In his previous life, he did not like buying lottery tickets. He believed that it was impossible to win these things.

However, he remembered seeing the lottery results the day after byungho had passed away.

He had a photographic memory and could clearly recall the winning number. A single ticket would win him eight hundred thousand dollars. He bought a total of seventeen tickets.

In other words, the six dollars eighty cents he just spent on the tickets would become more than thirteen million dollars tomorrow.

He kept the tickets securely and took his remaining money to the supermarket nearby. He asked the attendant uncomfortably. “Are there any fruits I can buy with thirty cents? Anything will do.”

He had wanted to spend all of his money on the tickets, but a single ticket cost forty cents and hence he was left with this change.

The employee at the counter responded kindly. “Thirty cents... is that all you have?”

“Yes!”

“I see. How about an apple? Though cheap, they are quite big and fresh. They usually cost a dollar fifty but are on sale today.”

“Sure.” taehyung paid and received the apple.

His pocket was truly empty now.

He held the apple and lifted his head towards the sky. He muttered softly to himself. “Soon, there will be milk and bread!”

Taehyung returned to the hospital with the apple in his hand but failed to see Jennie standing hidden behind a corner a few steps away.

Jennie had been on her way back from the toilet when she saw taehyung. She did not know that taehyung had sent byungho to the hospital earlier and was making a second trip back.

Jaewon was being discharged today. Jennie had thought about taehyung's affection for jaewon and believed that he would surely come here to take him home.

Thus, she had especially waited and as expected, taehyung was here!

She brought her phone out and took a photo of taehyung's back view.

She immediately sent the photo to jungkook, accompanied with these words: [CEO Jeon, jaewon is being discharged today. I was strolling along the streets when I coincidentally saw taehyung entering the hospital...]

After sending the message, she approached the supermarket which taehyung had come out from. She brought out two hundred dollars and spoke politely to the employee at the counter. “This is for you. Earlier, what did that long-haired, acne-covered, fat man buy here?”

The employee accepted the money and responded with a smile. “You mean the chubby man dressed in sportswear? He spent thirty cents on an apple.”

“Only thirty cents?” Jennie asked her in confusion.

“The man said that it was all he had.”

“He has always been poor. How could there ever be a comparison between us?” Jennie sneered.

“You do appear to be much more well off than him,” the counter lady chimed in politely. After all, she had taken her money.

“What do you mean by ‘appear’? I am the young lady of the Kim Group, while he’s just a beggar on the streets!” Jennie lifted her chin and walked away arrogantly.

The counter lady glanced at her receding back in disdain. Who was this person? There was something wrong with her head.

Jennie deliberated over the information she had obtained and wrote another message to jungkook.
