A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 129

Leigh keeps talking. Justin is about to say something, but Daniel seems to frown, and he looks stern, as if some word has struck his heart.

For several years, they have been together in New York every day. Leigh has found out that even if someone puts a gun at Daniel's forehead, he would change his expressions.

It seems that when Daniel went to the hospital to look for Louis a week ago, he seemed to perceive something and his mood changed obviously. Although it lasted for only a few seconds, he also saw it.

Is it because of someone?

Justin's mind is running fast. Combined with Daniel's attitude to Chloe that night, and what Leigh said, Justin seems to have guessed something and smiles.

“Compared to Lily, I like Miss Stella, who is well educated and graced." says Justin.

“That’s dangerous, Justin.” Leigh pauses, then slaps him hard on the shoulder with a vicious smile on his lips. "Miss Stella is Louis's fiancee. Do you want to rob her from Louis?"

"No, she just happens to be my type." Justin says, glancing at Daniel out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, Daniel's lips tighten all the more and he looks gloomily.

Sure enough, he guesses it right.

"You’ve been single for so many years. It's rare to see you interested in women." says Leigh, "How about you wait for Louis to wake up and talk to him, maybe Louis will fulfill you??"

"Yes. I will try it."

The more they talk, the more excited they become. Only Daniel frowns all the time and his breath becomes gloomier. He takes Leigh away like a chicken and says, "Go back. I will stay here tonight.”

Justin quickly grabs his wrist, looks at his ring finger, and exclaims, "Daniel, why did you get a tattoo on the inside of your finger?"

“Let me see!” Leigh gets excited.

When he sees the words on the inside of Daniel's ring finger, he chuckles, "No wonder Daniel is wearing a ring all the time. It's a cover! Artemis? Isn't that the name of the goddess of hunting in Greek mythology?"

Justin quips, "I didn’t know Daniel is into Greek gods. He has a good taste."

"I don't think so.” The love expert Leigh expresses his opinion. "A certain woman must be the goddess of hunting in Daniel's mind. The reason why Daniel tattoos his fingers is that he can think of that woman by just looking at the name."

Leigh gets more and more excited. "Daniel, so you've been in a relationship before? Oh, what kind of woman you would fall in love with? Tell us."

Daniel's calm face is getting sullen. He doesn't say anything, but stares at Leigh darkly. Leigh drops his hand with a shrug and a smile.

At that moment, there is a knock on the door.

Justin goes to the door and is surprised to see Lily and Stella outside the room. "Miss Lily, Miss Stella, why are you here so late?"

"I've been busy before, and I don't know how Mr. Louis is. I happen to be free today, so I come here." says Lily, "I didn’t know Miss Stella is here to see Mr. Louis, so we come here together."

Stella nods at Justin, her voice soft, "Sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome. You're Louis's fiancee, and you have more to deal with than we do." Justin smiles and turns to Leigh in the ward. "Leigh, let’s go. Daniel will stay here tonight."

"Don't Miss Lily and Miss Stella just come here. Should we leave now?"

As Leigh struggles, Justin continues to smile, with the implied warning, "Are you really not going back? Think about it. I don’t want you to suffer any pain."

Leigh is chilled.

Shit, he doesn't mess with Justin. Why his words are so creepy?

To save her life, Leigh leaves slouchy with Justin, and soon Daniel is left in the ward, along with Lily and Stella, who have just arrived.

Lily is not familiar with Daniel, and the man is so quiet that he gives people a sense of distance. However, it is not polite for not greeting him, so she smiles at Daniel and says, "Mr. Daniel."

Daniel doesn't give her a look. He just picks up the suit jacket on the chair and marches out of the ward.

Lily, "..."

She thinks Louis is very nice now. At least if you greet him, he will give you a response.

Stella looks at the door and says to Lily, "You rarely come to see Louis in the hospital, just talk to him. I will wait outside and not bother you."

"No, I'm just..." Lily wants say that she would leave soon, but Stella goes out smartly, and closes the door.

As soon as they have left, she is left alone in the ward. Lily feels helpless, so she walks towards the hospital bed. This is the first time she saw Louis after his car accident. The first night they had car accident, she just saw him outside the ward.

Louis's face is flushed, and his condition is much better than before. He is breathing shallowly, as if he is asleep.

Since he gets better, Lily feels relieved. She sits next to the hospital bed, hesitating, and then puts his hand outside the quilt in her palm.

"After your accident, everyone is vying to be the acting president, including Miss Olivia comes to the Smith Group." says Lily, “Then Mr. Smith comes here too. He trusts me as much as you did, and voted me to be the acting President.”

The man's fingers are long and pretty, but they are cool.

Lily puts his hand to her cheek and whispers, "Louis, I will take good care of the task you give me. The Smith Group is fine, so you should get well as soon as possible."

She prays that Louis could wake up sooner and heal his legs earlier; otherwise she will be guilty for a lifetime.

Lily holds his hand and talks a lot, most of which is about the company. In the quiet ward, only she is speaking, while the man on the hospital bed breathes lightly without any response.

After that, Lily looks at the man's rosy cheek and runs her finger on his face. It comes to her mind that when they were in Turkey, he caught a pot of fireflies in order to make her happy.

"Whatever you like, I'll do anything to get it back."

And on his 30th birthday, she took him to an amusement park at night, where he ran around buying food for her, carrying her on the merry-go-round, and scolded at the nagging boy.

"In my heart, my lady is always eighteen years old. she is a little child, and I am willing to hold her the whole life."

"..."

Lily could not help laughing as she thinks of all the wonderful things. She stares at the man's face, as if the memory is imprinted in her heart. Unconsciously, she lowers her head and slowly approaches him.

The distance between them becomes closer, and their breathes entangle.

The man's breath, mixed with disinfectant, enters Lily's nose. Just as she is about to kiss his lips, Lily suddenly returns to her senses and sits up with her heart beating wildly.
