I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

Lalisa only looked up at him as he entered the doorway.

He hated it and had to struggle to let it go, but strangely, his body did not have any strength.

As they went up the stairs and passed the hallway, Melissa, who was just standing in front of the bedroom, was startled and bowed her head.

Without looking at Melissa for a moment, Jungkook entered the bedroom.

At that moment, Yulia, who suddenly came to her senses, struggled in his arms.

Despite the hand that pushed him forcefully, Jungkook steadfastly crossed the room and approached the bed.

As she was placed on the bed, Lalisa opened her mouth unsteadily again.

"Are you going to lock me up like this again? Again, take me to this hell...."

At the word hell, Jungkook's dark eyes fell deeply.

For Lalisa, he was hell. It was just a prison where she couldn't live comfortably.

"...even if it's hell..."

Jungkook, who muttered dangerously, then bowed his head.

"But please stay here."

He took a step back and turned around slowly. Lalisa looked at his overbearing back as he walked away and touched her forehead.

Click, as the door closed, her head began to ache.

Thump-thump, feeling her precariously beating heart, she lowered her gaze. Her vision was gradually blurring.

A day passed like that.

In the morning after not being able to sleep all night, the attending physician, Lockman, came to visit Lalisa.

It was only then that Lalisa learned that she had been unconscious for 10 days since she was taken to Jungkook.

It was the first time she had been unconscious for so long, since she fell off a cliff a year ago.

Lockman grabbed her wrist and felt her pulse for a while. He was gauging something with his gaze down, and soon raised his head.

"Fortunately, I can feel your blood vessels beating a little now. But...."

Lockman spoke to Jungkook, who was standing next to him.

As if hesitating, he urged him as he watched Lockman dragging his words.

"Are there any other problems?"

"...that, the blood flow is still not smooth. The blood flow to her heart is blocked."

Lockman glanced at Lalisa, who was sitting there with her expressionless face.

"Your Grace, do you not feel any pain?"

Lalisa had a pale complexion and a quiet face as if she had no pain.

She lowered her gaze without answering Lockman's question.

It wasn't that she didn't feel the pain.

However, she was mentally concentrated and only trying to forget her pain.

Lalisa was noticing that at this moment, her power had faded a lot more than before.

Previously, it had felt like a mist in my heart, but now it was barely felt.

So, that meant that her vitality was greatly reduced.

Looking at Lalisa, who had an empty expression, Jungkook wrapped his chin with nervousness.
