Chapter:62

The sweet scent of her fingers gave Jimin an urge to grab her hand and kiss it.

However, knowing Lisa's feisty personality, she would probably chop his hand off.

Therefore, after struggling for a bit, he decided to let that thought go...

"Your fever broke, you're a pretty healthy guy."

"Of course I am! I was in the special forces for a couple of years. You're underestimating me, aren't you?"

Lisa didn't respond; after tidying up, she stood up to leave.

"Hey, hey, are you leaving already?"

"Your temperature went down, so all you need now is sleep."

"But I'm... I'm a little hungry," Jimin said as he covered his tummy with his hands.

Lisa looked at him hopelessly. Then, she walked over to the ensuite kitchen and saw that all that was left was seafood.

"Fever is a result of a chill in the body. No more seafood for the next few days, not even seafood congee. You need to eat non-oily and non-salty food."

"So, after all that talk, are you going to make me something to eat?" Jimin looked at Lisa with puppy-eyes.

Lisa sighed, deciding be a good person until the very end...

It was late at night, and she would have to wake up the chefs. Plus, the food the chefs made might be oily.

Lisa opened the fridge and took out some ingredients. Then, she cut up some scallions and ginger and began making Jimin congee.

Forty minutes later, a hot bowl of fever-fighting congee was ready...

"Here, drink this, it's good for you."

"Does this enhance performance?"

"No, it will make you impotent," Lisa answered with a straight face.

Jimin couldn't help but laugh; joking around with Lisa at this hour was one of life's pleasures.

"You're rude, not gentle like other girls. Guys won't fall for you."

"Thanks, but you don't have to worry about me. You, on the other hand, should keep it easy. If you have too much sex, you'll soon lose your drive."

"Tsk tsk, stop cursing me."

"Shut up and drink your congee." Lisa was fresh out of patience.

Prince prissy-pants spiked a fever during her shift; if she failed to make him feel better, the hospital would probably be in chaos by morning.

Mrs. Park will probably yell at the head nurse until she cries.

Truth be told, the congee didn't taste good, because it reeked of ginger. Still, Jimin, who was starving, drank the entire bowl.

It was already 2 in the morning by the time she finished dealing with him...

Exhausted, Lisa took off her glasses and put them in the pocket of her uniform.

"I'll be at the on-call desk, press the button if you need me."

"Lisa." Jimin stopped her as she was about to head out the door.

She turned around...

"Nothing." He wanted to say 'thank you', but for some reason, the words were stuck in his throat.

Lisa was already used to him doing stuff like that, so she turned on her heel and left.

After Lisa left, Jimin felt wide awake, so he called his four bodyguards in for an emergency meeting.

"Tell me... what's a good present to give a woman?"

"Jewelry."

"An expensive watch."

"An LV bag."

"Just give her money."

His four bodyguards gave him four answers...

Jimin looked at them unhappily. "If it were that simple, why would I be asking the four of you? Idiots."

Jimin was constantly surrounded by women, so, in terms of wooing them, wouldn't he know better than them?

"Young Master, are you thinking of buying something for your mother?"

"Speak less. It'll be good for you." Jimin looked at the tallest guy, thinking that he was a prime example of 'long limbs, small brain'.

"Young Master, what about 999 red roses?" another bodyguard suggested.

"Am I a florist?" Jimin asked, unsatisfied with that suggestion as well.

Their ideas failed to satisfy him, so, in the end, Jimin kicked them all out.

He laid on his bed and thought, Lisa isn't interested in money. He should give her something special.

She put a lot of effort into taking care of him tonight, so he thought he should buy her a present as a thank you.

Jimin convinced himself....

The next morning, Lisa came to check up on him before her shift ended. She sighed in relief when she saw that he was doing much better.

Before she left, Jimin suddenly asked, "Do you have any wishes?"

"Why?"

"Just wondering if I could help you make it happen."

"Are you a genie? Do I need to rub a lamp or something too? Why do you think you are capable of granting wishes for others?"

"Don't underestimate me, my last name is 'Park'," Jimin said arrogantly.

He wasn't tooting his own horn. With his last name, he could do literally anything in Seoul.

"Would it kill you if you don't boast for one day?"

"You're the first one to say something like that. Come on, let's have it, what's your wish?"

"Can you print my photo on paper bills?"

"-_-"

"Can you ask that soccer player, Aubameyang, to smile at me with all 8 teeth visible?"

"-_-"

"Come on, you can't even grant me two wishes, boy. Before you toot your own horn, make sure you see what you're worth first." Lisa patted Jimin on the shoulder and walked out of the room.

Jimin seriously thought that Lisa was abnormal. Seriously abnormal.

He wanted to express his gratitude by buying her a present, but he couldn't even have a decent conversation with her.

When Lisa got off work, she changed into her own clothes. Getting into her Sedan, she backed out of her parking space and drove off.

Her driving skills were pretty good. Upstairs, Jimin sucked on a cigarette as he watched her white car speed away. He suddenly had an idea...

Her car seemed to have inspired him... because of how shitty it was.

Once Lisa got home, she was too lazy to move, so she crashed onto the couch.

Just then, Wonyoung called to tell her that Krystal had woken up, and her brain was functioning properly. Last night's surgery was a success, and the ultrasound today showed that her baby was okay as well.

Lisa smiled when she heard the news. At least their hard work had paid off.

When Jungkook came in, he saw Lisa curled up in a ball on the couch.

He directly walked up to her, picked up a blanket, and covered her up.

Then, he sat down beside her, browsing the stock market...

It was already 8:30 PM when she woke up...

"Um... it's late, have you eaten?"

"Are you talking about midnight snack or breakfast?"

Lisa scratched her head as she got up to head to the kitchen...

However, Jungkook grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace...

"You seem to be tired recently."

"Yeah, night shifts are tiring."

"That's why you should quit and do what you want to do. Being a nurse is too much work."

"But I don't want to start my own business. I'll worry too much. This place is fine, and, plus, the hospital pays for my health insurance and retirement. I'll work there until I turn 55, then I'll be able to retire and live on the retirement money. It's a good plan."

"It doesn't take much to satisfy you, does it?" Jungkook laughed as he pinched Lisa's cute nose.

"You must be hungry, I'll cook."

"No, it's fine. It's late, so I already ordered delivery, and it'll be here soon."

As he finished his sentence, the doorbell rang. Lisa ran over to the door...

She took the delivery Jungkook ordered and immediately placed it on the dining table.

"Are we celebrating something? You ordered so much food." Lisa stared at the 8 dishes on the table, and then back at Jungkook.

"It's for you and all the hard work you've been doing."

"Thanks." Touched, Lisa wrapped her arms around Jungkook's neck and pecked him on the cheek.

Jungkook didn't care at all that her kiss got saliva onto his handsome face...instead he smiled.

"This okra dish is delicious, have some more. Medically speaking, this vegetable is high in nutrients, protects your liver, and lowers your cholesterol." Lisa kept putting food in Jungkook's plate. She seemed to really enjoy the dishes.

Jungkook held a bowl of food in his hands and suddenly asked, "Doll, how much longer do I have to wait?"

Lisa's hand quivered; she knew what Jungkook was asking about.

Right at that moment, her phone suddenly began to ring...

Lisa picked it up at once when she saw who was calling. Chaeyoung always called at the perfect moment.

"Hey, Chae."

"Have you eaten?"

"I'm having dinner right now."

"I should've called you earlier, I wanted to have dinner together."

"Did something good happen?" Lisa smiled.

"Of course, I got a new car."

"You got a new car? Already? Did you get a raise?"

"Yeah right, just that salary of mine, even if I got a raise it's not going to make a difference. That second-generation heir boyfriend of mine bought me a car, it's a black Mercedes-Benz GLK. Cool, right?"

"Yeah, what about your Mazda?"

"I gave it to my dad. He had been driving that Hyundai for years, it's time for a change."

"That's good."

They then proceeded with some more small-talk. After Lisa hung up, she asked, "What were we just talking about?"

"Nothing." Jungkook quietly cleaned up the plates and cutlery and headed back to his study.

Lisa felt incredibly guilty since she was always purposely avoiding that topic.

She didn't know how to answer and was afraid that her answer would upset Jungkook. Therefore, she decided to play dumb.

But, how much longer could she pretend? Will Jungkook lose patience in her one day?

*

When Lisa arrived at work the next day, she saw a group of people gathered around the entrance.

Curious, she walked over to find out what was going on...

People dispersed automatically at the sight of Lisa; then, she saw a bright pink Lamborghini parked in front of her.

It was brand new; she could tell that it was straight out of the factory...

"Woah, whose high-profile car is it?"

Lisa knew that this pink Lamborghini was a limited world edition and not mass-manufactured.

She also knew that Hilton Hotel's heiress, Paris Hilton, owned one. At the time, the U.S media reported it non-stop, and all the girls in the world were crazy jealous.

However, this was not just any other pink Lamborghini – the car was covered in crystals.

The car itself shone and twinkled, hurting everyone's eyes...

"Is it pretty?"

"It is." Lisa nodded. Then, she realized that it was Jimim talking to her.

No wonder he wasn't sleeping in; did he wake up this early just to show off his wealth?

Just as she was wondering, Jimin said, "It's for you."

Then, he took out the key to the car and shoved it into Lisa's hand...

"Um... what's going on?" Lisa was a little dumbfounded.

"You should throw away that Sedan. Look at the other cars parked here, yours is the cheapest. So, this is my present to you. Do you like it?"

"Why are you giving this to me?" Lisa stared at Jimim.

Jimin was a little shy that everyone was watching them. "Because throughout my time here, your injection technique is the best. Of course, I wasn't going to let you do all that work for nothing in return."

"I don't want it," Lisa said as she shoved the car keys back into Jimin's hand.

"Why not?"

"I can't take what I didn't earn. Taking care of you is within the scope of my responsibilities. You can't give me something this expensive, it's not like it's just a box of cookies or a pound of meat." Then, Lisa turned around to go into the hospital.

The nurses around them began hating her guts...

They all thought that Lisa was an idiot.

Jimin, rejected in public, was embarrassed. "What are you all looking at? Go on with your lives."

Then, he kicked the Lamborghini as hard as he could, causing everyone to look at the car with pain in their eyes...

It seemed like one could literally do anything when they were crazy rich.

He had to buy this car from his friend. Not only did he pay 15 million for it, but he also had to give up the two bottles of Laffite that he had stored for years...

But that woman rejected him... Seriously?!

After Lisa arrived at the on-call station and changed into her uniform, she saw one of the nurses, Soojin, run over. Soojin said mysteriously, "Lisa, why didn't you accept it? Do you know how much that car costs? It's not just any other Lamborghini, it's an LP670—4 SV, limited world edition. It was designed by a Japanese prodigy designer and paved with Swarovski diamonds. Its original asking price was 22 million."

"What does that have to do with me?" Lisa asked nonchalantly.

"Young Master Park gifted it to you, why didn't you accept it, Lisa?" Soojin bemoaned.

"I'm not close enough to Mr. Jimin to accept something that's worth millions."

Indeed, Lisa was telling the truth. If Jimin had given her a carton of milk or cookies, she would have accepted it right away. However, he gave her a car that was worth more than 10 million. She wasn't about to accept something that she didn't work for. Why would she?

"Are you stupid? Young Master Park's generosity means that he's into you. You should take this opportunity to climb to the top. Once you get into his bed, you'll be able to accept even more expensive presents. Do you know how many women in this hospital have dreamed about a day like this?"

"I don't care about what others think, and I don't want to do that. Firstly, I have a boyfriend and I won't do anything to betray him. Secondly, it's not going to work out between Jimin and me. I seriously think that it should be nipped in the bud, and I don't want rumors to spread. If the director finds out, he might be suspicious of my work ethics and fire me."

"Lisa, don't be such a fool. If I were you, I would definitely seize this opportunity."

"That's why Mr. Jimin is not into you." Lisa felt bad for nurses like Soojin.

Many women worshipped money and dreamt of marrying rich. However, the more you wanted something, the harder it was to get.

The more desperate a person was, the fewer opportunities he or she would have...

Plus, she knew that there wasn't a man in the world who would fall in love with someone who only loved money and had an ulterior motive.

Even if he were the ugliest man in the world, he would rather believe that his girlfriend loved him for who he was, and not for the money in his bank.

Soojin was rendered speechless by what Lisa said...

During the lunch break, after she had lunch, Lisa sat in the garden and played with her phone.

It was Valentine's Day, so a lot of her friends were showing off the gifts and transfer of money their boyfriends gave them on their WeChat friend circles.

Anyways, people were all bragging about their relationships...

Even Chaeyoung posted a photo of her and her boyfriend on WeChat, along with a hundred blue roses she received by him.

Brutal...

After she exclaimed at what she saw, she posted on her WeChat friend circle.

She wrote, "Girls who received gifts and pocket money from their boyfriends and husbands today, do you know where the money came from? How dare they secretly stash away so much money?!"

Chaeyoung immediately replied, "You're just jealous! Didn't your lover, McDreamy jeon, give you gifts or sent you money?"

Just as Lisa was about to reply, she heard a 'ding' on her phone; she had received a WeChat money transfer.

It was from Jungkook. Lisa began counting the digits – one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand...

"Um... 131,400.."

Wasn't this a little too luxurious?

Lisa took a screenshot of the transfer and sent it to Chaeyoung.

On the other end, Chaeyoung immediately replied, "Friendship over. Don't reply."

"Hahaha, now it's your turn to be jealous, ayy~ (Insert Lenny Face Here)"

Lisa just felt a sense of achievement...

Then, she replied to Jungkook, "Good husbands never hide money behind their wife's back."

"I'll ask my lawyer to transfer assets and JC to your name."

"Um... your dad will probably cut you up."

"No, but he'll probably cut you up," Jungkook replied.

Lisa, "-_-"

"Stop pulling my leg, Husband."

"I'm serious! You don't believe that I'll give you JC?"

"I do, I just don't believe that your dad will cut me up," Lisa replied matter-of-factly.

Jungkook fell silent...

After a while, Lisa sent him another message, "Mr. Husband."

"Yeah?"

"What kind of bank account are you using? You can transfer so much at once, I can only transfer 10,000 each time. What's your bank? I want to apply for the same one."

"Dubai First Royal Bank, black MasterCard."

"The name sounds fancy."

"Yeah, this card is coated in gold and decorated with diamonds. There's no limit, so the card owner can spend as much as they want to."

"Okay, you win."

"I'll apply for a secondary card for you."

"No, no, I have enough money. I'm scared that I'll trick you out of all your money..."

"Go ahead, it's yours anyway. I don't care."

"Mr. Moneybags, let's be friends," Lisa joked.

"Sure, but as a show of good faith, you'll need to have a baby with me first."

"Get out of here."

The couple joked around with each other, enjoying each other's presence and perhaps taking things a little too far...

Lisa's mood got a lot better after her WeChat conversation with Jungkook. She stood up, put her phone back into her pocket, and headed back in while humming a song.

Upstairs, Jimin saw Lisa's happy expression and was almost positive that she had a boyfriend.

However, why is it that after so much time and effort tracking that person down, he still found nothing? Was it... intentionally hidden?

This man was powerful enough to stop Jimin's men from finding him?

"Young Master, Miss Seulgi is here."

"Tell her to come in." Jimin turned around, his expression as cold as it always was.
