Chapter 107 Lee Ji-eun Injured
Lost in thought...
As if hearing the crying, Truth, lying on the hospital bed, trembled slightly with her long eyelashes.
Then he slowly opened his eyes a crack.
When she saw that the people beside the bed were Park Jiyeon and Lee Ji-eun, Jinri forced a smile:
"Ji-eun unnie, Ji-yeon unnie, Mia-nee~ Thank you for taking care of me again."
"How dare you say that!" Park Jiyeon exclaimed, wiping away tears. "Do you know how close you almost..."
"Okay, Jiyeon."
Lee Ji-eun walked over and gently pressed down on Park Ji-yeon's shoulder.
Then she sat on the other side of the bed, gently reaching out to smooth the messy strands of hair on Jinri's forehead. "It's good that you're awake. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll go buy it for you."
Zhenli shook her head slightly, staring blankly at the ceiling, and murmured, "I'm not hungry... I don't want to eat anything, I just feel so tired, Ji-eun... the world is so noisy, I want to sleep..."
Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon both turned their heads away at the same time, their noses stinging with tears.
Lee Ji-eun wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes, turned her head and forced a smile, saying, "Sweetie, unnie will go buy you some food."
He then instructed Park Jiyeon, who was standing nearby, "Jiyeon, you stay with Jinri. I'll be back in a bit."
Park Jiyeon nodded. "Yes, I'm here."
Stepping out of the hospital building, Lee Ji-eun sat on a bench in the garden and rubbed her head wearily.
Seoul in mid-April was still very cold. The cold wind felt like knives on Lee Ji-eun's face, and she couldn't sit still for long.
At a restaurant not far from the hospital, Lee Ji-eun ordered her food and found a corner to sit and wait.
She had the idea of sending the truth abroad and finding a place where no one knew her to live, which might be the best ending for her.
However, once it involves foreign countries, it is inevitable that she will have to ask Lin Yuan for help, and Li Zhi'en became more and more annoyed.
On one side is my best friend, and on the other is my love.
One is hopelessly stupid, the other is frighteningly rational.
It's difficult to choose either way.
Lost in thought, the boss placed the packaged meal in front of her.
Lee Ji-eun snapped out of her daze, said "thank you," and got up to leave.
Outside the ward, Lee Ji-eun was still pondering what to do when she suddenly heard arguing coming from inside.
She knew something was wrong and rushed into the ward.
In the ward, Choi Ja stood there with a ferocious expression, pointing at Choi Jin-ri on the hospital bed and hurling insults at her.
"Damn it, do you know how much it costs to stay here for a day? You filthy bitch, you don't know the cost of living until you're in charge, do you?"
As he spoke, he even prepared to pull out the IV drip and forcibly take Choi Jin-ri away.
Choi Jin-ri remained silent throughout, acting like a walking corpse, unresponsive to any of Choi Ja's actions.
Seeing that Choi Ja had already torn off the medical tape from Jinri's hand, Lee Ji-eun completely lost her temper.
She rushed forward and slapped him across the face. "Smack!"
The sound was so loud that it echoed.
Choi Ja covered his face in disbelief, "Damn it, Lee Ji-eun, I advise you to get lost now, or I'll beat you up too."
"You don't want to appear in public with a pig's head, do you? If you know what's good for you, get lost."
Choi Ja was in a state of near madness. Although Lee Ji-eun was scared, she still went up and grabbed his hand, trying to forcibly pull Choi Ja away.
However, being a woman, she was no match for Cui Zi in terms of strength, which led to her being at a disadvantage for a time.
Although Cui Zi pretended to be indifferent, he was still wary of Li Zhi'en, so he didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of accidentally bumping or hurting her, which would definitely land him in jail.
Park Jiyeon, who was standing nearby, joined in at this moment.
Choi Ja was afraid of Lee Ji-eun, but not of Park Ji-yeon, so he went a little harder and pushed Park Ji-yeon to the ground. A dull thud was heard, and Park Ji-yeon sat on the ground clutching her wrist, gasping for breath.
Just as Lee Ji-eun and Choi Ja were at an impasse, she thought of Lin Yuan. Only he could help her now. As for her manager... it was best not to let outsiders know about such things.
So she flung her phone out of her pocket with one hand, and it slid straight down in front of Park Jiyeon.
"Ji-yeon, quickly call Lin Yuan and ask him to come and help. I can't hold on much longer."
Upon hearing this, Park Jiyeon hurriedly grabbed her phone, which was almost deformed from being bumped, and dialed Lin Yuan's number.
"Hey, Choi Ja, I advise you to let go right now! Jinri is so weak, and you still dare to lay a hand on her? Are you even human?!"
"Lee Ji-eun, don't push your luck!"
Cui Zi heard everything that was just said clearly.
He knew who Lin Yuan was, of course. He was a former member of LuMin, the second young master of Hongsheng Group, and the son-in-law of the Sony family.
He couldn't resist any one of these three titles, let alone all three on one person.
He was secretly anxious, his mind racing, desperately trying to find a way out of the predicament.
The call has been connected.
Park Jiyeon covered the microphone and shouted anxiously, "Hello, is this Lin Yuan? Ji-eun is fighting with someone at the hospital, please come quickly! She's in room xxx at Samsung Hospital."
Park Jiyeon hung up the phone before the other end could reply.
She glanced at the closed door. Perhaps because the patients in the VIP ward were all extraordinary, the corridor was quiet, and the nurses would not come to disturb the patients unless necessary.
Therefore, she needs to work with Lee Ji-eun to keep Choi Ja away before Lin Yuan arrives, and incidentally snatch Zhenli away and protect her.
Seeing Park Jiyeon hang up the phone, a flicker of panic crossed Choi Ja's eyes. The name Lin Yuan weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder, instantly bringing him to his senses.
He knew very well that if he waited for that man to arrive, he would definitely be in trouble.
"Damn it! You guys are ruthless!"
Choi Ja gritted his teeth and shoved Lee Ji-eun away from him.
Lee Ji-eun was already exhausted, and the force pushed her back several steps, causing her to crash into the bedside table behind her with a thud, scattering the packed food all over the floor.
"what!"
"Ji-eun!" Ignoring the intense pain in her wrist, Park Ji-yeon struggled to get up from the ground to help Lee Ji-eun.
Taking advantage of the moment, Choi Ja glared fiercely at the lifeless Choi Jin-ri on the hospital bed, muttered a curse under his breath, then turned around, frantically opened the ward door, and fled in a disheveled state.
His hurried and disordered footsteps echoed down the corridor until the sound completely disappeared, and then the ward fell into a suffocating silence once more.
"Ji-eun, are you alright? Did you bump into anything?" Park Ji-yeon's face was pale as she anxiously checked on Lee Ji-eun.
"I...I'm fine, quickly check on Zhenli!" Lee Ji-eun disregarded her own condition, hurriedly propped herself up, and quickly walked to the bedside.
On the hospital bed, blood beads were still seeping from the back of Choi Jin-ri's hand, and the IV tube that was originally connected to it was hanging to one side.
Lee Ji-eun felt a pang of heartache watching this, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She pressed the call button by the bedside and gently comforted her, "It's alright, Mari, it's alright... Unnie is here, no one can hurt you anymore."
