The Devil's Sweetheart

92

"How do you feel now? Do you often get pain?" Lisa asked as he massaged her leg. When Jennie was sharing her past, he felt a little familiar with some incidents but he doesn't have any clue. Though he asked his brain, it was not showing up. It's like a Deja vu all over again, boggling his mind.

"Not anymore. I can walk and jump like normal people. But if I am under a lot of physical stress, I get easily exhausted." When Jennie heard that she has to be confined to the bed for a lifetime, she wished death would be the better choice. While she was in the hospital, she stole a surgical instrument when the nurse came to tend to her wounds and tried to attempt suicide but somehow she was caught by her meemaw, and from then on she glued to Jennie 24/7.

"I am sorry you had to go endure a lot. I wish I was there to protect you." The despairing, dejected expression of Lisa's face caught Jennie's eye. Lisa wished to stay by her side in her struggles. He wished to be there by her side, standing in silence to comfort her.

"Don't blame yourself." She tugged his shirt. "You were not part of my life in the past. It kills me to see you sad, Lisa. I am happy that I have met you now. So, don't. blame. yourself. Understand?"

"As you say, madam." He kissed the tip of her nose and then rained all over her face with butterfly kisses.

"Can you find the person who saved me on that night, babylicious?" Suddenly Jennie asked. "I have been frantically searching for that man, but like a spec of dust, he disappeared. I want to thank him for saving my life."

"I will personally investigate." He assured her. Even he was curious about the person. He genuinely wanted to meet and personally thank him for saving his sweetheart's life.

"Thank you a bunch, babylicious. You are the best." Francis has become a lazy bum and Jennie doesn't want to rely on him alone. For five years, he couldn't find a single man and he is branded as one of the most powerful men in the country.

"My pleasure, miss narcissist." He mimicked in Jennie's tone. "Watch some movies. I will go and make dinner."

"I will join you."

"No." He declined instantly. "Isn't your turn starting tomorrow?" Both have come to terms with cooking and every week, they would rotate the shifts. Once Jennie helped him making dinner on the last day of his turn and the next day she came up with a stupid logic and dumped the kitchen duties on him for the entire week. "I know your tricks. But it doesn't work on me." Lisa left to prepare dinner.

"His IQ has improved a little but I will not let him outsmart me." Getting bored, Jennie opened her mobile and resumed the romantic series which she has watched in the morning before going to Lisa's office. Recently, she shifted to the romance genre but none of them piqued her interest because, in every movie, she would relate the male lead to Lisa and she ends up finding faults in them.

Just then, Jennie received a video call from her brother. Immediately she lifted the call, and Carrot's tilting face popped into the picture.

"Carrot!" Jennie screamed. "Are you missing me?"

Carrot bobbed her head. "She is not eating anything. Perhaps, she is missing you." Seulgi said.

"My baby! I will come and pick you tomorrow." Carrot has not met Lisa and she was excited to introduce another family member to Lisa. How would Lisa react? I will give him a surprise.

"Jennie!" Irene snatched the mobile from Seulgi's hands. "How are you?"

"Can't you see? Prim and proper." Jennie proudly said. "What's up Sister-in-law?"

"I need your help in picking a birthday dress for Cutie. Can we go shopping tomorrow?" Irene asked.

"We still have one more month right?"
