You Are My Treasure, Husband! || BOOK 2

217.Lisa felt that her heart was beating out of control. (3)

The middle-aged obviously had a lot to drink and was drunk. Noticing that it was Lisa, he apologized quickly. "Ah, it's my niece. I'm sorry, Uncle had a bit too much to drink and I wasn't walking straight."

The middle-aged man was from another side branch of the Kim family. Old Mr. Kim had introduced to Lisa earlier. The Kim had three side branches – Yeri's family, Kim Sana's family who had started the rumors, and then that was this middle-aged man's family.

"It's quite alright, Third Uncle." Going by their generations, the middle-aged man in front of her was a cousin of Lisa's father, making him Lisa's Third Uncle.

"Are you on your way home?" The middle-aged man burped and even the air that he breathed out reeked of the smell of alcohol.

"Yes." Lisa maintained a decent smile on her.

Kim Hai stumbled and could not walk in a straight line. "Then Third Uncle should not keep you any longer. Do swing by and visit me at my place when you have time."

"I shall," said Lisa as she walked out with Jungkook in tow.

The car from the Kim family was already waiting there and Lisa entered the car with Jungkook.

"You are coming with me to my place and we will head back to City B in a few days."

There was no light inside the car and it was dim. Sitting next to Lisa, Jungkook nodded docilely when he heard Lisa mentioning about going home. "Go home together."

After a long night, Lisa was starting to get a little tired as well. She still had on the long gown from the evening and she was unbelievably attractive.

Leaning against Jungkook and looking languid, she asked him, "Do you find my Grandpa intimidating?"

Lisa knew that her grandfather did not like Jungkook.

Jungkook lowered his head. Looking at Lisa who was leaning against his chest, he felt an unfamiliar but comfortable feeling.

After a long while, he responded to her slowly, "No, I don't."

Jungkook did not know what intimidation was.

Lisa smiled and said, "Right, good. Kookie is so cute. Grandpa will learn that you are nice in due time."

Jungkook pinched his lips shut a little and said in his hoarse voice. "I good."

He also did not know what humble was.

Lisa couldn't help but reached out to pinch him on his cheek. "Right, you are the best."

The car braked suddenly and Lisa's body was thrown forward suddenly.

There was a loud impact noise and Lisa felt that the car had bounced off and she was stunned.

The very next second, everything went dark in front of her eyes and she fell into a wide and sturdy embrace.

The car came to a screeching stop but Lisa could smell a fresh scent in her nose.

Lisa couldn't hear anything anymore other than Jungkook whispering into her ear, "Hug Lili. Tightly."

She could feel the strength around her increased and both her eyes and nose were sore.

The car windows shattered and Lisa could feel Jungkook's body tensed up and he let out a grunt, but the embrace was even firmer.

"Jungkook!"

The car came to a complete stop.

And screeching noises could be heard when the car behind them came to a stop.

The bodyguard who had been following them came rushing up. "Young Master, Young Madam. Are you alright?"

Lisa looked up from Jungkook's embrace and saw that he was bleeding from his head. Still looking dazed, there was no fear nor nervousness on him. He merely looked at her calmly and said slowly, "Protect Lili."

He can protect Lili.

Lisa's eyes turned red instantly and she said, "Call the ambulance! Hurry!"

It was chaotic at the scene. They were surrounded by many passersby and they were taking photos and making calls.

One of the bodyguards called an ambulance and the other one waited with the driver who had caused the accident.

The car door on the right side was indented and Lisa was glad that she and Jungkook were both sitting on the left side today.

Lisa checked out on Jungkook and learned that he was not injured anywhere else.

She reached out her hand and she the tips of her fingers trembled madly. She had no idea whether it was from fear or worry.

She would admit that she was scared.

She dared not touch the wound on Jungkook's forehead. Instead, she placed her cheek on his. "I regret that I did not tell you that you must first learn to protect yourself in a dangerous situation.'

Looking at Lisa, Jungkook shook his head and said both stubbornly and seriously. "Protect Lili. Want to protect."

Lisa felt that the tip of her heart had been pinched by someone. It felt like it was swelling and, at the same time, beating out of control.
