A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 307

On the fifth day, a thin layer of scab form on Leigh’s wound. He can walk and run again, and is quite energetic.

After the doctor ensures that Leigh is fine, Louis gets him discharged from the hospital.

It is New Year’s Eve the day he is discharged. Fine little snowflakes start falling since morning. A great snow seems to be waiting.

After getting back to the hotel, Leigh rushes upstairs.

When Jessie opens the door, Leigh hugs her immediately and kisses her hard for several times, “Darling, I missed you so much in these days. Why didn’t you visit me even once in the hospital?”

“Stop kissing me.’ Jessie mutters. Afraid to touch his wound, she pats his face, “Weren’t Mr. Daniel and Mr. Smith taking turns to look after you?”

“I don’t want them!” Leigh says with sadness, “I waited for you every day. But you didn’t even answer my call.” He puts her hand on his right chest, “Feel it. My heart is still hurting.”

Jessie wants to withdraw her hand, but it is tightly pressed by Leigh.

Though his shirt is standing between, Jessie’s palm can feel the pounding of his heart.

Suddenly, sorrow rises in Jessie’s heart.

She doesn’t know where the sorrow comes from. But it makes her eyes tingle. She purses her lips and doesn’t know what to say.

“Babe, what’s wrong?” Seeing her biting her lips and not saying a word, Leigh panics and hugs her, “I am kidding. I am not angry with you at all. I know you didn’t go to the hospital because you were so worried about me.”

“I am not worried about you at all.”

“Okay, okay. Then stop crying. Or everyone will think I mistreated you.”

Jessie hits him slightly and buries her head in his chest, “You did mistreat me. Why did you take the bullet for me? Couldn’t you just leave me?”

“No. You are my girlfriend, no, my fiancée.” Leigh remembers that they have been engaged a long time ago. But he is always calling her his girlfriend. How stupid.

He fondles Jessie’s hair and says seriously, “You are not only my fiancée, but also my baby. You are very, very important. As a man, if I can’t protect my baby, I will be a failure.”

Jessie feels worse now.

She hates this feeling. She hates being sentimental.

She wants to tell him something now. Jessie takes a deep breath and raises her head to look at him, “Leigh...”

Leigh raises his brows, “em?”

“I want to...” She purses her lips. Her throat is jammed by those words. She doesn’t know what to say.

Leigh lowers his head to kiss her and then says smiling, “I know. You want to celebrate Christmas with me, right? It will be the first festival that we celebrate together!”

Before Jessie can say anything, Leigh says he is starving and drags her to the diner. They sit on a table next to the window. Snow is falling outside.

Leigh keeps complaining about how awful it was to be in the hospital for five days. Only Daniel and Louis kept him company. He was about to go moldy. Jessie just listens to him.

Later, others come to join them too.

Different from Leigh, Louis and Daniel share no interest in Christmas. But now that the girls like it, they don’t mind keeping them company.

It is New Year’s Eve today, and it is bustling outside. After having dinner, Leigh proposes to go outside.

Louis looks at him, “Your wound is fine now?”

“It has been five days. It healed already!” Leigh is full of vigor and holds Jessie into his arms, “This is the first festival that I share with Jessie. We must create some beautiful memory.”

Louis doesn’t want to respond to him.

After dinner, they prepare themselves and go out together.
