The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 5

Chapter 874: Worsen (1)

Raising his handsome brows, he reached out to flip through the document. "The data's not too complicated, so you should do it. Once you've done more of this, you'll get used to it, hmm?"

Jennie shot him a glance, then spread open her hands dully to say, "I just knew you'd say that."

"Alright now. If you won't go through this tiny trouble, how are you going to be Fuhua's CEO Kim? Think about how Grandpa's been holding on for so many years. You should be able to get through it too." He reached out and gently patted her head as he consoled her.

Jennie just nodded. "I'll do my best. Did you do something with Seulgi?"

"Nothing, he was just bored and asked us out to pass the time with him. Before Moonbyul got married, the two of them could still drink with each other, but things are different now. He was saying that he felt a little upset."

When Lisa recalled the things that Seulgi had said when he was sending him back, he could not help but chuckle helplessly.

Upon hearing that, Jennie could roughly understand. She thought about it, then smiled. "That's why you two can't neglect him too. I know how that feels. I remember when Naeyon and Jeongyeon first started going out, I felt like I had just broken up too, so I was very depressed. I kept feeling like my good friend had been stolen away from me. I was just upset."

"Why would you feel that way? As good of a friend or buddy they may be, they would need to start their own family and their own lives. You can't always be tightly knit forever, especially life from here on out. Still, since it's a genuine friendship, you don't need to say much as buddies. Naturally, you've carved a space for them in your heart. As long as they need you, you'd be there for them without a second thought. There's no need to think about how to keep in contact because even if you don't, as long as you see them, you'd feel at ease and just as close," Lisa said with a profound gaze.

Jennie's eyes flickered. She shrugged and responded, "I don't know either. I only have one friend and that's Naeyon. When I used to see her getting close to other female classmates, and when Jeongyeon and her relationship was confirmed, I felt very sad. I almost thought I had fallen in love with Naeyon."

"What nonsense thinking is that? Such improper thoughts!" Lisa reprimanded.

"I'm being real, but I know that Naeyon's my best friend forever just like you with Moonbyul and Seulgi, so you have to care for Seulgi more. He helped us a lot the last time too."

"Missus, you don't have to say that, but I do feel that what Seulgi needs most right now is a woman!"

Jennie smiled in agreement, and after that, her face was colored with sorrow as she sighed, "I don't know when Jeongyeon's going to wake up. It's been so long. The other day, I asked the doctor about there not being any signs of him regaining consciousness. The doctor said that he might stay like this. A few days ago when I saw Naeyon, she was so thin. Even though she put on a strong front, I could feel a sense of helplessness and weakness from her. This can't keep going on like this. Can you see if you can contact more prominent and experienced hospitals abroad?"

Lisa thought about it, then reached out to hold her. "Don't worry. I'll think of a way."

She then nodded and obediently leaned into his embrace.

When she thought about Naeyon and Jeongyeon, Jennie could not help but be worried. The next day, she went to visit Jeongyeon at the hospital.

Naeyon had just finished wiping Jeongyeon and changed him into a set of clean clothes.

Jennie stood before the sickbed and looked at Jeongyeon who remained unconscious. Her gaze could not help but turn teary. When she turned to look at Naeyon, she realized that she was also staring at Jeongyeon while being lost in thought.

"Nan Nan..." When she saw Naeyon's dazed expression, Jennie walked over and gently patted her on the shoulders.

Naeyon turned to look at Jennie a little startled. Suddenly, her eyes glistened. She could not help but cover the second half of her face as she turned and ran out of the ward.

"Mr. Yoo's body has begun to show signs of muscle atrophy. If he doesn't regain consciousness soon, even when he wakes up, he might be paralyzed and may not be able to take care of himself. Miss Lee, please be mentally prepared for that. His situation has been worsening recently. We never would have thought it would turn out this way." The doctor's heavy words from earlier echoed in Jennie's ears too as she looked at the empty doorway. Concern could not help but flash in her eyes as sadness overwhelmed her. She could only take a few deep breaths before walking towards the bed.

"Jeongyeon, I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can, I beg you to try harder. You have to wake up as soon as you can. Naeyon can barely hold on anymore. Can you bear to see her break down? Or can you bear to see such a fragile woman go on with such a young daughter? You once promised me that you'd take good care of her for the rest of her life. You bastard, you can't go back on your word! You got that?"

Jennie's fists clenched as her surpressed voice spoke into Jeongyeon's ear.

Then, her eyes turned moist too.

"You're just lying there like that. How are you supposed to love and protect her? How are you supposed to protect your wife and daughter? Quickly wake up! You've slept enough!"

After that, she choked on her sobs and could not continue anymore. She sniffled and left the ward, but she did not notice that just as she turned around to leave, Jeongyeon's eyes that were tightly shut suddenly had moisture forming at the corners...

Jennie found Naeyon at the corner turn of the staircase. Her eyes were already reddened, yet she did not cry. When she saw Jennie come over, she hugged her and silently cried. Meanwhile, Jennie just stood there like that, letting her hug her as she wished.

It was not sure how long she had cried for before she stopped. Jennie's shoulder was all wet.

"Alright now. Don't cry anymore. Here, wipe your tears." Jennie then patted the back of her hand and consoled her, "It's just a possibility. We don't know what will happen in the future."

"I have always known this possibility. That's why I feel a little hopeless now. Jennie, I don't quite know what to do anymore," Naeyon said with a slightly raspy voice.

"Don't worry. There'll be a way. I'll think of a way, so don't panic first. Let's go home now. Jeongyeon has special nurses watching over him, so don't worry. I'll send you home first."
