Jiwon gave a look of surprise at Lalisa, who pursed her lips. Knowing that her tone just now might have been a little unacceptable to Jiwon, Lalisa said, "You're injured so you should take good care of yourself. Even if you want to go to them and ask them why, you should fully recover before you do so, okay?"

Jiwom nodded blankly. It was the first time that Lili had talked to her so much and she did so for her own good, to comfort her...

Jiwon was suddenly stricken by a surge of sourness. It turned out that it felt so good being protected by her daughter.

Lalisa was relieved to see that she had finally managed to persuade Jiwon. In the past, she was like a noble princess who was always the center of the people around her, so she had hardly paid attention to others, let alone tried to persuade or comfort someone like now.

Holding onto a thermal lunch box, Yeji said in a low voice, "I made some bone broth. Jiwon, you haven't eaten anything for a day and a night. You must be hungry, so take some broth and I'll bring you some porridge at noon."

Jiwon raised her eyes at Yeji and smiled, moved by the latter's kindness. "Thank you, Yeji. Sorry for troubling you."

Yeji smiled as she went to Jiwon's bed and put the broth on the bedside table. She said in a low voice, "Let Brother serve it for you. I drove here. Lili is going to see Lin Jiao so I'll be sending her over."

"Thank you, Yeji."

Yeji smiled and turned to Lalisa, who was standing quietly at the side, and said gently, "This is what I should do."

After Lalisa and Yeji left the ward, Jiwon looked at Hyunbin with pursed lips and asked, "Are they all in the police station?"

Hyunbin nodded as he opened the thermal lunch box, poured out the broth inside and began feeding it to Jiwon with a spoon. He replied, "Mom and Tzuyu were taken away by the police. As for Dad, Lili asked Taehyung and Jimin to take care of him. Have some broth. Don't worry. Just take care of yourself and try to recover as soon as possible."

With that, he continued to feed Jiwon, who stared at Hyunbin's face while drinking the broth. When the broth was almost finished, Jiwon asked in a low voice, "Were you glad to find out that Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi aren't my biological parents? Glad they're not blood-related to me at all?"

Hyunbin paused for a beat before putting the spoon back into the bowl and then put the bowl onto the bedside table, following which he cast a deep look at Jiwon with pursed lips and replied, "Jiwon, to be honest, I was really relieved to see the paternity test report yesterday. Over the years, you've been treating them so well, yet they never felt satisfied..." Hyunbin gradually grew indignant and his eyes turned red as he continued, "Do you know how I felt when I saw you being pushed down the stairs by Tao Yan? I felt desperate. I wanted to rush up and kill them..."

In reality, he had really done just that at that time; he had rushed over in an attempt to push Tao Yan down from the stairs to let her feel the pain Jiwon suffered, but Soohyun and Yeji stopped him and asked him to take Jiwon to the hospital. Only when he got to the hospital did he gradually calm down.

But when he calmed down, he found that he could do nothing, because those two people were her parents. What could he do to them?

Although he was keen on money and power, he truly loved Jiwon; otherwise, he would not have married Jiwon, an intern with no background who had just graduated from university and begun to work in his company, despite the strange stares from others.

Afterward, Jiwon performed well in work and did a good job in developing the company with him. She became more and more like a successful businesswoman and showed stronger working ability than him. Sometimes, she looked even more capable than him, but his love for her never changed.
