A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 132

After the Smith Group turns the corner, Lily is relieved, but as an acting president, she has to read dozens of emails and approve documents every day. She also has to learn obscure financial knowledge. It makes her exhausted.

Daisy seldom plays her mobile phone. After she sees the news, she immediately calls Lily.

“Is my son-in-law all right?

"Mom, it's not your son-in-law." Lily corrects her, "Mr. Louis is really my boss, and he is still in the hospital. The doctor says everything is fine. I will see Mr. Louis later."

Daisy doesn't listen to her at all. All she says is, "He's fine. Did he start his own business? If he doesn’t mind you have divorced, I think it is you who get the benefits."

"..."

"If you are not busy, go to the hospital to visit him more. There are probably many women who like him, so be careful not to let other women take him. Well, remember to contact your sister and come back more when you have time."

Then Daisy hangs up the phone.

"..."

During the two minutes talk, Daisy keeps talking about Louis, as if she doesn't exist.

Lily sighs.

She shouldn't take drunk Louis back home that day, so Daisy wouldn't think so much.

In the afternoon when she is off work, Lily is still reading the documents. Jessie sends messages to Lily, excitedly telling her that Coffey is on holiday now and they plan to meet each other.

Lily thinks highly about Coffey. Although he is a bit dull, he is tall and smart. It depends on whether they have feelings for each other.

After returning to Jessie WeChat, Lily buries herself in busy work.

When someone from the risk department comes to deliver the documents and asks her if she is hungry, Lily finds it is already 9 o’clock. She packs up the documents and goes to the hospital.

Lily doesn't come to the hospital very often, but she keeps in touch with Leigh, from whom she knows Louis is recovering well and he will wake up soon.

"Miss Lily."

It’s Justin who stays here tonight. He greets Lily as she enters.

Lily nods and looks at the man in the hospital bed, feeling a sense of panic and disappointment. "It has been more than two weeks, but the doctor doesn't say when Mr. Louis would wake up."

"It is hard to say." Justin sees Lily's concern and soothes her, "You don’t have to worry. Louis is fine."

Justin pulls up a chair for Lily to sit on and pours a cup of warm water for her. "I watched the news. Miss Lily is very agile and handled the business of the Smith Group very well.

"You flattered me. I'm not the only one who helps the Smith Group turn the corner." says Lily, "Did the doctor say Mr. Louis’s legs would recover?"

Justin hesitates.

Louis's plans are known only to the four of them, and even Mr. Smith doesn’t know about it. When he comes back, he witnesses everything Lily did. She is a capable and trustworthy woman.

He really wants to tell Lily something to make her feel less guilty, but he also understands that Louis must have a reason for not telling Lily about his plan, so he can't.

"Mr. Justin?" Seeing Justin doesn't answer her, Lily's voice trembles, "Could it be that what the doctor said was terrible, Mr. Louis has lost his legs?"

Justin could only nod, pretending to whisper, "It's basically muscular death. But don't worry, just wait until Louis wakes up. Medical skills in D country is very excellent, and I have friends who can cure Louis' legs."

Lily drops her eyes.

She knows Justin is reassuring herself. If the leg diseases are so easy to treat, there would not be so many people living in wheelchairs in the world, but she has to believe him.

It's because she's backed up by lies that she's less anxious and less self-blamed.

Justin answers the phone outside the room. Not long after, there is a knock on the door of the ward and a nurse is standing outside pushing a trolley.

"I've come to change Mr. Louis's medicine," the nurse says.

Lily steps aside to let her in.

When the nurse pushes the trolley to the bedside, she nearly rips off the infusion tube.

"It's too dark to see it," the nurse says to Lily, who is standing by.

Lily is puzzled by her words. She looks up at the light. Although the lights are low in the room, they can shine all around the room.

Lily looks at the bedside. The nurse changes the medicines skillfully, but it is more like pretending to do so. The needle should be the most susceptible to bacteria, but she touches it directly with her hand.

Is this nurse an intern?

The more Lily looks at the nurse, the more unprofessional she feels. She looks at the nurse's uniform down and then freezes.

She does not often go in and out of the hospital, but also knows that the nurses will wear nurse uniform and nurse shoes, but this nurse wearing a pair of leather shoes!

When Lily finds out that the nurse is not right, she looks up and sees the nurse grab the syringe from the minivan and jab Louis's neck.

The nurse moves quickly and fiercely, and Lily is a little far from the bed. She is anxiously sweating, and when she catches a glimpse of the hot water bottle on the table, she picks it up and throws it over.

The lid of the kettle is lifted, and the boiling water is poured on the nurse's back.

"Ah!" The nurse shrieks as her arm drops, and the needle plunges into the quilt. Lily pounces on her. She locks the nurse’s neck with her arms and pulls her back.

Coffey taught her and Joey how to defend themselves when they were at home. Lily sees her brother was serious, so she learned the skills.

She didn’t think it would come in handy today.

Lily surmises that she is not a nurse, but she doesn't realize the nurse will fight back. After Lily tugs her back, she reacts what has happened and kicks Lily in the knees.

Lily's knees go soft and she almost drops to her knees. Her arms are still on the nurse's neck. After she loses her breath, the nurse starts to move wildly, grabbing around and stabbing Lily with the needle.

They all to the ground and scuffle.

"Help! Help!"

Lily screams at the top of her voice, hoping the bodyguards outside can hear her. Her arm is pierced with countless small holes. It is bloody and she feels painful. Gradually she couldn't hold on.

With her legs locked around the nurse's waist, she manages to pick up the hot water bottle that has fallen to the floor and hits it hard on the nurse's head.

The nurse cleverly avoids it.

Lily has no advantage over the nurse who knows kung fu. One of her legs is severely twisted by the nurse's leg, and it breaks with a click. She snorts and sweats in pain.

The nurse rolls over, her knees bend and press on Lily, gasping for breath.

"You want to kill me, bitch?"

The nurse pulls out the syringe and stabs Lily in the neck with the needle in her hand.

Lily cocks her head and tries to grab the nurse's arm, but when the nurse sees it, she grins and stabs the needle on her face.

Lily shivers and screams in pain.
