Chapter 79

After the plaster had set, Dr. Xu went to fill in the consultation forms. RM paced back and forth in the corridor, his brow locked into deep furrows. It felt like a thundercloud was pressing down on his heart.

The policeman called in a colleague and they took Jungkook's witness report together. According to Jungkook's statement, this might very well be a case of malicious wounding, and the victim was a well-known athlete. With one strike, the hoodlums had threatened a potential world gold medal... From whichever angle, they need to solve the case as soon as possible.

After the police left, Lisa received a call from Auntie Kim. She felt a little guilty. "Hello, Auntie?"

"Lisa, you went out? Will you still be coming back tonight?"

"I..." She did not know how to answer and was also unsure whether she should tell them about this incident. She blinked at Jungkook, throwing him a questioning look.

Jungkook shook his head. It was pointless to bother his parents this late in the night. This would just affect their rest. They should just tell them tomorrow.

Madam Kim sensed Lisa's hesitation and asked, "Lisa, I want you to tell me the truth. You're no longer my tenant, you know?"

"Mhm."

"Then tell me, who are you with right now?"

"With Jungkook."

Madam Kim was silent for a moment, and then she asked, "You two, are at a hotel?"

"No..."

"Not at a hotel, then where?"

Lisa felt rather helpless. She dared not lie to Auntie Lu, so she could only say truthfully, "The hospital."

Madam Kim suddenly had a very bad feeling and her voice turned tense. "What exactly is going on?"

Lisa's face turned pale from fright, so Jungkook reached out to take the phone from her. "Mum, yes... I'm fine, I just got hurt accidentally... a fracture, it's already been put in a cast. The doctor said it's not a big problem... you don't have to come... ok, ok, ok, you are my mum, definitely... yes, be careful on the road. Don't drive too fast."

After hanging up, Jungkook smiled at Lisa. "Are you very afraid of my mum?"

"Not really," Lisa scratched the back of her head. "Well, it's just that she has a very forceful presence."

So she was actually afraid...

Jungkook was currently reclining in the hospital bed, his long legs crossed and laid out on the narrow space. The horrific blood-stained coat had already been removed. Lisa was afraid he would be cold and tried to cover him with a blanket, but Jungkook would not cooperate. He felt that he would look too weak covered by a blanket, like a real sickly patient.

Lisa said, "You are a patient right now!"

Jungkook tilted her head and looked at her consideringly. He said softly, "Come here."

"What for?" Lisa walked over to sit by the side of the bed.

He grabbed her hand and held it gently. The heat of his palm was transmitted from his skin into her flesh and bones. He said, "You see, I'm not cold at all."

For some reason, Lisa's eyes reddened. She felt that she was much too vulnerable right now. It was terrible. She said, "What if you have a fever?" As she said this, she lifted a hand to touch his forehead.

Jungkook was as obedient as a young child, letting her examine him as she liked. As she pulled her hand back after testing his temperature, he captured her hand, pulled it to his lips, and gently kissed her palm.
