Hearing Jungkook’s words, Lalisa felt her heart ache. She thought that he must have gotten news of her sending an email to the board of directors, telling them that she was traveling abroad alone, which was why she would not return to China for the time being. He must have located her IP location and thus came to Long Beach.

She nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll be back at home in a couple of days. Let’s go back to have dinner first. How long have you not eaten for?”

He was thin before, but now he had become even thinner and was all skin and bones. Her heart twinged at seeing him having become like this.

Jungkook’s eyes lit up at hearing her agree. He led her to the villa as he said, “Okay, let’s go back for dinner.”

Back at home, Jungkook asked Lalisa to watch TV on the sofa while he went to cook. Little Five and Little Six saw Jungkook speaking to thin air: you can watch TV here, and I’ll prepare your favorite seafood dinner for you. The two of them looked at each other in silence and thought to themselves—did Boss go crazy?

Jungkook looked back only to find that the two of them were gaping at him from a corner of the living room, while Little Six was still holding his laptop in his hands. He scowled and asked coldly, “What are you doing here? Go out to work!”

Jungkook thought unhappily that they were really senseless! Didn’t they see his Lali was here?

Little Five and Little Six nodded in haste and quickly ran out. They stood in the garden and looked at each other. “Boss seems to have gone insane.”

“His hallucinating seems to be more severe today.” Little Five looked worried as he said this. “He was okay the day before yesterday, when he would only be in a trance from time to time, but now he seems sure that Miss Kwon is around him.”

Little Six said, “Boss didn’t eat anything for the last two days. He must be too hungry to be sane.”

Lalisa came out with the two of them. She listened to their conversation and looked back at Jungkook. He behaved as if she were still sitting on the sofa, smiling in that direction as he cooked.

Lalisa suddenly realized that what he was seeing was not her at all, but a figment of his own imagination instead, and the words she had spoken just happened to be consistent with his delusion.

At this thought, Lalisa was grieved. If he continued like this, he would ruin himself one day!

She had to find a way to let him know of her existence!

She rushed in to attract Jungkook’s attention, but he could not see her at all. He simply said towards the sofa, “Wait just a moment, the shrimp in scallion sauce and lobsters will be ready soon.”

Lalisa tried to grab the cooking tool in his hand, but she could not even touch it. She reached out to knock down the glass on the bar, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not touch the glass…

It was not going to work. She couldn’t do it. She had to go back to Lisa’s body to get in touch with him again…

But how could she return?!

Lalisa closed her eyes and willed herself to go back, but no matter how hard she tried, when she opened her eyes, she still saw Jungkook making food for her in the kitchen. She couldn’t return.

In Lin’an Hospital of City A, Jimin and Taehyung were growing increasingly more agitated. Yoongi had woken up and was ceaselessly asking about Lisa, but she was still in a deep coma. Moreover, they could no longer hide this matter from Mom and Dad. They had asked for sick leave for Lisa in school, but the TV commercial was going to be shot on Saturday. Now they didn’t know how to explain things to Sehun…
