746.Unconnected Clues

Jennie urged him: [I don't need you to tell me that. Hurry up and investigate further.]

He responded with an emoticon of an 'OK' gesture.

That evening, Jennie headed to the thirty-eight storey of Jia Ya Hospital to visit her father.

She sat by his bedside and took in the sight of her unconscious father.

She sighed. "Dad, you've been asleep for nearly five years. When will you finally wake up?"

Dong Lee, who was in a coma, did not respond to her.

"It's alright. Even if you remain like this forever, as long as you're still alive, I would still have a living relative. This alone makes me content." Although she knew that her father could not respond to her, she could not help but chatter on by his side.

A female nurse entered the room. She replaced the IV drip for Dong Lee.

Dong Lee was in a coma and could not consume any food. He relied on an IV drip to sustain his life.

Jennie glanced at her. Although she had a mask on, Jennie noticed through her eyes, eyelashes and bangs that this was an unfamiliar nurse. She then checked her name tag which read 'Li Jie'.

"Where is Nurse Liang Chen, who used to take care of my father?" Jennie asked casually.

Nurse Li Jie spoke with some pity. "She fell off a cliff when she went for a trip to the mountains and passed away. I was recently transferred over by the hospital to take care of Mr. Lee."

Jennie frowned.

Liang Chen actually died from a fall? Auntie Qiu had just passed away. To think that she also died.

Could it be this coincidental?

For some reason, Jennie felt that Liang Chen's death was related to Somi.

However...

One was Auntie Qiu, a maid who used to work at the Kim Villa, and the other was a nurse who took care of her father. Between the two of them, what were the commonalities?

Jennie instructed Mark to investigate the two of them. However, he found that there wasn't anything linking the two of them in their background, ages, etc.

The only similarity they shared was that they both previously served the Kim family's people.

Liang Chen was specially tasked with caring for her father. Auntie Qiu had the ability to interact with everyone in the Kim family.

Their deaths were definitely meant to conceal a secret and this secret had to be related to the Kim family's people.

Jennie could not think of anything.

However...

As she took in the sight of her father on the hospital bed, she began to worry.

If something could happen to her father's nurse, her father could also be at risk.

Thus, she gave Lisa a call. "Hubby, could you send a doctor to secretly examine the safety of all the things my father has been using? Including the medicine he has been given."

Lisa, who was in the midst of a business trip, seemed to have sensed something. He did not ask any questions and immediately responded. "I'll arrange for Doctor Shi to investigate and I'll tighten the security around Father's hospital room."

Ever since they married, he began to address Dong Lee as 'Father'.

"Thank you, Hubby," Jennie said sincerely.

"We're husband and wife. What's there to be polite about?" Lisa's voice conveyed a hint of worry. "Wife, have you noticed something amiss?"

"I just have the feeling that someone will try to harm my father."

"I promise you that no one will be able to touch him."

"En." She was deeply moved and nodded. He had never once broken a promise made to her.

After ending the call, she recalled that Grandfather Lee Jingyuan had yet to inform her of his safety today.

Ever since she reminded him of his soon-to-be death, she requested that he give her a message or a call everyday.

He usually contacted her around this time everyday. Today, however, there wasn't any news from him. She decided to give him a call.

However, after five attempts, her calls remained unanswered.

She felt a sense of foreboding.
