The experiment of Ixora has succeeded and John can benefit from it. He will be healthy soon.
However, the hope of is destroyed by the sudden explosion.
John walks over and notices Lily trembling. He takes off his coat and puts it on her. He says, "Have you forgotten that you are pregnant now? Don't catch a cold."
Lily looks up at him and tears flow out of her eyes. "John, it's gone.... What should we do? Lxora has been destroyed. Why is this happening now when the experiment has already succeeded?"
John uses his thumb to wipe away her tears. "It doesn't matter. Lily, we can do nothing in front of natural and man-made calamities. Perhaps God doesn't want me to live too long. I'm already very satisfied."
"But I don't want you to die. I want you to live." Lily grabs his clothes and cries hard. "We've waited so long that we almost got there. I can't accept this!"
All her efforts are to get Ixora, but it's gone.
Bruce sighs.
He hasn't expected this to happen. They have lost that pile of information and a researcher has died, which is a huge loss to them.
Justin still has an Ixora, but they haven't heard anything for a long time. Maybe the research has already failed.
John takes Lily back to his residence and cooks some dishes that she likes.
However, due to the explosion in the laboratory and the message, Lily has always been depressed and has no appetite.
John puts some food on Lily's bowl and pushes the bowl to her. "The doctor says that if I'm in a good mood, I can still live for a few more months. For the sake of the child, you need to eat some."
He pushes the bowl closer to her, "Come on. Don't make me too worried."
Thinking of the baby, Lily gathers her strength and eats a little, but because of the pregnancy, she quickly throws up again.
John pats her back and hands over warm water. When Lily feels better, he goes to cook noodles.
Lily sits in the sofa. Just as she is about to tell him that there's no need to cook noodles, her phone rings.
An unfamiliar phone number from the country Y.
Lily guesses who it is. Her gaze darkens and she answers the phone.
"Why does Miss Lily keep quiet? It's been so long since we've contacted each other. Don't you miss me as an old friend?" Jonathan smiles and says, "I miss Miss Lily all the time."
Lily says calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just want to ask if Miss Lily likes my gift."
"What gift?" Lily is a little nervous. She pinches her thigh to keep calm.
Jonathan says, "That message."
Lily is about to blow up and all the blood in her body floods into her brain. She grits her teeth and says, "It's you! Why are you hurting innocent people? If your goal is me, then just do it."
"She is not innocent. She is Mr. Smith's sister and your sister-in-law." Jonathan says leisurely, "I am a gentleman. I've sent her two people who like her very much. Besides, I didn't plan to shoot the video. It was Ellison who said that he wanted to show the video to Mr. Smith. It has nothing to do with me."
Lily says coldly, "Jonathan, you're a scumbag! Do you think you can be safe and sound at home if you hurt Mr. Smith's sister? He won't let you off!"
"I know. I lost hundreds of millions because of Mr. Smith before." Jonathan smiles. "So what? I don't lack money. Besides, Europe is my world. He can't restrict me. John has lost the right to inherit Krislier, and my greatest threat is gone."
"By the way," he says after a pause, deliberately. "My men accidentally blew up a villa in Country F. I've heard that the medicine you need is in there."
