That is just fucked up. I'm genuinely surprised Taekyung decides to drop the case even if it's concerning his adoptive mother because I thought he was the kind of prosecutor who wants to get to the bottom of everything and have justice served. It's a little disappointing after all this time (and he's even letting her run for government knowing she's most likely corrupt) and now I have a better idea as to why Hee-seo did what he did. Maybe Taekyung just ends up stuck in denial and doesn't want to accept what she did and the fact that she most likely adopted him specifically because of Jeong-Ae.
Dang it, it didn't hide anything

From what I understood from the raws, the MC won't pursue the case since his mother begged him, reason being she was going to die soon of cancer. So the MC decided to just leave the ML since he prob thought he didn't deserve him or something along those lines. The ML snapped and stabbed the MC. Fast forward a few years. The MC survived, the ML had gone missing, and the mother was miraculously cured from cancer and is now running for some major government position. Then MC and ML will meet and we will finally see the events that happened in chapter 1.
