The Wife Is A Superstar 6

Chapter 1124 - Fighting Together

After lunch time, Jiyong was officially discharged from the hospital. Haruto personally helped in the procedure. Jisoo called her best friend and took a day off from work. Chaeng allowed her after learning that Jiyong had finally woken up.

Jiyong, Jisoo and Grandpa were now on their way to Dragon Palace Home #10. They were riding the old man's ostentatious limousine.

At first, Grandpa wanted to bring Jiyong to his Mediterranean-style mansion in the suburbs to help his grandson recover faster by breathing fresher air but Jiyong surprisingly said that he wanted to stay at his third brother's home instead. Grandpa agreed without any fuss because he planned on staying at Dragon Palace anyway to wait for the safe birth of his great-grandbaby from Jennie and Lisa.

The excited Grandpa was phoning everyone and letting them know that his grandson, the pinhead, had finally woken up. Jisoo continued sticking close to Jiyong, afraid that he would collapse and go into coma again if she left him just like what happened before.

Jiyong held her chin and tilted it upwards so that they were looking at each other. Then he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips—slowly, carefully, and thoroughly.

She melted into him and was the one who increased the intensity of their kiss, sucking and biting his lips, looking like a hungry person finally able to eat after a long time.

He groaned and deepened the kiss even more, invading her sweet mouth with his tongue. It had been so long. Too long!

When it was over, she clung to him even more tightly. Of course, he hugged her more tightly as well. The corners of his lips lifted after seeing her flushed skin.

"Grandpa is here," she whispered. "Oh no."

He chuckled. "It's fine. Look, he's too busy calling everyone to bother us."

Although he said this, he knew that the old man saw what they were doing just now and only pretended that he didn't notice them kissing to avoid embarrassing the overly shy Jisoo. Jiyong stole another kiss from his woman's lips, a quick one this time, before leaning his head back and closing his eyes.

Fatigue filled him. He had been comatose for days after all. His body needed time to recover.

"Take a nap," Jisoo told him. "I'll wake you up when we arrive at Little Sister and Brother-in-law's home."

He grunted in response before pulling her head to rest on his chest. "You sleep, too. I heard from Shun that you didn't get a wink of sleep."

"Okay."

It was actually her who fell asleep soon afterwards. He didn't sleep but still managed to rest a bit while his eyes were closed.

At the moment, he was reflecting on the bits and pieces of memories that happened when he was in coma. It felt like a long series of endless nightmares. He couldn't remember everything, but based on the ones that he did remember, he was back in his body as Nikolai Vetrov together with Jiyong by his side. They seemed to be fighting off wave after wave of enemies together.

At the beginning, he went off to fight on his own, not caring about Jiyong at all. Then when the sheer number of enemies overwhelmed him, a wounded Jiyong appeared to save him. This happened many times. Jiyong would always save him at crucial moments when he was about to die a shameful death in the hands of the enemies.

In the end, he and Jiyong began fighting together. Then somehow, before he noticed it, there was only him fighting alone but he knew that he wasn't really alone.

Yes, he was Nikolai, but he was also now Jiyong. They were together and that was what made him stronger to defeat all of those faceless enemies in the long series of nightmares.

Jiyong opened his eyes and watched the urban scenery outside that the limo was passing by. He didn't fully know what happened but there seemed to be something different about him. He just couldn't figure it out.

The remnant of the original Jiyong still existed within him and was still capable of conversing with him. It was just "resting" right now because the coma somehow drained it.

'I'll eventually figure it all out.'

He glanced down at the sleeping woman in his arms and felt something warm filling up inside his chest. Then he noticed that the old man finally stopped talking on the phone and was now watching him.

"Old man—Grandpa," he corrected himself rather quickly this time.

Grandpa looked pleased. "That girl loves you very much, my boy. She never failed to stay by your side every night no matter how exhausted she was from working all day."

"I know."

Of course, he knew. Shun and Robin gave him an in-depth report earlier when Jisoo went outside his hospital suite to answer a business phone call.

"You're a dumb dunderhead if you let such a wonderful and loyal woman go and leave you again," Grandpa said with a disdainful harrumph.

Jiyong didn't say anything but pressed the sleeping woman in his arms closer to him. His expression didn't reveal anything of his true thoughts or emotions as usual. Grandpa didn't press him to reply either, maybe because Jiyong still looked terrible from being comatose for days.

The old man's phone rang. "Hello, Ruby my girl? Yes, your Big Brother and Big Sister and your beloved Grandpa will be there soon. Don't worry, my girl! Your Big Brother is fine but is still a big pinhead as usual. He wanted to be discharged immediately right after waking up! Hah! Why is he so hardheaded? I want to know! What is it, my girl? You want to talk to your Big Brother? Alright."

Grandpa tossed the phone to Jiyong who easily caught it with one hand. "Jiyong, your little sister wants to talk to you. Don't upset her! She's not fully recovered yet, you hear?"

Jiyong nodded and spoke to his sister for the first time since he collapsed. "It's me."

All he heard was a soft crying sound.
