A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 300

Victor calls the hotel front desk and asks them to send someone upstairs to clean their room. Then he orders dinner. John tears open the envelope and takes out a few pieces of paper from it.

The envelop is torn open too big that a photo drops out from it.

John picks it up and has a glance. There’s a pretty Asian woman on the photo. She’s smiling and pursing her lips. She seems to be arm in arm with someone, but the person next to her has been cut off.

After glancing at the photo, he puts it on the tea table next to him. Then he starts to read the letter.

A few seconds later, John begins to have short breaths and his expression also changes. He looks through the second page quickly. After he reads something on it, his eye pupils shrink and his hands are shaking.

After reading the third page, his hands stop trembling and he has faint sorrow and smile on his face at the same time. His blue eyes stare at the paper but they are dimmed.

“Cough...Cough!” he coughs again after a few seconds of silence.

Then he spits out a mouthful of blood.

“Mr. John!” Victor rushes over after hearing the sound. Seeing John coughs up blood fiercely, he rushes to the bedroom and takes out pills from the medicine toolkit he has brought along.

He hurriedly gets two pills and pours a glass of warm water. Then he hands them to John.

“Take them away! I won’t have them!” John suddenly refuses it angrily, waving his hand rudely.

The pills and water glass are knocked down to the floor, startling Victor.

Victor picks up the pills and pours another glass of water. Then he hands them to John again. Gritting his teeth, he says, “Mr. John, you said you’ll give Miss Lily a gift. If you don’t take the medicine, you can’t even hold on for another three months.”

Perhaps Lily’s name has hit John. He looks up at Victor, takes over the water glass, and swallows the pills.

Victor accidentally catches a glimpse of the photo on the tea table. He sees a pretty woman, whom he seems to have seen somewhere. Somehow he can’t remember for the time being.

Looking at the letter in John’s hands, Victor guesses it’s because of the letter that John has lost control just now.

Victor wants to ask about the letter content. While he’s trying to figure out how to start the question, John stares at the photo on the tea table and asks in a low voice, “Victor, do you know who this woman is?”

Victor shakes his head. “No, I don’t. She’s pretty.”

“She’s my mother.”

“What?” Victor is taken aback. He can’t help looking at the photo for a few more times.

It’s not until then does he recall that when he enters John’s father Burnell’s study for the first time, he sees an oil painting of a woman on the right-side wall. The woman wears a wedding dress instead but she looks exactly the same as the woman in this photo.

He has been fascinated when seeing the painting. He remembers that Burnell explains to him with a gentle smile, “This is Colbert’s mother. Isn’t she beautiful?”

[Note: Colbert Krislier is another name for John Dawn.]

So it turns out to be John’s mother.

“Yes.” John smiles, but his expression is a little blank. He murmurs, “No wonder he has sent Satsuki to me. He’s known about it long ago.”

Victor doesn’t understand. He asks, “Mr. John, what do you mean?”

John doesn’t answer him. Picking up the envelope and taking a second look, he takes out another photo from it. He casts a few glances at it and his face darkens. Then he tosses the photo to Victor.

Victor catches it. When he sees the women on the photo, he’s startled.

“Isn’t this Satsuki Oguri’s mother?” he says. Looking up at John, he finds John’s face becomes livid. “Why did your father send this photo to you?”
