"Does it hurt anywhere else?" Lisa's voice was mixed with sleep-induced hoarseness.

Jennie shook her head. "No."

After this, she melted herself into his embrace, closed her eyes, and went back to sleep.

Lisa smiled and kissed her gently before resting his chin on the top of her head and closing his eyes as well.

It was Monday, so Lisa and Jennie left the old house together to go to work. Their workplaces were near to each other, so they did not need to worry about detouring.

Jennie called Teacher Yuan on the way to work. She had already returned to the orphanage while Teacher Wang took up the next shift to accompany the old principal in the hospital.

Teacher Yuan briefly described the old principal's condition. "The old principal is quite well. She's sleeping well at night and is quite energetic in the mornings. I asked the doctor about the transfer when he came to check on us and he said that it shouldn't be a problem."

Jennie was relieved. Then, she made another call to Teacher Wang.

"Lisa will send someone to complete the transfer request later today, so you don't need to worry about it. Just follow the representative that Lisa will send."

"Okay. You can relax, Jennie, we'll call you the second there's anything important. Your health should be your priority, so you don't need to come as nothing's going on here." Teacher Wang said with a smile. "When the old principal saw you calling me, she reminded me to ask you to stop tiring yourself out from traveling so frequently."

"Okay." Jennie acknowledged and hung up the phone.

They had spent the morning in the old house. Because of Jennie's pregnancy, Old Lady Manoban felt that it was important to take matters into her own hands. Their breakfast was more lavish than usual, and she was made to eat at a slower pace.

Although she was in a rush, she did not dare to eat hurriedly under Old Lady Manoban's watch.

Lisa knew that she was anxious though, so he said, "Grandma, we're going to be late at this rate."

Old Lady Manoban glared at him. "You're the boss of Manoban Group. Who'll dare reprimand you if you're late? Jennie's working in KTJ, and her boss is Jisoo. If he dares to say anything about this to Jennie, then immediately I'll call him. He still doesn't have a partner, right? I'll chat with his mother about this."

Lisa, "..'

Jennie, "..."

Jisoo, "Achoo!"

Jennie honestly felt that she was not doing Jisoo any favors by working in his company.

Thus, the pair stopped rushing, ate their meal slowly, and left the house under Old Lady Manoban's loving watch.

The two of them had not felt lonely when they, together with Aunt Chen, were the only ones living here. After all, they had gotten used to it. After Lisa and Jennie had moved into the Family Mansion, they got a sense of just how much livelier a household could be.

They struggled to get used to the silence after the two of them left for work.

Old Lady Manoban knew that they would not be living here permanently, but she was still kind of bummed out. She would be so lonely after the two of them moved out!

Aunt Chen tidied the house up, cut some fruits and plated them alongside some nuts. Sensing Old Lady Manoban's boredom, she struck up a conversation, "The old principal was hospitalized last night. We still don't know the specifics or the cause, though."
