(I already commented it last chapter but since this conversation still going)
To ppl asking why the mom (and manhwa mother in general) run away without the kids: in Korea the sole custody usually stays with the dad, if she took the child she can be treated as a kidnapper legally.
I wear extremely sad real life stories about husbands that used their kids as a bargain chip to abuse the wives bc they knew she wouldn't be able to take the kids

I heard it from Korean women who was going through divorce, also from for foreigners who wants divorce.
There's a case going on right now in my country, bc a influencer (who is the same nationality as mine) who married a Korean man and move to live in his country. She basically documented his and his family abuse against her on TikTok. She wants to get a divorce but she still decided to stay bc she wouldn't be allowed near her children anymore.

Check out Choi Jin-Sil (actress). Had to search up facts. Seems like she did won but unfortunately died. But seems like S Korea is be giving favour to their 'men' when it comes to cross-culture marriage.
But facts aside, this so-called mother didn't even once saw her child from afar, not even once; to check for her well being. And that sick. Can't stand to check her all happy when not even once she has thought about meeting up w him after all these years (till now). Might change my mind if there's a backdrop to her reluctance.

In county like Asia including my country sadly the court is shit. I see many stories like these where even they tried take this case to court it takes them years even a decade but the case still not settled. The wives/mothers cried how they've wasted their thousands of money and times but still doesn't get their justice. It sucks but that's the reality, while I hate how some mother just leaves their child like that, I still understand where they're coming from
Oh shit I'm already crying
I think grandpa knows that the snake is keeping him alive (that's why he's so week), I think he will choose to die so mc can live with the snakes and their kids
