DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -28

Jungkook had already stalked off in a rage. His own woman was concealing a matter for someone else’s sake. Having spent long years in the army, he had a clear distinction between right and wrong as well as enemy and ally. He knew the value of doing great deeds. Allies also never lied to or kept things from one another. This was primarily why he’d reacted so badly.

However, after seeing his mother, he calmed down. The harem was different from the battlefield, and she was also not one of his soldiers. Also, for someone who believed in him so much, logically speaking, she wouldn’t be hiding things from him, unless…

Just as he stood wrapped in doubt, Taehyung wandered over with some others, laughing with them, “We’ve seen the Old Madame, and my mother plans to leave tomorrow. What about you?”

“We also plan to do the same. It was very crowded today; why don’t we go back together tomorrow?” Jungkook replied, yet his brows didn’t unfurrow.

How could Taehyung not tell that he had something on his mind, and cautiously probed, “Is that mistress of yours very badly injured?” As he spoke, he dismissed the people by his side. Even Jungkook’s people retreated, suddenly finding other things to do or speak about in private.

“She’s… fine!” Because they were friends, Jungkook didn’t consider too much before telling him the truth.

“Oh? I never would’ve thought that that cousin of Miss Chou’s would be such a discourteous person, not just helping his cousin fool around, but even injuring Mistress Lisa,” He saw Jungkook go rigid before he could finish speaking, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.

“It was him? How did he injure… that woman?” Not having thought that his friend would know what had transpired, he halted and asked.

Jungkook was stunned, as he instead asked, “Yesterday night, didn’t you hear?”

Long Heng was dazed for a moment, only now knowing that he was as present when she had suffered injury yesterday night.

It was only that due to being so agitated, the circumstances had not entered his ears. His heart now panicked as he coughed lightly, “I was rushing to return at that time and didn’t manage to hear things.”

Taehyung didn’t know what had happened to his friend the previous night, but he still narrated the previous day’s course of events. After consolidating everything he’d just heard and be behaviour not hard for Jungkook to guess that that woman had concealed her injuries completely for the sake of Miss Chou’s reputation.

If the matter of her and her cousin escaping in the private spread, her name would be destroyed. Running away from marriage and eloping were two completely different concepts!

“She, she acts of her being accidentally injured by an outside male for the sake of Miss Chou?” Quite foolish, but also very loyal.

Jungkook had not once considered that loyalty might be a trait found in women. For some reason, he elf admiring her a little. Since he had misunderstood her, he should find a way to make up for it. Long Heng called for a pageboy, wanting to say something, yet swallowed his words when he discovered that his friend was still here. Instead, he said, “Go and see whether Mistress Lisa has recovered, she still hasn’t paid her respects to the old madame yet!” Pay the hell respects, she’s already injured. However, he couldn’t retract the words he had just said.

How would Jungkook not understand what he was thinking? Looking at his friend’s stiff expression, he knew that he shouldn’t stay here any longer. He hurriedly said, “I also have to accompany my mother to recite scriptures. I’ll leave first.”
