In the end, Kim Jin-Woo heard nothing from them. The very same Hyun-Ji that had been joking around just moments ago ended up shedding tears non-stop at the mention of their father, as if her energetic appearance prior had all been a lie. His mother brought Hyun-Ji back into her room, and told him not to worry about it.

“Did something happen to Father?” Kim Jin-Woo asked.

“Don’t worry about it. Your father is doing well; it’s just that he’s been busy with work and hasn't been home the past few days. Hyun-Ji’s probably just acting up because she wants your attention, possibly because she hasn’t seen you in a long time. Don’t worry too much,” his mother answered.

It didn’t sound right at all. Worry was written all over her face, and the Eyes of Truth had revealed how bad their psychological states were. It was also obvious that his mother was awkwardly embarrassed, due to the fact that she wasn’t the type to lie so easily.

However, Kim Jin-Woo didn’t probe any further. He figured it was something his mother didn’t want him to do.

She might have looked soft on the outside, but he knew that deep down, she was more strong-willed than anyone else.

After all, even when her own child had returned suddenly after disappearing for a year, she didn’t probe into what had happened, nor did she ask about why Kim Jin-Woo had suddenly disappeared....
