Mr Manoban's Daring Wife 2 [Jenlisa]

Chapter 235: Disciplined

Afterward, the two brothers left to deal with Mu Ting, leaving Jennie and the forgotten Bae Irene in the room.

Jennie awkwardly scratched her head and turned to the doctor. "I'm sorry you had to see that."

Bae Irene was on cloud nine, her eyes wide with admiration for Jennie. She had a frail and tiny body frame where a strong wind could knock her off her feet, but the air around her and the way she commanded the presence of one of the fiercest men in this country was overwhelmingly amazing.

"No...Not at all." She breathed out as she gained a profound new respect for the young woman. She walked to her, clasping her hands over Jennie, "I should've said this earlier, but my husband actually works for President Manoban as his private secretary. I'm sure you know of him by now, his name is Kang Seulgi."

Jennie was surprised by this sudden news. She did not expect such a charismatic and beautiful woman to be the wife of the grouchy Kang Seulgi.

"My husband has caused you a lot of problems and for that, I apologize. But do not worry, I thoroughly disciplined him for it." She waved her hand and eagerly said, "I think we would make a great team in tormenting our lovers. Don't you think so? They deserve to be knocked down a few notches sometimes."

She amicably laughed. Her husband needed to get off his high-horse and so did President Manoban who had the audacity to refuse Jennie's request.

Jennie smiled, "I believe you have yourself a comrade in battle." She said while offering a hand to Bae Irene who easily took it and gave a firm handshake.

Before Bae Irene left to answer another patient's call on the other side of the hospital, the two shared contacts and promised to stay in touch.

Jennie made her way to Somi who still hadn't woken up yet. She pulled a chair beside the sleeping woman and quietly sat down. She gingerly brushed strands of hair away from Somi's face.

"Oh, Somi..." She whispered, "How much have you suffered in one night?" Her voice cracked towards the end when she envisioned the brutality that unfairly fell on her shoulders.

Jennie pulled the blanket higher so that it covered all the way to her chin as guilt swarmed her. She was the one who gave Somi the advice to fight back. Seeing the result of it, Jennie could not help but feel a sense of responsibility for what had happened.

She did not know how long she was in this room for, patiently waiting for Somi to wake up. When the nurses came in to check every few hours, she would always ask about her condition, even though only a short span of time had passed.

Her heart would not settle until Somi was awake, so she waited, and waited, until the sunset in the east, making way for the moon. Even when the stars came out to play, lighting up the benevolent skies, she still stayed by the hospital bed.

Eventually, sleep and fatigue had taken a toll on her body and despite her fight to stay awake, Jennie's eyelids finally closed. Soon, she was slumped on the edge of the bed, one hand holding Somi's while the other was settled on the blanket.

At night, the only sounds that could be heard in the hospital were the beeping of the machines, the janitors cleaning up the hallways, and the tiny chatter of the nurses downstairs, a pair of authoritative footsteps could be heard approaching the hospital room.

Hojin Manoban strolled down the hallway with his people in tow. His most-trusted subordinate, Jing Caoxiao accompanied him a few steps behind, like the rest of his people.

When he had received word of what happened to his precious granddaughter, he wanted to rush here as soon as possible, but he had a very busy day and could not come until late at night when all of his work was completed.
