Perhaps Love

Lisa, who was lying in the hospital bed, woke up, feeling dizzy and groggy. She rubbed her eyes while murmuring, "I seem to see Mr. Park. He's a real bastard."

Mr. Park standing near the bed was speechless.

Lisa caught a glimpse of his face. She rubbed her eyes again, sat up and looked at him. After making sure that it was not a dream, she instinctively flattered, "Mr. Park, you look so handsome."

If not for the first sentence she had said after waking up, Mr. Park would believe that she was heartily praising him.

With a complex expression on his face, he asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Lisa looked around and found herself in the hospital. Without hesitation, she asked, "Why did you come to the hospital?"

Hearing what she said, Mr. Park realized that Lisa's another personality had taken over her body. He clamped his hand over his forehead, feeling his temples throbbing. "You... Don't you know why I'm here?"

Did she have no memories of what had happened these days?

Lisa thought about it for a while. Mr. Park looked well. It seemed that he had no reason to come to the hospital. Could it be that he got some unmentionable disease?

She fixed her eyes on his crotch and asked, "Are you here to treat infertility?"

Mr. Park sneered in his heart, 'Infertility? If I'm infertile, how could you get pregnant? Is your unborn child bestowed by heaven?'

When Lisa was in a daze, Mr. Park walked out of the ward and explained the situation to the doctor.

The doctor was a highly respected expert who specialized in treatment of patients with dual personality. After thinking for a while, the doctor said, "Don't excite her for the time being, and don't tell her that she has a second personality. It's better to let her get slowly back to normal."

Psychotherapy should be done step by step.

Mr. Park learned the dos and don'ts by heart. When he returned to the ward, he saw Lisa making a call.

He asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm working," answered Lisa.

Mr. Park snatched the cell phone from her hand and said, "Put your work aside for the time being. You need to have a good rest."

Lisa's eyes widened. "No! I have to seize the opportunity to improve my career prospects. How lucky I am to be chosen by the director to play the female lead in his TV play! In the past, I almost always played the role of the corpse. The only thing I had to do was to lie on the ground with my eyes closed. Maybe he was moved by the professionalism of my performance, so he let me play the heroine," she said happily, with a self-satisfied smile on her face.

If she let go of this chance, she would feel guilty about letting the director down.

Mr. Park took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said, "Just stay home and rest for a year, and then whatever TV play you want to be in, I will make you the heroine."

Lisa was dazed for a while, and asked, "Why?"

Mr. Park looked at her stomach, with a soft expression on his face. "You're pregnant."

Lisa's face remained inexpressive as she heard the news. She pondered for a while, and said seriously, "Mr. Park, I don't have the skill of asexual reproduction."

Recalling what the doctor had said, Mr. Park stopped talking about her pregnancy.

But as time went by, her belly would become bigger and bigger, and he couldn't hide the fact that she was pregnant.

After finishing all the hospital discharge procedures and getting into Mr. Park's car, Lisa suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "How did you find me?"

'Nice, you remember to ask about this. You are not a dull pregnant woman,' he thought.

Mr. Park searched his mind for suitable words to describe how they met last time. But Lisa already imagined a story of their reunion. She glanced at him and concluded, "I didn't expect that we would meet again. It must be fate."

Mr. Park was totally speechless.

After returning home, Lisa thought it over and over and decided to have a frank talk with Mr. Park.

"I need to work. I'll starve to death if I don't work."

Mr. Park didn't take her words seriously at all. He said lightly, "I will support you."

With a solemn expression, Lisa refused, "I don't want to be your mistress."

"So, let's get married."

On hearing this, Lisa was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she immediately said, "Bigamy is against the law."

Mr. Park felt puzzled. He stared blankly at her and said, "I'm not married yet. So I won't be a bigamist. Three years ago, I wanted to marry you, but you ran away."

Shocked, Lisa opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

It seemed as if their conversation was a game, and they were game players trying to shock each other.

Mr. Park poured out his grievances, "At that time, you lacked confidence in our relationship. So I wanted to give you the feeling of safety by marrying you. During that time, I was busy preparing for the wedding. When everything was ready, unexpectedly my bride ran away."

Lisa couldn't believe her ears. Shocked, she pointed at her own nose and asked, "You wanted to marry me? But I knew nothing about that!"

Mr. Park kept silent. At that time, his thinking was simple: he would get everything ready for her, and the only thing she had to do was to wear a beautiful wedding dress and become his bride on the wedding day.

She still couldn't believe it. "But... I was your mistress for three years..."

Mr. Park's face darkened. "Mistress? To be serious, I had a romance with you for three years in my view. You are my girlfriend."

With a look of grievance, Lisa said, "Irene had come to me at that time."

Mr. Park frowned and said lightly, "Irene has been in prison. She's just a person with bad conduct. How could you believe her words?"

Lisa shook her head. " You are right. We shouldn't play with people who have bad conduct."

Mr. Park was satisfied with her reply.

After the misunderstanding between them was cleared up, Lisa was delirious with joy. 'I was not his mistress; instead, I once had a romance with Mr. Park, the president of a famous company, and we almost got married. What does all this mean? It means that I'm a winner,' she thought to herself.

Mr. Park stood up, knelt down on one knee and took out a diamond ring he had prepared long ago. Then he held it in his hand for her to see and said solemnly, "Now our misunderstanding has been removed. Miss Lisa, I want you for my wife, will you marry me?"

The ring was engraved with "b" and "l". She suddenly remembered that Irene had mentioned the ring when she had come to her three years ago.

So, the letter "l" meant "Lisa" instead of "Irene".

She was deeply moved, her eyes glistening with tears. Mr. Park smiled with satisfaction.

"Do you really want to marry me?" asked Lisa.

"Yes," Mr. Park answered in a serious tone. "You once asked me what my dream was. Now I want to tell you, my dream is to be with you all my life."

"Sorry, Mr. Park. I love you, but we can't get married."

The smile on Mr. Park's face instantly disappeared. 'She doesn't want to marry me? Then, whom does she want to marry? Her first love?' he thought.

Lisa refused his marriage proposal, but she did not dare to look into his eyes. After a pause, she summoned up her courage and said loudly, "I have made a promise with Seulgi that we must get married on the same day."

Mr. Park didn't expect that Seulgi would become a stumbling block to his marriage. He pressed his fingers to his throbbing temples and then took out his mobile phone to call Julien.

"Seulgi is in Busan now." After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.

As a result, Seulgi was haunted by Julien because she got in Mr. Park's way. Although she was deeply troubled by Julien, she remained unmoved. No matter what he said, she kept silent with a sarcastic smile on her face. She didn't believe him at all.

It bothered Mr. Park that Julien couldn't persuade Seulgi to marry him. So Mr. Park went to see Seulgi and came straight to the point, "Lisa is pregnant, but her core personality doesn't know that yet. I plan to take her to the capital for treatment. But she will not return to the capital unless you go with her."
