Chapter 254 - 254 - Lost Baby
"Mom, don't contact anyone first," Aeri said, while grabbing her cell phone from Sun Book's hand.
"Why are you so strange. Your in-laws should have come here to visit and take care of you," Sun Book said in a rising voice while raising an eyebrow.
"Mom, I want to abort this fetus," Aeri said with a pleading look.
"What do you mean?" Sun Book said as she glared at Aeri. Didn't understand with what her daughter was thinking.
"Mom, Dae Hyun seems to realize that this fetus is not his child. If I keep it, I will get caught," Aeri said nervously and then bit her lower lip.
"He wouldn't know. You could fake the DNA results," Sun Book said.
"No way, Mom. Dae Hyun is not that stupid now."
"Then, if you intend to abort it. Won't they suspect?" Sun Book asked.
"I can say it all happened because of the accident that happened to me today. Besides, Dae Hyun is out of town. Now, find a gynecologist who is willing to help me, Mom. There's not much time," Aeri said as she pushed her mother's body away.
"But it's very risky," Sun Book said anxiously.
"No need to worry, I'm sure I'll be fine. Now meet the gynecologist at this hospital. Pay as much as they want," Aeri said.
"All right, whatever."
Sun Book was forced to follow Aeri's orders to secretly find a gynecologist at the hospital. Too bad they didn't want to handle abortion.
Sun Book finally looked for another clinic that was willing to help Aeri to abort her fetus. After finding it, Sun Book immediately took Aeri out of the hospital to an abortion clinic which was not far from the hospital. They left secretly so as not to be caught by the hospital employees.
==============================
UN village.
Mrs. Park and Jo Yeon Ho just got home in the afternoon. Jo Yeon Ho looked very happy right now. Finally, his desire to go for a walk was materialized, made Mrs. Park happy too.
They threw themselves on the sofa to relieve fatigue after traveling all day.
"Are you very happy?" Mrs. Park asked while stroking her favorite grandson's hair.
Jo Yeon Ho nodded his head enthusiastically and his face was lit up. Even though he couldn't go to a vacation with his father yet, today his grandmother was enough to make him happy.
Mrs. Park's cell phone suddenly rang. The woman immediately took it from the bag. Her forehead frowned when she saw the name who was calling. It was rare for Sun Book to contact her. Mrs. Park immediately answered, perhaps there was something important.
"Mrs. Park, can you come to the hospital right now?" Sun Book said from across the phone.
"Who's sick?" Mrs. Park immediately stood up.
"Aeri… Aeri just got into an accident," Sun Book said while sobbing.
"Isn't Aeri in her room?" Mrs. Park did not really believe that Aeri had an accident because when she said goodbye, Aeri said that she would not go anywhere.
"Aeri had an accident on the way to see me," Sun Book said while continuing to sob.
"All right, tell me where you are now?" Mrs. Park said.
"We're at Hallym University Medical Center," Sun Book said.
Without asking about Aeri's condition first, Mrs. Park immediately turned off her telephone connection. She asked Jo Yeon Ho to change his clothes first. Initially, she didn't intend to bring Jo Yeon Ho but the child kept on whining and asking to come along. He was also worried about his mother's current condition.
================================
Hallym University Medical Center,
Sun Book had brought Aeri back to the first hospital they visited after leaving the abortion clinic. Luckily the abortion went well even though Aeri had been bleeding for a while.
"Will my mother-in-law come here?" Aeri asked to Sun Book after finding out that her mother had made a call.
"Of course, you better be prepared to look sad and devastated. You just lost your baby. Act right, don't let your mother-in-law get suspicious," Sun Book said. Reminded Aeri to put on a sad face instead of a happy face.
"Calm down, Mom. I'll do it right," Aeri said as she pursed her lips.

Not long after that, Mrs. Park arrived at the hospital while holding Jo Yeon Ho's hand. The look on her face showed that she was very worried. With quick steps, they immediately went to the room that Sun Book had told her where Aeri was being treated.
Check ...
Mrs. Park immediately opened the door. Her eyes were immediately fixed on Aeri who was lying on the bed in a tilted position. There was no Sun Book in sight.
"Aeri, how are you?" Mrs. Park said while shifting the seat beside the bed. Set Jo Yeon Ho there.
Hearing her mother-in-law's voice, Aeri immediately turned around while sobbing. Then tried to sit back on the side of the bed.
"Mother, I'm sorry," Aeri said while holding Mrs. Park's hand. Tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Sorry?" Mrs. Park frowned to hear Aeri apologize.
"I… I can't take care of my future child, Mom. I've lost it now. I… I can't give a grandchild to you." Aeri bursted into tears and then hugged her mother-in-law's body tightly. Her tears spilled over Mrs. Park's shoulders.
Mrs. Park unmoved in her place, tried to digest what Aeri said. Her hand reached out to return her daughter-in-law's hug and then rubbed Aeri's back to calm her down.
Even though her son wanted a divorce from Aeri, Mrs. Park still couldn't bear to see her cry like that. Before the divorce took place, she would still treat Aeri as her daughter-in-law.
"What exactly happened?" Mrs. Park asked after Aeri had started to stop crying.
"I lost my child in an accident earlier, Mom. What should I do now? Maybe he left knowing that his father didn't want him." Aeri continued to sob while covering her face with both hands.
