The man says coldly, "You dare to do such a thing. You want to go to prison, don't you?"
"Mr. Smith, we have no choice!" Doctor A says, "That man gets the goods on us. He threatens us that if we don't do it for him, we can't stay in the hospital."
Doctor B also crawls over and pleads, "Mr. Smith, please forgive us. If we know that this young lady is your friend, we will not dare to do so."
Louis sneers, "Do you mean that you dare to do it if it is someone else?"
"That's not what we meant."
"Leigh." Louis doesn't want to listen to their nonsense. He says to Leigh, who is guarding the entrance, "Send these two to the police station."
Leigh smiles and says, "Alright, I'll do it right now!"
The two doctors still want to beg for mercy, but Leigh just throws them out.
Louis takes off his jacket and drapes it over Lily, his face filled with nervousness, "Are you alright?"
"It's fine." Lily shakes her head. She thinks of what happened last time and apologizes again, "I don't do it on purpose. I just don't know what happened to that child, so...."
The man kisses her earnestly.
After a while, Louis releases his grip. He rubs her tender lips with his thumb and says hoarsely, "I know."
"You know it and you don't reply my message." Lily is angry because he has not replied. She has not eaten well these past few days and has not slept well. "I think you did it on purpose!"
"Mr. Alfred told me that you have a lot of things to do, so I'm afraid I'll disturb you."
Lily chuckles, "Thank you so much!"
Louis leans over, his dark eyes revealing a bit of seriousness. "Miss Lily, I'm attracted to you. Will you become my valentine?"
Lily is shocked and stares at his face, not knowing how to answer.
What does he say?
Is there something wrong with her hearing ability? It must be!
Louis says to himself, "To be honest, in the past, every time I saw you, I was very annoyed. Why am I attracted by you? There are so many sparkling spots on you. Later on, I discover that you are smart and beautiful. You have your own principles. And then, I start to love you somehow."
"I can stand eating all kinds of pork dishes you make. I can stand you messing up my car. I escape from the wedding because of you and even accept the long-haired pets because of you."
He says a lot. However, seeing that Lily is still like that, he pinches her cheek hard and says, "Lily, do you know what I mean?"
Lily stutters, "You, you talk a lot, and I'm not used to it."
Louis chuckles and says, "I have a crush on you. Do you want to date me?"
I'm attracted to you.
She has waited for this sentence for a long time, and even wants to say it to him first. Because of nervousness, she gives up the idea.
There is no denying that her heart is beating violently because of this sentence, and she really wants to agree.
But--
"I'm sorry," Lily whispers. She still can't let go of what he did before. "I have a lot of things to deal with. Let's talk about this later. Mr. Smith, you're so outstanding...."
"Alright!" Louis interrupts her and says, "I will wait until you have dealt with the matter."
Lily nods.
Louis is worried. He calls the doctor to help Lily examine her body. After confirming that she is fine, he takes her away. He also tells her that Coffey has called him.
Lily is puzzled. Doesn't Coffey feel unhappy with Louis? Why does he call Louis when something happens to her though he can choose another one?
