SET IN STONE• (part-1)

Chapter:14

However, Haruto was still waiting for her inside the VIP Operating Room.

Finally, she decided that she could seek help from the media. She didn't care if anyone laughed at her, because she had to save Haruto's life more than anything else.

Just as she took out her phone to search for the media's contact information, she received a call from the hospital.

"You have to come now, your brother is in grave condition."

"Okay, I'll be there immediately."

- Half an hour later, outside the Asan medical center's VIP room -

"The situation is extremely dire, and the patient can't afford to waste any more time. I suggest that we conduct the surgery now, but I'm not too confident about it. Lisa, the director said you know Dr. Jeon? I would suggest that you ask him to perform the surgery. It's better if he does it. Plus, you wouldn't want to see any post-surgical side effects, right? This really is a matter of life and death. What do you say?"

" Let me think about it."

"There's no time to think. The patient's cerebral hemorrhage is still ongoing. If we waste any more time, he will go brain dead."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be back."

In the end, her love for her brother defeated all else. She no longer cared if Jungkook mocked her, or if he made her feel uncomfortable.

No matter what, she had to give it a shot… for her most beloved little brother.

- JC Headquarters -

"Mr. Jeon, there's a lady outside to see you. Her name is Lisa," the front desk called.

"Let her in." Jungkook's eyes turned gentle when he heard her name and more so when he thought, she was here to see him.

- Five minutes later -

Lisa knocked on the door to Jungkook's office.

"Come in."

Lisa pushed the door open and walked in.

Jungkook stood before the window, his eyes filled with immense tenderness as he turned around.

Lisa was the only one who had ever witnessed such a soft look from Jungkook.

"You've come?"

"I need to talk to you. It's an emergency."

"Tell me."

After a brief moment of hesitation, Lisa looked at Jungkook as she slowly opened her mouth, "My little brother was in an accident and is receiving emergency care at the hospital. He's suffering from cerebral hemorrhage, and the surgery to fix it is extremely difficult. A second surgery is needed, and none of the doctors in the hospital are confident enough to perform it. The director spoke with me, and he recommended that you should be the main attending for this surgery, and…" Her voice began trailing off.

"Keep going." Jungkook looked at her as she spoke.

"And… the surgery costs over a million won. Even if you perform the surgery, I still have to pay for the medical supplies and equipment. I don't have the money, so could you please lend me some?"

Lisa bit on her lips, and she delivered these two requests with great difficulty.

She thought Jungkook would mock her and make fun of her, or even force her to beg him.

After all, she was the one who abandoned him seven years ago and declared that they were only classmates on graduation day in front of the entire school. This broke Jungkook's heart, and that was why he left the country.

She thought that he would now use this chance to take revenge on her.

However, upon hearing everything, Jungkook only said, "Sure, that's fine."

"Really?" Lisa found it somewhat hard to believe.

In fact, Jungkook already knew what was happening with Lisa's brother. Lisa didn't know that Jungkook had been watching Lisa's every move, and after Eunha sent him that WeChat message, he looked into Lisa and Taeyong's contact history. That was why he issued the death warrant on Triumph Steel Works. Therefore, Jungkook wasn't shocked when Lisa told him of the situation. Instead, he thought of it as an opportunity.

"I could personally perform your brother's surgery, and give you money, but…" Jungkook stopped abruptly.

Lisa grew slightly disappointed. She knew that he had terms and wouldn't help her for no reason.

"Marry me."

"What?" Lisa was shocked.

Did he really mention marriage at a critical time like this?

"Marry me and I'll help you. Or else… no deal." Jungkook was determined.
