### Summary
The current chapter plunges the narrative into a deeply emotional and fearful state by juxtaposing a tragic flashback with a present-day medical crisis. The story pivots to the past, revealing the first meeting between Sihwa's parents: his giant alien mother, Sarah, and his terminally ill human father, Chae Si-in. This backstory has resonated powerfully with readers, who have become immediately attached to Si-in's gentle and endearing personality, mourning his predetermined fate. The flashback also provides a heart-wrenching context for Sarah's motivations, humanizing the antagonist and garnering her a degree of understanding from the audience. This poignant history is abruptly cut short by a return to the present, confirming the previous chapter's cliffhanger of Sihwa coughing up blood. The direct parallel between father and son has solidified the community's dominant and most dreaded theory: Sihwa has inherited his father's fatal genetic illness. This revelation has created immense anxiety over a potential tragic ending for the main couple, with reader comments filled with distress and fear for the protagonist's life. The tension is heightened by a prominent spoiler circulating among readers, which alleges that Sihwa will soon leave Earth with Sarah to seek off-world medical treatment, leading to a two-year time skip and a painful separation from Sohan.
