However, the two once again met at Choi Dong-euk’s funeral where he found out that her condition had relapsed. She then wonders if he killed Choi Jin-tae because of her which gets her stirred, however, she is further shocked when Sang-yoong tells her about what Myung-joon has done to Ro-hee.
She does not believe this and denies it with everything. The Sang-yoon asks if she is connected to the kidnapping in any way which she once again denies with full confidence, bringing the interrogation to an end.

Right then a call arrives and upon picking it a woman’s voice flows as it instructs them on how to send the money to them. However, Jayden is not ready to give up so soon, especially after confirming that the voice is not Hye-eun’s because his men had been following her. Right then the voice sends a social media link to give him a preview of what would happen if he defied her, thus, he has no choice but to give in.
They also hear the voice of Ro-hee screaming from the other end of the call which leaves them speechless as Ro-hee is still under their watchful eyes. Thus, Jayden has no choice but to adhere to the request and get rid of this nuisance. Meanwhile, Mo Eun who was on the other end of the call also breathes a sigh of relief and goes back to treating her patients.
