DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -38

He couldn't even be compared to the male lead, who'd at least come to comfort her. Though his methods were strange－saying things like you'll get used to pain! That's right, his words just then were consoling her. Was that why his expression was so weird? Why was the male lead comforting her, so odd!

Lisa's heartfelt rather tumultuous, as if the plot of the novel had completely gone off the rails. Right now, the male lead was supposed to be half hating, half attracted to the female lead and sending men out in all directions to chase her. Why was he wasting time in a place like this? Was it because the supporting male was injured, and he and the supporting male were the couples instead?

What a mess. She rubbed her head forcefully, feeling like she didn't have enough brainpower to handle this.

"Ah..." Because she moved her hand, her shoulder started hurting again. This was a troublesome injury!

Like this, she spent another day lying down before she could finally get up and walk around. Still, every step brought extreme pain, so all she could do was shuffle through a few circles in the room before someone came to support her into the prepared carriage. There was no way that such a large and luxurious carriage could fit into the back courtyard of the medical clinic, so when she raised her head and saw the courtyard gates dismantled, she couldn't help but feel daunted!

She finally saw the supporting male lead this time. His injury wasn't light either, but he could move about freely. Truly, martial arts practitioners were different. She still needed someone to help her walk out of the room.

When Taehyung saw Bai Lisa, he felt his heart clench. There were things he needed to talk about with her. If she revealed or purposely concealed something, chances were that Prince Jeon would sense it immediately. He walked towards her, a piece of paper hidden between two fingers. When he recalled how she had boldly given him the wrong gift before, he wondered whether he'd have the same luck. Or rather, he wondered whether he'd have the same courage she did.

"Is Madame Lisa's injury better?" This was the last chance he could take advantage of, while Jungkook was out deploying his men.

"It's already much better. What about Sir Kim?" Bai Lisa exhaled. He still has some heart after all!

"Just about completely well. We're returning to the capital together today. Though the road's not far, I still ask that Madame Lisa take care." He leaned forward a bit, only then realizing that it was difficult for the two to even touch.

"Many thanks for young sir's reminder," Madame Lisa unconsciously bent her back for a bow, forgetting she was injured. The sudden pain caused her to grunt softly, and Taehyung hastened to help her up. Their palms met through the fabric of their sleeves before they hastily broke apart. In that second, his heart seemed to have stopped beating.

Lisa's body also turned stiff, though she was quick to recover. She backed up a few steps very politely and prepared to climb into the carriage when she heard the male lead call out, "Wait."

She had just raised her leg, but her heart had already risen to her throat. Even Taehyung had frozen in place. He had already resolved himself; if anyone discovered anything, he'd take all the blame onto himself.

His and her gazes inexplicably met before both looked away. Why did this feel like some clandestine love affair? Bai Lisa felt encouraged after such a glance. At the very least, the supporting male lead hadn't run away from the fear of being found out. Psychologically speaking, people were less afraid when there were two of them shouldering something frightening together. At least, that was as far as her thoughts went. She'd originally had chills over the male leading finding out, but now she had slightly relaxed.
