Jungkook did not say a thing. He subtly tossed a piece of paper into the dustbin.

Actually, when she was unconscious, Chan had told him all about what he discovered. Jungkook more or less knew what had happened during the banquet.

Lisa lowered her gaze when he stayed silent. Taking a deep breath, she swallowed the pills in her hand with some water to wash away the bitter taste. "I never expected you to agree even under those circumstances. I..."

She had mixed feelings within her, but she was grateful for him always coming to her rescue during her time in need.

"Why shouldn't I?" He asked as he took the empty glass from her. "I told you that I need a marriage, and that if you don't mind, I'll naturally accept you as my wife."

Suddenly, Jungkook swivelled his head around. His eyes were as dark as the night as he looked at her. His voice sounded genuine. "The moment you signed your name on the marriage contract, you're my wife. There's no chance of regretting it."

No chance of regretting?

Would she even regret it?

Regret what?

There was nothing bad about it though. It was a clean cut with the past, forcing herself not to go back anymore. Maybe this was a chance for her to seek a new path in her life.

She was really tired of struggling with the same issue for so many year. Maybe, marrying someone would allow her to escape the suffocating feeling every time she returned to her empty house.

At least, she was able to triumph and get married before them. She supposed she could protect her stubborn pride.

Everything would be a new start. It had to be...

Lisa suddenly raised her head as a smile appeared across her beautiful face. Her eyes looked at him with genuine gratitude while she said quietly, "Thank you, Jungkook. I'll do my best to be your wife."

A sense of warmth passed through Jungkook's elegant face as he saw her smile. His eyes seemed serious as he smiled back at her and his rare sense of humor surfaced. "I believe in my wife's determination."

Lisa could not hold in her laughter upon hearing his words. "Thank you for having faith in me, Mr. Jeon, however I'm feeling hungry right now, can Mr. Jeon go do some hunting and get some food for me? Just water isn't able to satisfy me."

She also pointed at the empty glass by the bedside table.

After a whole day with whatever that happened, she had not eaten anything at all. It was already midnight and naturally she felt hungry.

Jungkook raised his brows and looked at her, his thin lips forming a grin. "I got Lucas to get you some porridge just now. The doctor said your wound is deep and you have to be careful in the next few days."

A knock rapped on the door as soon as he finished his sentence, Lucas came in with two huge bags in his hands.

"Master! Director Manoban, you're awake! Master, the porridge is done. I also got some food for you. You haven't had dinner too. Please eat something!"

Lucas placed the bags on the table opposite the bed. He took a thermal container out and walked towards the bedside. Producing a bowl, he poured the porridge into it.

"Thank you, Lucas."

Lisa thanked Lucas and then tilted her head to look at Jungkook. "I want to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow since it's just a small wound. It'll be fine if I take care of it."
