### Summary
The emotional fallout from the previous chapter intensifies as Gwon I-tae grapples with Rae-hwa's silent fury following his detached response to her heartfelt confession. His blunder is compounded by the introduction of a new antagonist, a blonde man identified by readers as Schmidt, who meddles in their relationship by revealing I-tae’s supposed plan to divorce Rae-hwa for her own safety. This external interference fuels reader frustration, with many condemning I-tae for his hypocritical behavior—pursuing intense physical intimacy while secretly planning to leave. While some readers defend Schmidt as a professional who views love as a liability, most see him as an unwelcome meddler who has now taken Rae-hwa with him for unclear reasons. Amidst this relational turmoil, a significant development in Rae-hwa’s traumatic past emerges. A painting, long attributed to her mother, is now believed to be Rae-hwa's own creation, suggesting her abusive stepfather was aware of her talent and had a deeper motive for destroying her hands. This revelation shifts the focus back to the core family mystery, even as the couple's "sick" dynamic is tested by internal miscommunication and external threats.
