How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 56
"Yesterday, I went through all sorts of things, so it's probably because of that. You were surprised, right?"
So, Sunwoo mumbled an excuse to the bean, who couldn’t hear him. Then, suddenly, he wondered if he was really okay after everything that happened yesterday.
He was surprised, had been in a scuffle, fainted, and even punched Kang Jinwook in the back of the head.
"Should I go to the hospital?"
There didn’t seem to be anything particularly wrong, and he felt no real pain. But still, he remembered Han Soojin’s words, warning him to be careful in the early stages.
"Let's just ask."
It seemed better to ask than keep worrying. Sunwoo reached for his phone, which was placed on the table, and grabbed it.
He touched Han Soojin’s name on the recent call list and dialed her number. However, only music played, and the call didn’t connect.
"Maybe it's because of her office hours."
She must be seeing a lot of patients at this time, with the evening approaching and urgent cases coming in.
After a moment of hesitation, Sunwoo decided to open his message app, briefly explain what had happened yesterday, and ask what he should do.
He waited a while, but there was no response. She must have been really busy. Well, she’d probably contact him after seeing the message.
While Sunwoo waited for a reply, the person he had messaged earlier was staring at a man who had just opened the door to the examination room.
"We seem to be seeing each other a lot lately."
Han Soojin’s expression was calm, but her tone was cold. In fact, with her arms crossed, it was obvious to anyone that she wasn’t welcoming the person who had just entered.
It was understandable. The man in front of her was Kang Jinwook, who always appeared without notice.
Kang Jinwook approached the desk where Han Soojin was sitting without responding to her greeting.
"Please sit down."
Han Soojin gestured toward the chair, but Kang Jinwook ignored her. He didn’t say anything either. He just stared quietly, making her feel uneasy.
It wasn’t like he had released pheromones, yet there was a sense of pressure. He was simply a man Sunwoo didn’t like in many ways.
"What's the matter today?"
Han Soojin spoke first. Kang Jinwook seemed to have been waiting for her to say something, as he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket.
Thud.
The paper fell in front of Han Soojin. On the A4 sheet was something that looked like a photo. It was dark, slightly noisy, and at first, Han Soojin couldn’t recognize what was printed.
But soon, she realized what it was. It was an ultrasound photo. She instantly recognized who it belonged to.
"What is this?"
But Han Soojin feigned ignorance, turning her gaze away from the photo and looking up at Kang Jinwook.
"When I checked, they said it’s a photo of a fetus around 6 or 7 weeks old."
Kang Jinwook spoke softly.
"I see. But why are you showing this to me?"
Han Soojin asked as she crossed her arms.
"Do you know who the owner of this photo is?"
"Hmm... I’m not sure?"
Han Soojin tilted her head as if pretending not to know. Of course, she had a strong suspicion. No, she was sure. This was Sunwoo’s ultrasound photo.
She had heard about it when Sunwoo came to the hospital a few days ago and asked a colleague to see him. She had even seen the photo during the ultrasound, but she had no intention of revealing that to Kang Jinwook.
"You must know."
"Well... As you can see, I specialize in family medicine, not obstetrics and gynecology," Han Soojin said, casually showing her name tag.
Family Medicine Physician Han Soojin
The gold name tag had it written on it.
"Choi Sunwoo."
When Kang Jinwook finally spoke Sunwoo’s name, Han Soojin hoped she hadn’t shown any sign of being disturbed.
"Is this Sunwoo’s? Maybe it’s a picture of his nephew or something. But what does that have to do with me...?"
Han Soojin tried to change the subject nonchalantly, but before she could even finish her sentence, her words were cut off.
"Someone saw Sunwoo recently, and he was meeting with another doctor besides you, Han Soojin."
Han Soojin fell silent at Kang Jinwook’s words.
"Of course, it could have just been a greeting. But the fact that they both went to an obstetrics and gynecology exam room, stayed there for a while, and then came out... isn’t that strange?"
"......"
Han Soojin’s face froze. Kang Jinwook, who had been staring at her the whole time, easily caught on to her tension.
"Of course, you can stay silent and use doctor-patient confidentiality as an excuse. I don’t mind. I’ll just find out for myself. But..."
The atmosphere in the examination room suddenly changed. It became heavy and stifling, and Han Soojin’s body stiffened with the pressure. It was a different kind of oppression from what she had felt earlier.
Zing. Zing.
At that moment, Han Soojin’s phone, which had been placed on the desk, vibrated. The bright screen displayed the name of the person calling.
Both Han Soojin and Kang Jinwook looked at it at the same time. It was Kang Jinwook who averted his gaze first. He didn’t miss the unsettled look in Han Soojin’s eyes.
The call ended, and soon after, a message arrived from the same person.
[Doctor, it’s me. I’m worried about the baby’s condition due to what happened yesterday, and I have a few questions, but it seems like you’re busy. Please contact me when you have a moment.]
The message was fairly long. Without a name, only a username, Han Soojin couldn’t tell who it was from right away.
But Kang Jinwook, from the pop-up that briefly appeared and disappeared, easily recognized who it was. It was, as they had just mentioned, Choi Sunwoo.
"Stop with the pheromones. This is also a form of blackmail."
Kang Jinwook sneered at Han Soojin as he spoke.
"Han Soojin, from now on, stay out of anything related to Choi Sunwoo. You don’t need to contact him."
Unlike before, Kang Jinwook’s tone had turned polite. But the content was clear—he was threatening her. He was saying that if she didn’t comply, there would be consequences.
"Are you trying to blackmail me?"
Han Soojin couldn’t hide her displeasure as she retorted.
"No. I don’t need to go that far. I’m just telling you to stop making unnecessary efforts."

Kang Jinwook’s pheromones once again pressed down on the room, and Han Soojin visibly trembled under the heavy pressure.
He briefly entertained the idea of squeezing her until she passed out, but he quickly withdrew the pheromones. He still needed to refrain from making a direct move on this doctor.
After all, she had been the one to take care of Sunwoo.
Of course, there would be no further contact between them. As soon as they left the examination room, Kang Jinwook would have Secretary Gwak handle the matter and remove her from the hospital.
Kang Jinwook picked up Han Soojin’s phone, which was sitting on the desk. Without hesitation, he threw it at the wall.
Smash!
With a loud noise, the phone shattered into pieces, scattering across the floor of the examination room.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!"
Unable to hold back, Han Soojin jumped to her feet.
"You should be thankful that I’m letting it end here. I’ve been respectful because of how well you’ve taken care of Sunwoo. Got it?"
Kang Jinwook glanced at Han Soojin emotionlessly. Since Sunwoo wasn’t there, he didn’t feel the need to use honorifics anymore. He didn’t feel guilty either.
If it were up to his temper, he would have thrown that woman, who had been hiding Sunwoo’s condition, like that phone. But he restrained himself, thinking that Sunwoo wouldn’t appreciate it if he found out.
If he had sent Sunwoo to a general hospital under the Taesung Group’s umbrella from the start, this troublesome situation would never have happened. He felt frustrated, thinking that if Secretary Gwak had handled it, Sunwoo’s condition wouldn’t have gone unnoticed at this nearby hospital.
"I’ll make sure there’s proper compensation for your damages."
Kang Jinwook coldly spoke as he turned and walked out of the room.
"Hey!"
Han Soojin called out, but he didn’t look back. Secretary Gwak, who had been waiting outside, nodded his head.
Since the door had been open, he had already understood the situation.
In the hallway, besides Secretary Gwak, there were several key figures from the hospital, including the director, all standing with tense faces. Kang Jinwook didn’t spare them a glance as he walked past them down the hallway.
"Mr. Jeonmu! Mr. Kang Jinwook!"
When Kang Jinwook ignored them and left, the director, who had turned pale, hurriedly followed him. It was only today that the director realized that Kang Jinwook had visited the hospital multiple times.
If he had known earlier, this incident wouldn’t have happened. Unfortunately, the conference had been scheduled for a month, which delayed the information.
During that time, something huge had happened at the hospital. The fact that Kang Jinwook had visited several times was shocking.
If they had known, they should have contacted him immediately! The director angrily scolded the hospital staff, but it was too late. The damage had already been done.
"Mr. Jeonmu, just a moment. Please, I need to talk to you..."
Despite the desperate call, Kang Jinwook didn’t stop walking. He knew that Secretary Gwak would handle the rest, and there was no need for him to worry.
He got into the car waiting outside and lay back in the seat to gather his thoughts.
What he had suspected was now confirmed. The faint but unmistakable pheromones from Sunwoo and the ultrasound photo stuck to his window at home.
Even though he had seen those two things, it took him a while to connect the dots. But gradually, everything started to come together in Kang Jinwook’s mind.
The fainted Sunwoo, the Sunwoo who had seemed sick after being discharged, the one who had wanted to quit his job, the two months he had misjudged as being a terminal condition, the diagnosis of stomach ulcers.
He was now sure, but still, he needed to confirm it. So Kang Jinwook instructed Secretary Gwak to find out exactly what state Sunwoo was in and to prepare. That’s why he came to Han Soojin. Then, he received the decisive message from Sunwoo.
[Doctor, it’s me. I’m worried about the baby’s condition due to what happened yesterday, and I have a few questions, but it seems like you’re busy. Please contact me when you have a moment.]
"Ha!"
Kang Jinwook let out a deep sigh. Sunwoo was pregnant. That was a fact that contained many undeniable truths.
Sunwoo was an Omega.
Sunwoo was carrying someone’s child.
Sunwoo had kept it hidden from him.
Kang Jinwook’s gaze darkened more than ever before.
