Rushing inside the theatre, Lisa noticed the pictures playing on the screen and immediately understood the situation. He hadn't shown his picture purposefully so that she shouldn't stress out. As he had guessed, his pictures triggered her memory and the effect was still unknown.

His hands froze when he heard her utter 'Lili.' His mind quickly recalled what she was mumbling in sleep, 'Lili run?' Nonetheless, he didn't have time to think about which part of the past came as her dream.

Unlike how Jisoo and Megan were dreaded, Lisa and Connor were bone cold observing Ruby Jane. Panicking doesn't help, so they know they have to be composed irrespective of the situation. Chaeyoung was waiting for them to say something so that she could arrange it for them.

Lisa checked Ruby Jane's pulse rate. She needed a quick injection to lower her palpitation but the medicines weren't there. Lisa had arranged everything for an emergency in the JL mansion. In the Manoban mansion, it was the first time they were planning to stay so they have to move Ruby Jane to the hospital. He had to make do with the tablets.

He glanced at Connor. The latter gave a quick nod and ran out to Lisa's room to fetch Lisa's laptop bag. Everyone knew Lisa always carried emergency tablets that might be required for Ruby Jane.

Lisa checked the shrunk pupils of Ruby Jane and carried her out. Compared to the last two times, this concussion was serious so he instructed Chaeyoung who was running behind him.

"Call Doctor Wells to the hospital, right away."

"I will do it," Chaeyoung responded and went aside to call her chief.

Lisa fed the medicine to Ruby Jane and made sure the tablet didn't stick in her throat. Jordan, who had an oxygen bag in his room, brought it inside.

Lisa and Jordan's eyes met. One was icy cold and accusing, and another one was guilty. Jordan's fist tightened on the cane, the dreaded day finally came. He doubted once they leave the Manoban mansion to the hospital, whether they will return together or separate ways.

Connor squeezed Lisa's shoulder to focus on the pressing matter. Clenching his teeth, Lisa carefully placed the oxygen tube for Ruby Jane and her breathing started to slowly stabilize.

The butler announced on behalf of Karsen who was making calls for free roads for medical purposes, "Master, the cars are ready."

Jisoo volunteered to carry the oxygen cylinder and Lisa carried Ruby Jane to the elevator to avoid any motion to her head that might cause her splitting throb in the head.

Jisoo drove the Maybach, with Lisa and Ruby Jane on the backseat and Connor on the shotgun. Karsen knew Megan and Jordan wouldn't be able to wait for the call, so in another car, he took them to the hospital with Chaeyoung.

Everyone leaving the Manoban mansion would definitely reach the ears of Seungri. Lisa didn't want to take the chance of Seungri attacking them. So he doubled the security, alerted the Shadow team, and kept eye on Seungri's movements.

After an hour,

Doctor Wells had followed Ruby Jane's case from the beginning. She heard the cause as she studied Ruby Jane's scanning reports before informing Lisa, "She hasn't fallen into a coma but the neuron activity is rather high. Her memories are definitely being affected but we can't be certain about the activities."

She meant Ruby Jane might lose or gain memories or might forget everything and everyone. The doctor wanted to scold them for showing the picture of the past but knew it was unexpected. It was already a miracle Ruby Jane had pushed through three years.
