't help but wonder why Ni-Na's mother had called for her. So many thoughts were going through her head, but she still couldn't tell why. She had only seen her once at Mrs Lee's funeral and there had been no interaction between them, so she wondered why she had been called.

Noticing how anxious Eun-Sun was, Ni-Na held her hand. "You don't have to be scared. My parents really aren't like uncle. They would never ask you to leave brother Dan-Han." Ni-Na assured her. She was in the know of Father Lee's rejection towards Eun-sun, so she understood her anxiety.

Eun-sun flashed her wry smile and nodded. She appreciated the girl's effort to comfort her but she still felt uneasy.

To Eun-sun, Ni-Na would never fully understand her worries. Unlike her, she was someone with an unknown background who wasn't fitting of someone like Lee Dan-Han. Even with her current foster background there was still big margin in their status and she had seen Mr Lee's attitude towards the matter, so how could she not be worried?

She doesn't want anybody to ask her to leave Dan-Han because she doesn't want to. She wanted to be with him just as much as he wanted to be with her.

"I think I know how you can be with my brother with nobody protesting to it." Ni-Na suddenly said when she noticed Eun-sun's nervousness prevailed. Eun-sun looked at her with curious eyes.

"How?" She asked.

"Get pregnant." Ni-Na said.

"Huh?" Eun-sun stiffened at her words. She looked at the girl with disbelief while her eyes blinked rapidly. How could she say that? Why was she saying something so...

But wait! she had just had sex with Dan-Han. What if she got...No! no! she didn't want to think that way. She should probably get pills. ;

Ni-Na shook her head and sighed when she saw her dumbfounded look. Why was her sister in-law more naive than her? Was she trying to act innocent with her right now?

Ni-Na turned fully to look at Eun-sun. "You and my brother can't pull the no premarital sex card on me, because I know my brother can't be that patient and I saw your neck and the room this morning. He's been avoiding women his whole life especially after that incident, but with you he's different so I know him well just the same way I know my uncle. If you want to get to share your forever with Dan-Han do something he can't say no to, and that's grandchildren. Uncle is still mourning so he might be more irrational but drop this on him and the tides will be in your favor." She said and shrugged.

Eun-sun silently stared at the girl not sure of what to say. She wasn't sure if it was good to have this conversation to her, but she had to agree that her idea might work, but that wasn't something she wanted.

She wanted to be more than just Dan-Han's lover, she wanted to be his support, his most valuable person and help meet. She didn't want to just be a liability to him, or someone he always had to fight for. She wanted to be united force with him. He was already a great person but she wanted to make him more, just like he was making her better. She wanted to be someone befitting of him and the title he would give her.

Getting pregnant wouldn't change much. they might be able to make the old man come to a compromise, but she'll always have to depend on Dan-Han to look after her.

No! she didn't want that.

"I don't want that." She firmly said while Ni-Na readily nodded as she had expected this answer.

Still staring at Eun-sun, she inquisitively asked, "What then do you want?"

What she wanted? Eun-sun kept silent for a while before she answered, "I want to be deserving of him. I want to be with him in a way no one would look down at me or mock him because of me and my background. I should be a source of strength not a weakness or a stain to his name."

"But you're not." Ni-Na told her. She didn't see her as such.

"I know, but I want to prove it to myself. I don't want to take any chances."

Ni-Na couldn't help but sigh but she understood what she was trying to say. But how was she going to attain what she wanted? It wasn't going to be easy.

"How do you intend to this?" Ni-Na curiously inquired.

Eun-sun fell silent as she hadn't really thought much about it. She had no idea how to go about this, but she had thought finding her biological parents would help her a tad bit, hence why she wanted to them, but after speaking with Dan-Han, she didn't know anymore.

But maybe she could make something of herself. She could try to add more value to herself.

She looked at Ni-na with contemplative eyes. "What if I start a business and build a name for myself? He would approve of me then, wouldn't he?"

Ni-Na was surprised by her answer, her eyes widened with shock-surprise.

"You want to start a business?" She asked just to be sure she heard currently, and her eyes widened even more when Eun-sun nodded her head. Ni-Na was tongue-tied. What could she say?

Eun-sun was picking the hard road just to be with love? A frown framed her brows when a thought came to mind.

"Noona, have you thought about this before, or are you doing this because of uncle? Is this something you really want?"

"Honestly, I've always wanted to have a career at PK corp. It has always been my dream to be a director there, but I've also had an innate desire to own my own management consulting firm when I'm married, so I can have more time for my family. Working for people when you have a family can be bothersome, because you have to work on their time, not yours." She said. This was the reason why she had majored in business management, so she could pursue both dreams.

"Wow!" Ni-Na gushed. Eun-sun seems to have had her life planned out before now. She have even thought as far as what she'd do when she was married. She liked ladies like this.

"But now you're dating the man who runs the company." Ni-Na told her.

"But his father owns it. Anything can happen to him and I don't want to be responsible for any mishap. So I guess maybe I must choose another path if I must support your brother." She shrugged.

Ni-Na didn't know what to say after she heard that. It seems Eun-sun had really thought things through and she didn't know if she had any word of advice for her, even if she did, she couldn't just say it out as Eun-sun was older than a her with a few years. The right person she should have such a conversation with should be her brother. It wasn't easy starting up a business of any kind.

"Talk to my brother, he's the experienced one and this concerns the both of you, so if you must fight for him, he should be involved to guide you." Ni-Na told her.

Eun-sun pondered on her words and nodded. She had to admit Ni-Na was quite knowledgeable for a girl her age.

"Thank you," She said as they both arrived Ni-Na's compound.
