"I understand," she murmured. "Thanks for the reminder."

Ji Yuhan simply nodded before returning his attention to his own delicacies.

As soon as she left the filming set, she headed straight to the hospital to visit her grandfather.

Spending time with him always brought her some peace, though a lingering thought remained in the back of her mind.
