Lisa's expression darkened as he held her hand tightly. "Jennie, I ..."

Jennie smiled and shook her head, "It's also because of you; for the first time, I feel sadness and despair after hope. If it wasn't for your appearance and if it wasn't because you didn't like interfering in strangers' affairs, I would not see the world clearly. There are many things that I actually cannot rely on others to survive."

"Lisa, in fact, you were the one who taught me the first lesson of my life. You always said that I was like a hedgehog, but in reality, this hedgehog was born because of you. That winter, I learned to be independent." As Jennie spoke, she smiled and looked at him.

Seeing the deep pain and remorse in Lisa's eyes, she intentionally made the smile even wider. After that, she giggled and asked, "What? Feeling sorry? Regret it?"

Lisa's lips curved into a beautiful curve as he placed his arms around her shoulders and hugged her. He then whispered in her ear, "Time and temperament can teach teenagers a lot of things, but I don't want to turn you into a hedgehog. Please forgive me, Jennie?"

Jennie silently shook her head in his embrace. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly, absorbing the warmth of his embrace.

"To be able to make it this far, everything is worth it."

At this moment, the door of Shin-hye's room opened and she slowly walked out. Her legs became more agile after recovering for the past years. As long as she didn't walk too fast, it wouldn't affect her normal walking speed.

"Mom, you're done." Jennie pulled away from Lisa's embrace and turned around. She straightened her hair and walked towards Shin-hye, smiling.

Shin-hye naturally saw what happened just now and simply curled her lips. Her gaze swept Lisa and finally, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Leo and Lily are outside?" Shin-hye asked him.

Lisa nodded and pointed to the window at the side. "They're playing over there."

"I'll check on the kids. You two must be tired from the journey. Go back to your room and take a shower. Rest for a few hours. No need to be in a hurry to cook dinner." Shin-hye walked closer, looking at Leo and Lily outside the window then turned around and went downstairs.

At this moment, Lisa's cell phone rang. Jennie gestured for him to pick up the phone and go downstairs with Shin-hye.

When she returned to the second floor, she saw Lisa put down the phone at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Jennie asked hesitantly as she watched the look in his eyes getting darker.

Lisa looked at her for a moment and said, "Hae-jin was diagnosed with esophageal cancer while he was imprisoned and is now at the middle stage."

"Esophageal cancer?" Jennie was shocked. "Was it because the food in there wasn't good?"

"There are many causes for this type of cancer, basically excessive amounts of smoking, drinking, eating hot foods, and esophageal inflammation directly worsens to the level of esophageal cancer. A moment ago, someone just called and said that if Hae-jin went to the hospital for surgery, there is still a chance for him to recover temporarily." Lisa said indifferently. His fingers searched for the number on his phone, as if he were trying to call someone.

Jennie didn't say anything. She just leaned against the wall with her head lowered.

Noticing her sudden silence, Lisa didn't interrupt her train of thoughts. He just dialed a few numbers on his cell phone and then went to the side to make a call.

Jennie walked to the window and looked outside. He saw Shin-hye sitting on a stone bench, hugging Leo and playing with him. Lily opened her arms to ask her grandmother to hug them together.

She looked jealous and stomped her feet from time to time, but Shin-hye was purposely teasing her, turning her body away to ignore the little thing whose mouth was pouting.

After an unknown period of time, Jennie felt a warmth on her shoulder. Turning around, she saw Lisa standing behind her.

"I don't really know if my mom really forgot about what happened the last few days or if she faked it. She didn't want to tell me, afraid I would be worried. But at least now I could understand why she insisted on going to the prison to see them even though she knew it was a trap set by Chaerin."

Jennie lowered her head and sighed, then said in a low voice, "Since she insisted on staying here, I know that she still hasn't let go of him completely. I couldn't understand why she still hung onto a bastard like Hae-jin."

"Love and hate are both extremes." Lisa said calmly, "I contacted the person in charge there. They know what to do."

Jennie pursed her lips, no longer saying anything. She just looked outside the window at Shin-hye and said softly, "Lisa, help me tell Chaerin, if she wants to bring Hae-jin to the hospital for treatment, if she wants to save his life, she must use her own dignity. She doesn't have to do anything outrageous, as long as she sincerely apologizes in front of my mother. If she doesn't want to, let her continue to hug Hae-jin and wait for his death."

She turned and looked at Lisa. "Do you think I'm being cruel to my father?"

Lisa smiled. "You're thinking too much."

Jennie turned her head away uncomfortably. "I just ..."

"You just want to see if Chaerin can really subdue her dignity for the sake of her husband. If she can't do it, it will only prove that she really doesn't care about her husband, but you still won't just watch Hae-jin die. In the end, you still wish I could find the best doctor to save him, right?"

Lisa was looking at her with a faint smile, but his words were true.

Seeing that he had seen through her, Jennie didn't reply. In the end, she could only say in a very small voice, "Actually, this isn't the time for me to choose. Since he is unwilling to accept treatment, he definitely has his own wish. I don't want to care too much about him. Being able to save his life isn't because I'm soft-hearted, that's just because of my mother. I just want my mother to have a reason to continue living a good life."

"Would you like to arrange a meeting with Hae-jin?" Lisa pushed a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear as he spoke softly.

Jennie firmly shook her head and said after a while, "I won't."

"He's not worthy of us doing so much." She looked out the window. "As a man and a father, he was a failure and I had no reason to meet with him."

Then, she raised her head and said, "Lisa, let's solve this matter quickly. When my mother is in better shape, can we invite Senior Huang to come here?"

Lisa smiled thinly as if he understood what she was thinking, "Why don't we take your mom to F City after our wedding? Let her look around and stay at Aerial Club. Maybe it's better this way."

Jennie raised her eyebrows. "Wedding?"

Yes, it was a wedding, but Lisa didn't say much to Jennie. Instead, he smiled mysteriously.
