A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 61

"Have other protectors come?"

"No. There is a problem with their route. They won’t arrive until tonight." Seeing that Louis is carrying a suitcase, Coffey asks, "Mr. Louis, are you going to live with me?"

Come on. He would rather live with the protectors.

"I just got something from my friend and want to give it to you." Louis puts the leather suitcase on the table but does not open it. "Your mission may have to change."

"Does the salary change as well?"

It is a very serious topic, but when Coffey mentions the money, Louis couldn't help laughing, "I don't think you are poor. Why are you eager to earn money?"

"I am poor. My sister just got divorced, and I have to make money to support her." Coffey shrugs. He always feels that there is something good in the suitcase and wants to open it. "If I get the money, you can ask anything."

Louis couldn't help asking, "What does your sister do?"

"It's a private affair." Coffey doesn't answer it, and is wary, "I hate the people with surname Smith most. If not because of the money, I won’t talk to you."

"..."

Although Louis feels something strange, he doesn't ask anymore. "My friend is very important to my business. She has to be fine." says Louis.

"In these days when we stay in the hotel, you have to make sure that she is safe. If you have any problems, you can solve them directly. David has helped you change the identity, and the people in the hotel will not say anything."

"OK." Coffey nods, "And the salary?"

Louis says a number, and Coffey is stunned in his heart, but he remains calm, "Mr. Louis, rest assured, I am responsible for the lady’s safety."

At half past seven in the evening, David and other four protectors arrive at the Park Hyatt Makchika Palace.

David takes them to meet Coffey. Of the four men, Kay and one of them graduated from Coffey's school, so they are alumni, and they acquaint themselves with each other soon.

Then David carries his suitcase to Lily.

Louis is busy with business and doesn’t have time to have dinner with them. David takes Lily to the restaurant for dinner.

When they enter the restaurant, Coffey has just finished eating and leaves another door. When Lily sees a dark-skinned man, she frowns.

Why does he and Coffey look as alike?

"Miss Lily, what's wrong?" asks David.

"Nothing." Lily thinks that she just had a phone call with Coffey a few hours ago, and he said that he is at school. How could he be here?

Besides, if Coffey is here, don’t think he could run away from Lily once she catches him.

After the dinner, David is afraid that Lily would be bored, and wants to show her around the hotel, but Louis calls him, so he carries the packed meals and goes upstairs with Lily.

When they arrive at Louis's room, Louis is still dealing with business. His lips are a little pale, and apparently, he hasn't drunk water for a long time.

"Mr. Louis, take a break first." David reminds him and puts the food on the table. "You can't forget eating even when you are busy with working."

"Well, wait a minute."

About three minutes later, Louis closes his laptop and gets up.

"If you are free at night, translate this document." Louis hands a piece of paper to Lily.

The broken paper is densely packed with words, which stings Lily’s eyes.

Lily takes a closer look at it for a while, and the text is a bit vague, but she can see that it’s Ukrainian.

"Mr. Louis, you are not in a hurry, right?" Lily asks. She hasn't read Ukrainian for a long time. "The words above are messy and it takes some time to translate them."

"Can you recognize them all?"

"I think so."

Louis seems to be relieved, "Just take your time. Tell me if you translate them all."

"Alright, then I will go back first."

Lily takes this piece of paper back to her room. She takes the notebook and pen on the table and goes to the bathroom to take a bath while translating them.

She hasn’t read Ukrainian for more than three years, plus the words on the paper are messy, so she can only translate the words one by one, and then arrange them to deduce the meanings.

After lying in the bathtub for a long time, she has translated only a few words.

"Huh? It seems to be an address." Lily murmurs. She takes out her phone, and wants to Google it, but the bathroom suddenly goes dark, leaving the screen light of the phone. She feels scared.

Footsteps sound outside.

Lily tightens all over, and she has a bad hunch. She hurriedly turns off her phone to prevent the person from seeing where she is and then quietly creeps out of the bathtub.

There are monitors everywhere in the corridor. How did this person open the door and come in?

Lily hides in the corner, and under the cover of a towel, she quickly finds David's number and dials it. The footsteps outside become clearer and clearer, and she feels stuffy in the bathroom.

There is a glass ventilation window in the bathroom, which is not completely dark. After a while, Lily can see the layout of the bathroom. The man is turning the door lock.

The phone is connected, but Lily dares not to make a sound. She turns down the volume, and gently puts the phone on the floor with the towel.

The bathroom door is pulled open, and she sees a figure coming in. Lily senses that the man is going to kill her, and she feels chilly under her feet. She dares not move.

The man looks strong and can kill her with one hand. How to escape?

Lily has scolded Joey in her heart for the 83rd time. If that idiot doesn't steal the cufflinks, would she be involved in so many troubles?!

After living for more than 20 years, she came across of what she would only see on TV series.

Because of fear, Lily's heart is beating violently. She watches the shadow coming into the bathroom. His head is moving, as if looking for her.

He is so tall, at least 6.3 feet.

When the man turns away, Lily smashes the thing in her hand against the man, and runs towards the light that is thrown in from outside.

The curtains of the balcony are not closed, and the moonlight shines bright the room.

Lily avoids the table and chair and stumbles towards the door. When she is about to reach the doorknob, her hair is grabbed by the man and an arm holds her neck.

The strong sense of suffocation makes Lily struggle desperately. The man is so tall that she couldn't scratch his face at all. The arm holds tightly her neck and she couldn't pull it out.

Help!

Lily seems to be the fish jumping to the shore and is ready to be dry in the sun. Fear, despair, and consciousness dissipate bit by bit.

Suddenly, the door is kicked open severely, and the man tightens Lily all the more. The next second, he kicks the door again, and the door is open.

Louis sees the man illuminated by the light, and Lily's neck is held tightly. Lily couldn’t struggle, and she almost loses consciousness.

At that moment, Louis feels his heart is almost jump out.

He rushes into the room quickly, and kicks the man on the head. The man doesn’t have time to block it, and he is kicked on the temple. Then the man feels dizzy for a few seconds.

While the man loosens his hand, Louis grabs Lily's arm and drags her into his arms.

Louis kicks the man again fiercely, and the man keeps backing away. He hugs Lily out quickly and bumps into David.

"He wouldn't dare to come out. He would escape through the window. Call the Gray Wolf!"

Louis instructs. He dares not to delay the time, and puts Lily down. Lily’s breathing is weak and he immediately takes the first aid measures.

David hurriedly picks up the phone.
