Lisa looked at Kuma's body. How was it skinny? It had gotten even fatter. It ate a huge basin of dog food for every meal.

Once they were done eating dinner, the two of them left for the hospital.

At the entrance to the ward, however, they just happened to bump into Park Shin-Hye, who was emerging from the room with a food container.

When Park Shin-Hye saw Jennie, her eyes lit up in surprise. When she saw Lisa beside her, though, she gave a shudder.

For some reason, she truly feared Lisa. She had never spoken to Lisa before, but his face... It was not that stern-looking, but whenever he was not smiling, her heart would not stop shaking at the sight of him.

"Why are you here too?" asked Jennie in surprise.

"I tried to visit the Principal at the orphanage in the afternoon, but Teacher Yuan said the Principal was admitted to the hospital." Park Shin-Hye mentioned that Teacher Yuan did not tell her the details, since it was not exactly anything to brag about.

"I saw that Teacher Wang and Teacher Yuan were taking turns to accompany her, so they were definitely swamped. That's why I went back and asked your uncle to stew some soup, make some congee, and a little bit of noodles, just in case the soup and congee aren't filling enough," Park Shin-Hye explained. To accommodate for the Principal's teeth, they had cooked the noodles until they were completely soft before rinsing them with cold water, drying them, and setting them aside. If the Principal wanted to eat them, she just had to soak the noodles into the bone soup, and she would have a steaming hot bowl of soup noodles.

"It's all thanks to Madam Park." Teacher Wang laughed as she walked out of the room and welcomed the rest of them in. She then said to Park Shin-Hye, "Why don't you come back in and stay a little longer? After all, Jennie's here too."

Park Shin-Hye really wanted to stay, but she peeked at Lisa carefully, just in case he was angry and did not want to see her.

Lisa remained impassive, however. He followed Jennie for all these matters.

Jennie pulled a chair over for her to sit down. "Yeah, just sit for a bit. We can send you home later."

"Ah, okay!" Park Shin-Hye nodded profusely and happily, but she immediately grew uneasy. "N-No, I'd be troubling you. You should be resting more, so you shouldn't go so far for me."

"No worries. I'll just be sitting in the car, so how'd that be tiring?" said Jennie.

Teacher Wang took the fruits Jennie brought to the pantry. Lisa had arranged this room for the Principal, so naturally it was more than decent.

While there was a pantry, it only allowed for cutting and washing, with a microwave for reheating. There were no gas or induction stoves, in case those caused an accident.

"You're here at dinnertime? What about the restaurant?" Jennie asked.

"Thanks to Yeji, business has been getting better. Before, our customers were mostly the students and employees nearby, which meant that we were only busy at certain times. We didn't earn much, and we'd be especially busy at times. Now that Yeji's taken over, everything is perfectly organized. Aside from the regular peak hours, we provide delivery for the weekend and between-meal times too, so we have better business and more funds now. Yeji hired a waiter and a kitchen assistant. Our shop isn't big, so one waiter is enough. At the most, I chip in to help when we're especially busy. I don't have to do anything the rest of the time; I don't even have to clean the place anymore. Your uncle is only in charge of cooking in the kitchen, while the assistant handles the washing, plucking and cleaning of the vegetables. So now the two of us have plenty of free time.
