Flowers Are Bait

Chapter 238:

Chapter 238:

It was when Kwon Chae-woo stopped making music due to his mothers fake death and resroted to violence.

At that time, driven by the lingering hatred for Yoon Joo-ha, Kwon Ki-seok deliberately set such conditions for the bet.

Just as you felt maternal love for Kwon Chae-woo, I want you to show that kind of sincerity for my child this time. Just once, please show that earnestness in front of me.

However, Yoon Joo-ha soon stopped playing his games, and tightly sealed her lips. She was a woman who would not yield even once.

In the past, he used to pry open her mouth and insert a spoon directly, molding rice balls between his fingers and placing them between her molars as soon as food was obtained.

Furthermore, he used to try closing her jaws with both hands. Chew, chew, and swallow.

Kwon Ki-seok felt that only by seeing a woman who chose life for their child would his conscience be relieved.

However, Yoon Joo-ha thoroughly rejected him until the moment she starved to death. Even while administering nutritional supplements overnight, she was a woman who would stab herself in the throat with the feeding needle instead. She was so relentless and ruthless.

She hated him so much shed rather die than bear his son and live with him forever.

One day, as he looked at his brother, who had become So Lee-yeons husband while losing his memory, Kwon Ki-seok naturally wished for Kwon Chae-woo to experience the same thing.

After Chae-woo found out about So Lee-yeons lie, he hoped that she would be cruel to her with the trauma of fake and lies.

Since killing a person was no easy task, it would be better to burden his brother with the same yoke as Yoon Joon-ha, So Lee-yeon.

He hoped that Chae-woo and he would have something in common. Only then could he bear the the presence of the woman that had deeply affected his heart. However, Chae-woo acted differently each time and sparked a sense of defeat to Kwon Ki-seok.

Did you, like, love Yoon Joo-ha?

Lee-yeon looked at him with a horrified expression, as if witnessing something dreadful.

Love her, like

As if he would hear any strange words, he burst into laughter.

Do you think I could? I just did what I had to do as the eldest son of the Kwon family.

I was guilty of daring to kidnap a child from the Kwon family and kill another child from the Kwon family. He added bitterly, I won that bet.

As lightning struck, the surroundings brightened, then darkened again. His jawline, once concealed by the backlight, now emerged with stark prominence.

Lee-yeon sensed an unexplainable discomfort emanating from the man whose words and demeanor existed in discord.

Watching a man who clung to misplaced trust all his life made the tightly closed gate seem futilely opened.

Perhaps apprehensive that her own countenance might mirror his, she hastily swallowed her parched saliva.

Yoon Joo-ha starved to death because Chae-woo didnt play She started incredulously, What thats absurd!

No, the one at fault was you, undoubtedly the perpetrator, its you, Kwon Ki-seok. Lee-yeons eyes flashed with realization.

I will personally tell Chae-woo the conditions of this bet when he is happiest.

!

She couldnt help but be at a loss for words.

The culprit youve been desperately searching for is none other than yourself, the one who abandoned Yoon Joo-ha first.

Lee-yeon kept her face coldly composed. It was undeniable that Kwon Ki-seok was a bad person, but it was also enough to crush Kwon Chae-woo.

She felt strangely uneasy. She couldnt blame the man who was already weighed down by self-blame. She wanted to get out of there alive.

Even now, she didnt resent or hate Kwon Chae-woo. It was just his presence was so special to Lee-yeon, she was afraid of being overwhelmed again.

A damp scent of rain filled her nostrils at that moment.

Why are you telling me all this?

Kwon Ki-seok turned and approached her.

Isnt the contract ending tomorrow? This will be the last time we see each other. Thank you for your hard work.

The man, who bowed briefly, passed by Lee-yeon with an expressionless face, leaving her with a perplexing situation.

Chae-woo is waiting for the day he can be happy by So Lee-yeons side.

That was the profound dilemma Kwon Ki-seok presented.

He had wagered with Yoon Joo-ha. To him, all of this seemed nothing more than entertainment to him.

However, Kwon Ki-seok failed to consider that Lee-yeon was not just an ordinary woman; she was a doctor. When it came to taking care of others, she summoned a strength far greater than what he perceived.
