The Divorced Man Has Returned - The Divorced Man Has Returned chapter 94
#94. It may sting.
The trip with Jena felt very short.
Of course, objectively, 1 night and 2 days was not that long, but it felt like an hour passed so quickly.
When I got home, my parents, who didn’t know anything, worried about my health.
“Okay. I’m really fine I’m tired, so I’ll take a break.”
After explaining to my parents that my body had recovered with all kinds of words, I lay in bed and checked my phone.
For the time that I went on a trip with Jena, I wanted to focus on Jena completely, so I was deliberately not checking the delayed contacts.
[Yoo Shihwa (3)]
[Yun Ha-rin (15)]
Up to this point, the parts I thought might be possible to some extent.
But this…
[Lee Ji-eun (124)]
Did I see something wrong?
I turned the power off and on, wondering if the phone might have a bug, and I started to get scared at the number of notifications that still didn’t change.
Of course, compared to her other wives, Lee Ji-eun had been away from me for a long time.
I expected that there would have been a few texts saying hello, but over 100…
Swallowing her saliva, I took a breath and pressed her name.
The first half was pretty similar to what I expected.
[Master. Are you in good shape?]
[Does it hurt a lot?]
[What is a healer?]
It’s just a daily message that anyone can send.
I looked down the scroll.
[…Isn’t there something wrong?]
[Please reply something.]
[Where are you now?]
It seemed that I was worried a lot when there was no reply.
And let’s go down one more time…
[She asks Jena, but she says she doesn’t know. Even if I ask the academy, they say they can’t tell me it’s student personal information. You went to see a real healer, right?]
[Where did you really go…]
You worried a lot…
I thought there was no point in reading any more, so I just called her number.
It has been 5 seconds since the call button was pressed.
[Hello?]
[Hello!]
I had no choice but to remove my phone from my ear for a moment at the excessively loud voice.
[Ah. Uh. Ji Eun-ah. How have you been doing?]
[How are you? How have you been?]
A voice that sounds like a lot of anger just looking at it.
[I haven’t been able to reply for too long. Sorry.]
[You thought you went to a strange place like a quack and your organs were stolen!]
Actually, you were the one who was exploited by magical powers and died by the Sulwhasoo.
[No, no. The aftereffects of treatment remained for a long time, so I couldn’t come to my senses for a while.]
[…Is it okay now?]
It was difficult to give her a confirmation, but I told her lies to reassure her that she was going to meet her of her teacher tomorrow in her Jena.
[Uh. Maybe you’ll be surprised when you see me again.]
[Isn’t it surprising that you don’t have a single kidney?]
…I think the author still thought I had been kidnapped.
[It’s not like that. I really recovered a lot.]
[Then I’m glad. I didn’t really get any contact, so I was very concerned.]
[I’m sorry about that. Instead, when I return to the academy, I will really take the time to guide you properly.]
[Do you know how many times that sound is now?]
…I’m sorry. But I also have to fix this.
[Really. Instead, I’ll teach you one awesome technique.]
If only her body returned to normal, she would be able to show her these and other skills and let them know.
[…It’s a real promise.]
[Uh. Really.]
[I see. Then take care of your health and see you at the academy.]
[Uh. Thanks for your concern.]
After hanging up the phone, I took a deep breath.
Lee Ji-eun, who was the target of Sulwhasoo.
Maybe she was now safer than before.
Because the target of their prania flowers may have increased the probability of them being Bonamana, Nana, or Sihwa.
The people I need to contact now are Harin and Sihwa…
I had to pay the price for the silent dive.

“…Let’s go. Choi In-wook.”
Jenna reached out to me.
A place I’ve been to before.
The greenery in the mountains was thick as if to tell that summer was approaching.
Even though I came for the second time, the mountain road just felt unfamiliar.
Last time I came here at sunset.
There must be at least one spot I can remember…
There was no such section at all.
I quietly followed Jena’s back up the ridge.
And the entrance we arrived after a long hike.
This time, unlike the last time when the bell rang, Goeui came out to meet us first.
“Yes. Yena The items delivered were well received.”
Her old man stroking her beard looked at her with a happy expression on her face.
“…Not what I was looking for.”
“Still, I never really thought that you would get prania flowers.”
Even if I had been in his position, I would have been surprised if the children who didn’t have a proper rank had saved the prania flowers.
Harin’s wealth and Sihwa’s power.
It was a material that could be obtained because of the aid that was close to the peak in each field.
“Come in this way.”
The place he guided us this time was a different building from the one we had entered before.
The exterior looked similar to a traditional Korean house, but the moment I stepped inside, I felt as if I had entered a laboratory under the GW company.
The bluish wall reminiscent of an operating room.
Perfect hygiene.
The ghost laid me on the bed in the middle.
“…Yena.”
Yena was also aware of the existence of this place, so unlike me, she didn’t look very surprised.
“Why.”
“…I don’t think my organs are gone or something like that?”
I remembered the conversation I had with the author yesterday.
Actually, he is Jena’s teacher and he has the title of ‘mysterious doctor’, but the state-of-the-art operating room in the middle of the valley looked very suspicious.
Jena suddenly tilted her head as if she was talking about something.
“Are you scared?”
“I might have eaten some without you.”
Jenna laughed at my words and stroked my hair.
“Master may seem eccentric, but you know that there are no talented people in this field.”
Jena’s tone seems to be reassuring.
“It will be fine. Master is a person who clearly draws a line for what he cannot fix.”
In fact, the reason why the ghost’s reputation grew so much was that most of the patients who visited him recovered to the point of being completely cured.
If there is no hope, the patient itself was not accepted at all, so such reviews were circulating.
“Come on. Then let’s get started.”
Wearing a white costume that is a little different from the normal surgeon’s operating clothes, the ghost is a treasure we risked our lives for.
I started injecting magical power into the flower of Prania.
A dark green energy radiated from his body.
Even though I often worked with promising healers, this was the first time I felt this way.
As he beckoned, his magical energy began to seep into his entire body’s magic circuit.
As if a small thread passed through a long, narrow tunnel, the magical powers of the monstrous were all over my body.
“It’s Jena.”
When Goeui called her name, Jena, who was waiting behind her, calmly began to assist him even though there were no instructions.
When Jena’s magical energy was also injected into Prania’s flower, the flower started to emit a brilliant blue light.
Even if you only looked at it with the naked eye, you could see that there was a tremendous amount of magical power in it.
The monster, who touched my pulse with two fingers, once again scanned my entire body with magical power and grabbed the flower with the other hand.
“It may sting a little.”
My heart is not yet ready to be called a warning…!
He put the prania flower into my heart.
Due to the magical powers of mysticism, the flower began to quickly blend into my body from the heart.
“Aaaaah!”
Unable to bear the pain, I screamed loudly.
The magic circuit seemed to burn.
It feels like you’re forcing a large object into a hole that doesn’t fit.
Magic power so intense that it could be called violent flowed into my body.
“Hold on.”
Jena and Goeui each stood opposite me and tried to somehow capture the magical power of the fluctuating flower.
But it was not an easy process.
I almost fainted from the pain several times, and Goeui and Jena helped me to come to my senses somehow.
He emphasized again and again that my body can fully recover only if I control this magical power without losing consciousness.
How much time has passed?
Actually, it may not have been that long, but for me it was like an eon.
The three of us were sweating profusely.
A lot of moisture had escaped from my body to the extent that the bed was all wet, and the two people who helped me were also breathing heavily because they were exhausted.
“Ha… Ha ha… How about it? Did I say I can?”
Gyeui asked me, wiping sweat with his sleeve.
I wanted to give a cool answer, but I couldn’t speak, so I just gave him a thumbs up.
…It was a really long journey.
