“Is that so?”
“But out of the twins, only the one born later was sent to the adoption agency.
The other baby was taken by someone the director knew, saying they would adopt him.”
“Were they really twins?”
“That’s right.
I delivered them myself.
But unfortunately, the mother passed away just a few days after giving birth to the second child.
She was so pretty, but her body was incredibly weak.
Rumors about that incident spread, which is why the clinic ended up closing down.”
The mother passed away?
Then didn’t that mean his birth mother died after giving birth to him?
Min-jun’s eyes stung and his chest ached, but he gritted his teeth and held it in.
“Wait, if the mother passed away, shouldn’t you have looked for her family instead of just putting them up for adoption?”
“The mother was an orphan.
I remember that even when we asked who the father was, she just shed tears and wouldn’t tell us.
She didn’t have any other relatives either.”
Only then did he feel like he understood the situation.
“You said the other baby was taken by someone the director knew.
Do you know who that person was?”
“I don’t know who it was, but from what I remember, they came in a large car with a chauffeur.
They seemed to be from a very wealthy family.”
“Could I find the records regarding the mother and the babies?”
“Ah, no way.
It’s been twenty years since the clinic closed down; do you think any records would still be left?”
“Then would the director know?”
“She passed away, three years ago.
There was a car accident, and her husband passed away along with her.
Sigh… They didn’t have any children either, so the funeral hall was so empty…”
If even the director was dead, did that mean there was no longer any way to find out?
Min-jun suppressed his frustration and asked again.
“Do you know what happened to the child who went to the adoption agency?”
“I vaguely heard later that he was adopted to the USA… That’s all I know, young man.
But why?
Could it be that you…?”
“Thank you for your time.”
Min-jun didn’t answer the woman’s question; he placed the envelope on the table, stood up, and left the place.
At that moment, a certain possibility suddenly came to mind.
Then could it be… that Jang Min-jun was his twin brother?
They had the same date of birth, and even their faces were identical.
Furthermore, he was told that Jang Min-jun had been taken by a noble lady from an incredibly wealthy family.
