After a few weeks of bed rest, Chen Mu reported that Jennie is recovering fairly well and could begin doing basic exercises such as walking around and stretching. Lisa spoke to Chen Mu in his study room and informed him about the weird nightmares that Jennie had been having lately. Each time she woke from the nightmare, she trembled in fear and mentioned herself being in a dark place with some strange man.

Chen Mu: "Keep track of when she haves these nightmares and what she did during the day and see if there are any patterns or connections between what she does that may have led to the nightmares. Having her drink a cup of warm milk before she goes to sleep may help with her condition. There is also a chance that these nightmares came from her own consciousness. Though she doesn't have memories of anything, her body remembers the trauma leading her to sleep in distress. You need to make her relax more."

Lisa: "Would bringing her out more help her?"

Chen Mu: "It may help.. but you should also be careful. Don't forget there is someone out there wanting her life."

Lisa: "I know."

Chen Mu: "Oh, since her health is stabilizing, there's no need for the porridge meals -wink-"

Lisa:....."u did that on purpose didn't you?"

Chen Mu smirked :"I have noo~~~ idea what young master's talking about~ bye byeeee~"

After lunch, Lisa brought Jennie out for a walk. He held her hands and walked in the same pace as hers. During their walk, he talked about different rooms and interesting stories of objects around the house. Finally, they reached a red wine colored door with black carvings of different flowers on it. The door had a sense of elegance as each carving represented a different type of flower that symbolizes peace, beauty, and love.

Lisa chuckled as he looked at Jennie's reaction from recognizing the familiar flower carvings.

"These carvings are all based on what you liked. Surprised?"

Jennie nodded as her hands traced the flower designs on the door.

"Then, take a look on the other side of the door."

The pleasant fragrance from the garden increased as the door opened revealing a beautiful scene of roses, honeysuckle, sweet alyssum and other flowers. The view was very harmonic and breathtaking, making one forget their worries. Butterflies were dancing from flower to flower. Birds chirped and looked as if they were speaking to one another. Amongst the colorful garden were two chairs, a table with a tea set on it and a swing next to it.

Jennie's eyes widened as she stepped into the garden. Her expression immediately became a broad smile as she pulled Lisa towards the swings. Listening to her happy laughter, he smiled as he accompanied her to the swings. When she sat on the swing she turned towards Lisa with a dazzling smile and twinkles in her eyes asking him to push her while she rides the swing.

After accompanying her for the afternoon, he had an urgent meeting to attend. Before he left for work, he made sure to let the maids know to stay by Jennie's side in case she needs something.

*knocks*

"I'm going to leave for work now. I'll be back early to have dinner with you later."

"Okay~ I'll be waiting for you! Have a safe trip" she smiled happily before giving him a cheer to work hard.

... Do I have to go to work..? he wondered. With great difficulty, he finally left for work.

- Jennie's room-

After Lisa left, Jennie was alone and bored. She recalled when she first woke up and met him all the way till today. Everyday felt like a dream.
