It was quite a while after Sunwoo sent the message that Han Soojin finally replied.@@novelbin@@

[Sunwoo, I’m sorry. I just saw your message. It seems like everything should be fine, but just in case, you should definitely go to the hospital.]

[Also, I’ll be heading abroad for a seminar, so I won’t be reachable for a while. I’m sorry, it was a last-minute decision, and I didn’t have time to let you know earlier.]

That was quite an unexpected piece of news. A seminar abroad? How long would she be gone, and where would she be going that she couldn’t stay in touch? Sunwoo immediately called Han Soojin as soon as he read the message.

I’m sorry, Sunwoo. The hospital director personally gave me orders, so I can’t be absent. The schedule is at least a few months long, and I can’t guarantee when I’ll be back. Moreover, it’s so packed that I don’t think I’ll be able to contact you. I’m truly sorry that I can’t be there for you until the end.

Throughout the call, Han Soojin repeatedly apologized in a somber tone. After a long pause, she added something.

And Sunwoo, I think it would be better for you to find another hospital, if possible.

Since Sunwoo didn’t want to return to the hospital without Han Soojin, that wasn’t a problem. But finding an obstetrics clinic still made him uneasy in many ways. After thanking her for everything, he ended the call and decided to think more positively.

"Well, for now, there’s no problem. I can think about it more later."

Since his stomach wasn’t hurting at the moment, it didn’t seem like there was any big issue. He thought it would be best to make a more careful decision after some consideration.

"Let’s just go out for now."

Sunwoo slung the bag he had prepared earlier over his shoulder. Today, he planned to take a walk to a recreational forest located a bit farther from home. He had read online that forests were good for the fetus.

Coincidentally, the forest was just a 20-minute bus ride away, and if he left now, he could walk around and return before sunset.

The sky was clear and beautiful, with soft, white clouds scattered across. The cool breeze felt refreshing, and walking through the forest seemed like it would be a pleasant experience.

Where are you?

Where exactly?

I’ll wait for you.
