“It’s fine. I don’t have the habit of sleeping early either. There might be a thunderstorm tonight, so I came over to take a look, and at the same time, talk to the doctor. Otherwise, I’d be worried. Go to sleep earlier then. You can be discharged when your condition stabilizes in another two days.”

“Mmm, don’t come over in the next two days. It’s going to be the first of May soon. You have to be busy delegating work. Gguk-ah’s busy too. Don’t keep dragging him over. I’m fine.”

Chitthip obviously did not want to be a burden to them. They had a lot of things to worry about, and she heard that Boonlong was even planning to get Lisa to familiarize herself with Fuhua’s business. When that happened, she would have even less time and she would need to adapt eventually.

As Boonlong’s daughter, truthfully, she had not done much for Boonlong. Instead, she made him worry for her his entire life.

And now…

“Mother, don’t think too much. You are the mother that I respect. Taking care of you is what I should do, just as how you raised me.”

Lisa suddenly stopped what she was doing and silently looked at Chitthip whose eyes were hollow. She struggled for a while, before she said softly, “Mother, do you… still love Father?”

When she heard this, Chitthip was startled. After a long while, she muttered, “Didn’t I answer this before?”

“I wanted to ask if you still love Father now. Not if you once loved him.”

Lisa’s eyes lit up with hope. She fixed her gaze onto Chitthip, not wanting to miss any changes in her expression. “Father has always loved you deeply. I have always hoped that the two of you could get back together again and that Father could return to our side.”

“I know that you’ve been hurt by what Father did, but… but…”

Lisa did not continue in the end because she realized that every time she spoke about this, tears would form at the corner of Chitthip’s gently shut eyes. Her hands had also clutched onto the blanket tightly.

She could only sigh and finally got up to quietly leave.

When she left the ward, Lisa’s eyes were moist. She leaned against the cold wall and took a few deep breaths before she forced the numbing pain in her chest away. She was about to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes away when a white handkerchief was handed to her.

Still in a stupor, she reflexively took it and wiped the corner of her eyes as she looked up to see who it was. Then, she realized that the person before her was unexpectedly Mingyu!

“Why is it you again?”

Lisa was about to cry out, but Mingyu lifted a hand to shush and stop her. She then realized that it was late at night and that she was at the hospital.

“Why are you here?” asked, Lisa frowning as her movements stopped too.

“My friend was hospitalized. I know that Aunty is here, so I wanted to come over to take a look. What? Why are you looking at me like that? I’m telling the truth. Even though I do have that bit of grudge with Jungkook, I’ve always had protective feelings over the fairer sex. I wouldn’t attack you. Don’t worry!”

Mingyu was not like before this. He was always the oddball, but now he seemed much more normal instead.

“Mingyu, I’m warning you. Don’t think about going for my mother!” Lisa scowled and glared at him.

“What are you saying? I don’t like older women. Of course, I wouldn’t think of going for Teacher, but there is an extremely high possibility of me going for you. I might now be getting in touch with my future mother-in-law right now. Everyone could get to know each other better first. What’s so bad about that?”
