Lilia also got up from her chair and moved beside Jenny. She watched her eyes closed with a sad face, then her gaze fell on Jenny's eyebrows inadvertently. The middle aged woman's appearance reminded her of Mellisa's face. Lilia wondered if Mellisa and she would also look like this when they were older.
Without warning, Jenny opened her eyes and met Lilia's curious eyes. She was a little surprised, then she said in a forced cheerful tone, "What did you see on my face, Lilia? Do the wrinkles on my face get any clearer now?"
Lilia stared at Jenny's tired face for a moment, then she said softly, "I don't think Aunt Jenny hasn't eaten well in the last two days. Your face looks a little sluggish than usual. Your wrinkles aren't obvious, but there are dark circles under Aunty's eyes,"
Jenny laughed out loud at Lilia's straightforward answer. Even so, she didn't feel offended. She knew that this young woman didn't mean anything bad to her words.
Lilia turned to the window before looking back at Jenny. "It's too early now, how about Aunt Jenny take a nap? I'll be here, so Auntie can call me anytime you need something,"
Jenny stared at her without blinking, as if thinking seriously about her offer.
Seeing this, Lilia no longer held back. She immediately pulled Jenny toward the bed, then she helped her sit down there.
Then Lilia whispered, "Aunty Jenny, just take a quick nap, okay? Isn't it better to handle the Hartanto family's matters when you have enough energy?"
This sentence, like a kind of reminder, made all of Jenny's doubts disappear. After the woman laid down, she fell into a deep sleep in just a few minutes.
Lilia sat on the sofa and glanced at Jenny from time to time. When she was getting bored, she took out her cell phone and started exchanging messages with Mellisa.

In the park outside the inpatient department, there were only a few patients walking around there. This was due to the cold wind that seemed to blow nonstop. The wind carried the fallen leaves, making the ground covered with dry leaves.
The garden was not big, but it was well maintained. Patients dressed in hospital gowns and heavy jackets were seen walking slowly around it. In the midst of such cold air, there was only one place that made passersby turn their heads repeatedly.
Under one of the shady trees, three young men with handsome faces gathered. They all had cigarettes in their hands, but their faces looked grim. The cold wind blew past the hem of their coats along with the smoke they exhaled.
Alex's posture while he smoked looked very elegant. His well proportioned and slender fingers put the cigarette to his lips. Then he puffed out his cigarette smoke before turning to look at Alan.
"I'm sure you know that Chris was hurt not by coincidence. What are you going to do now?" Asked Alex coldly. At this time, he spoke to Alan not as a friend, but as a representative of the Hartanto Family.
Chris was mortally injured from saving Jenny. They couldn't blame Jenny, but Alan also had to do something to compensate for it.
Jean, who had been standing still all this time, also narrowed his eyes. He looked at Alan with a cold gaze, waiting for his answer.
Not long after, Alan threw the cigarette butts in his hand into the trash can next to him. He looked up to look at Alex and Jean in turn. Then Alan opened his mouth to answer.
"The Hartanto family has started moving. It's time to clean up the people moving behind the scenes. Just don't get involved in this matter for a while you guys. No matter what happens, I won't let Chris get stabbed by that knife for nothing. I will resolve this conflict," Alan said softly, but still full of determination.
In the end, this problem was caused by an internal conflict between the two sons of the Hartanto family. Even though Jean and Alex were best friends with Chris, this was not the time for them to step in.
At this moment, Jean's gaze turned even sharper as he glared at Alan. "Even without you telling us, we will not interfere in Hartanto's family matters. But Chris' injury is another matter," He said coldly.
Alex nodded. "I agree with what Jean said. Alan, we'll leave the Hartanto family matters to you. But for the matters relating to Chris's injury, let us handle it,"
Alan's expression remained unchanged. He looked up and allowed his gaze to wander as he thought of the offer. Finally, Alan sighed and said, "Okay, I'll let you guys take care of that,"
Alan secretly hoped in his heart that they wouldn't find out about the details.

It wasn't even nine yet, but Jenny was already fast asleep in the ward.
Lilia was still sitting on the sofa and exchanging messages with Mellisa. She was just telling her plan when Mellisa suddenly gave unexpected news.
[Mellisa]: "The Pangestu Family husband and wife went to Jakarta!"
When she read this news, Lilia's fingers stopped typing on the screen. Her face that always looked calm had turned cold and mocking. It seemed they were getting more and more impatient. Didn't they just visit in September? Only one month had passed, but why did they return to visit?
Lilia closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then she opened her eyes again. Lilia then replied to Mellisa's message.
[Lilia]: "When did they leave?"
[Mellisa]: "I heard they just arrived in Jakarta last night. Leila's health has not been very good lately. I think they're worried about her."
Leila was not feeling well...
This sentence made Lilia remember that she used to have a weak body and got sick easily. Even so, every time Lilia's condition worsened and she had to be hospitalized, Sylvia never visited her once. Robert tried to find the time to come on the sidelines of his job, but Lilia spent most of her time alone in the hospital.
On the other hand, when Sylvia heard that Leila was sick, the woman immediately went all the way to Jakarta just to visit her. The corner of Lilia's mouth lifted into a bitter smile. A mother's love and care for her own daughter was different!
Lilia was still holding her cellphone, but her mood was greatly affected. She did not expect that Robert and Sylvia would go to Jakarta, which would ruin the original plan.
There was a long silence in the Other apps when Lilia didn't reply. However, Mellisa could not wait long. A few seconds later, she immediately called Lilia.
The vibration of the cell phone was bothering Lilia. She hurriedly glanced at the sleeping Jenny, then she left the ward silently. Lilia walked a few steps away from the door, then picked up the phone.
Before she could say anything, Mellisa immediately asked, "Lilia, are you okay?"
She was worried about her younger sister suddenly stopping replying to her messages. Mellisa wondered if Lilia's mood was ruined after hearing the news. After all, the two of them were still discussing how to expose the Pangestu Family's lies a few minutes ago.
Coincidentally, Herri also sent a message to Mellisa. The man said that a husband and wife had sneaked into the hospital to visit Leila.
After thinking about it for a moment, Mellisa was sure that the pair were Robert and Sylvia Pangestu. Their love for Leila was literally etched into their bones!
