The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 151: Future Son In Law

Lisa opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He looked at Hye Kyo in bewilderment, before uneasiness spread in his chest as he realized the implications of Hye Kyo's words.

Hye Kyo was forced to put down her mug to pull out napkins to dry her tears. It made Lisa feel uncomfortable seeing her like this as he didn't know what he could do to help her.

"Aunty Kyo... what do you mean by this?" Lisa asked. He was a little nervous to hear her answer. He hoped that whatever it wasn't the one he was thinking.

Still, he mustered all the courage he had to confront Hye Kyo. Since she had given him an opening, how can Lisa stop here and ignore the gnawing worry on his chest?

Hye Kyo fell silent as if she realized the slip of the tongue she just made. Looks like she couldn't hide the truth from everyone any longer.

She looked at Lisa and saw the worry in his eyes. This was what she feared she would see, especially in her daughter once Jennie finds out the truth. However, she was also aware that it would be pointless to hide this for too long, as she would only make everyone worry about her more.

She heaved a deep breath and willed herself to calm down and trust that everything would be alright, especially for her dearest daughter. She also knew that Lisa would be there for her daughter, just in case she needed someone to lean on.

"Lisa, actually..." She started, paying attention to Lisa's face. "Actually, I'm sick. Extremely sick, and I don't know how to tell Jennie about it."

There. She said it. She smiled helplessly as she thought that her time left to spend with her daughter was now limited. Hye Kyo wasn't willing to leave her daughter yet. Not like this.

She found out about her illness a month before Lisa's return and during the time she was contemplating to inform her daughter about it, the news of Lisa's accident reached them.

Seeing her daughter's devastated state over the news, Hye Kyo decided to delay their talk, as she didn't want to make Jennie more worried than she already was at the time. Her Jennie had been worried sick about her childhood friend's condition, now lover, that Hye Kyo could only hold her tongue and silently stay next to her daughter.

When Jennie's birthday arrived, she saw her daughter being truly happy for the first time in ages as she announced her relationship with Lisa. Hye Kyo hadn't seen her daughter this happy and she couldn't be more happier seeing her like that.

As a mother, how could she ruin her daughter's special day with such horrible news about her illness? She could also see how happy her daughter was as Jennie looked at Lisa.

Despite her marriage with Dong Wook ending in shatters, Hye Kyo could see the love in their eyes and the respect the two shared with each other.

It was the kind of connection she really didn't share with her ex-husband. She was happy that her daughter found a man who could cherish her and love her more than anyone else through Lisa.

"I couldn't tell her, because I didn't want to ruin her happiness, but I see now that my daughter can sense my distress even if she doesn't say anything."

She could remember the look Jennie had before she left for her business trip. It was as if she wanted to ask her, confront her about what was going on, but Jennie didn't.

Her daughter respected her and was willing to wait for her to muster her courage to say whatever she needed to tell her. Times like this made Hye Kyo happy to know that she had raised such a sensible child.

Lisa understood the situation clearly now, and it made him worry about both Jennie and her mother. He couldn't stop himself and strode towards Hye Kyo, gently giving the woman a firm hug.
