My Daring Wife

A Gift War To Win

When the influential Kim Taehyung strolled through the emergency room with a beautiful woman in his arms, the nurses and doctors quickly got into action. When he first walked into the hospital, he was already garnering attention.

One would be living underneath a rock to not know who the notorious Kim Taehyung was. They didn't need to be told twice before rushing Lee Jennie into a VVIP room.

She was quickly diagnosed to have high fever. She was connected to an IV drip and the nurses carefully watched over her, while Kim Taehyung paced the room.

He didn't expect her to instantly burn up with fever, and one that was higher than normal. What was the cause of it? He cursed under his breath when he realized it might've been because he allowed her outside for too long. But it seemed like she was already heating up before she walked outside. When he held her by the bathroom, her body was already oddly warm.

He stopped pacing when the pieces fell into place. His long fingers curled into a tight, pale fist. It must've been the wine that Xu Kai poured on her. She was on the floor for God knows how long. Knowing Xu Kai, he must've planned the entire ordeal and had gotten some spoiled wine in advance.

But a simple case of being doused with wine shouldn't have been the cause of such an intense fever... What else could it be? Kim Taehyung walked over to the unconscious Lee Jennie. He brushed her short hair strands aside and tucked her tighter into the bed.

"Mr. Kim, are you her guardian? A doctor asked with a clipboard asked.

Kim Taehyung nodded.

Usually, doctors would ask for some sort of proof and question their relationship, but the man wasn't dumb. He recognized the richest man in the country with a simple glance, an expensive watch on his wrist and the undeniably handsome face plastered on magazines.

"Do you remember what she consumed within the past three hours?" The doctor asked, flipping to a page in his clipboard.

"No." Kim Taehyung answered, worriedly staring at Lee Jennie's face.

"Well, an unknown certain drug and bacteria were found in her system. The sudden occurrence of high levels of bacteria attacking her immune system might've overworked her body. The drug found was a type used to curb the immune system in case it attacks foreign substances. The combination of both is very deadly." The doctor frowned at Lee Jennie's odd circumstances.

Was she poisoned by someone? Why? His eyes trailed to the CEO in front of him and he already made conclusions. To attack someone like him, his enemies would need to make a direct hit at the thing he cares the most about.

"Drugs and bacteria?" Kim Taehyung faintly remembered the scent of grapes from her mouth. His gaze darkened. Who would poison Lee Jennie at her own sister's birthday banquet? He would need to investigate this further.

"Yes, but the pills have been flushed out of her system. She would need 2 nights of rest ad continuous IV drips during this time, but she should be completely healed within 3 days." The doctor watched Kim Taehyung's expression. One night in the VVIP room was in tens of thousands, but Kim Taehyung didn't even flinch at the price of the treatment and room.

Kim Taehyung nodded and pulled out his phone. The doctor took it as a cue to leave and did so.

Park Jimin was halfway done with the report when his phone buzzed again. He groaned and nearly banged his head on the keyboard.

[Yama King: Check the security cameras and see who placed something into Lee Jennie's drink. She's in a blue dress.]

Park Jimin wept for his sleep. It seemed he would be up for all night long... and not in a good way. Being the one that dug into Lee Jennie's background and identity, he already knew how she looked like.

After receiving a confirmation text from Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung put his phone away and sat down on the leather couch not far away from Lee Jennie's bed.

He was confused with himself. Why did he care so much about a random and infuriating woman? He sends her gifts and she repays him something better.

Kim Taehyung thought about the gift war and sighed. He hadn't given her a new gift which meant she was the last person to send one, thus, he was slightly losing to her.

He had hoped becoming her partner at the banquet would be the welcomed gift that she could never return, but Lee Jennie didn't even look happy or excited to have him as her partner. The thought surprised and intrigued him. He rarely brought dates and whoever had this amazing opportunity would be instantly praised by the media.

Didn't Lee Jennie have a bad reputation? Wouldn't she enjoy the gift of fixing it?

Kim Taehyung scowled when he saw the IV drips. It reminded him that she saved his life and he insulted her by throwing a check at her like she was a common prostitute. Just great, he now had one life debt to pay and a gift war to win.
