Dilemma

40.

After saying this, Lisa went to the dressing room.

The dress was perfect and there was no need for alterations. She promptly took it back off.

Somi clearly did not think of this.

After hearing Lisa's words, she began to feel awkward. She recalled the death of Uncle Marco and of Aunt Seo Ah was still lying in the hospital. Slowly, she too began to inwardly blame Jungkook.

Lisa came out and passed the gown to Mina who lowered her head and put it away.

After this, the two sisters went to the little garden on the third floor.

Jungkook had people moved a set of tea table there after seeing that Lisa loved to spend her time there.

Amid the flowers and plants was ten square meters of open space. A tea table and chair were placed there, with a bamboo-woven umbrella looming over them. Lisa was wearing a large white velvet sweater coat as she laid on the chair, looking just like a carefree cat.

Jungkook's dominance in the Jeon Family was unrivaled, so even though they were siblings, Somi had practically no chance of coming up this small building!

However, even Somi began to grow suspicious upon seeing Lisa, who such stunning beauty, leisurely lying in the midst of the flowers and plants, . Jungkook was clearly pampering Lisa, so how could there be bad blood between the two...

Nevertheless, this question could not be brought up as the relationship between them was extremely delicate.

While in front of Somi, Lisa carried no burden at all.

She poured a cup of tea for Somi before speaking up, "About the banquet in a few days time... do you think you're going to attend?"

The reason why Lisa popped this question was that in the past Somi would often abstain from attending banquets and events.

The Jeon Family's Old Mistress preferred males over females, and Somi's carefree character did not please her as much as Yugyeoms's gentleness. Add this to the fact that her parent, Jeon Tangshuo, was deeply immersed in the medical field, and it was evident that Somi's upbringing was somewhat lacking for a noble.

Hence, Somi was unable to learn much of the mannerisms befitting of a lady of a noble family. This was partially the reason why she was envious of Lisa!

Lisa, in regards to this area, could navigate these affairs with ease as she was fluent with words and excelled at handling social events. Her mind was quiet like a maiden at rest, but her words were agile like a fleeting hare!

When she was at peace, every single gesture of hers was exceptionally graceful.

In private, however, she was exuberant and buoyant, without showing any traces of her socialite background.

"I'm most likely unable to attend. You know, my education is basically taken care of by my dad, and he wants to bring me to a conference during the holiday. When it comes to working, those old geezers don't really care whether or not it's a national holiday..."

Somi did not go through any formal university education. In this regard, Lisa was rather envious of her!

She had been shadowing her father ever since she had completed her high school education.

Other students in medical school learned much theory but had less practical training. Somi, on the other hand, was trained purely through the first-hand experience.

Various major and minor surgeries; theory and practical work; she had well-versed in them all!

She even often attended academic conferences of any scale in the country as well as overseas alongside her parents.

Hence, the skills which she had developed from this 'elite guerilla squad', were much more superior than those of regular surgeons who had simply studied for five or eight years.

The reason for this was that Jeon Tangshuo had hoped for her to gain a few years of practical training before sending her overseas to further her studies.

When Lisa heard that Somi would be leaving, she became somewhat downhearted.

The only person with whom she could connect well within the Jeon Family would soon be unable to accompany her, and a rare sense of loneliness bubbled up in her heart.

Lisa had not experienced this kind of feeling in a long time. More often than not, she enjoyed solitude!

It seemed that her heart was really not as dead as she thought. Her heart had once been very vibrant, and if she had not gone through those two years of torment, then perhaps she would still be fine right now.

Somi noticed that Lisa was feeling a little dejected, so she comforted her in a soft voice. "Even though I can't make it, Sister-in-law Tzuyu will be there for sure!"
