"Mom... truth be told, he... treats me very very well. Like really super, super well."

Lisa used two 'super's, magnifying 'well' into the extreme...

Her mother knew Lisa very well; she didn't like to lie, so her mother believed that what she said was true.

"If that's the case, then I'm more relieved. At least he doesn't have a human face with the heart of an animal like his parents..."

"Mom... thank you for understanding."

"So what if I don't understand? The incident happened a long time ago, and Haruto was right for saying that you've grown tired over these years. I'm tired as well, we're all tired. If I don't let go, you'll always be in pain. I'm your mother, why should I put my own daughter in pain?"

"Mom... thanks." Lisa took her mother's hands in hers, shaking slightly.

She never thought that she would receive her mother's approval this soon...

"If he dares to betray you later, then Ruto and I will kill him. Just because his family is wealthy, it doesn't mean that we're scared of them. Your mother may be old, but I'm willing to do anything for you and Haruto."

Her mother was a classic soft-hearted person with an unforgiving mouth, so Lisa knew that all she said came from her heart.

"He won't, Mom... if he dares to betray me, then even I won't let him get away with it." Lisa smiled.

She ate a simple lunch with her mom. There were two dishes – a vegetable dish, a meat dish, and a soup.

Her mother poured her soup nonstop; perhaps because she saw Lisa's pale complexion.

Lisa couldn't refuse, so she drank three bowls, and after the last bowl, she couldn't drink any more...

After they ate, she chatted with her mother for a while. Then, she looked at her phone and realized that it was almost time for work.

She returned to South Side, and as soon as she arrived, she was told that Director Li of the Neurology Department was urgently looking for her.

Lisa changed into her white lab coat and immediately went up to the Neurology Department on the fifth floor...

Lisa had interacted with those at the Neurology Department many times. After several trips, she became quite familiar with the area.

Director Li of the Neurology Department very much appreciated Lisa's talents.

Lisa once publically challenged Deputy Director during a meeting Director Jung hosted and had correctly and logically analyzed neurological studies.

Back then, Director Li thought that it was a waste for Lisa to just be a head nurse.

"Director Li, you asked for me?"

Director Li was a fifty-year-old lady, and even though she wasn't very old, her hair was already as white as snow.

Her face was filled with kindness, and she was very popular at South Side since she got along with everyone else...

"Lisa, come and sit."

Lisa nodded and sat down on the chair across of Director Li in her office.

"Lisa, I used to think that you studied neurology. Do you remember that teenage boy who got close to you?"

"I do."

"He went back to school after he was released from the hospital and is recovering very well. It's all thanks to your treatment plan, it was very useful."
