A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 137

Louis recognizes that something is wrong with her voice and guesses that she is thinking about his legs.

It is Lily who keeps talking during breakfast.

She tells him about the company and tells him how Mr. Smith worries about him. Louis can't help laughing.

He didn’t tell Mr. Smith about the car accident, but he's so smart that he probably knows about his plan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the office to support Lily and appoints her as the acting President.

"Mr. Louis?" Louis is thinking about something, but Lily thinks he has noticed no feeling in his legs and is in a gloomy mood, so she says quickly, "The doctor said that your leg is only numb for a while and you will be fine."

Louis suddenly wants to tease her and says in a low voice, "What if it doesn't get better?" he croaks.

“No! Lily's nose gets sour, "Mr. Louis, your legs will be fine. If it doesn’t get better, I'll take care of you and show you around every country."

"There are so many excellent doctors in the medical field, there is always one who can help Mr. Louis."

Her words hit Louis's calm heart like a stone throwing on the calm river, causing ripples. He looks at her eyes that are so sincere and clear.

She is so serious, as if he is in trouble and she would see it through.

Louis thinks of what Justin has said last night.

"Louis, have you ever wondered how she would feel if she knows that you are planning all this and that you are lying to her?"

Yeah, what would she feel like when she knows all about this?

At first, he didn’t include Lily in the plan, just wants her to help him solve the cooperation in Turkey. However, after they spent a lot of time together, he finds that Lily has many shining points.

She's smart, she's flexible, and she's calm.

From the time he went to the village to discuss the cooperation, he changed his plan and brought Lily in. He set up a new department and promoted her to be the manager. All of these are to pave the way for the future.

And she really does not let him down. She can deal with all things perfectly, and no one can compare with her.

"Lily."

He doesn't call her Miss Lily, and the deep voice makes her stunned.

"Justin tells me all about the Smith Group. You've been working so hard." Louis says, " You are very excellent, and you need someone to inspire your potential. I hope you won't hate me."

Lily doesn't understand what he means. On the night he was in the car accident, she felt something was wrong, but she feels that she would be crazy if she knows all the things.

Is that what she thinks?

No. Louis won’t joke about that.

Louis sees that her chin is white and pointed, and he pinches it in his hand, but it is unexpectedly fleshy and soft.

Lily's attention is drawn to her chin.

Her ears turn red and her voice stiffens at this intimate gesture. "Mr. Louis."

"I didn't realize your face is so fleshy."

"..."

Lily is about to retort, "Are you suggesting that I am fat?" but there is a knock on the door and she reflexively slaps Louis' hand away.

The heavy slap is clear and loud, and the back of the man's hand is hit red.

The atmosphere freezes for a moment.

"Mr. Louis, are you awake?"

The nurse comes to change the medicine on time. She is so excited when Louis wakes up that she immediately goes to call the doctor.

Lily doesn't dare to look at Louis's face. She lowers her head and eats porridge.

He pinches her chin first, so he deserves it!

The hospital does not take it lightly for such a big shot as Louis. Soon a group of doctors arrive, but Louis thinks the ward is crowded, so he asks them out.

When Lily sees Louis being examined by the doctor, she gently tells him he will get better.

She can’t let Louis stay in a wheelchair all his life.

After listening to the doctor's tirade, Louis remains unperturbed, and he simply asks, "Is it just the legs that get hurt? I'll go back and get some rest tomorrow. I don't like the smell of hospitals."

"Yes."

Lily wants to say something, but the phone rings. It is Meghan.

Meghan can’t deal with many things in the Smith Group. If she calls Lily, it means that there is something urgent that happens.

Lily answers the phone, "Meghan, what's up?"

"I do not know for certain. You’d better come back." says Meghan.

"Well, I'll go back in a minute."

Lily is just the acting President. When everyone in the Smith Group calls her president, she feels strange. She always feels that she is not qualified to be the president.

After she hangs up the phone, she remembers that Louis has woken up and that it is up to him to deal with the things.

"Mr. Louis." Lily looks at Louis on the hospital bed and hesitates before saying, "Meghan just called and said that something happens. Are you...”?

"I can't go to the office like this." Louis knows what she is going to say and interrupts, "You are solely responsible for the company, and I trust you."

Lily is uncomfortable at the thought of getting glared at by many people when he goes to work in a wheelchair.

Yeah, Louis would only get laughed at.

"Then I'll give Mr. Leigh a voice call." Lily dials Leigh. Since last night, she is worried about Louis staying alone in the ward.

Louis nods.

Soon Leigh and Justin arrive, as if they haven't done anything to Louis the night before, and they are surprised to know Louis has woken.

Their reaction is so sincere that Lily can't even doubt it. After saying a few words, Lily leaves.

Meghan calls her several times on her way to the company, but Lily couldn't pick up the phone. When she gets to the Smith Group building, she finds that a group of journalists gather around the door.

Seeing that the situation is serious, Lily parks her car in the underground garage and hurries into the elevator.

"Miss Lily."

As soon as Meghan, who has been waiting for her for a long time, sees Lily coming out of the elevator wearing a mask, she immediately comes up to her and asks in surprise, "Do you have a cold?"

"Yes." She nods. The scar on her face is too terrified and she doesn't want to frighten the staff. She also feels embarrassed to let others see her wound. "There are a lot of reporters outside the group. What's going on?"

"Something happened to the Hanchi Branch’s water park development" Meghan reports to her.

"When a crane is transporting rebar, the wire on its head broke, killing the six workers below. It makes news to the local newspaper, and the workers' families put the coffins outside the Hanchi Branch office."

Lily’s heart tightens and she asks quietly, "Has the branch proposed compensation?"

"According to the contract of injury, five million dollars per worker." Meghan says, "But the workers' families are not satisfied. They want $100 million each."

"One hundred million? They meant to make trouble." Lily stops her steps and looks cold. "Let the branch follow the work-related injury contract and if they continue to make troubles at the door of the branch, ask them to go through legal procedures!"

"Ask someone to find out when the crane is bought, the manufacturer, as well as the regular maintenance time. Find the person in charge."

"Yes." Meghan answers, feeling surprised in her heart.

Lily is so calm in the face of such an accident. No wonder Louis hands over the Smith Group to her after the accident.

And would John really want to let go of such a smart woman?

She doesn’t believe it.

Following Lily to the President Office, Meghan continues, "There's something more serious."
