"Fine!" Old Madam Jeon was actually laughing in frustration! "Very well!"

As she had imagined, all the men of the Jeon family were romantics.

"Get out! I can't stand your face right now!" She yelled, turning away from her grandson.

When the door was closed, Old Madam Jeon clutched her own chest while aged eyes narrowed dangerously.

Tzuyu was waiting agitatedly downstairs, and was about to go crazy with the hot and humid weather.

She really wanted to know what they were talking about upstairs.

That was when Jungkook came downstairs leisurely.

"Jungkook!" Tzuyu's eyes brightened and she leaped towards him.

However, even before she could reach him, her narrow neck was abruptly caught by strong huge hand.

"Jung.....cook...." Tzuyu's face flushed red in suffocation.

Jungkook withdrew his hand, his eyes were cold and without a trace of warmth. "You know what will happen if I find out that you were trying anything"

Tzuyu stared at him in horror as if he was a demon devoid of human emotion.

She had never seen him behaving like this.

It must be Lisa's doing.

Nonetheless, Jungkook tightened his grip when she did not answer. Her sight almost fading, she quickly nodded, barely wheezing the words, "You....can be at ease...."

Her neck was freed with those words, and she feel raggedly on the floor where she wretchedly inhaled.

She lay sprawled, feebly watching as Jungkook's huge frame left through the door.

Her eyes hurt as he moved into the light, cutting a solitary and unapproachable figure. Her tears began to fall as she dug her fingers into the floor, her hatred for Lisa growing exponentially.

How did she turn Jungkook so protective over her?

Old Madam Jeon was nodding off when Mr. Park knocked on her door.

She opened her eyes. "Has Jungkook left?"

Mr. Park nodded. "Old Madam" He began, "I believe what are you doing...."

"What I'm doing?" She snapped coldly. "Everything I've done is for his sake! Jungkook would not be Jungkook without me! That cheek of his....He's turned against me over Lisa! He really has been given too much freedom!"

"The Young Master would thank you if he regains his memories" Mr. Park quickly said.

Old Madam Jeon closed her eyes at that. "No, he must never regain his memories. It is too painful for him.....the child must be brought under our wing. but her? She must never be with him I'll never agree to it even I die"

Mr. Park simply smiled. "But, Old Madam, don't you think fate is a curious thing? You have done your best to stop it, but they still managed to connect, with Miss Lisa Young Master a child. It appears that sometimes, there are things that no one could prevent"

Old Madam Jeon sighed. "Jungkook's suffered too much. I thought the amnesia was a blessing for him, but now...."

"Fortune's a cruel mistress" She finished , shaking her head.

Jungkook's headaches replaced when he left the Jeon family residence.

His brow frowned into a single line as he held his head lightly, his breathing becoming ragged as his thin lips tightened.

Slightly worried, Bang Chan turned the steering wheel. "Boss, I'll take you to Doctor Kim"

Soon, they arrived in a high-class private hospital inside the urban area of River Town.

By then, Jungkook's headache had become splitting, with walking actually becoming strenuous and had to be essentially carried by Bang Chan.

Exhausted, Bang Chan heaved as he opened the door. "Hurry up, Boss is having his headaches again"

In the office painted white and blue, a man with gentle brows and a pair of gold-framed glasses was sitting in front of his redwood desk and staring at a monitor, his long fingers tapping on the keyboard. His large white coat was reflecting the sun's glare, accentuating an indescribably his delicate features.

His nametag, which flapped in the wind from time-to-time, reads: Kim Seok Jin, Dean of Neurosurgery.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, he rolled his office hair towards them. "Yo, So you've come, little brother"
