A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 199

Louis narrows his eyes and says in a cold voice, "John, don't annoy me."

"Well, it's my honor to do that," John seems to be ill with a wracking cough. It takes him a while before his breathing gradually evens out.

He is told to have a rest.

John continues, "I will revenge on your aunt for the car accident."

As soon as he finishes speaking, John hangs up.

Seeing Louis puts down the phone, David feels him gets angrier.

Louis asks, "Has everything done?"

"Yes," David says, "Mr. Smollett will come back tomorrow, and Mr. Lou will return the day after tomorrow."

"Get out."

Hearing Louis' words, David turns around and leaves soon. He looks at the diamond in his hand and sighs.

Things are getting more complicated.

After leaving the company, Lily wanders aimlessly along the street in the rain.

She feels empty and annoyed while her phone keeps ringing. She throws it away and gets in a taxi.

"Go to Splendor Road."

When the car stops, Lily pays by cash and goes to the neighborhood, despite the rain.

She is uncomfortable and wants to have a rest.

It comes as a shock to Daisy when she sees Lily, whose clothes are wet and covered in blood, standing at the door. She is anxious, "What happened? Come in and towel yourself dry."

Since there are male leather shoes at the entrance, Lily thinks Coffey is at home as well. However, when she enters the hall, she sees a middle-aged man in suit sitting on the sofa.

She stops and is stunned.

"Darling," the mature man walks towards Lily. He looks like Coffey and in his fifties, as there are wrinkles around the corner of his eyes.

"Don't call my name!" Lily scolds and pushes him out, "We don't welcome you. Get out of here! Get out!"

Absalom doesn't resist until he reaches the door, "Darling, I'm sorry. I know I own you and your brother and mother a lot. I'll try my best to make up for it."

Lily is indifferent, "You are not my father, and I don't need you to make up for it! I told you not to harass my mother! Get out of our house!"

Daisy reappears with a towel.

"Forget it," Daisy says, drying Lily's hair with a towel, "Go take a shower. Don't catch a cold."

"Mom, don't you remember how he hurt us?" Lily throws the towel onto the ground. She never expects to see this man at home after such a long day.

She points at Absalom, "Mom, don't you remember how this man divorced you and went to Japan? Despite your pregnancy, he abandoned you after the failure of his business!"

Daisy casts a glance at Absalom and sighs, "Let bygones be bygones."

"Why? I don't agree!" Lily says in hatred, "It's me and Coffey who honor you and make you happy. Mom, you are fool. How can you let him in?"

Daisy remains silent.

Absalom grabs Lily's arm and apologizes, "Darling, it's all my fault. No matter what you want, I will compensate you."

"I beg you to save your younger brother. He is only fifteen years old. He is a child whose life shouldn't end so early. If you save him, he will be grateful to you forever."

Only now does Lily recognize there is a thin boy in the living room. He is 1.7 meters tall, looking like Coffey when he was in junior high school. But he seems to be better behaved than Coffey.

The boy walks to Absalom, turns to Lily and says to her, "Sister."

"I'm not your sister!" Lily glares at him and points at the door, "Absalom, take your son and scram!"

Absalom begs, "Darling, he is your younger brother as well...."

"I only have one brother!"

"I beg you!" Absalom continues, "Tokuo gets leukemia. As you and Joey's marrow are good match for him, please save him."

Lily finally realizes why Absalom comes today, "Is he dying because of leukemia? Have you ever cared about us when you divorced my mother?"

"Darling."

"It's good Joey is acting abroad. So, she won't see you today," Lily says, and her eyes are cold, "When your son dies, I will go to his funeral. Do you want me to save him? I won't!"

"Darling!" Absalom is annoyed, "Although I've divorced your mother, you're my daughter!"

Lily sneers, "Don't overestimate yourself! It's my mother who gave birth to me and brings me up! As an adult, I have the right to refuse your unreasonable demand!"

"What happened?"

It is Coffey who asks at the door.

As soon as he sees Absalom, his face falls, and he punches him on his face.

He doesn't remember how many times he has looked at the man's photo in hatred.

"Coffey, stop!" Lily stops Coffey and explains to him, "His son has leukemia. He deserves it."

"Scram!" Coffey stares at Absalom and warns, "Don't come back again, or I'll kill you!"

Lily glances at Absalom and says, "Absalom, it seems that you've made a lot of efforts to investigate us."

"Congratulations, you finally marry a wealthy Japanese woman. As you are rich, why don't by him a marrow donor? I won't save him!"

"Coffey, close the door!"

Coffey pushes the boy out of the door and closes it.

Looking at the closed door, the boy remains silent for a while. Then, he says, "Dad, they don't like me. Let me stay here and apologize to sister."

"No need, let's go."

Absalom knows Lily won't help him, so he leaves with his son.

In the car, Tokuo Akihito asks, "Dad, where are we going?"

"Let's go back to the hospital. You need rest." Absalom strokes Tokuo's head. Although Coffey is his son as well, they are not close.

Before heading to the hospital, they go to a restaurant to have a meal.

When Meghan sees Absalom and Tokuo, she walks over and says, "Uncle, why didn't you let me know when you arrive Yorkshire?"

"Hello!" Tokuo greets her.

"Hello!"

"We arrive today," Absalom has ordered a cup of coffee for Meghan, "I went to get help from my ex-wife. However, my daughter refused me."

"Why?" Meghan frowns and says, "To donate bone marrow won't hurt her. Haven't you given her enough money?"
