Under the dim lighting, Jeonghwan heard a familiar voice. He held back the throbbing pain in his head as he softened his expression and turned to look at Jooeun. "Shouldn't you be boarding your flight?"

Jeonghwan couldn't hear the difference in his own voice, but Jooeun could detect the slightest difference. He was obviously trying to endure his pain. Jooeun felt her throat burning up and was afraid if she was to say anything she would start crying, so she put down the medicine in her hands and sat at the edge of the bed before gently helping Jeonghwan to sit up. She pulled him into her embrace and tightened her grip around him.

"Have some medicine first."

Jeonghwan was in a daze as he filled with anxiety. He felt Jooeun's tears fall upon his shoulder, so he quickly tried to turn around, but she ordered, "Eat your medicine."

He did not retaliate as he obediently took the medicine and water from Jooeun's hands. Jooeun watched as he swallowed the medicine before wrapping his head in her hands and gently massaging it. She then gently placed a kiss on his head. Jeonghwan closed his eyes. At a time like this, he had no energy to explain himself.

After roughly half an hour, the medicine finally kicked in and Jeonghwan's mind cleared up. He pulled away from Jooeun's embrace and turned to face her. Her eyes were still watery as she stared at Jeonghwan without a sound.

"It only hurts every now and then, it's not that serious. I did a medical examination not too long ago."

"I don't care." Jooeun lowered her head as a tear fell upon Jeonghwan's hand. "All I know is, seeing you in pain makes me anxious. I didn't know what I could do for you."

Jooeun wasn't someone that often cried. She faced most difficulties calmly. Only when it came to Jeonghwan did she react in such a way.

Jeonghwan pulled her into his embrace and held onto her tightly as he stroked her back comfortingly. "Seeing you in pain makes me lose all reasoning."

Hearing these words, Jeonghwan suddenly realized something. It seemed, keeping himself healthy was also a way to care for Jooeun. Her tears didn't merely fall upon his hand, they were like a hammer falling down on his heart.

Jeonghwan embraced her as he waited for her to calm down. A while later, he finally whispered in her ear. "Later today, I'll tell Taejoo to arrange for me to have another examination at the hospital."

Jooeun remained silent as she bit down on Jeonghwan's neck.

Jeonghwan was already used to her method of letting off steam. Whenever he made her emotions fluctuate, whether it was excitement or anger, she would use this method to respond to him.

Jooeun bit onto his thin skin, unwilling to let go. Meanwhile, Jeonghwan let her bite as hard as she wanted. He smiled as he hugged her tighter. "OK, after taking the medicine, I feel a lot better."

Jooeun finally released Jeonghwan. Her heart ached.

Jeonghwan turned his head to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table as he offered. "I'll take you to the airport now, or else you won't make it in time."

Jooeun didn't want to get up, but he carried her up in his arms. After tidying up a little bit, he carried her out of the resting lounge.

Inside the office, Minjung and Taejoo were still looking at each other awkwardly. Seeing Jeonghwan carrying Jooeun out, they quickly gathered around. "What is it? What happened?"

Wasn't Big Boss unwell? How come Jooeun ended up being the delicate one?

"I am taking you guys to the airport now. Minjung, take good care of Jooeun."

Minjung didn't understand what was happening, she simply stood in place as she gave a grunt of agreement.

They quickly got into the car. However, Jooeun remained silent the entire way. Jeonghwan could tell she had not yet recovered from the emotions she felt earlier. So as the car stopped at a red light, he reached out his hand to pat her head comfortingly.

It didn't take long before they reached the airport. In order not to be discovered by the media, Jeonghwan stopped his car in a quiet spot and gestured for Minjung to comfort Jooeun.

Minjung understood Big Boss's look as she got out of the car and dragged Jooeun out. "You still have 2-3 days of work in London, we can't delay it anymore."

Jooeun did not respond. Her expression remained dull. As she got out of the car, she couldn't bear to look at Jeonghwan in case she felt regret. However, after entering the airport, she suddenly asked Minjung. "Unnie, I am still worried about him, what should I do?"

Minjung was stunned for a moment before smiling. "Jooeun, you should know better than I do. When a person is indecisive and they don't choose the right result, they will definitely feel regret. For example, when one sees the weather changing as they leave the house and can't decide whether to bring an umbrella. If they decide not to bring an umbrella, it will definitely rain. Or right now, when you want to go back and chase after someone. If you don't turn around right now, you might miss out on the chance to be there for him when he needs you the most."

After hearing Minjung's words, Jooeun stepped out of the queue without hesitation and immediately ran back to the spot where Jeonghwan dropped her off. Luckily, because of congestion, Jeonghwan's car had not yet left the airport. Jooeun quickly ran over, pulled open the car door, and sat back in her original seat.

Jeonghwan was stunned and surprised. "Why are you back?"

"Tell Taejoo Oppa to arrange for your examination right now. I won't leave until I see the results." Jooeun said in seriousness. "This may be a small issue to you but if it makes me leave the country filled with worries, would you still think of it as a small issue?"

Jeonghwan brushed his hand across Jooeun's cheek and gave up on retaliating. He had already sent her this far, yet she still insisted on coming back, how could he bear to send her off again? So he immediately told Taejoo to contact the hospital and went to get an examination accompanied by Jooeun. Finally, he received his examination results. There was nothing out of the ordinary. He had merely used too much energy on his work, so his brain naturally wanted to revolt.

"Do you finally feel relieved?" Jeonghwan asked as he held onto Jooeun's shoulders. "It's really just a small issue."

Jooeun felt a load had been lifted off her shoulders. But as she remembered the painful look on Jeonghwan's face, she ordered, "Come to London with me. While I work I will make sure you get some rest."

Jeonghwan sighed. His heart ached and he felt helpless around Jooeun.

"OK."

Hearing this word, Taejoo was surprised. He thought about how his president stubbornly worked through all situations and had never been moved by anyone. Yet, it seemed he was now completely controlled by his wife. This is good to see. Really good. Probably, the only person in the world capable of making Lee Jeonghwan obedient was Cha Jooeun.

In the end, Jooeun missed her flight. Jeonghwan had no choice but to arrange for a private flight. He couldn't let her delay any further.

Inside the luxurious plane cabin, Taejoo and Minjung sat to one side. One of them was looking through documents and the other was looking through videos. Meanwhile, Jeonghwan lay in Jooeun's embrace.

This was the first time Jeonghwan fell asleep in Jooeun's arms.
