The atmosphere became heavy after Jieun's reply. Everyone looked tense.
They understood how much Jennie loved her career and how much effort she had invested in it. They would try their best to protect what she held dear.
Lisa quietly observed the girl behind the glass window. After a short moment of silence, he grimly said, "If Jennie is still unconscious after three months, announce her actual situation."
Jieun nodded. The deadline Lisa had given was somewhat similar to the estimation of the tenure she could handle.
"During this period of time, I'll manage Jennie's social media accounts and try my best to drag on in order to maintain Jennie's popularity. It'd be best if Jennie wakes up, but... if things go out of control, I'll hold a press conference and prepare a suitable explanation to tell Jennie's fans."
Jieun understood that the chances of Jennie's recovery were low, but she wanted to try as long as there was hope.
Fortunately, Jennie was staying in the military sanatorium. There was nowhere else that could offer more privacy, so they could avoid any news from leaking.
However, just what had happened for Jennie to be injured this badly?
Jieun could sense that there was a lot of secrets within the Manoban family involved, so she did not pry into it. She was Jennie's manager. All she had to know was that she would give her all to protect Jennie's career.
"Mmm." Lisa nodded and agreed to Jieun's plan. He then gave Jieun his personal number. "Call me directly if there's anything about Jennie."
"Okay." Jieun nodded.
Now, she understood why Jennie, the freedom-loving girl, would choose this man in front of her.
With Lisa's position and identity, he could have built a wall around her, given her everything she wanted and made her follow his will.
Jennie had been in a relationship with Lisa behind her back and she had never noticed it. Jennie had even told her that Ke Mingyu was Lisa.
This man loved her, yet he had never forced her to do anything. He stayed by her side, respected her, and protected her everything.
As Jieun was discussing the details with Lisa, Alison was staring at Jennie behind the glass window with a pale face.
"Jen... Is there any chance of her waking up? When will she wake up? In three months?" Alison asked desperately.
Jisoo replied with an awkward tone, "Not sure. Even the doctors don't know when she'll wake up. She might... never wake up..."
"You mean Jennie might stay like this her whole life?" Alison's trembling got even worse.
Jisoo put on a bitter smile. "It's not impossible..."
Jisoo's words flipped a switch inside her. Alison seemed to break down. She covered her face and cried, kneeling on the floor and wailing loudly, "Jen... I'm sorry... It's my fault... It's all my fault! I'm sorry... sorry..."
Jieun was taken aback when she saw Alison crying out loud on the ground. She turned around to ask, "Alison, what's wrong?"
