Weekly Chapter 4/4

“Eunha, you know Shaggy, right? He tumbled down from a tree. I think he broke his arm. Come out now!”

“Shaggy?”

Eunha quickly followed Gari.

Following the large fire in Harye, Eunha made daily visits to the clinic to care for the patients, many of whom had been with Jihak since his days in the Royal Palace.

After Kim Unsoo lost his life, Eunha was the only one who could take care of them. These people had no ties to Harye, they had merely followed Jihak.

Heein also came every day.

As time went by, the vibrant spring flowers that once adorned the mountain gave way to rich, green foliage.

The Great Prince still could not return to Harye.

The King, who had frequently received information about the situation, sought the Great Prince’s assistance in eliminating the rebels still present in the Royal Palace.

That was an excuse. The King aimed to consolidate his power by keeping the Great Prince close. Jihak’s presence alone was enough to silence the Ministers.

That’s why Eunha stayed at Heein’s house until early summer.

Eunha found Shaggy in the yard crying.

The front yard was filled with young patients.

Eunha approached Shaggy, who was there with his mother.

“I will translate your message, don’t worry.”

Only after Eunha comforted the boy did Shaggy show his arm to Robin. The doctor Robin looked worried, and said he had to take a bitter medicine.

“I’ll prescribe you medicine to prevent the wound from festering. Take it twice a day.”

People looked at Eunha in surprise because she translated fluently in the Western language.

“I broke my bone, why do you say the wound can fester?”

“When you break a bone, a wound forms inside the flesh. You can no longer lift heavy things for a while. You shouldn’t even play with your friends.”

It meant he had to stay home with care for a month. After they immobilized his arm, Shaggy clung to his mother’s skirt.

After they said goodbye to Samsik, Eunha returned to the doctor’s office. Then she reopened the book she had taken out earlier. It was a book on eye diseases that doctor Robin had brought from the West. She gathered the necessary information.

Robin focused exclusively on treating patients.

She lived a repetitive life every day, but she never got tired.

“No answer today either?”

The attendant, tasked with receiving the letters, displayed an embarrassed expression.

“There is no answer.”

“Thank you.”

Eunha entered her room empty-handed.

She often sent letters to Yongi. She told her that she had met Robin at Harye, about her child, and various events that happened in her daily life.

But Yongi seldom responded. Was this truly the end?

Eunha was in a foul mood.

After she packed her clothes, Eunha came out with a sweaty brow. Those who had grown accustomed to seeing her face greeted her warmly.

They now called her the acting teacher. She had earned her reputation. Some people sought her out to learn the Western language, but she turned down their requests.

Eunha walked down the street as the sun set. The red-tinged sky, the gentle warmth of the wind, and the scent of rain signaled the approach of summer.

She missed Jihak deeply, even shedding tears from the overwhelming longing she felt.

Eunha went to the place where she had last seen him. She hoped to find him there.
