Time slowly passed by.

It had already been three hours since Ye Lisa had been wheeled into the delivery room. During this time, doctors and nurses would go in and out of the delivery room. However, Jungkook and his party didn't dare to stop one of the doctors or nurses to ask about the situation for fear that a delay would cause complications.

"It's already been over three hours. Why hasn't Lisa come out yet?" Surprisingly, Old Master Jeon was the first one that couldn't remain calm. His hands were clutching his cane. From time to time, he would look at his watch.

Although Mrs. Jeon was anxious, she was someone that had experience with giving birth. She comfortingly said to Old Master Jeon, "Dad, don't worry. It's only been three hours. When I was giving birth to Jungkook, it took five hours. There's probably a long wait ahead of us. Why don't you go rest for now. Once Lisa comes out of the delivery room, we'll come get you."

Old Master Jeon hadn't been able to sleep well all night, but he still pushed the limits of his body by continuing to sit here. 

The old butler was truly worried about Old Master Jeon's aged body. He also tried to persuade by saying, "Old Master Jeon, you won't be able to do anything by staying here anyways. And, you didn't sleep well last night. Why not get a good rest first? When Young Madam comes out, we'll immediately come get you. That way you'll have plenty of energy to tease your great-grandson when the time comes. What do you think?"

Old Master Jeon waved his hand. Extremely stubborn, he said, "Don't try to change my mind. I know my body better than you. It hasn't been that long. Don't worry, I can last."

There really was nothing you could do once an elderly person got stubborn. You could try your best to persuade, but it would fall on deaf ears.

Resigned, Mrs. Jeon and the old butler didn't say anymore. They could only let Old Master Jeon sit here and continue to wait with them.

"Oh! Jungkook, did you tell Ye Lisa's parents that she's at the hospital?"

Although Mrs. Jeon didn't like Ye Lisa's parents, they were still her parents. It would be unreasonable to not inform her biological parents that she was in labor.

Since three hours ago, when Ye Lisa had entered the delivery room, Jungkook had been stiffly and motionlessly leaning against the wall. His eyes were downcase, and he was blankly looking at the floor. Who knows what he was thinking?

Jungkook didn't respond at first.

Old Master Jeon asked with a furrowed brow, "What... You didn't tell Ye Lisa's parents that their daughter is at the hospital?"

Old Master Jeon had always attached importance to etiquette. Although he had vaguely heard about the improper things done by the Ye's and thought they weren't reliable, how could they not be notified of an important matter like their daughter going into labor?

"It's my fault. I was overwhelmed from being too busy last night and today and forgot to call our in-laws,” Mrs. Jeon said, "I'll call them right now."

Just as Mrs. Jeon was about to stand up, Jungkook stopped her. "Wait until Lisa comes out."

"It won't be helpful if they come here anyways." Regarding this matter, Jungkook was extremely calm and heartless toward the Ye's.

During the past period of time when Ye Lisa was pregnant, Jungkook had indifferently ignored the Ye's. The Ye's hovered on the edge of bankruptcy. When Father Ye repeatedly asked Jungkook for help, Jungkook didn't promise to help, nor did he refuse. He only did enough to allow the Ye's to remain afloat to pay the Ye's back for raising Ye Lisa to adulthood.

He couldn't turn back time and prevent Ye Lisa from being unfairly treated. He could only hope that Ye Lisa wouldn’t suffer any grievances in the future.

"But..." Mother Jeon furrowed her brow. Disapproval was written across her face.

Jungkook's attitude was unyielding. He lightly said, "I know what to do. Everything is under control. Don't worry about it."

Old Master Jeon wanted to say something, but seeing his grandson's expressionless face, he swallowed his words.

He sighed.

Never mind. Jungkook was in charge of the Jeon's now. The younger generation will do alright on their own. As an old man, he didn't need to worry about them.
