When Lalisa woke up the next morning, Jungkook was still there. She yawned blearily, smiled at him and rubbed her eyes, asking, “You’re still here?”

Jungkook grunted in response and gave her a good morning kiss before going to the bathroom to fetch water for her to wash her face. He said, “I’ll be going to the capital today and then to North Europe. It may take me several days. Stay in the hospital and don’t get yourself hurt again, understand?” He nagged as if he were Lalisa’s father.

Lalisa nodded and looked at him. “Why are you going to North Europe? For a market survey? I remember Jeon’s International Group doesn’t have any businesses in North Europe?” When Grandpa asked her to manage the company, she had taken advantage of her position to check the regions where Jeon’s International Group had businesses. If Jungkook appeared in a region, then she would not go there.

Empire Group had a branch in North Europe, but she remembered that Jeon’s International Group didn’t.

Jungkook frowned slightly as Lalisa asked this question and then he answered in a low voice, “A trivial matter. I’ll tell you when I get back, and if everything goes well, I’ll introduce you to two of my friends.”

Lalisa raised an eyebrow. Jungkook’s friends? It turned out that he had other friends besides those silver-spoon kids in City A that grew up with him?

“What friends?” Lalisa was very curious. Jungkook’s friends? Did he mean the fair-weather type friends?

Jungkook wrung out the towel, cleaned Lalisa’s face with it and answered, “Damon-and-Pythias friends. I was sent abroad around the age of five and only came back to stay home for about ten days in summer and winter vacations every year. I came back home for high school when I was 15 years old or so.” With that, Jungkook deeply looked at Lalisa and said jokingly, “So, you should thank God that I came back. Otherwise, where could you have found a man who spoils you like me?”

“Okay, okay,” Lalisa replied to Jungkook with a smile and then said, “Just go to see my grandpa. Please check his body carefully. I’m worried about him.”

Hearing this, Jungkook immediately nodded sternly. “You should also take care of yourself. I don’t want to hear that you got hurt again, okay?”

Lalisa nodded. Jungkook tidied up her ward again before calling Little Five and leaving the room.

On her side, Yeri was sleeping when she was awakened by her cellphone and she suddenly sat up. Perhaps because she had a nightmare, or the weather was too hot, her forehead was full of sweat. She stroked her chest and attempted to calm down before reaching for the phone to answer it, while turning over to get up to drink water in the kitchen.

“Have you found it?” Yeri put her cellphone on her shoulder and fixed it with her cheek while pouring water for herself. The other side said something. She held the phone with one hand and drank water with the other, her face gloomy. After quite a while, she snorted and sneered, “Okay, forget it. I don’t want to waste any time to get that kind of trash out of jail. She just can’t do anything right!”

She hung up the phone, looking angry. She truly hadn’t expected that Min Lisa to be so sophisticated as to sweep Jungkook off his feet in such a short period of time and put that small-time actress in jail so easily. It seemed that she had to be careful when dealing with this Min Lisa in the future.

As she was thinking, a vicious gleam flickered across Yeri’s eyes. Min Lisa… I’ll definitely let you know what you will suffer trying to steal Jungkook from me. I’ll definitely make you remember this lesson for the rest of your life!

Lalisa, who was still lying in the hospital bed, sneezed and rubbed her nose. She complained to Yeji who was peeling an apple for her, “Mom, someone must be saying something bad about me behind my back!”
