Naeyon leaned over and watched the little baby in Jennie's arms as she reached out to carefully brush his faint brows, and looked up miserably at Jennie.
Jennie returned her gaze, then continued to look down and hold her son's little hand as she chuckled. "Oh, you, just let the children go with the flow. It's not fashionable to arrange for the betrothal of children anymore. When he grows up, Lisa and I won't interfere in his relationship matters. We'll let him go about it himself. If he fancies Violet, I won't have any opinion on it either."
"May your son not mind dating an older girl even though I myself mind it a little..." Naeyon muttered.
"Has Jeongyeon's condition been better these few days?" Jennie asked.
When she mentioned that, Naeyon's eyes immediately dimmed, and she sighed. "It's still the same. He's not awake, but his wounds have all pretty much healed. I don't know when he'll be waking up either. Every day, I just see him lying on the bed unmoving. It makes me really sad."
Jennie held out a hand to hold Naeyon's gently as she consoled her friend, "Nannan, don't worry. Jeongyeon will definitely wake up. Just talk to him every day. He cares so much about you, and he loves you and Violet. He wouldn't just abandon the two of you. Now that his external injuries have healed, he can immediately be discharged once he wakes you. You can't be dispirited first."
"I know. Aren't I concerned now? Sigh, it's fine. I'm feeling better too. No matter what, I'll have to keep marching on. Right, I'll be returning to work after the 10th, so please give me some encouragement!" Naeyon sighed deeply and lifted a hand to pat the back of Jennie's hand, indicating for her to not worry.
"Go to work? Have you recovered already? Are you going to work so soon already?" Jennie looked a little worriedly at Naeyon who was getting thinner, she pondered for a bit, and then continued, "Nannan, how about you don't work at that company anymore? I'll ask Lisa to arrange for you to work in Glory World or you can work at Fuhua too. I'll arrange a light job for you. That way, you'll have more time to take care of your daughter and Jeongyeon."
"There's no need! Your companies aren't doing fashion design, so I won't be able to help even if I go over. Don't worry. I'm fine. My dream is to be a new age successful career woman. I used to always rely on Jeongyeon, and my skills have deteriorated terribly. Now that I think about, I've actually been holding him back. He's worked so hard. I should share his burden."
Jennie nodded. "Mmm, wait till you've adapted, then we can start a studio. You have great talents in design, and I believe in you."
"Mmm, when have I ever disappointed you? Right, I'll leave now. I'll come over to see you guys tomorrow. You take good care of yourself too. Being such a critical period now, don't treat your health lightly."
"I got it. You're nagging me just like a housekeeper. Go home now."
...
As she watched Naeyon's figure vanish out of the doorway, Jennie glanced up and sighed slightly. She felt her son reaching out for her from her embrace. Gazing down at him, she saw that he was watching her with wide, brightened eyes while his pair of hands waved about. He was not easy to manage with all the fiddling.
Leo rarely cried and always fell asleep after eating. Even the nurses praised that this baby was easy to manage as he would watch you quietly just like he was doing right now.
"Baby, you can go home with Father and Mother in another two days. Are you happy? Are you happy? Hmm?"
"Does he understand what you're saying to him?"
Jennie just finished cooing when a familiar voice suddenly came from the door. She looked up to the source of the voice and saw Jisoo leaning against the door with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his arms.
"It's you?" Jennie stared in shock at Jisoo by the door. "Everyone seemed to have returned to the office for work today. How do you have time to come?"
Jisoo shrugged, lifting the flowers in his arms. "It's not my company. The upper management has a meeting that has got nothing to do with me. I knew that you gave birth to a son, so I came over to visit. Can I come in?"
Jennie then looked away and to the chair beside her bed, before Jisoo walked in.
He put the flowers on the bedside table, then immediately closed in to Jennie and looked at Leo in Jennie's embrace in awe as if he was discovering a new world. He looked very curious. "All newborn babies look the same. Which bastard told me he looked like a copy of Lisa? Wasn't that just nonsense? Mmm? His eyes are quite bright! Come on. Uncle is a good person. Smile!" Jisoo said as he reached out to pinch Leo's soft, cottony cheeks.
This pinch really brought it—
Waaaaa!
A loud and clear cry immediately exploded in the room!
This sudden wail shocked Jisoo whose legs subconsciously felt weak suddenly. The nurses and Ye-Jin all rushed in from the door.
"Baby—"
"Why's it crying?"
"Move away!"
Jisoo was immediately shoved to the side. The nurse, Ye-Jin, and Jennie all quickly coaxed Leo and his earth-shattering cries while Jennie frowned and glared at him. He could only move aside and keep quiet.
Meanwhile, on the inside, he cried to himself.
Bloody hell, this was truly Lisa's seed, both father and son were Jisoo's bane!
Earlier, his fingertips had only grazed his cheeks lightly. He had not even pinched him, yet he cried like this. How wronged was he?!
Finally, they managed to coax the baby to sleep, and Ye-Jin and the nurse carried him back to the incubator.
"I didn't do anything earlier. Your son is really quite..." Jisoo quickly explained.
"A child's reaction is the most intuitive. If you didn't do anything, he wouldn't have cried. Have you finished all your work since you're here? I heard from Lisa a few days ago that Kim Group's planning on putting in another person-in-charge for the South River project No. 1? What's going on?" Jennie looked calmly at Jisoo with her twinkling eyes.
"Didn't Lisa tell you?" Jisoo looked at her in surprise
"Tell me what? He hasn't been telling me about work. By the time I recover, I'd probably be unfamiliar with the company's business. But the work on South River has finally gotten right on track, so I hope there won't be huge changes."
"That's the intentions of the higher-ups. They're planning to move Miyeon over to be in charge of the project with me."
"What do you mean?" Jennie frowned.
"Well, I'm afraid Lisa would know better." Jisoo's handsome flashed with a faint smile, yet his tone sounded cynical.
