Idiot, Aren't You In Pain?

Lila didn't expect for this to happen. But, as long as her brother wasn't being bullied, nothing else mattered to her.

For some reason, Lila felt like she could trust Josephine. She felt like she would be the key to protecting Jackson, like a protective fortress.

Perhaps it was because they had gone to school together, even after leaving Hyatt Regency, Josephine and Jackson found themselves still deep in conversation. In fact, they exchanged contact details and Jackson even offered to escort Josephine home.

"It's fine, my home isn't that far. Plus, I drove myself over here anyway."

"You are helping me with a huge favor tomorrow. It's only right for me to take you home today."

Josephine wasn't an overly cautious person. So, she couldn't see any reason to reject Jackson's sincerity as she boarded his sports car. However, for a short moment, Jackson was suddenly reminded of the woman that used to sit beside him: Grace Song.
