Dilemma

93.

Jungkook merely saw Lisa's body turned limp before he could even respond. She actually fell backward in an erect manner while facing upwards.

Shocked, Jungkook gasped, "Lisa! Lisa..."

...

Lisa was unaware of how she had gotten into the car and returned to the Jeon household. She did not seem to know the details of the things that happened along the way.

She knew even less about the major reorganization of the prison in An Xian. Liu Sankui received a transfer order the very same day to be sent to guard a lighthouse on an island as part of his contribution in protecting the country...

A few prison guards were dismissed from their jobs and the Yuan Family ordered them to leave Luo Hai within three days.

The other female prisoners who had abused her were given extended sentences and heavier punishments.

When Sister Scar's family discovered that she had offended the Jeon Family of Luo Hai, they were too afraid to even fart. After sending her to the hospital, they never dared to show their faces again.

All of these affairs were handled within a mere two to three hours.

...

Lisa discovered that she had already returned to Hibiscus Garden when she woke up.

Devoid of any strength, her body laid on the warm bed.

The clothes on her entire body were soaked with sweat after she fainted. She felt sticky and uncomfortable.

The smell of fragrant incense permeated through the air and calmed the atmosphere. Lisa moved her arms, suddenly arousing Mina who was sitting beside her and dozing off.

"Young Mistress, you're awake? Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat!"

Lisa waved her hand and gestured Mina  to come over before she quietly asked, "Where's Young Master?"

Mina who was somewhat at a loss then mumbled, "After he came home, Young Master angrily went to Upper Mansion..."

Anxiety filled Lisa's mind. She crawled up from the bed but could only feel her head spinning while her body was uncontrollably weak.

This was probably caused by those horrifying flashbacks and the reawakening of those traumatizing memories. The tight nerve in her brain was suddenly agitated by those people, Lisa's mental state became disturbed while her body was unable to tolerate it as well.

Seeing that Lisa was still trying to stand despite nearly falling, Mina became extremely frantic and cried out, "Young Mistress, please don't simply move. Young Master told me to take proper care of you before he left. He said that you have to eat something first as soon as you wake up!"

Lisa shut her eyes and panted before asking, "How long has Young Master been gone?"

"It's been an hour already."

"Help me get up and let me go see him..." ordered Lisa.

Mina remembered the grave look on Young Master's face when he carried Young Mistress home and rushed towards the bedroom on the second floor.

After some time, the family doctor came over and briefly examined the mistress and said that she was merely agitated. It was not a serious problem but she needed to rest. Young Master angrily left after that.

Despite working in Hibiscus Garden for two years, Mina had never seen Jungkook going to Upper Mansion in that state.

Old Mistress truly adored him. Whenever Jungkook visited Upper Mansion, he would first take a shower and change his clothes before going over in an enthusiastic mood to show his respect.

Indeed, today was the first time he behaved in this manner.

Mina who had yet to understand the real situation at that time was so frightened that she withdrew to the corner of the wall and stared at her mistress in hopes that she would wake up fast.

However, she had not expected that her mistress would actually insist on going to Upper Mansion even though she was so weak when she woke up. The girl was suddenly stunned from fear because she was worried that Jungkook would blame her for not properly completing her duties upon his return.

"Young Mistress, you can't go like this. Something will definitely happen to you in your current state!"

Although Mina did not know what exactly had happened, she guessed that it was related to her mistress' illness by observing Young Master's reactions.

Lisa did not want to argue with the girl. She struggled and got up. As she looked into the mirror to tidy her hair, she noticed that her complexion was indeed terrifyingly pale.

She changed into a light yellow low-neck sweater and wrapped herself in a plain coat. She ignored Mina's objections and went to Upper Mansion.
