A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 202

When Lily wakes up, her head is heavy and her throat is sore and painful.

She sees that she is in the hospital patient room with Daisy knitting a sweater beside her. She uses her strength to push herself up to sit on the bed.

She says with a hoarse voice, “Mom.”

“Lily, you’re awake!” Daisy tosses aside the things in her hands and says with an expression full of worry, “You had a high fever for three days, and your brother and I were worried sick.”

“Three days?”

Daisy nods and pours a cup of water for her, “Yes. The doctors gave you several injections and none were effective in reducing your physical temperature. In the end, a doctor named Justin gave you an injection.”

“Come, drink some water.” Daisy hands the glass to Daisy and asks, “How do you feel? Is any part of you uncomfortable?”

Lily shakes her head and drinks half a glass of water.

Lily finds out from Daisy that both Daisy and Coffey remained by her side these few days to care for her. This morning, Coffey received a call and left when it appeared that there was some issue in school.

Daisy is still concerned and asks the doctor to examine Lily. She also buys some porridge for Lily.

Lily survived on glucose these few days and her stomach is empty. After the doctor confirms that she is fine, she quickly finishes the porridge and gets out of bed.

Daisy wants her to lie down, “You should stay for a couple more days, just to be sure.”

“My fever has subsided. Why should I remain here?” Lily says. After sleeping for three days, she should forget about those issues and there are more important matters for her to handle.

On the way home, Lily remembers that she had thrown away her cell phone and goes to buy a cell phone and replaces her SIM card.

A call comes through as soon as she activates the phone.

“Lily, where are you?” Jessie asks anxiously, “I called you these few days and the phone had been turned off. I went to your apartment and your neighbor said that you had moved sometime back. I was worried sick!”

Her concern for Lily warms up Lily’s heart, as she replies with a raspy voice, “I had a small cold. Come over for dinner after work, I’ll give you my new address.”

“Why wait after work? I’ll head over now. I have a lot of things to tell you.”

“Okay.”

The doorbell rings soon after Lily and Daisy arrived home.

Lily opens the door and sees Jessie bending over as she pants. She looks at the lift and asks, “I’m on the 28th floor. Don’t tell me you ran up the staircase?”

“It’s too troublesome to wait. I can get some exercise by running up the stairs!” Jessie says. She looks at Lily from top to bottom and back to the top. She almost hugs her as she says, “It’s great that you’re fine.”

Lily laughs and invites her into her apartment.

Jessie asks Lily and confirms that she is fine before saying, “Oh my lord, who would expect President Smith to give the Smith Group to his aunt!”

“As soon as Olivia took over, she replaced almost half of the senior management. Those who were on good terms with President Smith were fired. Even Leigh was fired.”

Lily is expressionless and simply acknowledges, “That’s to be expected. She wants to train her own people. Were those deputy general managers fired? How is the price of the company’s stock?”

She still remembers what Jason told her before he died.

“She fired one of them. Samson and Carmen are still around.” Jessie says as she ponders, “Samson objected to her becoming the Smith Group’s acting president. Why does she retain him?”

Looks like Carmen has strong backing. With all the personnel shuffling in the Smith Group, he remains steadfast in her position.

But why did he kill Leon?
