Yuri realized she was right. The lawmakers of this city could give the lawbreakers a run for the money. Even if Hyeon-ah had gone to them even with substantial proof, they would have just shrugged it off. And the man in question was a well-known personality, the list of policemen on his payroll would be never-ending.
Suddenly, she was drained of all energy. Yuri held up the cup with her trembling hands and took a sip of the coffee. She had to organize her thoughts. Now was not the time to crumble and fall.
“Then why are you telling me this now?” she asked.
“You left for the States, and I didn’t have the authority to request a new investigation. But when I heard you came back to Korea, I thought it was appropriate to tell you.”
Their relationship wasn’t going to last anyways. They were bound by a contract and he had a fiancée. Sooner than later they were to part.
More so because she was of the opinion that her relationship with Tae-jun should only last until she recovers her memories. She didn’t want him to go through her struggles. There was no point in bothering him with her problems.
He didn’t owe her anything. Also, she couldn’t be a part of his life either. They came from different worlds that were never supposed to intersect. It was a trick of fate that their paths had crossed, but it was only for a short time. So it was safe to say that neither was obligated to the other in any way. Then, why entangle when the time to break free was near?
Yuri said in a deep voice, “No, there was nothing helpful.”
