"What is wrong with her?" Park Jimin's face was grim. He watched as the doctor busied himself writing Roseanne's prescription before answering.
"Miss Lilian is fine. But she needs to eat more and sleep more," the doctor said while handing a prescription to Park Jimin, who then passed it to Lia.
"What about her allergies? Did she faint because of the smell of the roses?" he asked, feeling angry at himself. Park Jimin really wanted to slap himself right now. He was so excited about the idea of courting Roseanne with flowers that he had actually forgotten how Roseanne hated smelling scented stuff.
"The smell could have been the trigger but I think she fainted due to stress," the doctor answered while eyeing the sleeping Roseanne on the bed. "From the looks on her eyebags alone, I am confident to say that she had not been sleeping properly for the past few weeks at least. Her immune system is weak to begin with and given her sensitivity to strong fragrances, like the smell of the roses, it could have caused her to experience headaches and dizziness. The physical stress on the body must have been too much that caused her to faint. "
"Have her eat some vitamins and remind her to eat well," the doctor added before looking at Park Jimin meaningfully. "Is she your girlfriend, President Park?" The doctor had been his personal doctor for years and this was the first time he had seen him being so worried over a woman. He couldn't help but wonder who this woman was.
"She will soon be my wife." His quick answer surprised both Lia and the doctor.
"Alright, I suggest that you make her eat more. Have someone to cook nutritious food for her. If you have the time, accompany her during her meals." the doctor said with an understanding of the importance of Miss Lilian in President Park's heart. Park Jimin nodded in response, bearing the doctor's words in mind. Of course, he was more than willing to cook for Roseanne and accompany her for her meals. The doctor left immediately after saying what he needed to say, bidding goodbye to Park Jimin.
Lia who was also in the room, was looking at Park Jimin with suspicion. "I'm sorry but you should leave too. President Lilian is a very private person. She will not be happy to have a stranger in her room. Especially a stranger who is shamelessly claiming to be her future husband," Lia said while secretly texting Lisa.
"I am not leaving," Park Jimin answered.
"You..." Lia tried to compose herself before she continued, "Who do you think you are? And why are you claiming to be our President's future husband? Do you think that your name as President Park would intimidate me? Leave this room and don't tarnish the reputation of President Park," she hissed, unable to control herself. Protecting the president was something that the late Old Madam Anne had ingrained in her to do. As long as she is standing by Roseanne's side, she would protect Roseanne to the best of her abilities.
"I am not leaving until she wakes up," Park Jimin insisted before giving Lia a cold glare. "Go and buy the medicine that the doctor had prescribed. Don't worry, I will not hurt her."
Lia did not budge. How could she leave the unconscious president with a man whom she was not familiar with? She crossed her arms while glaring back at him. "If you are not going to leave, I will have to call the police," she threatened while waving her phone at Park Jimin. Their conversation was suddenly interrupted by Lisa's arrival.
"What happened?" She ran towards Roseanne, her gaze on Roseanne's face. "Her allergies should not have been that serious. What did the doctor say?" Lisa's questioning eyes darted from Park Jimin and then to Lia. Lisa was still unaware of Park Jimin's real identity. She assumed that he was Roseanne's security personnel.
Lia quickly explained what had happened to Roseanne, including how Min was actually President Park of Park Capital. She also did not hide her dislike towards the man who triggered the president's allergies.
Lisa could only let out a sigh at Lia's words. Now that Lisa was here, Lia felt more assured to leave the room to get the medicine that Roseanne needs. Lia knew that the president was in safe hands with Lisa around.
Only after Lia was gone that Lisa addressed Park Jimin. "What are your intentions towards my friend?" she asked straightforwardly with a dark look in her face.
"I want her to be my wife," he answered honestly. Park Jimin could sense that both Lia and Lisa did not like him to be near Roseanne. If he had not been so worried about Roseanne, he would surely find this situation amusing. Lia and Lisa?
"You are rich and prominent, you can have any girl that you like. Why her?"
Park Jimin let out a sigh before he answered, "I have waited fifteen years and I finally got to see her again. Now that she is here, I won't let her go again."
"She won't like you."
"What's there not to like?" he retorted, almost making Lisa cough up blood. 'This man is shameless ah.' Lisa decided to test Park Jimin by listing out Roseanne's flaws. If a man truly loves a woman, he would accept all her flaws.
"She doesn't know how to cook her own food," Lisa said.
"I will be her cook."
"She doesn't know how to drive," Lisa said, almost immediately.
"I will be her driver."
"She is clueless about love," she said. "She is not romantic and is allergic to a lot of things. Including bullshit from people."
"I will show her what love is and protect her."
"She is scarred by her past. She is guarded and secretive. She won't just let you in because you are a little handsome and rich."
"Her scars are beautiful," Park Jimin said while eyeing Roseanne who was still sleeping. "I am willing to climb up the walls around her heart slowly... I will show her how much I adore her through my words and actions. I am willing to spend the rest of my life with her. Scarred or not, guarded or not, I am willing to wait for her patiently until she accepts me and allow me to stand beside her," he answered, his eyes full of gentleness.
