Looking at the dining car, Lily is puzzled.
When did she order supper?
"Miss Lily, this is what the gentleman prepared for you." After entering the room, the waiter places the exquisite supper and two boxes of medicine on the table.
"Miss Lily, this is an externally applied ointment. You should apply it to the wound in the morning and at night. This is an internal medicine. It is brought by Mr. from country D to treat your vocal cords."
The waiter fears that Lily could not understand it, and he opens all the medicine boxes and squeezes it out in his hand to try it, telling her what is taken internally or taken externally.
Lily nods, and types ‘Thank you’ on her phone, and then sends him out.
Going back and picking up the ointment on the table, Lily thinks that only Louis knows that she is injured. So, does the waiter mean Louis?
Lily purses her lips, and feels warm in her heart.
When the waiter just comes out of the room, a tall young man comes from the corridor, wearing a leather jacket and a black stocking cap. His facial features are a bit childish, but he looks very cold.
"Wait a minute." Coffey stops in front of the waiter and asks, "What about the person who has been delivering meals the other day?"
"There's something wrong with his family. He's on leave." The waiter replies, because of Coffey's asking, a drop of sweat slides down his cheek, "The manager asks me to replace him."
The waiter is a bit scared.
In the dusk, an Asian man gave him two thousand dollars and two boxes of medicine, and asked him to send it to Lily’s room at night. The money is too tempting, so he accepted it.
"Really?" Coffee plays the black wolf-shaped lighter in his hand.
His words make the waiter very nervous.
Just when the waiter thinks whether he should tell the truth, Kay, who is at the door, pats Coffey's shoulder, and says with a smile, "Coffee, don't scare him. He’s really a waiter. I'm watching it!"
He winks at the waiter, and the waiter pushes the dining car and leaves quickly.
Coffey glances at the waiter again.
"Come on, it's really okay!" Kay couldn't bear it, "I've tried all the meals he delivers."
"Only food?"
Kay thinks for a while, and suddenly remembers, "Oh, there are two boxes of medicines. I also checked that. Don't be so alert. We are guarding against it. Nothing could happen."
"We can't relax." Coffey pats his hands away and leans against the wall, "Something just went wrong last time in front of us."
He is depressed when he thinks about it. He got straight A in all subjects in the school, and he thinks few are comparable to him, but he still didn’t expect that lady to be injured.
Coffey asks Kay, "I heard that that lady's vocal cord is hurt. Is it better?"
"No, she just talked to me by typing on her mobile phone." Kay grins, "Coffey, Miss Lily asks what your real name is. Wouldn't she like you, would she? Miss Lily is beautiful. It’s not bad to be with her!"
"It has nothing to do with me on whether she is beautiful or not." Coffey pouts. Except for his two sisters, every woman looks alike for Coffey. Even Chloe looks like a piece of pork.
"She’s really beautiful. Did you see her when you were in the pool?"
"No. I'm not interested." Coffey says lazily.
He knows that "Miss Lily" is wearing a white one-piece swimsuit, but before he can see her, Chloe called him, and Kay kept an eye on Lily, so he didn’t pay much attention.
