Jimin really did miss her; he wanted to celebrate with her, see her smile, and just be beside her.

However, that was a luxury to him...

"What's wrong?" Jungkook leaned over and glanced at Lisa's phone.

She had already quickly logged out of her instagram...

"Nothing, I just posted a picture of us together, and the fans seemed to have gone crazy. The comments are already numbering in the tens of thousands," Lisa pursed her mouth into a smile.

"With someone as handsome as our JC's president in your picture, posting it is sure to cause an uproar," Chaeyoung smiled.

The group finished dining at around ten in the evening...

Lisa wanted to ask them to stay the night, but normally, people wouldn't stay the night somewhere else, as it was inconvenient.

Bambam drove Chaeyoung home, and Taehyung drove Jennie...

Haruto and his mother stayed at South Hill Manor because Lisa forcibly asked them to.

"Mom, after you guys move to your new home next week, you'll be even closer to me."

Lisa leaned on her mother's shoulder and acted like a spoiled little girl...

"Yeah, at my age, I didn't think that anything special would happen, but you've graced me," her mother exclaimed...

"You and Haruto mean so much to me, it's natural for me to treat you guys this way. Don't feel burdened."

"I know, once your Auntie Song and the others heard that you bought me a new house, they were dying with envy..."

"Is Auntie Song's son married yet?" Lisa asked.

"No, he dated someone a while ago, but they seemed to have disagreed over the bridal gift and broke up... She really likes putting her nose in her son's business, sometimes even I can't bear with it," Her mother complained.

Lisa just smiled...

"Lisa... we held you back in the past... If you didn't stay here to take care of me and Haruto, you would've gone to Seoul University, not a third-rate medical school. You shouldn't have graduated as a nurse either, getting bullied and pushed around by everybody... Your Uncle Watanabe blessed you from his afterlife, and now, you're finally a doctor. Lisa, Mom's proud of you."

Seeing her daughter defy rules and expectations to become a first-level doctor, her mother felt bittersweet in her heart.

As she went through heart-wrenching moments, tears fell from her eyes...

When Jungkook and Haruto got back from outside, they saw the scene unfold before them.

"Mom, why are you crying?" Haruto's heart ached a little.

"Nothing, I was just talking about the past, and how we held your sister back... Otherwise, she would've succeeded earlier; she didn't have to wait until now."

"Let it go, Mom... To me, what I went through was good training... I never complained about anything, everybody chooses the path of life that they want to take. I already have everything I ever wanted... You, Haruto, Jungkook, you are all my most beloved family members, and I am really grateful for and satisfied with what I have now."

Lisa said with tears circling her eyes...

Jungkook was moved, he walked over and held Lisa's waist...

Haruto changed the topic and said, "Mom... It's a shame that you didn't go out to look, there's a rainbow fountain outside, it's so beautiful. There's a super big amusement park over there too. Noona's future kid will be dying of joy. They don't need to travel to go to a place like Disneyland since there is one in their house, it's too magical."
