UNCHAPERONED

The little boy's voice was extremely weak, with a hint of imperceptible numbness, similar to that of a puppet.

The Kim family members' expressions changed dramatically!

With a bang, the teacup in Old Kim's hand dropped. Everyone's throats appeared to be choked, and for a moment, no one could speak. The tender voice on the other end of the phone persisted, like the last words of a dying person. "Little Uncle, Kookie is cold and hungry... Kookie did not push anyone, but they did not believe me or listen to her... Dad asked Kookie to kneel outside and apologize, but she had done nothing wrong. Little Uncle Kookie is very cold. "Could you pick me up?" At the end of the sentence, the little boy's voice became weaker and weaker, almost like a murmur. The wind and snow on the other end of the phone continued to whistle, but the boy's tender voice came to an abrupt halt.

Jae-Hyuk finally reacted. He grabbed his phone and wished he could crawl into it. "Hello? Kookie! Kookie, where are you? Tell Little Uncle where you are."

There was no response from the other end of the line for quite some time. Old Master Kim stood up in a panic, and his stern expression faded. He yelled, "Quick, get someone to check the location of this phone number!"

...

He fainted before he could finish, and the phone fell into the snow. After a long time, Zhu Si-Ho arrived to retrieve his phone. When he saw him lying motionless in the snow, he raised his foot and kicked him. When Jungkook did not respond, he exclaimed angrily, "Dead?" "You are better off dead."

Four years ago, Zhu Si-Ho picked up a woman. The woman's clothes were in tatters, but he took her back to the apartment out of kindness, and she looked quite lovely after washing up. When he asked, she could not remember anything. He thought she was adorable, so he coaxed her for a long time, like a young man in love. He said that he wouldn't force her to be with him, and he took care of everything for her. Thinking of those things now, Zhu Si-Ho felt disgusted. She was a wandering beggar, and she might have slept with someone while she was traveling. Otherwise, why did not Jungkook resemble him at all? However, despite his suspicions, Zhu Si-Ho never conducted a paternity test because if he discovered that she was not his biological daughter, he would become a laughingstock and the most embarrassing man in Korea!

Zhu Si-Ho retrieved his phone and departed. He continued to make calls in the warm study. "Hello, President Min-Joon Ryu, this is Zhu Si-Ho. "Do you know anyone from the Kim family in Gangnam?"

"Hello, President Zhu!" Happy New Year! I heard you had some contact with the Kim family in Gangnam, correct? My company recently ran into some issues. Can I bother you...?

The wind and snow outside were getting stronger, and Jungkook was lying on the ground. Time passed slowly, and it would be dark soon. Jungkook was dizzy, with only a sliver of consciousness remaining, but he could not open his eyes no matter what. He had not cried since his mother's death. He never cried, no matter how much his father beat him or how much his new mother bullied him, but he suddenly felt the need to. He called his little uncle, but there was no answer on the other end of the phone, so his little uncle did not want him, right? No one liked him in this world. What about his mom? Would his mother hate him and reject him after he died?

Jungkook's lips were blue, and his small hands gripped the snow. "Mom, Kookie will not cry. "Kookie is a good boy, so please do not abandon him..."

The ground shook, and rumbling sounds were heard. Seven or eight black cars rushed over from outside the Zhu family's villa. The door to the first car opened, and a man in a black coat stepped out. He smashed open the Zhu family's door!

The snowstorm was fierce, and white snow covered Jungkook's young body. Jae-Hyuk looked around anxiously. He remembered Kookie saying over the phone that he was kneeling outside! His expression changed as he noticed an inconspicuous snow pile in the snow!

Jae-Hyuk rushed over, sweeping away the snow in a panic. He saw a small figure buried in the snow.

"Kookie?" Jae-Hyuk, hurriedly picked him up. After seeing Jungkook, he was certain that this was their Kim family's child! Because this expression was exactly the same as when his younger sister was young! Kookie was actually the child of their most cherished younger sister!
