The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 3

Chapter 476: Shocked! (3)

Thud!

As Haruto vanished out of the door, Seulgi and Naeyon came rushing in.

"Jennie! Jennie! How are you feeling? Are you alright?"

Naeyon was freaked out. Before Jennie could react, she rushed in and grabbed her as she looked around frantically.

Jennie took a deep breath. The fear in her eyes had not totally left yet, but she patted Naeyon's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

She turned around to look at Lisa and noticed that he was hiding his arm. She squinted at him and quickly grabbed his left arm to roll his sleeve up only to see a bleeding bite mark!

"You were bitten!" Jennie yelled out of shock as her body shivered! "Go to the hospital now!"

Her heart was beating like a bullet train. She grabbed Lisa and was about to rush outside.

"It's okay!" Lisa pulled her back with a frown. "Don't worry!"

"Okay, don't move him. Does anyone have a small knife?" Moonbyul spoke up. Immediately, one of the bodyguards handed him a sharp little dagger.

"Don't worry, Jennie, it'll be alright! Move aside for a bit," Moonbyul comforted her as he grabbed Lisa's bitten arm. He carefully sliced a cross mark on the bite before lowering his head and sucking out the poisonous blood. He only stopped when the blood he spat out became bright red again.

He took the Band-aid one of the bodyguards passed over and stuck it onto Lisa's arm. Then, he went over to the sink to rinse off the blood in his mouth and wash his hands.

Moonbyul wiped his hand with the tissue handed by the bodyguards as he said, "Alright, now we'll head to the hospital. It'll be fine after injecting the antidote. Don't worry."

"Let's head to the hospital now then," Jennie said decisively.

"I'll head over with you guys. Seulgi, stay here and take care of the rest. Let's go." Without waiting for Lisa's reply, Moonbyul dragged him out and Jennie followed right behind them.

...

A car was already waiting as they arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Sky Hotel. They rushed straight to Hospital T after they got into the car.

The doctor immediately examined Lisa's wound.

"Master Manoban, Master Lee, it's alright now. The wound was treated in time, and with the snake captured, it'll be fine after we inject the antidote. Be careful at home and don't let the wound come into contact with water," advised the doctor as he looked at Lisa elegantly adjusting his sleeve.

He asked curiously, "Master Manoban, this poison is quite strong and this snake doesn't usually appear easily. How...?"

Lisa did not reply to the doctor. Instead, his expression just darkened.

Jennie frowned slightly as well. He was holding her hand, and Moonbyul appeared to be deep in thought.

After a while, Lisa stood up. He grabbed Jennie's hand, but his eyes were looking at Moonbyul while his tone was calm. "Let's go back. Seulgi should be arriving at the Maple Residence soon."

Moonbyul nodded and turned to give the doctor a smile before leaving with Lisa.

It was already midnight when they arrived back at the Maple Residence and Seulgi was waiting in the living room.

Sis Wang and the others had been working until pretty late recently, and today was no exception either.

"I didn't tell them what happened, so they wouldn't worry. All of them have gone back already. So, what happened?" Seulgi asked with a frown as they sat down.

Lisa looked at his bandaged wound before glancing at Seulgi. "Have you found the security footages?"

Seulgi's expression darkened as he lowered his head. "Haruto went to look for it just now and realized the security cameras are being repaired. Someone must've planned this."

Moonbyul's expression darkened as well. Lisa still seemed calm as if he had already seen this coming.

"Have some tea first. I'll prepare something to eat." Jennie brewed tea for them and then went back into the kitchen.

"Lisa, I think Jennie was the target! I wonder who the perpetrator is! That snake couldn't have been there on its own unless someone put it there. We'll wait for news from Haruto."

"I think that the possibility is very high. Do you want to ask Jennie if she...?"

Before Seulgi could finish his sentence, Lisa raised his hand and stopped him. His expression turned chilly. "It might not be that case. This reminds me of the accident in City B."

Moonbyul and Seulgi were both startled by Lisa's words. They traded glances with each other. "You mean you suspect..."

"It's still unclear right now. I can't make a very good guess, but what happened today is definitely intentional. When I rushed over, there was an 'out of order' sign outside the toilet. It means that someone arranged it in a way to lock Jennie in there after she went into the washroom and then leave the venomous snake there. The intention was obvious," Lisa analyzed calmly.

"The doctor investigated the venom in the hospital. It's not lethal. Due to the Imperial Sky Hotel's patrol schedule, they would patrol around the hotel every hour, so they would've surely noticed and questioned it if they saw that the toilet was under repair. Then, they would've found out what happened inside."

"I understand what you mean now. The perpetrator isn't trying to kill. Maybe he or she has the same intention as the previous incident in City B. Is he or she trying to leave us a warning? A threat?" Seulgi understood it almost immediately, but his expression was still grim.

"Things would be much more complicated if that's the case. The enemies are in the dark and we can't fully protect ourselves from them. No wonder Ryujin has been extra careful than before, and there are more people around you now," Moonbyul said with a serious expression.

"Who is making such a deliberate plan against you?" Seulgi asked with a frown.

Lisa put his hand onto his forehead as he replied with an exhausted tone, "They were sending strong messages here. My opinions are still under speculation, so we'll wait for news from Haruto. I hope things aren't like what I imagined."

The two of them nodded when they noticed how exhausted Lisa was.

"Alright, let's not overthink it now."
