A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 201

At a certain private hospital in Hanchi …

Victor paces anxiously along the corridor.

He rushes over as soon as the door opens and asks the doctor, “How is it?”

“It’s not promising.” The doctor says regretfully and looks towards the patient’s room. The patient on the hospital bed is pale and is wincing in severe pain.

Victor’s heart sinks as he asks, “How long does he have?”

“That depends on Mr. John himself.” The doctor says, “If he stays in the hospital and with stable spirits, at least three years. If he toils too much, then perhaps a year.”

The doctor asks again, “What news did Mr. John see that day that caused him to vomit blood that night and lose consciousness? If he continues in that manner, he may not even survive half a month.”

Victor’s expression becomes more sullen.

What other news can it be other than news concerning that woman!

“Doctor, please do your utmost.” Victor pleads, “I know that your treatment is the most effective.”

The doctor sighs, “Regardless of how good my treatment is, I still can’t treat this kind of illness. Have you found the herb that I recommended? It can cause the cells to regenerate. With the herb, Mr. John will be saved.”

Victor says after a pause, “No.”

Actually, it had been found and there was a whole patch of them. Nevertheless, John was furious that Lily helped Louis. Thereafter he got someone to destroy the entire patch of herbs which in turn destroyed his own hope.

“Oh, what a pity.” The doctor says, “Come to think of it, those herbs that cause cells to regenerate defy nature. It must be impossible for them to exist in this world.”

The doctor leaves after a short conversation.

Victor enters the patient's room.

He can’t bear to see John’s manner as if the grim reaper will claim him at any moment.

“Darling…” the man on the hospital bed is being tortured by his illness and yet he carefully and tenderly mentions a name like he is worried that he may break it.

At that moment, Victor is overcome by his anger and forcefully slaps the wall with his hand.

L-I-L-Y!

How could his talented master with an unlimited future throw himself at this woman?

At this moment, a man enters the room. He is tall and burly but he says softly to Victor, “Victor, I’ve brought the team.”

“Watch over Master John. Do not let him watch the news, or use the computer or the cell phone.” Victor instructs. John must not be agitated anymore.

The man asks, “What if Master insists?”

“What is your brain for? Can’t you think?” Victor glares at him and says sarcastically, “Do you need me to remove your brain for a wash and install it back again?”

“No, no need.” The man’s neck stiffens, “I know what to do.”

Victor leads the man out of the room and carefully instructs, “I need to make a trip overseas. Inform Violet to keep a close eye on Miss Lily. Don’t tell Master about this.”

“Victor, do you need me to send some men to keep an eye on Miss Lily?” He says with a worried look, “I can’t contact Ms. Violet and I don’t know what she is doing.”

Victor asks, “Do you need me to teach you?”

“Contact! I’ll contact her right now!” The man takes out his cell phone and hurries to make the call.

It’s really tough being a worker!

Lily stays at Daisy’s place that night. She has a very high fever and Coffey sends her to the hospital. Her fever doesn’t subside even after an injection.

Her fever lasts for three days.

The experienced doctors are shocked and several specialists rush over. They check her thoroughly and give her an injection every few hours until her arm is full of needle marks.

Eventually, Justin goes over and gives Lily an injection.

“Will my daughter be alright?” Daisy is exceedingly worried and almost sheds tears, “why doesn’t the fever subside?”

Justin checks Lily before he smiles and replies to Daisy, “The worst is over. She’ll regain consciousness tomorrow.”

Coffey listens and drives him out of the room.

“Coffey, what are you doing?” Daisy tries to stop Coffey and says, “This doctor is helping your sister. You should at least thank him.”

“What kind of doctor is he?” Coffey doesn’t care. He glares at Justin and sneers, “You know very well why my sister is in this condition!”

Justin admits, “It’s true that it’s Louis’ fault.”

He didn’t expect Lily to be so traumatized. If he didn’t come, Lily’s brain may become permanently damaged by the fever.

No matter what, it’s Louis’ fault.

“Just Louis’ fault?” Coffey emphasizes as he clenches his teeth, “My sister has never owed him anything. Why did he plot her like she’s a fool?”

“Tell President Smith that he’d better not appear in the presence of my sister or I won’t hold back! If I were to get physical, no one can prevent me from hurting him!”

Justin sighs.

How can he retort when he knows that Coffey is justified to be furious?

Justin leaves with his medical bag and meets Chloe along the corridor.

“Chloe? What are you doing here?”

“Justin.” Chloe approaches him and she seems to be in a bad mood, “Is Lily alright?”

“She’ll be fine. I’ve given her an injection.”

“That’s good.” Chloe feels the burden has been lifted off her chest, “I found out from Leigh. Louis has gone too much. Why doesn’t he tell her directly if he wanted Lily’s help?”

Justin explains his point of view, “He feels that Lily is intelligent and that’s why he let her handle that issue. He sees her potential and wants to force her to grow.”

“Then why doesn’t Louis force me?”

“Then you should ask yourself why Louis pampers you like a child.” Justin smiles, “Because you don’t attract him, he doesn’t have any interest in you.”

Chloe becomes upset when she hears that. She pouts her red lips, “I am fully capable of making money.”

“On this issue, I can only say that Louis deserved it.” Justin sounds as if he is taking joy in Louis’ failings, “Lily’s brother isn’t someone to be trifled with. He’s going to suffer.”

“I hate Louis.” Chloe is upset when she thinks of it, “He was wrong and he implicated someone else. Now even I’ve lost my boyfriend.”

Justin is startled, “When did you have a boyfriend?”

“He’s Lily’s younger brother!”

“That boy’s rather good except for his temper.” Both Justin and Louis are rather satisfied with Coffey, “Tell me about how you guys broke up.”

Chloe tells Justin the events of that day.

Then she sobs and says, “Thereafter Coffey ignored me and blocked me. I heard from Leigh that Lily is hospitalized with a high fever and that’s why I’m here to visit her.”

Justin shakes his head.

Just look at what Louis has done. He even manages to cause Chloe to lose her boyfriend.

Preposterous!

“Your ex-boyfriend is fuming in anger. He won’t talk with you if you go in.” Justin holds onto her shoulder and continues to walk out with her, “Let him take care of Lily. Let’s go home.”

Chloe sobs uncontrollably.

“How can I sleep without him? I will continue to have insomnia.” She scolds as she sobs, “Damn that Louis. How can any woman like him when he is so inhumane?”

Justin laughs heartily and says, “Previously you stuck to Louis and you were so afraid of losing him.”

“Justin!”

“Okay, no jokes. Let’s talk about serious stuff.” Justin controls himself and whispers to her, “Do you want to seek revenge against Louis? You can even reconcile with your ex-boyfriend!”

Chloe asks immediately, “How?”

Justin whispers to her the plan and raises his eyebrow and asks, “How? Can you do it?”

“I don’t like that Stella…” Chloe mumbles and then waves her hand, “Never mind, I can tolerate anything as long as I can get back at Louis!”
