When Your Pain Becomes Mine - Chapter 176
Hearing Gyeonhui, Mrs. Shin didn’t answer.
“Did you regret having him choose you?”
“I did. I clenched my teeth, watching him die, and I had decided that I would take everything his father had from him.”
Mrs. Shin turned her face and looked at Chairman Woo as she continued to speak.
“I wanted to show him that the money he only cared about more than his own son was worthless.”
“I also wanted to do that, Mom.” Gyeonhui paused for a moment and started speaking again. “I also wanted to take everything you have and prove that it was worthless. However, what was it that you earned from that? You’ve lost my father and even me.”
Hearing Gyeonhui, Mrs. Shin furrowed her eyebrows. “I was going to give you the Lasung group.”

“What’s that? Is that a reward?”
“Because that was only what I could have given you.”
“No, what I wanted from you was you, not the Lasung group.”
Hearing the unexpected words from Gyeonhui, Mrs. Shin’s eyes shook.
“You’re just like my grandfather.”
“What…?”
“He only cared about his money before his son, and you cared more about Lasung rather than yourself. What’s the difference?”
Her eyes started trembling.
“I’ll ask you a question again. Did he regret it? Not you, my father.”
His question sent her back in time 30 years ago.
She recalled his face that always smiled brightly at Gyeonhui and herself, even when they were poor.
“My father had never regretted that he chose you. He wouldn’t have chosen you from the beginning if he was going to regret it.” Gyeonhui said in a confident voice.
“What do you know about him? You don’t even remember him!”
“No, I don’t remember him. However, last time, the Chairman said that my mother didn’t do anything wrong. He said that it was all his fault and that I shouldn’t resent.”
“… That’s ridiculous.” She responded in disbelief.
He paused, then started speaking again. “I didn’t know what he meant exactly at the time, but now I can see it. He knew everything about your thoughts, and what you were going to do to him. However, he still let you have the position you have now because he wanted to be responsible for his fault and to be forgiven by you.”
She turned her eyes slowly and looked at Chairman Woo. “I just wanted to be responsible for my fault and be forgiven by Sun. That’s all I wanted, and that’s why I have to go.”
Gyeonhui answered her with a firm expression and turned his body to leave.
Mrs. Shin was still watching the Chairman hollowly without saying anything.
Gyeonhui paused his stride before he left Chairman Woo’s room.
“He is still unconscious, but he might still be able to hear from you. A miracle only happens when it is needed.”
‘Bang.’
Gyeonhui left the room with the sound of the door closing.
Mrs. Shin looked down at Chairman Woo quietly.
“Did you really know everything? Then what have I done to you until now?”
Mrs. Shin closed her eyes and couldn’t speak anymore.
Her eyes then trembled hard.

“Hah…”
When Gyeonhui came out of the room, he exhaled a long sigh. He felt that his mother’s life was worthless, for she only spent her time seeking revenge. He also thought that his own life was the same, so he ruined his own life to resent his mother.
“I wish I knew it a bit quicker…”
If he gave up on getting revenge for his mother, he didn’t need to take every risk to merge with the DNBM. It meant that Gyeonhui didn’t need to leave Sun on the last day, and she might have been safe now.
His regret continuously bothered him.
“Maybe it’s not too late…”
Gyeonhui struggled to open his eyes.
He had lost his company and the CEO position, but he was still okay because he had Sun.
The only thing that bothered him was the last words that Sun told him.
‘I thought you really had changed… I really believed it… but…’
He recalled Sun’s eyes that were filled with sorrow.
He was lonely and in pain.
At that time, his phone rang.
It was Ojae.
“What’s up?”
Gyeonhui, who was suppressing his sad emotion, answered the phone.
“Sun’s awake!!”
Gyeonhui’s eyes widened.
He started running, not even answering Ojae.

“How do you feel? Can you feel any pain?” Pushing her right big toe, the doctor asked her.
“Yes.”
“How about here?”
“Yes, it hurts.”
“Hmm.”
The doctor exhaled a sigh of relief while nodding his head.
“Is she… is she okay?”
“Yes, fortunately, her nerves work just fine, but…”
“But what?”
“Can you lift up your right arm?”
Sun struggled to lift up her right arm. However, her hand was trembling like an epileptic, and she couldn’t clench her fist.
“She might need rehabilitation therapy.”
Hearing the doctor, Ojae bit his lower lip. Watching Sun next to her, Eunyoung also looked at Sun in sympathy.
“As long as she’s willing to do the training, she can recover up to 80~90% of the range of motion she normally used, so it’s too early to give up.”
“… Thank you.” Sun said.
The doctor lowered his head slightly and left the room.
“Sun…”
Eunyoung called her while blurring the end of her words.
“It’s okay. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” Sun said, comforting Eunyoung.
“I would like to be alone for a minute…”
“Oh, okay.”
Eunyoung hurriedly left the room with Ojae.
Left alone in the patient room, Sun was lost in thought while looking out through the window.
She was able to hear everything that happened to her in a week from Ojae and Eunyoung.
She also heard that the criminal had been arrested, but her mind was still perplexed.
“Um…”
And she had a terrible headache once in a while.
She bit her lips to endure the pain until her lips burst, but it was such a significant pain to bear.
‘I’m hitting you because your boyfriend feels your pain too. If you’re in pain, he will also be. He will finally bring me the money because the pain will be unbearable.’
Sun couldn’t forget what the woman told her in the warehouse.
“… Cheonsun… Don’t get sick. If you do, I get sick too.”
Gyeonhui’s words, when he was drunk and visited her place in the past, crossed her mind.
“I knew nothing… I was deceived…”
She became resentful about herself, who truly believed that Gyeonhui was sincere.
At that time, the door opened roughly, and Gyeonhui hurriedly came into the room.
“Sun, Sun!!!”
Gyeonhui came to her and hugged her right away.
“Thank you. I’m so happy that you’re awake. It’s such a fortune.”
He said in a crying voice. However, staying calm, she pushed him away.
“What’s fortune…?” Sun asked him with a sunken voice.
Gyeonhui was embarrassed and looked at her.
“… Sun…?”
