753.Heart-to-heart With Father

At 3:00 in the morning, Somi began to yawn frequently. She struggled to even keep her eyelids apart.

Thus, she said to Jennie, "Cousin-in-law, I'm really too tired. I'll visit a nearby hotel to rest for a while. You should get some rest soon."

She then glanced at the two Manoban family's bodyguards outside the hospital ward. "With the Manoban family's people guarding the hospital room, Grandfather will definitely remain safe. Please don't blame me for not being able to stay here any longer. If I exhaust myself, Grandfather's heart will definitely ache for me. I'll come again tomorrow afternoon."

What was that about exhausting herself? That Somi sure found a grand reason to excuse herself to go to sleep.

In fact, Jennie understood very well that it was especially tiring for Somi to use her hypnosis.

She could only use her skill to the best of abilities when she was energetic and in a good state. Thus, she could not allow herself to be too tired.

Kai was also curious about his sister's plan. Hence, he left with her.

After the both of them were gone, Jennie sent a message to Mark. "Send over a high quality imitation skin based on Lee Jingyuan's appearance."

There were many exquisite masks that were even more well-made than those used on television sets. If one did not look carefully, they truly would not notice the difference.

This intensive care unit ward was no longer safe for Lee Jingyuan.

She needed to take some pre-emptive measures.

Mark responded with an 'OK' emoticon.

Jennie instructed the bodyguards to inform her when Somi was about to make her way to the hospital again and entered the VIP hospital ward where Dong Lee was admitted next door.

There were two beds in the VIP room. One of which was occupied by Dong Lee, while the other vacant bed was occasionally used by her when she visited him.

She also needed to rest. Her own abilities could also only work to the best effect when she was well-rested.

She sat by Dong Lee's bedside and reached out to tuck the corner of the sheets against him. As she took in his thin appearance, she suddenly thought of Lee Jingyuan.

Previously, when she first met Lee Jingyuan in the Manoban family, she had found him somewhat familiar. However, she had struggled to understand why that was so.

She now understood that Dong Lee and Lee Jingyuan appeared uncanningly similar at times.

Both of them were unrelated. Why would they appear this similar?

"Dad, both Mom and I have the surname 'Kim', while your surname is 'Lee'. Does that mean that your mother's surname is also 'Lee'?" Jennie recalled asking him when she had been young.

Her father had not gotten angry. Instead, he had held her and spoken seriously. "My good daughter, my surname follows my father. He is also your grandfather. He once said that our family always has to keep our ancestors' names. That is why my surname is 'Lee'."

"But if I don't take your surname, others will laugh at you."

"For your mother, it's nothing to me if others laugh at me. Besides, no matter whose surname you have, you'll always be my blood family. You're daddy's little precious girl."

"In that case, Daddy is my big precious daddy!" She had responded sweetly.

"Jenjen is so sweet!" Dong Lee had not been able to resist kissing her chubby cheeks.

Jennie returned to herself. She felt a little sad as she watched her father.

She muttered to herself. "Dad, I wonder when you'll finally wake up. I really regret not being able to take good care of you in the past. I hope you'll wake up and give me another opportunity to do so. I really wish to hear you calling me your 'precious daughter' again."

Dong Lee's left hand trembled ever so slightly. As his hands were tucked beneath the sheets, Jennie did not notice this.
