Jennie's expression became cold and hard as she glanced at Jisoo. She didn't retort but her eyes looked like they could kill. Even the furious Jisoo was intimidated and had to step back.
"Don't say that, Sis Jisoo!" Jae immediately defended Jennie. "It's not boss' fault that Big Brother Boss fell into coma all of a sudden."
"You're upset," Hoyeon said next. "That's why you're saying that. But I know that you don't really blame your own sister for what happened to your husband."
Jae nodded. "Boss cares about Big Brother Boss and vice versa!"
Jisoo avoided all of their gazes and just focused on the closed door of the hospital room where the doctor was still performing various tests on the comatose Jiyong. Her emotions were all over the place. If something happened to her husband at this point of her life when she just gave birth to their children, she didn't know what to do.
Grandpa who had been silent all this time slapped his thigh. The sound startled almost everyone except for the cold-faced Jennie. "This already happened before to Jiyong. He woke up back then so I know that he'll wake up from this again soon. Jisoo my girl, stay strong! I know that you love my grandson but there's no need to blame anybody about this matter. This old man suspects that falling into coma is one of the sequelae resulting from his serious ski injury back then."
Jisoo continued sobbing.
The old man sighed. "Jae, Hoyeon, accompany Jisoo my girl, alright?"
The two agreed.
Grandpa stood up and patted Jennie's shoulder next. "Don't mind your sister's words just now, my girl. She's just upset."
Jennie didn't reply but still nodded. Even so, Jisoo's accusation still affected her. She didn't want to stay here anymore and left.
Grandpa looked like he wanted to tell her something but decided to let her go. Jae and Hoyeon looked worried but they didn't stop her either. Jisoo didn't even glance at her.
Well, Jennie didn't look at her either.
She encountered her husband at the hospital wing's entryway. Lisa had been waiting for her. His expression looked dark...and furious.
Looking at him, she understood. "You heard?"
"Jisoo is too much!" Lisa didn't appreciate what the woman said to his wife.
He had thought highly of Jisoo before this because of her kindness and competency at work. Now, however, his impression of her had plunged down the drain. It was understandable that she would be upset because of what happened to her husband but that wasn't a valid reason to blame his wife.
Lisa felt so indignant for his wife's sake. He almost marched to Jisoo when he overheard what she said to his wife. It was only because he noticed his wife maintaining her composure despite the hurtful words that he managed to restrain his temper. He knew by instinct that his wife wouldn't want him to interfere in how she handled her friendships. Nevertheless, he still couldn't stop himself from boiling in anger.
"You just arrived?" Jennie asked while taking his hand and interlacing their fingers together.
"En. I rushed home from the company as soon as I heard what happened to my brother-in-law."
The two of them left the hospital wing and headed to the indoor forest. Both of them were upset. They didn't want to bring this kind of negative energy around their babies. It was better to cool their heads off first before seeing the twins.
"How do you feel?" Lisa asked as they walked through the lush vegetation in the indoor forest.
Jennie touched a hibiscus blossom along the trail where they were walking. She didn't reply—no, she couldn't reply because she honestly didn't know how to name all the exact emotions that she was feeling at the moment. Everything felt so chaotic.
