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

Chapter 576: Past (3)

Dark crimson blood colored the blanket before Sis Lan as her face was terrifyingly pale. Her trembling hands held her chest tightly while she panted with difficulty.

"I don't know... I don't know anything, don't know anything..." Her feeble voice muttered, and then she fainted. At this moment, the tightly shut door opened and the doctors rushed in.

Lisa coldly looked at Sis Lan who had fainted on the sickbed before he hinted to Ryujin. With a nod, he then turned to leave as Ryujin followed him, leaving the doctor who was trying to rescue her behind.

As soon as they got out, Ryujin immediately asked Lisa, "Master, how did it go? Did Sis Lan say anything?"

"She didn't need to say anymore. It was just the same things. Let's go back," said Lisa calmly as he looked up at the rising sun outside the window before walking ahead.

"Master, did she say that... years ago, Aunty..." Ryujin carefully probed.

Lisa smiled and said mysteriously, "She admitted that Kim Joon is Mr. Wen, but I know that things aren't as simple as that. When she confirmed Mr. Wen's identity, the more doubts I have. Some things might be surfacing very soon."

"Then, based on your thoughts, Master, if Mr. Wen is really Kim Joon, according to your guess, wouldn't Kim Joon be related to Aunty? Previously, Aunty and Lu Xinlan's fallout could then perhaps have been because of Kim Joon!" Ryujin made a brave assumption.

Lisa's expression was gloomy, yet he did not answer Ryujin.

"Master, could Kim Joon really be Suho and Yeji's biological father?" When Ryujin said this, he gasped himself.

If that was the truth, then Yeji...

When Ryujin thought about this, his expression changed slightly too. His chest sank and ached while his gaze turned solemn.

Lisa could hear the heaviness in his breathing. He turned and looked at him. "Before things are cleared up, let's not make any rash conclusions. I think that it's a little complicated, so we can't be sure. If we want to know the truth, we'll need those in the know to reveal it. However, at least, we have a lead from today."

Even though Lisa's tone was rather heavy, he did not sound terribly pessimistic.

He lifted a hand to gesture to Ryujin. "Find a way to do a DNA test for Kim Joon and Yeji. Remember, don't let anyone else know about this, especially Grandfather and Grandmother. Got it?"

Ryujin was stunned, but he quickly nodded. "Yes, Master, got it!"

"Mmm, go back then. You don't have to follow me. It's Mid-Autumn Festival today. You and Yeji should go back and accompany Grandfather and Grandmother. Your sis-in-law and I are making a trip to the Son residence, and we won't be returning tonight," Lisa said prior to picking up his pace.

Once he left the hospital, Lisa went straight back to Maple Residence.

It was still quite early when Jennie had just woken up. She changed into a casual autumn outfit and slowly walked down the stairs when she saw the man sitting on the sofa and propping his head up with his eyes closed as he rested.

Just then, Sis Wang was just about to brew some tea for Lisa.

When she saw Jennie coming down, Sis Wang was about to greet her but Jennie stopped her. She smiled and nodded lightly. Then, she quickly took the tea leaves and swapped it for bitter tea before walking to the coffee table. She skillfully brewed a cup, and then brought it to Lisa, gently setting the cup before him.

She was about to get up and leave when a cold hand suddenly gripped her hand.

Jennie turned to see that he was still leaning back. Without even opening his eyes, he quietly pulled her in while his expression looked faintly sorrowful.

As she sat down near him, she vaguely smelled a faint cigarette stench. She immediately frowned and briefly examined him with squinted eyes, then fixed his slightly wrinkled tie. "What's wrong? I didn't see you when I woke up. Where did you go? You smell of smoke. Did you smoke?"

Lisa then slowly opened his eyes. He bent over to pick up the tea and carefully took a sip, "How rare that my Missus found the time to brew me tea, but why is it this tea?"

When she heard this, Jennie immediately laughed softly. "Bitter tea clears the heart. I can see that you're not in the best of moods. I haven't steeped tea myself for quite a while. Have my skills worsened?"

"How could it have? The tea you steep is the most delicious tea I've ever drunk."

He chuckled softly and lowered his head to take another sip, then he slowly set it aside. Jennie was still quietly watching him as she smiled calmly. "How have I never noticed that you are such a sweet talker, Mr. Manoban?"

He chuckled softly and reached over to hold her by the shoulders. "That would depend on who the other person is. Missus Manoban is an important person I need to protect, so of course, I can only say all sweet things to you."

She shot him a look and complained grouchily, "I don't think so. Just a few days ago, you lectured me. You said that I'm too pleased with myself that I've lost my sense of measure."

"You should feel lucky that your Mr. Manoban is watching you. Even if you aren't good, I can't return the goods and can only accept all of your completely exposed flaws. You women, when it comes to holding a grudge, you can be really terrifying— Mmm!"

Before he could finish, a stinging pain came from his waist. He could not help but softly chide, "And you can be especially mean!"

"Drink your tea. Forget about nit-picking on women." She shot him a warning look.

"How dare I... My Missus is mighty. How dare I nit-pick you?" As he said this, he could not help but hug her as he lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"Where did you go so early in the morning?" She pecked him lightly on the cheek too.

"I went out to walk around and made a trip to the hospital." Lisa did not deliberately hide it and just told her.

"Hospital? Why did you go there?" When Jennie heard, she looked at him puzzledly.

"I went to see someone. Let's set this aside for now," he responded and then turned to Sis Wang who was busy. "Sis Wang, bring the gift in the storeroom to the car."

"Okay, Master Manoban!" Sis Wang answered quickly.

"Are we going to the Son residence now?" Jennie asked.

They had yet to go over to the Manoban residence to greet them. Would that not be...?

"Just do as Grandmother has said. Ryujin and Yeji will return to the Manoban residence tonight. Let's have dinner with Grandpa tonight. He considered that you might still be sleeping, so he called me earlier."

"Mmm, that works too. We'll go over earlier after lunch, and I'll give you a chance to show off tonight."
