A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 461

He worries about her and strides towards the bed.

As he reaches out to lift the quilt, he turns the phone screen towards the ground to prevent the light from hurting her eyes.

After the quilt is thrown back, he sees Lily curling up and trembling with her head buried on the pillow. She is obviously frightened.

He whispers, "Lily, it's okay now."

A few moments after hearing his voice, Lily raises her head, slightly pale with fear.

At the sight of Louis who is standing beside the bed, she is surprised for a moment and then tentatively reaches out to grab his hand. Feeling the warmth of his palm, she can't help but throw herself into him arms, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I ... I'm so scared...." she sobs shakily. It can be seen how afraid she is. "I accidentally dropped my phone just now. And it's thundering...."

Louis' heart aches as he notices that Lily is still trembling in his arms.

He places his hand on her back and strokes her, comforting her in a soft voice, "I'm here. You're fine now."

Suddenly, there come two claps of thunder outside.

Then Lily hugs Louis more tightly.

Louis holds her for a while and asks after she stops trembling, "Do you have any earplugs?"

"There seems to be some in the drawer."

Louis shines the flashlight on the bedside table and searches the first drawer. After he finds the earplugs, he put them into Lily's ears.

In case she can't hear him, he leans closer and asks, "Are you feeling better now?"

The thunder sounds fuzzy as Lily wears the earplugs, so she is finally not that scared.

She hears Louis' question and nods, "Why do you come to me? How did you get in?"

"The power went out and it keeps thundering. Even men will be scared, let alone you." They're so close that Lily can feel his breath as he speaks. "Didn't you hear the sound of me kicking the door?"

"No."

The thunder is still ringing in her ears even though she has covered herself with the quilt.

Besides, she was affrighted by the swaying shadows of lightning on the curtains just now and kept telling herself to calm down. So how could she hear other noises?

Abruptly, Louis stands up. Lily hastily grabs his arm and asks, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find your phone." Louis hands his phone to Lily and says, "If you're scared, take my phone with you. I can look for your phone with a lighter."

Lily is relieved, "No need. I can shine the light on you."

As Louis is looking for Lily's phone, Lily shines the light on him to help him find the phone.

Although the light around her is dim, she isn't afraid at all when staring at him.

Soon, Louis finds her phone.

He tries to turn the phone on.

It works well.

"You phone is fully charged. Perhaps it's because it fell heavily on the ground that it switched off."

With the earplugs, Lily can't hear him clearly from a distance. Thus, she looks at his mouth to guess what he is talking about.

Seeing that Louis successfully turns the phone on, Lily knows that her phone is fine. Then she tenses, worrying that Louis will leave her alone since her phone isn't broken.

After Louis comes over, Lily immediately grabs his arm and softly whispers, "Don't leave. I'm scared to stay here alone."

What if her phone battery is dead and the power isn't back on before she can fall asleep?

"Alright." Louis weakens at the sight of her frightened expression and decides to stay, "I won't leave."

Lily instantly moves inside and makes room for him, "Get on the bed, so I can hold you."

Louis laughs and takes off his shoes, climbing into the bed.

Lily moves closer but only pulls his clothes with her hand, indirectly keeping some distance from him.
