MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 166

"Guh...."

Hwasa 's eyes tightened. Her lips that were painted full of lipstick opened and closed, while the rest of her face bunched together in pain.

Jungkook remained impassive. His eyes were slowly becoming colder and his grip wasn't loosening at all. In fact, it was tightening so firmly that her eyes were rolling back.

Then he suddenly let go, flinging her away like she was a piece of trash.

Like a deflated balloon, Hwasa's entire figure slumped. She coughed as hard as she could, greedily breathing in fresh air.

Beads of tears began to fall as she held her chest with a wounded look. "Jungkook, how could you do this to me?"

Meanwhile, Jungkook was plucking out is needle and coldly getting off the bed, before going straight for the door.

However, the moment the sickroom door was opened, he found two door was opened, he found two bodyguards dressed in black and wearing shades standing outside.

They were stuffing the doorway, stopping him from leaving.

Jungkook turned his sharp, cold gaze at Hwasa as she rose to her feet.

"Jungkook, I'm going this for your own good" Hwasa walked to him. "Look at you you're actually skinnier. It must have hurt, and I just wanted you to have a good recovery here at the hospital".

"Tell them to get lost" Jungkook's voice conveyed only impatience and disgruntlement.

Hwasa bit her lips but shook her head. "Don't do that, Jungkook. They are here to protect you. I was so afraid when I saw you get hurt, don't you get it? I would die if you die too____"

Jungkook cut her short without any remorse. "Why were you at the concert hall?"

Hwasa had been out of the country in the last few years, but somehow she showed up when he and Lisa attended a concert.

And there was the fire too.

"Oh, that...." A mysterious emotion flash in Hwasa's face but she kept a tender smile. "I came back three days ago. I wanted to surprise you, and heard that you were going to a concert...."

Tears of grief fell from her eyes even as she spoke tearfully. "I know you don't like me, which is why I quietly followed you....I know it's impossible between us, but I just wanted to look at you from afar!"

The veins on Jungkook's temples throbbed. "Get to the points!"

Dilly-dally shilly-shally. All that she spouts was nonsense!

"I followed you to the concert and I was just sitting behind you. It's just that you've never noticed me...." Jealousy appeared in Hwasa's eyes even as she continued worriedly, "When you fainted, I saw with my own eyes that the woman beside you ran away. I saved you by putting my life on the line I did, Jungkook!"

Lisa....ran away when he fainted?

He would believe that if it was any other woman, but he just knew that Lisa would never do that.

The small figure in the sea of flames, cursing him hysterically and abandoning him? What a joke.

Jungkook's lips curled into a smile that did not reach his eyes, even promoting fear. "Hwasa, do you want to die slandering my woman?"

"Jungkook....t-that was the truth!" Hwasa tried a argued but was a lot less confident this time, and even her voice had grown meek.

"Where is Lisa?"

"Lisa...." Hwasa seethed the name through her teeth, before putting up a blank look. "I don't know her....I was only thinking about saving you, but....I saw her leaving with another man when she ran off".

Jungkook's eyes went red at the mention of 'man'. "Who".

Hwasa shook her head. "I wouldn't know_ I only know you in all of River Town. But that man looks special: he had sliver hair".

Cha Eunwoo.

That manwhore again!

Jungkook looked around. "Where are my clothes?"

"Your clothes were dirty so I threw them away". Hwasa smiled tenderly at him. "But I had new ones prepared for you. I'll come with you if you want to take a breather outside"

"Bring them to me".

"What".

Jungkook commanded high-and-mightily. "Bring them to me".

Holding back her anger, Hwasa put a set of fresh clothes on the bed.

And before she could say anything else, Jungkook told her to get lost again.

"Jungkook, you...." Hwasa knew that Jungkook had a bad temper, but she didn't imagine that he hated her so much she almost couldn't believe her own ears.

"Get lost" Jungkook's voice was cold and he had lost all patience.

"Alright, I'll go. Please watch your health, Jungkook" Hwasa inhaled deeply several times, but even when she turned, she had a fierce look on her face.

The two bodyguards outside bowed as she closed the door, "Lady Ahn".

Hwasa shushed them and put her ears on the door, listening.

There were rustling inside as Jungkook changed his clothes, which was followed by a long silence.

Just when Hwasa thought that something wasn't right, she heard a loud bang as is something had crashed.

She promptly kicked the door and entered, scanning the room fiercely.

But it was empty as expected.

The windows were open the curtains flowing in the window. Hwasa looked out to find a bedsheet tightly knotted into a rope that dangled down to the ground floor.

Jungkook had escaped!

"Sh*t!" Hwasa's face was both fearsome and venomous, and she cursed through gritted teeth. "That d*mned Lisa! D*mn her!"

****

Lisa was sitting on her sickbed impassively, even a little blankly.

She was thinking who the woman who saved Jungkook.

Even so, that was not what she was most concerned about: right now, she wanted to know If Jungkook was alive, and whether he was hurt or conscious.

She closed her eyes. She had thought about giving her son a call since he hadn't returned for an entire night, and she wasn't sure now the little one was faring.

But her phone seemed to have been reduced to ash in the fire.

She sighed and hung her head.

Even as drowsiness came to her, she could hear faint footsteps and the sound of the sickroom door opening. She turned muddleheadedly, assuming that it was the nurse coming in to change her IV.

She yawned when the footsteps were suddenly faded.

Slowly opening her eyes and rubbing them, her whole body stiffened immediately.

Jungkook was standing at the doorway and staring fixedly at her.

His face was pale perhaps because he was rushed there, and he was panting softly.

The entire sickroom seemed to be much narrower after his straight figure appeared.

Lisa invigorated. The world became quiet as their gazes me, and she could feel her bloodflow quicken.

Abruptly, she fumbled to throw off her blanket and ran to him in her bare feet, leaping up at once to wrap her hands around his neck. Jungkook handily caught her waist so that she wouldn't fall, and her dainty feet simply dangled in the air.

Lisa closed her eyes. She chewed her lips in agitation as tears came to her doe eyes.

She simply could not put to words how she felt about his disappearance, and couldn't tell if she was happy or sad because of it.

But once she saw him, every emotion surged a violently as great flood!
