[2] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 208

Seunghoon could feel the bone-seeping chill in his words. He turned to look at him: "Others might not understand, but how could Jennie not? The reason she has been holding on for so long is that she doesn't believe that you'll be able to be as heartless as you say. How can she believe that you'll stop loving her the moment you say so?"

Lisa turned, looking at the woman on the bed. She appeared pale, with barely any signs of life. "Indeed, it'll take some effort to convince her."

"And so, you've step by step bullied her into such a state?"

Lisa did not respond.

Seunghoon suddenly thought of something. "What exactly did you say to her? For as long as I've known her, she's always been lively and bright. No matter what she did, she always had her goals to focus on. How did she turn so listless overnight?"

Lisa was unperturbed as he turned to look out of the window.

He did not answer.

It was because he said that Lisa was already dead.

Was he truly dead?

The room was extremely spacious and vacant. The vacancy made the silence even more pronounced, causing one to feel flustered.

...

After losing her consciousness for two days, Jennie slept for two more nights in the hospital. She did not sleep the whole way, but each time she woke up, she would quickly fall back asleep.

When she awoke on the morning of her third day in the hospital, she was finally able to leave behind her dazed state. Her throat ached as though she had swallowed a mouthful of sand.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw that Auntie Chen, Rosé, and Yeji were all in the room. She had seen them earlier in her brief moments of consciousness. At that time, she had seen Auntie Lee, the Kim family's housekeeper, as well.

It seemed like in the past few days she had been sleeping, all of the people she was close to had come to visit.

"You're awake?" Rosé was speaking to Yeji when she suddenly noticed that Jennie's eyes were half-lidded. She immediately reached over to touch her forehead: "How long do you plan to be awake? Are you still going to sleep? You haven't had any fever for the past two days, could it be that you really want to sleep more?"

Jennie did not close her eyes. She quietly watched her for a long moment.

Rosé waved her hands before her eyes. "Hey, my god. Don't tell me you've gone dumb from all the sleep? Doctor Lee said that you only had a fever. It can't be, right?"

Jennie closed her eyes for a moment before reopening them. She spoke hoarsely: "Stop waving. If you wave anymore, I'll fall asleep again."

The moment they heard Jennie speak, Yeji and Auntie Chen rushed over. "You're awake? You're really awake?"

Jennie looked at them and turned to look at Rosé. She had no impression of how she had been sent to the hospital, but hearing Rosé mention Doctor Lee, she vaguely understood. She did not ask further.

She only remembered that she had taken a bath in the hotel. At the time, she did not wish to leave the hot water because it was too cold. Afterward, because it was too comfortable, she somehow fell asleep.

She recalled waking up briefly from the pain in her legs before losing consciousness once more.

She did not sleep for a long time, but now that she had opened her eyes, she felt truly awake.

"Boss, you've finally woken up. It's been two days," Yeji said by the bedside. "We almost died of fright when we received Doctor Lee's call informing us that you were unconscious at the hospital."
