Naeyon did not even know how she made it to Hospital T. When she saw Yeji covered in blood while waiting outside the operating theatre, she felt so suffocated that she almost fainted.
"Naeyon!"
When she saw Naeyon go limp, Yeji quickly helped to hold her up and held her to sit on a chair on the side. Upon seeing her being covered in the coppery stench of blood, Naeyon felt her stomach turn.
Naeyon's eyes started to turn red as she held back the tears that welled up in her eyes. She gripped Yeji's arms tightly and asked anxiously, "How... How's Jeongyeon? How is he now?"
Yeji's expression was solemn. She turned to look at the doors to the operating theatre that were tightly shut. After a while, she turned to console her, "Don't worry first. He'll be fine. We have to trust the doctors. He'll be fine, so don't worry."
Actually, Yeji was quite afraid and could not hide the slight tremble in her voice. Earlier, Jeongyeon was covered in blood when he was sent there, and even her hands were stained crimson. She almost fainted from that strong stench as the nightmare from five years ago roared into her mind. A similar scene was clearly creeping into her mind again.
The car accident had happened not too far away from the Imperial Sky Entertainment Club. Before that, Jeongyeon had called her to send the CD to the door, but unexpectedly...
When Jennie received this news, she was in a discussion on closing a deal with a partner company with Ryujin.
Inside the luxurious private room, the food and drinks were ordered. When Jennie was about to make a toast to the other party with water in place of alcohol, Ryujin walked over with a solemn expression and whispered into her ear, and she immediately turned pale.
Without a care, she picked her handbag up and left the room.
The Phaeton rushed all the way and when she reached Hospital T, it was already an hour later.
The light of the operating theatre was still switched on. From afar, she could see Naeyon with her hands in her face as she bent over and her frail shoulders trembled slightly. Yeji had already taken her coat off and put it over her shoulders.
Naeyon came out in a rush, wearing only a wool sweater and seeming rather weak. Jennie felt her heart ache at this sight as she quickly walked over.
"Nay Nay!"
When she heard Jennie's voice come from in front of her, Naeyon looked up. The tears that had been pooling in her reddened eyes for a long time immediately fell in worry and fear at the sight of Jennie. Soon, the floor was wet with tears.
Heartbroken, Jennie quickly went up and hugged Naeyon around her shoulders.
"Jennie... I'm so afraid. I'm really afraid... Even Yeji was covered in blood. Jeongyeon... Will he be okay? Will he? Our daughter is still so young. If something happens to him, what do I do? What do I do..."
"It's fine, it'll be fine, Nay Nay...Heaven helps the good people like Jeongyeon, he will be fine...no matter what, I will be right by your side..."
Jennie took a deep breath and pushed back the hot tears that welled up in her eyes as she hugged Naeyon's cold body tightly. She only knew right now that no matter how strong she usually was, at such a time, she would be weak too.
When she heard Jennie, Naeyon cried out instead, "Jennie... Jennie..."
Naeyon clutched Jennie's arms tightly as she shifted closer. It felt like she was holding onto the last straw as if her world was ending.
Jennie consoled her quietly as she gazed at the tightly shut doors of the operating theatre, and then down at Naeyon who was wan and sallow from worry. Feeling like she did know what she could do right now, she felt her heart throb even more. She could only hug her tightly, wanting to give her cold body a hint of warmth.
Ryujin slowly came to Yeji's side and considerately took his windbreaker off to put it over her. Upon seeing the worry and sorrow that gathered between her brows, he softly sympathized, "Don't worry. He'll be fine."
Yeji then softly said through her sobs, "I'm really afraid that he'll turn out like Suho... This misfortune won't happen to us again, will it?"
In a raspy voice, when she recalled the horrible accident that happened to Suho years ago, trauma still lingered!
"No, it won't. Don't panic." Ryujin obviously did not know how to console her either. He could only sit down and hold her by the shoulders before pulling her into his embrace.
After Jennie eased for a while, she suppressed the pain and worry before turning to Yeji. "Yeji, what happened? How did this accident happen?"
With a pale face, Yeji said with self-blame and bitterness, "This is all my fault. I had some classics CDs with me that I wanted to pass to Naeyon, but because I've been busy, I couldn't, so I let Naeyon come get it... Who would've thought this would happen?"
"This is not your fault, Yeji. I told Jeongyeon to go get it. It was all my fault... I don't know why recently why..."
"Okay, Yeji, Naeyon, now's not the time to beat yourselves up. We have to clarify some things." Jennie could still maintain a clear head. Apart from waiting anxiously, there were obviously other matters to sort out.
"Jeongyeon's car crashed into a Maserati. Do you guys know who the owner of the Maserati is?" Yeji slowly pushed the storm of emotions in her heart down and spoke in a raspy voice. She slowly looked up to Jennie and Ryujin, ridicule crossing her face.
When Jennie and Ryujin heard that question, they exchanged a look before looking back in doubt at Yeji, waiting for her to continue.
"It's Miyeon. She was sent here with Jeongyeon. When I rushed over, Jeongyeon was already covered in blood. I'm not quite sure what's the situation on her end. Based on the scene, it looked a little..."
When Yeji said this, she did not continue and subconsciously looked at the tearful Naeyon.
Jennie's chest suddenly tightened as her expression turned solemn.
Miyeon!
It was that woman!
The other day, she had even met her once and knew she was a powerful character. She wondered how she was.
She sighed and then glanced at Ryujin. "Ryujin, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for this."
Ryujin got up and nodded, saying heavily, "Missus, don't worry. When I arrived, I already delegated for someone to find out about what happened at the scene. We'll see what the police say."
