Jennie was staying in a single-patient ward, with the door facing the entrance to the corridor, at which a small water dispenser stood. Lee Jung Jae was standing right beside the dispenser. His grey shirt was somewhat wrinkled, and he looked like he hadn't slept at all the entire night.

Jennie was momentarily taken aback before recovering from her shock. She anxiously cried out, "Father, why are you here?"

Lee Jung Jae approached Jennie. "If not for the police coming over last night to ask about your condition, we wouldn't know you were in a car accident. Jenjen, why didn't you tell us?"

Since Jennie was wearing a neck brace, she could not lower her head. As a result, it was hard to conceal even the slightest reaction from Lee Jung Jae's eyes.

Face to face with Lee Jung Jae, Jennie didn't dare to be careless.

She put on a guilty look and mumbled, "I lost consciousness during the accident. My colleague sent me to the hospital. I was suffering badly from the effects of a concussion when I woke up and didn't have the energy to contact you guys."

"Moreover..."

Jennie bit her lips before guiltily continued, "Nanc's heart is failing, and she just tried to commit suicide. I feel that it is better for you and mother to accompany her."

Jennie spoke beautifully. She portrayed the perfect image of a considerate and kind-hearted daughter. There was no way Lee Jung Jae could reprimand her.

Jennie sounded very sincere, but suspicion circled Lee Jung Jae's heart.

Yesterday, the doctor at the Newbridge Hospital told him that when they arrived to take Jennie away, someone intercepted them. A bunch of people had whisked her away to the Armed Police Hospital.

Lee Jung Jae wanted to go seek the Armed Police Hospital then but was afraid of revealing his motive if he moved too quickly. As a result, he waited awhile before coming to visit.

Lee Jung Jae had been thinking about this the entire night.

He felt that someone was obstructing his actions from behind the scenes.

When he wanted to make his move on Irene, she suddenly regained consciousness and escaped the convalescent hospital with her whereabouts still unknown. When he decided to take Jennie's life, someone spirited her away.

Who was acting behind the scenes?

Was it the person who took Jennie away?

Or was it Jennie herself?

Lee Jung Jae wanted to see Jennie's true intentions under that calm facade. But her acting skills were just too good that even Lee Jung Jae could not find any fault with it.

Or was he overthinking things? Was everything just one big coincidence?

At this moment, Lisa had returned with a bag of daily necessities.

The door to the ward was not closed. Lisa wanted to just enter right then, but he noticed Lee Jung Jae standing in the middle of the room and so he paused. From where he was, he could hear the two of them talking.

The old fox was probing while the little fox was pretending. They were both masters at acting and putting on a fine performance.

The father-daughter duo ended their conversation, which was filled with all sorts of dark innuendos. Lee Jung Jae finally went over to Jennie's bedside to ask about her injuries. "Where are you hurt? What did the doctor say?"
