Cupping his face, she asked, "I do have the right to know everything that is happening in my husband's life right?"

Grabbing her hand, he pressed his lips at the back of her hands and nodded his head, "Yes babe, you deserve to know everything but everyone had mutually decided not to tell you anything about it."

"Why and who all are involved in this we?"

"Our parents, your brothers and other people." Before she could say anything, he added, "Just because we didn't wanna give me any unnecessary stress okay? And it's nothing to worry about, everything is under control."

"But I need to know Zixin, I don't care even if it's a teeny tiny thing. And don't you think telling me everything will make things more secure and I'll be more careful and alert?" Yuqi had made up her mind to find out everything that was going on in Zixin's life.

Tightening his grip around her hand, he sighed, "And that is what I don't Yuqi, I don't want you to be always cautious and worry about things. I want you to live a free love without having this constant feeling in her heart that something might go wrong."

"Zi, I would rather know everything and share your burdens than let you worry about it alone. Jeonsan tells Jiyun everything so can't you do the same?"

Looking at the determination in her eyes, Zixin decided to give in. He knew Yuqi very well to understand that there was no way she would let go off everything and do what he wanted. Though she was a very easy going and sorted kind of a person but when she wanted to be stubborn, no one could ever persuade her.

"Alright but you have to promise me that you won't worry about anything." When Yuqi nodded her head, he continued, "Remember what I told you about my uncle?"

"The one who attacked you?" She asked.

He nodded his head and answered, "Yes, we have this hunch that he is back."

Yuqi frowned and asked, "You mean—"

"Yeah, he is trying to create trouble but everything is under control and—"

Cutting him off, she inquired, "And how sure are you that everything is under control? I mean don't forget that he tried to attack you once and he can do it again."

"Yes I know but you see honey, he had powers before but now he doesn't and even if someone saved him and is helping him, we are prepared to face all kinds of consequences. Dad is taking care of things there and we are making sure that things don't go wrong here," he explained it in the simplest way he could.

Caressing his face, she sighed, "If you are saying that it's okay then there is nothing to worry about but still, you'll have to take care of yourself Zixin, I cannot lose you again."

When Yuqi sighed and snuggled against his chest, he closed his eyes. He knew that she would never buy whatever he had said. How could he forget that she could see through him?

Before Zixin could say anything else, his phone beeped. Pulling away, he took out his phone to see who it was from.

"It's a text from uncle Jungkook, he wants us to come home."

Yuqi frowned and asked, "Now? But why?"

Shrugging his shoulders, he answered, "It just says come home."

.....

Jeon mansion.

When Yuqi and Zixin arrived at the mansion, Father Kim along with Hyunjin and Yeji had already arrived.

"Grandpa? When did you come?" Yuqi asked before giving him a hug.

"I received a message from your father sweetheart, it said that it's important so rushed over with Hyunjin and Yeji," Father Kim answered.

Just then Jeonsan and Jiyun arrived.

"What's going on here? Why did dad say that it's urgent? Is mom okay?" Jeonsan impatiently inquired.

"We also don't know yet, we just received a text from uncle Jungkook and—" Zixin stopped midway when Jungkook and Ming entered the mansion.

"Mom, dad," Yuqi rushed towards her parents and asked worriedly, "What happened? Are you both fine? We received dad's message so we rushed over."

"Everything is alright sweety, we are fine," Jungkook assured his daughter.

Walking towards them, father Kim frowned and asked, "What happened?"

When Lisa tightened her grip around his hand, Jungkook said, "It's alright honey, I am here with you."

Lisa took a deep and nodded her head before walking towards her father.

"Lisa, what happened? I know something happened so you better tell me what it is now," Father Kim frowned. Lisa's teary eyes and the frown in Jungkook's face was telling a lot of things and he wanted to know what was up with the two of them.

"I–I met Yeri today at the hospital," Lisa said.

Hyunjin frowned and jolted up. "You what? You saw her? Elder sister how can you do that? Why on earth would you meet that woman?"

"Hospital? Why would you meet her at the hospital?" Father Kim inquired, though Yeri had done many inappropriate and bad things, she was and would always remain his daughter so sudden mention of her being in the hospital was freaking him alot.

"Yeri, s—she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer." Pausing for a while, Lisa added, "Fourth stage."

Covering her face with her hands, Lisa started sobbing, "I just wanted to see her and ask her what she wanted but then we found out that she was rushed to the hospital yesterday night from the hotel she was staying so we went there to see her and—"

The news was like a huge blow for father Kim which shattered his heart. Though he didn't want to be associated with his youngest daughter in any way, he still never wished anything bad to happen to her.
