Beauty and the Beast (Book 2)

CHAPTER 69

JENNIE POV

It's been a month since Lisa has been lying in a comatose. The bluish wounds on his face had disappeared, leaving behind torn wounds and stitch marks on his head that could be seen because the bandages had been removed. Some of the tools have also been removed, and after being allowed, every day I clean Lisa. I wiped his face and entire body that was not bandaged and changed his clothes. Of course, I won't allow anyone else to do it. At first, I was very careful, but over time I got used to it and became more proficient.

I hope that in a few days, he will come to his consciousness because when he at comatose before in LA, he woke up the next month.

"Baby..." I held his hand as usual after I cleaned him and changed his clothes. "It's been a month, hurry up and wake up. Don't you miss me? Because I miss you so much," I said, kissing his hand and staring at him for nearly 10 minutes. Since there's no sign that Lisa will wake up, I take a deep breath and blink to chase away my tears. 'I have to be strong' I said to myself.

The first day after exactly a month Lisa was comatose, our hopes are very high, we hope that Lisa will regain consciousness soon. We all waited in Lisa's room as usual.

Jisoo and Rosie always came early and stayed the whole day. They only come home when they need to clean up. They don't stay here. It was when they got home that I cleaned up Lisa.

Irene and Seulgi also come every day but not as early as Jisoo and Rosie, but like the two of them, Irene and Seulgi will come home usually at midday together with Jisoo and Rosie.

Mom comes almost every day after work when she doesn't have anything to do until evening. Usually, she brings my dirty clothes and brings new ones along with other things I need while staying at the hospital.

Dad Marco comes every morning, noon, and night on the sidelines of his busy life to take care of this and other matters, but I suspect he wants to give me more time. He entrusted Lisa's care to me. I'll give him updates.

Mr Yang also comes every day, I even suspect he is also staying at the hospital somewhere because he was after all my bodyguard and Lisa's before. He came in to visit Lisa every afternoon. He always updates me about the progress of this case. So I know that the police and courts are trying to solve this problem quicker. Likewise with the media outside. Yup, they found out that Lisa was being treated at the Seoul International Hospital and that caused the front door of the hospital to be full of media at the beginning of Lisa's whereabouts became known, 3 weeks after Lisa was in a coma, 2 weeks after Jaejoong's arrest and the case was revealed. But not for long, of course. The Hospital security, assisted by the police and Manoban Group security forces, created a perimeter for the media so they would not interfere with the Hospital operation and for the comfort of other patients. A representative from Manoban Group, a spokesperson, gave several official statements for them to calm the media. Currently, a week after the news of Lisa's existence was revealed, there were not many reporters gathered as before because the Manoban Group had also promised to provide regular updates.

Meanwhile, I never left Lisa any single day. I stayed in the hospital without even leaving. Don't even come out of Lisa's room. My food is always delivered to the room by the nurse on duty. Direct orders from doctor Lee, the director of the Hospital. Literally, for a month I lived here without going home at all. I don't want to leave Lisa's side. No. I'll be waiting for him to wake up.
