A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 404

John reached out and touched her cheek. His eyes were gentle, "No matter what you do, I respect you. Besides, you are nominally the Ms. Lily of Krislier Manor. Do you need me to pay you?"

Lily knows he is right, then she says, "I'm working for you, not for nothing! If your father gives me any jewelry, I won't return it. I can take it back to cash sooner or later."

John smiles gently and says, "Alright."

After meal, Lily walks around the hospital with John, and then they go to the mall. Lily buys some loose and comfortable clothes.

By the time they return to the manor, it is already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

After entering the room, John does not see Burnell's usual shoes and asks the servant, "Is Mr. Burnell in the study?"

"Mr. Burnell called this afternoon, saying that he wouldn't come back." The servant lowers his head and replies, "He said that he would accompany Mr. Jonathan in the hospital these few days and let you and Ms. Lily take charge of the manor."

John says, "I know."

"Do you and Ms. Lily need a meal? There are some Chinese cuisines in the kitchen tonight. There are sauce bones."

Lily has some before she comes back, and after hearing the servant say that, she is hungry again, "Yes. And, have the kitchen make two more meals that Mr. Burnell and Mr. Jonathan like to eat, and send the meals to the hospital."

"Yes."

After the servant leaves, John looks at her belly and says, "You ate two hamburgers, four drumsticks, and mushroom soup two hours ago. Are you hungry again?"

"It's not that I'm hungry. They're hungry." Lily smiles embarrassedly and whispers, "Three mouths!"

John is speechless.

While waiting for dinner, Lily and John go to the living room to take their seats.

Lily peels the watery grapes and puts them into her mouth, whispering to John, who is sitting beside her, "Jonathan lost his right arm, but he got a bargain."

"Look at your worried father. He won't come back at night from the hospital. If Jonathan wakes up, he'll pretend to be pitiful. So he'll probably get a lot of benefits from your father."

John smiles and says, "It's fine. You say that my father loves me the most. For what Jonathan has, even if I don't have it, he will secretly replenish me in the future. Besides, I can also pretend to be pitiful."

Lily sighs, "I'm most worried about Coffey now."

Not to mention Jonathan, when Burnell saw that his son is injured like this, he will definitely pursue the matter to the end.

"Don't you know how smart your brother is?" John comforts her, "I will let Victor continue to search."

"Yes." Lily nods, as if comforting herself, "He must have planned everything. Maybe he will get on the plane and return home in a few days."

She takes an orange from the fruit plate and gives it to John. "My fingernails are short. Help me peel them."

" ... You have eaten a plate of grapes." John has to remind her, "Still eating oranges? Will you be able to eat dinner later?"

"Yes, I will. I'm not full now."

"..."

Knowing that she is pregnant with triplets, Lily becomes even more cautious. On the one hand, she has to be on guard against servants, afraid that they will discover it.

Burnell has been taking care of Jonathan in the hospital these past few days. Many servants in the manor are on holiday, so she takes the opportunity to bask in the sun with John in the garden and walk around.

One day when they go to the garden, Lily notices that there are branches and leaves growing in the garden, but none of them bloom.

She asks John curiously, "What is this? Why hasn't it bloomed yet?"

John gives her a meaningful look. "You planted it, but don't you recognize it?"
