Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 242 Li Yihua's Worries

"Everyone is there."

"Um, Sun-young."

"Come with me to the hospital for a follow-up appointment tomorrow."

After explaining his purpose, Cui Wusheng remained silent.

"Oh~!"

"Cough cough~~"

"Okay, bro."

Sun-young coughed twice and answered softly.

"Dad, have some garlic."

Luo Meilan suddenly held up a clove of garlic she had just peeled and said with a smile.

After saying that, he and Li Yihua lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter, afraid that they would burst out laughing.

(There is a legend that a bear ate garlic for 49 days and then turned into a human.)

Sun-young quickly patted Ra Mi-ran's hand as a warning.

"Um, brother, you should go back first."

"I'll be there in a bit."

"Also, Pearl is with Zhengfeng. Could you bring her back for me later?"

After Sun-young finished speaking, Choi Moo-sung looked at the crowd trying to suppress their laughter, completely bewildered.

He could only leave with a head full of questions.

As soon as he left, the laughter inside could no longer be contained and burst into loud raucous laughter, making Cui Wusheng, who was outside the alley, feel a chill run down his spine...

Street noodle stall

Looking at Sunwoo's worried face, Paula pursed her lips, stirred the noodles in his bowl with her chopsticks, and then stirred the noodles in her own bowl before eating.

Sunwoo, on the other hand, looked deep in thought, as if he was pondering something.

"What's wrong? Did you break up with your boyfriend?"

Paula teased him, looking at his expression.

"no!"

"sister!"

"What nonsense!"

Sunwoo reacted instantly.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding."

"Tell me, what are you thinking about?"

"Why are you acting so strangely today? You're not even eating udon noodles?"

Paula picked up a piece of noodles with her chopsticks, asked curiously, and then took a big bite.

"I'm thinking about my mom and uncle."

Sunwoo spoke up.

"Uncle? Who is that?"

Paula bit off a piece of noodle, looked up and asked.

Sunwoo reached out and wiped the traces from Bora's mouth before speaking slowly.

“It’s Aze’s father. I know everything about Mom and him.”

“I didn’t feel bad when he was alone with his mother.”

"But sometimes when I think about the two of them..."

"I always felt really awkward about it."

Sunwoo explained.

"why?"

"You hate him?"

Paula asked curiously.

"No, it's just that when I think about my mom being with him, I always feel..."

Sunwoo said hesitantly.

"What do you think?"

Paula pressed for an answer.

"I feel sorry for my dad."

"I've tried my best to accept the fact that they're together, but I still can't help thinking about it, especially when I see my dad coming home..."

Under Bora's persistent questioning, Sunwoo finally stammered out his answer.

"Then you should stop them."

"Let Mom and Aze's dad separate."

"Don't let them meet."

"Let's just move out."

Paula said with a hint of sarcasm.

"no!"

"Mom will be sad."

"Also, what will happen to my sister if we move away?"

Sunwoo looked at Bora's smile and said very seriously.

"Then why are you thinking so much?"

"I was afraid of upsetting my mother, and I also had other random thoughts."

"Sunwoo, don't worry about everything."

"You can't have it all. What if I leave you someday?"

Paula looked at him and asked.

"No, sister, you can't leave."

"Otherwise I'll be heartbroken."

Sunwoo suddenly said nervously.

"You've never left me, how do you know I'll be sad?"

Just as Sunwoo was about to continue speaking, Bora spoke first.

"Alright, you're overthinking it."

"Whether it's Mom, Dad, Uncle, or me."

"They have no objections, and I won't just leave without saying a word."

"You're just overthinking things."

"Eat your noodles."

After Paula finished speaking, she gently patted his head.

Sunwoo looked at Bora's slightly comforting smile, smiled back, exhaled, and regained his usual composure.

Sunwoo thought he had truly let go, but in the end he overestimated himself.

He is sensitive to emotions and often pays close attention to the smallest details.

She worries about her mother and Choi Moo-sung, cares about Bora, and is always concerned about Jin-joo, who has always been kind to her. She even worries about her deceased father, wondering how he feels in heaven.

Sun-young's family

Luo Meilan put down the garlic she had peeled, clapped her hands, and looked at Li Yihua, asking a question.

"By the way, Deok-sun's mom, you're going to the hospital tomorrow too, right?"

Upon hearing Luo Meilan's question, Li Yihua smiled and was about to answer when she was interrupted by Shanying's surprised exclamation.

"what happened?"

"Sis, are you going to the hospital too?"

"what happened?"

"sick?"

Sun-young asked with a mixture of curiosity and concern.

"No~"

"It was Paula's dad who gave her a spot to bring a family member for a free medical check-up."

"I'll go for a medical check-up tomorrow, it's free anyway."

Li Yihua explained with a smile.

"Wow~ No wonder he's the only one in our alley working at a bank!"

"There's even this perk!"

Sun-young praised her in surprise.

"Getting promoted really makes a difference!"

"You can bring your family members, but can you bring your neighbors?"

Luo Meilan smiled and raised her eyebrows, teasingly.

"Ouch~"

"Big sister, what are you saying?"

"What kind of high-ranking official is he? Besides, this isn't a good thing."

Li Yihua smiled and waved her hand, but then her brows furrowed slightly, and she said with a hint of worry.

"What if the tests reveal something?"

Sun-young quickly waved her hand.

"No way, how could that be!"

"Your lives have only just started to get better, they'll definitely get even better!"

"There's no illness or anything like that."

"Sis, don't overthink it!"

Sun-young quickly shook her head and waved her hands to comfort her.

Despite Sun-young's words of comfort, Lee Il-hwa's concerns remained unresolved. Instead, she looked up at the two of them, pressed her hand to her chest with some worry, and hesitated before speaking.

"But I've felt it before; there's always been a hard lump below my chest."

“In those days, we didn’t have the money to go see it. I’ve never said that before.”

"Do you think it might be cancer?"

After Li Yihua finished speaking, she suddenly looked up at the two of them and said worriedly.

“Bah bah bah!!!”

"How can it be!"

"Sister (Paula's mother), don't overthink it!"

Sun-young and Ra Mi-ran shouted in unison.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"How could it be cancer? It's nothing, just a lump!"

Luo Meilan rubbed the lower part of her chest. Although she didn't feel any lump, she still spoke.

"Everyone has a little bit of this, it's fine, it's fine."

"Yes, sis, don't talk nonsense."

"You don't look like a sick person, you look like someone who's enjoying life! Yes! You'll definitely be fine."

Sun-young pointed with her finger and looked at Lee Il-hwa with certainty.

Listening to her two good friends' words of concern, Li Yihua sighed softly and said.

"I hope so."
