Chapter 110

How come? That's Ji-a's number. He was sure with his life.

But what made Lee Chun really convinced that something was definitely not right is when he complained about all his bank accounts being frozen but Mr Kuo-hon remained calm and simply said.

“ Don't worry. My account isn't frozen. I will give you whatever you need. "

Lee Chun became very fearful and worried about Ji-a as he knew his father was the one responsible for this and might have done something to harm Ji-a.

So Lee Chun sought to return back to South Korea after only a week in America but that proved mission impossible. He had no money for a plane ticket and his personal assistant won't give him any money.

However Lee Chun was determined to get back to Ji-a so he sought to get a job to earn some money that he would use to buy plane tickets. You can imagine the son of a billionaire washing people's toilets and dishes even though he still gets fired less than 3 days in a job. Any job he finds he gets fired regardless of his performance, Lee Chun knew this was the hand work of his father.

His father was making it hard and impossible for him to come back to Korean and when Lee Chun finally confirmed he was in a prison and trapped was when he managed to raise the money for a plane ticket back to South Korea by becoming a male strip dancer and amateur, secret modelling..

He had bought a ticket doing these things but wasn't allowed to board the plane by the airport authorities, in fact he was arrested and slept inside the cell for 3 days.

So he had no choice but to wait for 2 years until he graduated from business school before he could come back home to South Korea....

On getting home he asked for Ji-a but everyone seemed to have gone mute and when they did finally speak, after Lee Chun's constant disturbance, Lee Chun nearly ran mad from what he heard.

“ Forget about that orphan girl, because you will never see her again. " His Father simply said.

“ I will find her father, even if it means searching the whole universe. I will definitely find her. "

Lee Chun had said with much determination and hope.

And oh boy did he search?! For months Lee Chun searched and looked for Ji-a, there was nowhere he didn't search for her in South Korea....

But it was a lost cause, she was done. She couldn't be found and Lee Chun gave up the search after a year of searching.

Finally, Mr and Mrs Lee thought they had won and that Lee Chun was ready to move on with his life but they thought wrong as Lee Chun stopped eating, nor drinking. Not even water.

He only mentions Ji-a's name even when he sleeps; her name never leaves his lips.

For days he went without food until he fell seriously ill to the point of death, still he refused to eat anything. Mr and Mrs Lee feared for the life of their child, their only son.

“ He will die. My son can't die! Please don't let my son die! Please!...."

Mrs Lee swept bitterly to her husband.

Mr Lee was also in a state of confusion and anguish. His only son, the heir to his wealth and name is seeking to end his own life by starving himself of food and water.

The only words he utters are the name of that orphan girl he despises. Ji-a. What kind of spell has he cast on his son, Mr Lee wondered but then he wondered why he hated her so?

Is it because she is poor? Or an orphan? She really hasn't done anything bad or wrong to him nor his family. In fact she has made their son a better person. He is now a change man, a good man yet he treated the poor, innocent girl like a criminal. Maybe this is God's punishment for him for treating that innocent girl in such a terrible manner.

God wants to punish him by taking the life of his only son. He has learnt his lessons now and he prays God gives him a second chance to do the right thing and not punish him this severely.

As Mr Lee stood by the bed of his almost lifeless son's body he made a promise to him.

“ Please don't die, my son. Please don't leave me and your mother. Please we love you so much. I will bring her back. That orphan girl, Ji-a. I will bring her back and you two can get married. You have my full permission and blessings. Please just don't die. "

He said and the powerful and Wealthy Mr Lee gave way to tears.

All Lee Chun could say was, “ Ji-a. "

Immediately Mr Lee used his contacts to bring Ji-a back to South Korea. Ji-a didn't want to come at first but when they told her about the condition of Lee Chun, she almost couldn't control herself. She wanted to see him, to take care of him.so she followed the men Mr Lee had sent - traveling back to South Korea....

On getting to South Korea, Ji-a didn't have the time to see if anything had changed or not. It's been close to four years now and she has been away. Life had been hard for her living in a foreign land. Fending for herself and learning a new language, she had managed to have a life in China but never, not once did she forget about Lee Chun. She still has the engagement ring he gave her even though at one point she thought she would never see his beautiful face again....

“ Lee Chun. "

She gasped and the tears came pouring down her eyes as she saw the terrible state he was now. He looked so lean and pale, he couldn't even open his eyes.

Ji-a quickly went and sat on the side of the bed he lay, taking one of his. She spoke to him.

“ Lee Chun, what has happened to you? What has happened to my beautiful Lee Chun? " she spoke tenderly but with lots of emotions and Lee Chun's family stood watching.

“ Ji-a..my Ji-a

" Lee Chun said softly, eyes still closed.

“ Yes, it's me Ji-a. Please open your eyes Lee Chun. It's me, your Ji-a. Please open your eyes Lee Chun. " She cooed and Lee Chun slowly opened his eyes to the amazement of everyone there, Lee Chun's family and his best friend Byung-ho.

“ Ji-a, is this really you my Ji-a? " He spoke weakly. Ji-a nodded with eyes full of tears.

“ It's me, Lee Chun. It's me. "

She said but he wanted to confirm if she was really the one or maybe he was hallucinating, so he slowly moved his right hand up to her face - placing it gently on her cheek and after a while a smile formed on his face.

“ It's really you. It's really you my Ji-a. I have missed you. I am sorry.. I failed you. I let them take you away from me_ " Ji-a cut him short.

” Hush, let's not talk about the past now. All that matters is that I am here now. I am here and I am not going anywhere. "

She said brushing his hair gently, while he swept softly even she was still in tears...

After a while.

“ I heard you haven't been eating, you have been a really naughty boy. I will punish you for that but first I will feed you. You will eat right? " She said and he nodded.

“ Bring me his food. Let me feed him. " Ji-a said and Lee Chun's Mom hurriedly ordered the maid to bring something for him to eat....

Sitting him up, Ji-a slowly spoon fed Lee Chun and for the first time since over a week Lee Chun was eating again. His mother couldn't hold her emotions, she was just crying happily and thanking Ji-a, same with the rest of the family.

Mr Lee, with Mia, Kia. and Byung-ho.

For the next 7 days, Ji-a took care of Lee Chun like a little baby. She fed him and bathed him and gradually he regained his strength and he looked more like his beautiful self once more.

Another week passed, now Lee was fully recovered and arrangements for his wedding with Ji-a commenced. Everyone was invited to his wedding both the rich and poor.

Finally the day came. The day when he would make Ji-a his wife.
