Ye-Jin could feel that the vibe between the two of them was odd, so she did not say anything. When Jennie helped her up, her empty glance turned to Jisoo, and naturally, she did not see anything.
As he watched the mother and daughter move further away, Jisoo did not chase them. He remained with both hands in his pocket as he silently looked on... and on...
After a while, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he noticed a booklet on the bench. He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and picked it up to look.
Unexpectedly, it was a very delicate drawing booklet.
He casually flipped it open, and what greeted his sight was a cartoon pig!
It was drawn quite well and seemed very comical. There was even that familiar graceful and flowing handwriting at the bottom.
If love tells me to continue on this journey, then I will continue to chase it till the end of my life.
He continued to flip to another page and saw another cartoon pig. However, its form was different from the last one. This was very silly and cute, and there was also a line written at the bottom.
A certain person's dishes taste like Father's cooking...
He continued to flip.
What should be let go will never be urged to stay. What should be urged to stay will never be let go!
...
Every word and sentence was so encouraging. This thick book just had a few drawings in front, and the comics were probably all drawn impromptu.
Could these exhibits of strength be how she managed to get through everything?
A smile suddenly flashed across Jisoo's handsome face. How unexpected! She looked so cold and unfriendly, yet she would draw such cute... pigs.
This little woman seemed to be a gem. With a little digging, you would find unexpected surprises!
No wonder Lisa so quickly put her under his wing. However, whether or not he could keep her forever did not seem to be certain!
Soon, Jisoo slowly closed the drawing book. With a faint smile still on his face, he looked toward the direction that the mother and daughter pair had left, but any traces of them had long vanished.
...
Back at the ward, she had just helped Ye-Jin to lie down on the bed when Yeji came over with a Thermos.
It was the soup that Hae Sook had specially brewed for Ye-Jin. Because it tasted quite delicious, Ye-Jin drank more than two bowls at a go.
Yeji and Ye-Jin were not distant either. They chatted quite happily, and she stayed for a long while before she left.
At this moment, the sky outside had darkened. The streetlamps that flickered shone in through the window from the side and the night breeze felt slightly cool too.
There was only one dim light in the ward. After Jennie carefully helped Ye-Jin with her shower, Ye-Jin fell asleep comfortably, while Jennie lay down sleepily on the bedside, feeling slightly worn out.
It was only when the special care nurses came over to call her that she woke up in a daze.
When she picked up her phone to check the time, she realized that Lisa had called her five or six times in a row, but she had not heard the calls.
She rubbed the space between her brows a little exhaustedly, then called him back. When he picked up, Lisa was already rushing over to the hospital.
"Has the nurse that we hired gone over?" Lisa soft voice came through.
"Mmm, they're here. Mother's asleep too. You should go home first. I'm going to accompany Mother tonight."
Before Jennie finished speaking to Lisa, Ye-Jin who was in a light slumber had awoken and quickly insisted, "Jennie, I'm fine. It's not like I can't move around. You've been tired the whole day too. You looked quite pale. Go home, I'm fine. It's alright with the nurses here. You won't be able to keep up if you strain yourself like this every day!"
"Go home, Mrs. Manoban. Just leave things here to me. Master Manoban especially asked you to go home to rest earlier. I will take good care of Teacher Son."
"Okay, that's enough. Go home. If you don't, I'm going to chase you out!" Ye-Jin spoke quite frankly, then she pushed Jennie away.
Jennie then stood up helplessly. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, then I'll go home first."
"Go!"
"Sis Fu, I'll leave my mother in your good hands then. Call me if there's anything, or call Lisa. Our phones are switched on 24/7," reminded Jennie worriedly.
"Got it. Go home. it's quite late!"
...
Then, Jennie picked her handbag up and slowly walked out of the door. Lisa still had not hung up on the other end of the phone.
"Just wait for me at the hospital entrance."
"I've arrived. Come down quickly."
...
Soon, Jennie reached the entrance of the hospital. From afar, she could already see the Porsche that was parked underneath the streetlamps by the roadside. She had just reached the car when Lisa opened the car door to the front passenger seat from inside.
Jennie sat inside, closed the car door, and quickly buckled up as she took the wet towel he handed to wipe her face and hands. "Grandpa's gone home, hasn't he?"
Lisa saw her gaze and could already tell what she was thinking, so he consoled her while reaching out to fix her hair that had been messed up by the wind as he spoke, "Mmm, I sent him back to the Son residence before I came over. He's quite a strong-willed person too."
"Tired?" he asked softly when he saw the fatigue between her brows.
"I'm alright. Today, I woke up quite early. I'll wake up later tomorrow." She could not help but hold her forehead and sigh, "I hope that Mother's condition can be stabilized soon. I'm quite worried."
"The doctor has said it's fine, so it'll be fine. What are you worried about? Sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we reach home."
Then, he gently nudged her forehead and let her lean on his shoulder before he started the car.
"Mmm... Remember to wake me up when we get home." Jennie did not reject and gently leaned on him as she closed her dry and tired eyes.
...
After a while, she suddenly called out to him, "Lisa?"
"Mmm? What is it?" he responded as he looked down at her.
"Didn't you say you were going to help me handle Chaerin? Today, she came looking for trouble with my mother again. It was Jisoo who managed to stop her in time. Chaerin was even planning to get back at me with a medical document to prove her injuries were a result of me beating her up," she could not help but complain.
Kim Jisoo?
Lisa's expression darkened slightly, but he reacted very quickly. "Be patient. When Father's end is done, then I'll help you get back at her, okay?"
"Mmm? I remember now. Today, you were betting on something with Grandpa. Is it about Father?" Jennie suddenly thought about this. She looked at him as she squinted her starry eyes.
"Do you really want to know?" he asked softly as he smiled at her.
"Obviously," she responded, her slender arms subconsciously looped around his arm. "I knew that it'd definitely be related to Father. When Grandpa talks about Father, he would get angry, but he actually has mix feelings about it."
Lisa chuckled. "Regarding this suspenseful story, you'll find out in a few more days."
