Kai was sulking in his bed because of Ruby Jane's video.

"She did have a will in America with the help of her lawyers. If one year later the court rules that Madam is dead, all her fortune will be taken away from you. If we had known this earlier, we should have brought Madam back earlier. No matter how much you dislike Madam, it's better than becoming a beggar," Mr. Lee told Kai who didn't get up on his bed. 

"Yeah, let's just bring Ruby Jane back. Isn't Ruby Jane still alive?" Kai excitedly said.

"But chairman, you pretended that you don't know her previously," Mr. Lee responded. "I'm dead," Kai said in frustration. 

"Chairman, it's not all over. If we put the blame to Lisa Manoban who is taking care of Madam now, what do you think will happen?" Mr. Lee interestingly asked. "Put the blame on Lisa Manoban?" Kai curiously asked.



Lisa and Jennie were walking on the street after buying the coat. "You really have a very sharp eyes, only picked out the most expensive one," Lisa thought as she glanced on Jennie who was checking the coat she wore.

"Lisa Manoban, this warm feeling is really great. I like the color too. Seems likes the color that I like before," Jennie happily said.

"Jennie, do you really not remember anything from before? Nothing at all? Not even a bit?" Lisa asked. "Yeah. After remembering your face, I can't remember anything else," Jennie truthfully answered.

"Why do you only remember my face?" Lisa asked. "Isn't it obvious? You told me before that I liked you," Jennie replied.

"That's just..." Lisa uttered and was cut off.

"Lisa Manoban, if I regain my memory, will I like you again?" Jennie curiously asked which made Lisa stopped from walking.

"Huh?" Lisa uttered. "If I ever regain all of my memory, will I like you again?" Jennie asked again. "Jen, you will know the answer when you regain your memory," Lisa stated.



Lisa, Jennie, and their dog Hank arrived home.

"I'll be back late tonight. Take good care of the kids," Lisa told Jennie. "Where are you going?" Jennie asked. "I'm going to scrub the lighthouse. Why? Do you want to go too?" Lisa asked back. "You're asking me if I want to go with you in the no-man's island again? That place is cold, tiring, and so irritating," Jennie whispered.

"Okay wait," Jennie demanded. "Forget it. Just stay home. Happy? Just take good care of the kids," Lisa said and left. 



"The weather isn't too good today. Go with me tomorrow instead," Jisoo told Lisa while preparing the things they needed. "We must finish our work while there are boats around. It'll cost a lot for us to rent boats," Lisa replied as she picked up the paints she'll be using.

Somi was about to knock on the office's door when she heard Jisoo talking to Lisa. "Aren't you bringing Jennie along?" Jisoo asked. "From now on, I will not ordering Jennie around. Although I can't take good care of her before she regains her memory, I will not order her around anymore," Lisa answered. "Yeah, it's right to think that way. From another perspective you are Jennie's benefactor actually. She's lost her memory and there's nowhere for her to go," Jisoo responded. "What benefactor are you talking about? There's still more paint outside right?" Lisa changed the topic and went outside the office with Jisoo.

Somi decided to go home after hearing Jisoo and Lisa's conversation. "That woman lost her memory and has nowhere to go? That's why Lisa took her in," Somi said happily to herself.



"That's right. This matter will be settled if we put the blame on Lisa Manoban. Because of Lisa Manoban, I was not able to bring Ruby Jane back," Kai stated. "Chairman, you'll only be guilty of misunderstanding Madam and Lisa Manoban. Wouldn't this do?" Mr. Lee responded. "Yeah, that will do. But how are we going to make her believe this?" Kai asked feeling uncertain."We can't say it for sure now. We didn't acknowledge her a couple of times right?" Mr. Lee interestingly asked. "That's right. It's not just once or twice that we've met," Kai sadly said. "But, if we find the right timing, Madam should be able to understand," Mr. Lee encouraged Kai.



Jennie went outside the house to hang some laundry on the line. "Why is the weather so crappy today?" Jennie said to herself as she looked at the dark skies and strong winds were blowing. "Lisa Manoban, you should be fine right?" She worriedly thought.

Evening came and the rain was pouring hard. Jennie watched news in the TV. "Everyone might be saying, how could there be typhoons when it's still early autumn? But all scary typhoons from the past years happened during this period. This time is different. The wind is more worrying that the rain," reported by Kim Seung Hwan.

"Aunt Jennie, what is this?" Dahyun asked showing a book but Jennie was more focused on the TV.

"The typhoon which started since yesterday has caused two persons to go missing from the island. From this moment onwards, the eastern and southern seas show signs of strong winds. This time around, the typhoon is mainly affecting the southern shores. From today onwards, the southern shores will experience heavy rainfall. The last time, I could still get through on the no-man's island," another news report was shown on the television. 

Jennie quickly grabbed the telephone while looking at the tv and dialed Lisa's number. "How come I can't get connected this time?" Jennie worriedly thought. Suddenly, there was a noise in the front door. "Lisa Manoban!" Jennie excitedly called out and went to the door.

Jisoo and her mom arrived to tell Jennie that the ship Lisa took has not returned yet. "Then, Lisa Manoban..." Jennie said more worried. "Perhaps the ship wasn't able to sail due to the bad weather. Maybe she's still on the island," Jisoo's mom was optimistic. 

"I want to go out and take a look," Jennie said but Jisoo's mom stopped her. "Miss Jennie, what can you do in such heavy rain? Maybe she'll call home. Don't go out. Stay at home and wait for her call," Jisoo's mom said while holding Jennie preventing her to go out. "Yeah yeah, let's just wait," Jisoo added.



"Lisa Manoban has bad feelings towards Madam. How long can she care for Madam?" Mr. Lee asked Kai. "It shouldn't be too long. Once she cannot find a way out, she will abandon Ruby Jane," Kai answered. "Absolutely right. We need to make use of that opportunity," Mr. Lee stated. "That's right. Once Ruby Jane knows what Lisa Manoban is like and is betrayed by her, I will appear. And then, I will get Ruby Jane back," Kai concluded.



Jisoo, her mom, and the kids slept on the living room. Jennie can't sleep so she kept on staring at the window waiting for Lisa to come home.

The next day, the weather was so fine. Early morning, Jennie and Jisoo went to the port. "Excuse me sir, does the blue ship that went to the sea has already returned?" Jisoo asked the man they met along the way. "I think I saw it coming back from that direction just now," he answered while pointing the location. 

Jennie and Jisoo hurriedly ran to the direction and found the ship. "Where's Lisa? Didn't she board the ship?" Jisoo curiously asked the man who went out of the ship. "I wasn't able to pick her up because the waves were too strong and I couldn't get to her. I don't know if she's okay," the man replied. "It's only a small island. If she gets caught in the waves, that's bad," the man's companion added and they both left.

"Lisa Manoban," Jennie sadly uttered. "It's okay. Maybe she has returned to the office already. I'll go back and take a look first. Wait for me to come back," Jisoo told her. "I'm fine. You go ahead," Jennie softly said and Jisoo left.

Jennie ran roaming around the port. "Have you seen Lisa Manoban?" She asked the man on the boat. The man shook his head. "Have you seen Lisa Manoban?" She asked another person on the boat. "I didn't," he replied. 

"Lisa Manoban, where are you?!" Jennie shouted as she started to cry. She then remembered her conversation with Lisa. "Even if I die, you wouldn't cry right?" Lisa asked her. "You can try dying and see if I'll cry then," she replied.

"Try dying. trying dying. If you die, I'll show you what I can do," Jennie said while sobbing.

"Jennie," Lisa called while walking towards Jennie. "Why are you here?" She curiously asked Jennie but got no answer.

"What happened?" Lisa asked again when she noticed Jennie was crying. "Because of you, because of you, I nearly died!" Jennie angrily said while crying. Lisa looked at her sad and confused.
