A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 172

Ellison screams in pain and lets go of Lily. He falls to the ground, twitching and bleeding.

Louis slides his wheelchair into the warehouse. Lily lies still on the ground with dull eyes. His heart aches. He picks her up and wraps her in a blanket. "You're safe now." Louis strokes her hair and comforts her mildly, "I won't let him off."

He does not look at anyone and carries Lily out.

"You! You're so stupid!" Antony is very angry. He turns around and angrily says to the servant, "Hurry up and find a doctor!"

Louis carries Lily to the bathroom, only to discover that her hands have been fractured. He gets so mad that he wishes he has shot Ellison in the heart.

"It might hurt. Hold it," says Louis.

After finding the fractured bones, Louis links up her wrists in one go.

"Ouch!" Lily finally recovers from terror. Her forehead is sweating from the pain. She blinks and finds that she is hugged by Louis. Her eyes turn red.

She has been in a daze.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. You'll be fine." Louis kisses her hands gently, although they are dirty. Lily is embarrassed and pulls out her hands.

Seeing that the bathtub is full, Louis says, "Take a bath first. I'll ask someone to buy clothes for you."

"Can you stay here?" Lily grabs his clothes. She is startled by what happened just now. "Please stay here. I..."

She doesn't want to be alone.

"Alright." Louis does not refuse. He turns his back to the bathtub and calls the servant.

Louis asks the servant to buy her clothes. And the size of the clothes is just right for her. She gets a bit shy.

She thinks, he must have scored a lucky hit.

After soaking in the bathtub, Lily gradually get relaxed. Looking at the light red mark on her chest, she feels sick.

Louis knows that she feels uncomfortable when he hears her retching noise. He clenches his fist.

He asks softly, "Is there any injury on your body?"

"No." Lily takes a deep breath and calms herself down, "President Smith, how did you find me?"

"I couldn't have done this without your brother." Louis says. "Your brother called you, and the servant answered the phone. The servant came to Lotus Pond but didn't see you, so he gave me the phone."

"Looks like I made it." Lily looks at the ring in her hand and says, "Fortunately, I didn't put it at home for its ugly look. It saved my life."

"What is it? Can I take a look?"

Lily stretches out to show him the ring, "My brother gave it to me before. I don't know what's inside. But he asked me to knock it if I'm in danger."

That ring is not different from other ordinary rings. It even looks like a defective ring.

Louis stares at the ring for a long time. He suddenly recalls the call and that familiar voice.

"What's your brother's name?"

"Coffey." After answering his question, Lily feels puzzled, "Why did you ask about my younger brother's name?"

Louis turns on his phone and hands it to her. "Is this him?"

The young man in the photo shown on the screen is Coffey. It seems like an ID photo and he looks very serious.

"Yes, he's my brother." Lily is shocked. She looks up at Louis and says, "President Smith, why do you have a picture of my brother? Are you..."

She gets a little nervous.

Noticing that she's stammering nervously, Louis bursts into laughter. He puts his face close to hers, "Do you want to know my sexual orientation?"

His voice is so deep and seductive.

Lily blushes and stutters, "No, no, thanks."

Louis chuckles softly. As he catches a glimpse of the red marks on her chest, his eyes darken with rage.

"Have a good bath." Louis strokes her hair and says, "I'll settle those things after you have a good rest. Even his father is not to defend him."

Lily says, "How about...?"

"No," Louis interrupts her, "I gave him a chance last time. Lily, even if the Smith family is broken, it has nothing to do with you."

Lily nods.

She is just afraid that Louis would be so ruthless that the Smith family is against him. However, Louis is determined to seek justice for her. So, she decides not to stop him.

Personally speaking, she will not let Ellison off too.

"President Smith, you haven't told me how you know my younger brother and why you keep his picture," says Lily.

"I asked him to do me a favor."

Louis happened to know Coffey's identity just now. He guesses Lily has no idea about what Coffey is doing. So, he just gives her a very ambiguous answer.

"What can he do for you as a student?" Lily wants the details and asks curiously.

Louis glances at the ring on her hand.

"Oh, I got it. He was especially good at mathematics and physics when he was in high school. He might be able to become a scientist and benefit mankind in the future! However, he has a lot of school work now. President Smith, please be nice to him," says Lily.

After a pause, she adds, "Well, my family doesn't lack money, and I don't expect him to achieve great achievements. If he has any strange ideas, don't agree with him!"

Louis asks curiously, "Like what?"

Lily says, "You know, boys are always hot-blooded. I'm worried that he wants to become a soldier or a bodyguard on impulse, especially after he knew Kay. It would be dangerous."

Louis chuckles.

In fact, not only does Coffey know him, but also, he is Kay's boss!

Lily is a little puzzled, "President Smith, what are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

Louis says somewhat jealously, "You must be tired. You really care about him. You fear that he will go astray so much."

"He has already gone astray! There are so many pretty girls, but he likes none of them! I don't even know how to tell my mother about it." Lily seems worried.

"I used to dislike Miss Chloe. But when I think of my brother, she seems perfect. By the way, President Smith, Miss Chloe seems to have fell in love with a man."

Louis raises his eyebrows, "Why didn't I know that?"

"She picked on me, not you!" Lily rolls her eyes at him and says, "She met me twice. Every time she would throw a cheque onto me and tell me to break up with a man called Grey Wolf. She said I was shameless because she thought I flirted with a young guy."

"I'm completely confused. I don't even know I have a boyfriend! That guy must have used my name, so Miss Chloe thought he liked me and picked on me."

"By the way, whose name would be Grey Wolf? Isn't that too strange?"

"Did she really tell you that?" Louis asks.

He is also confused, not knowing why Chloe doesn't pester him anymore.

It turns out that she is pestering Coffey.
