"You're wrong. I didn't change. I have always been like this, which means… these past few years, you never really gotten to know me at all. You loved the woman you created in your mind, not the real me."
In truth, Lisa wanted to say this a long time ago…
When she first met Kai, she had already painted herself as the most ordinary girl.
After her relationship with Jungkook, which was already etched in her memory, her heart had been as peaceful as the ocean for a long time.
Therefore, the gentle, understanding, and smart woman that Kai saw wasn't the real Lisa.
Humans were the smartest animals in this world. Sometimes, the person you saw was just the one they wanted to show you, rather than who they really were...
Only Jungkook knew who Lisa really was.
She was a quick-witted, smart, and sharp-mouthed girl who turned her nose up at everything. Just the way Chaeyoung described her. That was the real her. Unfortunately, she never let Kai see her real side these past few years.
Now that they broke up, he finally had a chance to see the real her. How ironic…
"Lisa…?" Kai seemed like he still wanted to say something.
"Enough. You don't have to say anything else. I get it. When my daughter came to you for help, you were messing around with another woman in your apartment? Now you've come to repent because you heard that Haruto has recovered, and the operation fees are paid off. You are not a man. Before, I thought that, although you haven't achieved much, at least you were honest and genuine. Now I see your true colors. You are nothing but a dishonest person who only likes to contribute after the fact. Don't go around sighing here and there, it annoys me. Get out. Since you two already broke up, I am no longer your soon-to-be mother-in-law, nor is Haruto your brother-in-law."
"Auntie…"
"Get out and take your insincere guilt basket with you." After they finished talking, Lisa's mother stood up, picked up the gift basket, and pushed it, along with Kai, out of the room.
"Mom, well done. You really vented out noona's anger." Haruto gave his mother a thumbs-up.
Then their mother glanced at Lisa coldly, "In the future, pick a better man. This one was trash."
"I got it. Mom, I'm going back to my department for now. Don't wear yourself out. The caretaker is going to be here soon so you should go home and get some rest."
Walking out of the patient's room, Lisa felt restless…
Although her mother was not nice to her, she was clearly on her side, defending her in front of Kai.
But how would her mother react if she found out that not only was she secretly involved with Jungkook again but was also now married to him?
She would strip off her skin...
Even though Uncle Watanabe's death had nothing to do with Jungkook directly, his death was caused by the Jeon family after all.
Thinking of this, Lisa's chest felt tight. She had no clue how to keep on living with Jungkook.
After Uncle Watanabe's death, she felt guilty for seven years. She gave up on opportunities to go study overseas.
She stayed home and became the most ordinary person. But still, she couldn't ditch that guilt.
What killed her the most was that she didn't hate Jungkook that much…
She felt like she let Uncle Watanabe down…
