Lisa
Once Jennie was calm and the IV bag had emptied, Lisa replaced it, letting Jennie's veins drink up a second bag. Her heart rate and potassium levels started to stabilise and Lisa knew that the worst was over. She wanted Jennie to sleep, but her tiny body refused to let her rest, forcing her eyes open each time she drifted off and jolting herself awake every time her body fully relaxed. Jennie was so scared to die, so scared that if she closed her eyes and gave in that she'd never open them again, but she needed to know that the fight was over. She'd won, but she hadn't realised it yet.
"You did so good honey... now rest. It's okay for you to rest now. I've got you." Lisa whispered in Jennie's ear. As if she had been waiting for Lisa's permission, Jennie's eyes blinked closed one last time before her chin sunk down and relaxed against her shoulder. She was asleep in a matter of seconds and Lisa was grateful that her body was finally able to relax and rest.
Jin was in the bathroom when Jennie finally drifted off and Lisa took the opportunity to discuss a theory with Hoony. "What's Jin's relationship with Dara?" Lisa said quickly before Jin re-entered the room. It took Hoony a second or two to register Lisa's question, but he answered immediately once he understood what Lisa was asking.
"Shitty. Jin hates Dara and the feeling is mutual. Jin's mom doesn't come from money. She's a nurse that works her ass off, but Dara sees that as low class and views Jin as someone who is beneath her and less than." Hoony said, giving Lisa all the information she needed.
"Why? What's up?" Hoony asked, arching a brow at Lisa.
"Just trying to piece everything together." Lisa said as she ran a hand through her hair in frustration.
"She's finally sleeping?" Jin asked as he came out of the bathroom and reclaimed his seat with his eyes on Jennie.
"Yeah, she's out." Lisa said, looking over her shoulder at her sleeping Jennie.
"What the fuck happened tonight?" Jin asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I've got a theory." Lisa said with a hardened expression. "The only time Jennie's purse was out of her possession was at the dinner last night. As we were leaving, Dara brought Jennie her purse and said she had forgotten it on the table." The room was silent for a second or two as the group thought about what Lisa had just implied.
"That fucking bitch," Jin snarled.
"What's her play though? Why try to kill Jennie?" Hoony asked.
The word 'kill' hit Lisa's ears, like nails on a chalkboard, causing her to grit her teeth and ball her fists as she cracked her neck to release some anger.
"Didn't you know? If anything happens to my dad, Jennie gets it all... all the businesses. Sure Dara and I will get some financial pay-out, but my dad's empire - everything he's built... it all goes to Jennie."
"Holy shit." Hoony muttered under his breath.
The sound of the front door opening pulled their attention, causing all heads to swivel in that direction.
"Listen, we can't let on that we know about Jennie's meds being tampered with. If Dara is behind this we need to keep her in the dark until we know more." Lisa said quickly. "Copy that." Hoony confirmed with Jin nodding in agreement as well.
Richard burst through the door a few seconds later with Dara following right behind him. Jin immediately stood and blocked their pathway to Jennie, putting his finger to his mouth as he signalled them to be quiet.
"What happened?" Richard asked frantically in a hushed voice.
"Jennie had an attack. Her levels dropped faster than her meds could keep up so Lisa rushed her out and got her an IV." Jin said to Richard.
