A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 228

“What’s wrong?” Lily panics, “It’s not that Miss Stacy was trying to suicide, right?”

“No. My dad was in a coma and was taken to the hospital.”

“I’ll go with you,” Antony Smith was quite nice to Lily, and Lily feels bad that something happened to him. She pulls Louis into the car, “Hospital of J City?”

“Yes.”

In the hospital inpatient department, Antony’s private ward is facing the road. He is peeling an orange to eat while he sees Lily and Louis coming out of a taxi. He feels a surge of happiness.

“Good job Louis, bringing Lily here,” Antony hurries back to bed and urges David, “Quickly tell the doctor to come, and say that my condition is extremely severe, that I am dying soon.”

David’s mouth twitches, “Master, is this too much, what if…”

“Don’t talk so much!” Antony is dissatisfied and says, “It’s fine if you can’t find a girlfriend yourself, but don’t get in the way of my son.”

“But you can’t lie to Miss Lily.” David adds, “Is President Smith’s case not enough?”

Antony shoots back, “Is that the same? And I’m really not feeling well. But, which side are you on, David? Are you a spy?”

“Master, that’s not what I meant…”

David wants to explain, but Antony impatiently interrupts him, “You quickly go call the doctor. No one likes you anyway. It’s a waste of breath for me to keep talking to you.”

“…”

David quietly leaves the ward, his heart in tears.

He works so hard for the Smith Group. Not only that he doesn’t get any good words, now Antony even attacks him!

This is absurd!

When Louis and Lily arrive at the ward, they see David and the doctor standing by the bedside. The doctor is examining Antony who is lying on the bed with a serious face.

“President Smith, Miss Lily,” David greets them. He looks as if he wants to say something but hesitates. In addition of seeing Antony’s state, Lily is extremely worried.

Louis’ face turns long.

When the doctor finishes examining him, he goes over and asks, “How’s my dad?”

The doctor says, “Master Smith has heart conditions, and the medicine only treats the symptoms but not the root cause…Mr. Smith, if you have time, spend it more with Master Smith.”

Louis doesn’t say anything for a while. Lily feels that the atmosphere is tense; she says to the doctor, “Thank you, I’m sure you have other work to do. We’ll stay here with Master Smith.”

The doctor nods and quickly leaves the room.

Antony on the hospital bed has opened his eyes. He looks tired and gloomy.

David feels nervous while looking at him. He has never seen someone who can act as a “patient” better than Antony.

In order for the drama to unfold, he walks over to the bedside, “Master, you’re awake. How are you feeling?”

“I feel so tired, alas, I’m old,” Antony sighs. He sees Lily and feels glad. He waves at her, “Lily, come here.”

Lily hurries over and holds his hand, “Master Smith.”

“Thank you for visiting me.”

“Because I missed you, so I came with Mr. Smith,” Lily smiles and says, “If you don’t mind me, I’ll come to visit you more often in the future, okay?”

Antony gives a wink; David silently backs away and walks over to Louis, “President Smith, Master Smith wants to talk to Lily. Let’s go out first.”

Louis doesn’t say anything. He goes out with David.

“I don’t know how much longer I’ll live, but I have so many more unfulfilled wishes,” Antony says.

Lily reassures him, “You will live a long life.”

Antony grips her hand tightly, “What happened between Louis and me is a secret that cannot be revealed. Only you and I know. I hope you can forgive Louis.”

“I’m heartbroken that Jason died, but it wasn’t Louis’ fault. And Janet still has another son who can take care of her. Louis has nothing.”

“You shouldn’t think so much right now, take care of your health first.” Lily purses her lips, “Someone will definitely take good care of Master Smith for you.”

Antony is slightly disappointed, “Lily, do you really not like Louis at all?”

Lily doesn’t say anything.

She liked him before, but she can’t let go of what happened.

“There are many women who like Louis. But whether or not two people can be together depends on fate,” Antony says, “He’s not young anymore, already in his thirties.”

He pats Lily’s hand, “It’s okay if you don’t like him, a relationship cannot be forced. I just hope that you can take care of him for me so that I can rest in peace.”

“Master Smith, don’t say that.”

“I know my health condition,” Antony takes out a ring under his pillow. It is the sapphire ring that he had given to Lily but was returned, “I still hope that you take this ring. If you know any girl that you think she’s nice, introduce her to Louis and give her this ring.”

He doesn’t force Lily to accept this ring. Instead, he gives it to her for safekeeping temporarily.

Lily doesn’t know how to reject it. She can only take it, “Alright, I’ll take it. If Mr. Smith really marries Miss Scott, I’ll give it to Miss Scott.”

After all, the older you get, the wiser you are. Antony senses something wrong in Lily’s words. He curls his lips and still pretends to be frail, “Lily, thank you.”

Outside the ward, Louis’ fingers are tapping on his slacks. He feels something is wrong.

Then, he suddenly realizes something. He glanced at David, and then says casually, “I smelled oranges in the ward just now.”

“I ate them,” David tries to find an excuse, “I was too nervous, I couldn’t stop eating.”

Louis sneers, “Oh yeah? I’ll buy ten pounds of oranges later, and I want to watch you eat them!”

He’s horrible!

David can’t hold in anymore. He confesses everything, “President Smith, I’m just a lowly worker. It’s all Master’s idea. Please pity me.”

Louis’ face turns long. He is so angry that the veins on his forehead become visible, “He was at home gardening and sunbathing every day, no worries at all. I was wondering why he would fall into a coma!”

David says timidly, “Actually, Master also has worries. He lacks a grandson to play with. If you grant him this wish, he won’t do anything foolish anymore.”

“Did I ask you to talk?”

The lowly worker David shuts up and regrets for saying that.

This is giving him such a hard time!

About half an hour later, Lily comes out of the ward. She seems a little sad, but she hides that sadness of her.

Lily says, “Master Smith is asleep.”

Louis looks into the ward. He is angry but finds it funny at the same time. Antony must have guessed that he will find out, so he pretends to be asleep, afraid that Louis will go in and question him.

“Then we’ll leave David here. I’ll take you back,” Louis asks for the car keys from David.

Lily wants to refuse, but Louis insists. Also, she doesn’t want to waste time in front of the ward, so she accepts the offer. The two of them go to the underground car park to look for the car.

When they get in the car, she doesn’t say a word. She keeps her head down, thinking about something.

Louis sees that she doesn’t look well, seems to have been bluffed by Antony. He says, “Miss Lily, no matter what my father has told you, forget about it.”

After Lily learned about Louis’ parents from Antony, she feels awkward hearing him address Antony ‘father’.
