A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 297

Lily nods, but still worried. “Why don’t you go to see Leigh in hospital?”

“You also need someone to accompany you.”

“I’m fine. No worries.” Lily rubs on him while holding his waist. “You should thank Leigh. He’s injured because of us. You can go with Daniel. I’m going to see Stella later.”

“OK. I will.” Louis feels warm inside his heart because of the little woman’s sensibility. Kissing her forehead, he says, “If you feel uncomfortable, do let me know, OK?”

Lily agrees with a grumble.

Stella is also worried about Leigh. After all, he has got a gunshot. She thinks the same way as Lily does - she asks Daniel to go to hospital and accompany Leigh there.

After settling both women down, Louis and Daniel go to the hospital together.

Leigh has been sent to the emergency room as soon as the ambulance arrives. He knows his physical condition and the gunshot wound very well, so he’s not panicked at all. On the contrary, Jessie has been weeping since she gets on the ambulance till they’ve arrived in the hospital.

“Why do you have so many tears to shed?” Leigh can’t help but want to wipe the tears for her, but he’s lost too much blood, so he’s too fragile to raise his hands. “I’m really fine. I won’t die.”

“Hmm.” Jessie nodded. Still weeping, she holds his hands tightly. “I’m right here waiting for you to come out.”

“Give me a kiss to keep me energetic.”

Upon hearing it, Jessie is at loss whether to laugh or cry. She leans over and kisses his lips. Then she takes a few step back, watching the sickbed be pushed into the emergency room. The door is closed.

Leaning against the wall, she stands with two hands clenching together. She can’t help trembling at all.

The scene happened in the jewelry section of the mall less than twenty minutes ago keeps flashing on her mind. She has seen how Leigh protects her regardless his own life. Even he has blocked the bullet for her, he doesn’t want her to see his wound.

That man is really stupid.

So stupid.

He’s just known her for a short time. He wants to marry her, obeys her words, and protects her heedless of his own life. Why does he never doubt about her purpose of appearing in his life?

However, such stupid behaviors have touched her deeply.

Jessie has stayed outside the emergency room for a long time before she finally calms down and her hands stop trembling. She goes to a corner, changes the sim card in her phone, and dials a phone number.

The call is soon connected.

“You risk calling me now. Anything urgent?” The man’s voice is hoarse. It seems his vocal cord has been damaged.

Jessie keeps silent for a while and says in a low voice, “I want to change my requests. Derek Lewis has done something wrong. Let him bear the consequences alone. Don’t touch his wife and son.”

“Do you want to have mercy on them?”

“I just want to revenge. I don’t want to hurt the innocent.”

“What has that man done to make your heart softened?” John says firmly, “But I won’t care about your private affairs. We’re just working with each other. Please take care of Lily for me. I’ll help you resolve your trouble.”

“John Dawn.” Jessie can’t help but ask, “You’ve spent so many efforts to hold that activity and asked me to bring Lily to it. You just want to give her a present and see her. Is it worthy?”

John smiles. “You can’t judge if it’s worthy or not when you are doing everything for the one your love. You like that man so you’ve also changed the rule of the game for him.”

“It’s different,” Jessie says, “You’ve coughed so badly. I don’t think you can hold on for three months. Why can’t you listen to the doctor and take a good rest?”

“That’s not a rest. That’s waiting for death,” John says calmly, “I don’t want to waste my time in the hospital. As long as I could see the one I love, I’ll feel satisfied if I could only live for just one day.”

Heaving a sigh, Jessie can’t understand what John is doing. “There are five sets of Ixora. It was from the research of Justin, one of Louis Smith’s best friends. Victor has got the news and I guess he’s on the way to Country D.”
