Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman || LK Adaptation

After a long while of staring, Jungkook finally accepted that this child was serious, and this was not just a passing fancy.

After knowing each other for so long, he was well aware of her temperament. If she believed in something, she wouldn't give up on it so easily. She was very stubborn, to the point it was distressing.

The cold stern eyes softened slightly, and he backed out from the room-closing the door softly as he instructed Mrs. Zhang to stay silent so that Lisa could work in peace. He then proceeded downstairs with a softer gait than usual.

When Lisa came down, Jungkook was sitting by the window, holding a small ball in his hand. He would throw the ball out randomly after a while, and Haha would shoot off to chase after it, bringing it back to his feet-its tail wagging in delight.

Strangely, Jungkook's senses were sharp, as well as his gaze, and his whole body exudes a chilling aura. Sometimes, Lisa still felt some apprehension while in the same vicinity as him, but it seems that Haha was getting less afraid of him as time passed.

"You're down? Just in time for dinner then," Jungkook said when he saw her, placing the ball on the glass table and heading towards the kitchen to call for dinner.

Haha ran straight to Lisa's side, looking up to her with its big, round, shimmering eyes. Lisa's heart melted at the sight. Haha had been in a rich environment for almost a month. Adding on the fact that Mrs. Zhang would bring it for grooming every other day, Haha had completely transformed into a good pedigree dog. The fur on Haha was smooth and silky, like snow, which made people unable to resist the urge to touch it.

Dogs were intelligent creatures, they understood who was good to them, and it was precisely because of the occasionally kind gestures from the usually cold Jungkook that made Haha like this.

Lisa scooped him up in her arms, and stumbled a little at the weight. "Haha, if you gain another few pounds, I won't be able to carry you like this anymore."

Haha whimpered pitifully, glancing up at her, widening his already big, innocent eyes.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending to look so pitiful." Lisa scratched his ears, and seeing that dishes had been brought out, she let Haha down as she went to the kitchen to wash her hands.

Lisa would take Haha out for a few laps every day after dinner, but Jungkook had called for her today.

He looked at her, staring into her eyes-his expression solemn. "Why did you suddenly take an interest in medical studies?"

She had the talent in the medical field, but he was still worried. Among the people he knew, there were a few families that had ventured into medicine. Those people have been busy since they were a child to adult, going through mountains of books since a young age. Once they went into college, in addition to laboratory experiments, there were also theory classes. From time to time, they were also required to take up internships. Once they became doctors, they got even busier, and there was little time to rest. Sometimes, they would even be pulled away to attend to emergencies with just a phone call.

The profession of a doctor was good and all, and it was a job. But when things go wrong, the public wouldn't hesitate to throw their hurtful opinions at you.

In all fairness, it was not really a flattering profession to take up.

Thinking about how Lisa was usually quite laid back, Jungkook felt he had to properly discuss this issue with her.

"This is not something I took up on a whim, I just hope to have the ability to help my friends and family. I have the talent, right?" Lisa touched the bracelet on her hand unconsciously, thinking of Naeun and Soobin who were still in the intensive care unit. Both of them had looked to her like they were looking at a small sun. How could she let their lives end, when it had barely even started?
