Jennie stopped Yong Gun who was about to swing his walking stick again, crying out in alarm, "Grandpa!"

As she shouted, she reflexively looked toward Hyunbin and saw that his left hand was already swollen. His entire hand trembled with pain. The walking stick had hit him right on his finger. It must have hurt very much.

However, Hyunbin's expression remained calm. There were only signs of enduring the pain between his brows, and he was looking straight up at Yong Gun whose expression had hardened.

Ye-Jin reacted at this moment too. She quickly sat up straight and widened her eyes. She struggled to hurl both her hands out. "Father!"

"How dare you come here? Do you think I'm dead?"

Yong Gun gripped his walking stick tightly as his old eagle eyes were dense with a sharp coldness. He looked bitterly at Hyunbin.

"Grandpa, don't be so worked up. Sit and talk." Jennie blocked Yong Gun, afraid that he was going to beat Hyunbin up again. Knowing Yong Gun's temper, it was very likely that he would. In fact, Hyunbin definitely would not evade him too.

"How can I not be worked up? Look at the kind of woman he married?"

"My daughter was willing to desert me to go with you, and look how you've treated her! How did the Kim family treat her? I have never liked you. If it weren't for my child's dignity, do you think I wouldn't dare to give you a lesson?"

Yong Gun flew into a rage, pointing at Hyunbin with his walking stick and cursing, "You've got it going great for you! Kim Jiyang's not a good person either. He's been doing pretty steadily as a government official all these years, letting the two women ride on his neck. You two have really benefitted from them! Why did you come over? Do you deserve to come?"

"Grandpa, Grandpa, that's enough! Father's just here to take care of Mother..."

"Does he deserve to be your father? Do you still call him your father? He's the husband and father of those two women in the Kim family. Who's your father? Did you forget about the hurt now that your scar's healed? You, get out! Immediately! We can't fit the Buddha in here. Don't tarnish my daughter's reputation!" Yong Gun fiercely lashed out at Hyunbin, tossing the rolled up newspapers in his hand at Hyunbin.

Hyunbin reflexively reached out to catch it. What greeted his sight was a headline about him and Ye-Jin!

"Father, I..."

"Father? Who's your father? Don't call me father. Your father is Kim Jiyang, that shameless, old fellow! Go! Don't come and harm my daughter. Isn't it all because of you that things are what they are today? If you're a man, then take responsibility." Yong Gun's tone was hostile as though his words were his daggers. He did not leave Hyunbin any dignity at all!

Hyunbin was not angry either because it was his fault that they were where they are today. As long as he could fight for Ye-Jin again, he would do anything. This little lesson was nothing. He had long prepared to receive Yong Gun's lecture.

"Father, I know this is my fault, so I will take responsibility. I will take care of Na Na with my whole heart from now on. Please believe me."

"Don't talk nonsense with me here. Do you think I'm the foolish Ye-Jin from years ago? That I'll just believe whatever you say? Come talk to me when you've settled all your matters at home, you bastard!"

Yong Gun was getting angrier as he spoke. Clutching his walking stick, he wanted to walk over, so Jennie had to stop him herself. Lisa walked over in huge strides as well and saw that the back of Hyunbin's hand was already swollen. His gaze darkened a little.

"Father, Father! Don't be impulsive!"

Ye-Jin hurled out her hands in panic toward the source of the voices.

"Mother!"

Ye-Jin almost fell off the bed. Thankfully, Jennie was quick enough and Lisa was a step ahead, so the husband and wife managed to support Ye-Jin from her left and her right.

"Everyone, calm down. The doctor says Mother can't be provoked."

Jennie frowned and said, "Father, go home first. You've already stayed here for so long. You must be tired too."

Then, her clear gaze looked at Lisa as she said softly, "Send Father out. Grandpa's a little emotional. Don't make him worry further."

Nodding, Lisa turned to look at Ye-Jin and he could vaguely see that she had mixed emotions in her expression. It was not the same stillness from before.

"Mother, I'll let Lisa send Father back first."

When Ye-Jin heard her, she nodded. "Go then. Sorry for troubling you, Lisa."

"Father, come out for a while. I have some things I wanted to talk to you about too," said Lisa, then he walked out of the door. Throwing a look at the furious Yong Gun, Hyunbin shifted his gaze towards Ye-Jin on the sick bed. "Na Na, I'll come over again at night."

Ye-Jin did not answer. She just turned her head to the side. When Hyunbin saw that, his expression darkened, and he could only turn away and leave sadly.

Jennie looked calmly at that figure moving further away. She felt a bleakness in her heart, yet she could only quietly avert her gaze.

Following Lisa outside, Lisa who walked ahead only stopped when he reached a turning corner. Then, he turned to look at Hyunbin who also halted behind him.

When he saw Lisa's handsome face burdened with an indescribable heaviness, Hyunbin called out softly, "Lisa?"

The current Hyunbin still had some gloominess in between his brows while the back of his left hand was scarily swollen. He thought about it, then said, "Let's talk as we walk. Let's go over and get the doctor to help you fix your hand up first."

Then, before Hyunbin could say anything, he had already walked ahead, still holding the leather folder that Ryujin had passed to him earlier.

When they reached the nurses' station, he let the nurse apply some medication for Hyunbin, and then bandage it up before Lisa personally sent Hyunbin downstairs.

Upon reaching the car, Lisa, who had not really said anything all the way, finally spoke up softly, "Grandpa's temper is like that. Because he's worried about Mother, you don't have to take it to heart, Father. Jennie is quite worried about you."

Hyunbin nodded gently. "Mmm, I know. I don't blame him too. This is what I deserve. I'm really sorry for making you two worry!"

At this moment, Hyunbin did not have his all-powerful imposing manner and sharpness as he usually did in the political world. All that remained seemed to be a shell of fatigue and humility. It looked like he had been emptied out and his expression seemed a little dazed.

Seeing this, Lisa felt an unnamed gloominess in his heart. He looked down at his bandaged left hand. When Yong Gun hit him, he did not even make a sound which was enough to conclude that...

"The incident this time has actually impacted Mother a lot. She only pretends to be strong because of Jennie and you, and Grandpa, Father. Now that the matter has come to this, you shouldn't blame yourself so much."
