A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 365: Lab on Fire. Hope Is Gone

She opens her mouth to ask. "Why did I faint?"

John feels sorry for her when he finds her voice is hoarse. He helps her up and pours warm water for

her. "The doctor said you were under great pressure and didn't rest well. That's why you fainted."

"Give it to me." After sitting down, Lily takes the cup from his hand and lowers her head to drink a few

mouthfuls.

John clenches his fist but his face is still calm.

"What time is it now?"

When Lily has drunk most of the water, John takes the cup and asks her, "You slept all day. Are you not

feeling well? Should I get the nurse over here?"

Lily shakes her head and looks at him. "Your wounds..."

"Not fatal. I'm okay." John moves his body to prove that. He said with a warm smile, "After scabs form

to protect the wounds, I'll be discharged from hospital."

Thinking about what happened in the hotel and that man's cold look, Lily feels hurt.

"I'm sorry," she whispers an apology.

John holds her hand and replies, "Don't say sorry. I'm glad those two shots hit me. But if you were

injured, I would definitely go crazy."

Back then, when he sent the edited video to Louis, he only wanted to get between Louis and Lily and

keep Lily with him. He did not expect Jonathan to do that, nor did he expect Louis to be so ruthless.

John rejoices that Lily protected him at that time and that he was quick on his feet.

If Lily was injured, he would surely fight to the death with Louis.

As John recalls, he is still worried. He holds Lily's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Lily, he shot

you. He wanted to kill you. A man like him doesn't deserve your love."

"He should. He hates me." Lily closes her eyes and continues, "Without his and Coffey's knowledge,

Chloe came to Country F to see me. I didn't keep an eye on her so that she was taken away."

"Who took her away?"

Lily shook her head, her teeth clenched. "I saw Tokuo and Ellison in the video ... These two damn jerks!

I'm going to kill them!"

Perhaps Little Fairy wanted to tell her about that so she called her frequently. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

But she didn't answer those calls.

"I'm too stupid. I should have guessed she would be worried and come over. I should have told Coffey."

Lily buries her face in John's arms and chokes, "I'm not a good sister."

It pains John to hear it. "Lily, it's not your fault. It was because of my illness that you came to Country F.

It's my fault, isn't it? You're pregnant. Don't be upset." He comforts in a soft voice.

"What?" Lily looks up at him, her face full of shock. "I ... I'm pregnant?"

"Yes. The doctor said you have twins, but their condition is not stable." John hides his sadness. "The

doctor ordered you to take the medicine to prevent a miscarriage and keep yourself in a good mood."

Lily touches her flat belly and finds it hard to believe that a little life is growing inside it.

A few months ago, she planned to start a family after Louis came back from his business trip, but it

didn't come true. She's really surprised that she is pregnant now.

Did she get pregnant when she was in Country R?

However, these two children didn't come at the right time.

After a few seconds of joy, Lily finds her heart heavy.

One of the reasons is John's illness, and the other is that she and Louis have already broken up, and

she can't raise the children alone.

Seeing her grave face, John somehow has a surge of excitement.

He asks, "Lily, you don't want the babies?"

Lily touches her belly and whispers, "Twins.... How difficult it is to have twins.... Let me think about it."

Actually, she wants them.

John nods, "Whether you want them or not, you need to keep yourself in a happy mood. Forget those.

Remember to have more for your own sake at dinnertime."

Lily nods.

Every day, the nurse will give Lily some medicine for preventing a miscarriage, and Lily will take them.

Sometimes, Lily sees a nurse pushing a cart to change John's dressing. The two gunshot wounds in

his shoulder makes her feel really guilty.

Although John was seriously injured, he is like a healer and comforts Lily every day. He confiscates her

phone, saying that he will give it back to her after she gets better.

After about a week, John's wounds are scarred and he's in good mental condition. Lily has rested well

these past few days so she looks a lot better now.

The doctor arranges another color ultrasonic diagnosis for Lily.

Lying on the bed, Lily looks at the screen as the doctor points at two dots and tells her that they are

fetal sacs. She can also see the embryo and feel the fetal beating heart. Her eyes grow tender.

John waits outside the ultrasound room for a long time. When Lily comes out, he immediately goes to

support her.

Lily doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not delicate. I can walk. You don't need to help me."

John steps backward. "OK. I'll follow you."

They get on a taxi, about to go back to their residence.

As soon as Lily gets her phone, she cannot wait to send a message to Bruce, eager to know the

progress of the drugs. However, after a long time, she still doesn't get a reply from Bruce, who usually

replies to her message in a second.

Lily guesses Bruce is busy now. "Please go to Becker Road," Lily says to the taxi driver.

John asks, "The laboratory?"

"Yes. Bruce hasn't reply to my message," Lily replies. "Let's go take a look. It's not far from where we

live."

"Just do whatever you want."

Lily bites her lip and then she calls Coffey but she can't get through.

At the thought of the nightmare-like MMS she received that day, she feel sad and her eyes become

moist.

It was all her fault. Now she cannot face Coffey again.

She wants to call Jessie to ask about the situation, but as the taxi arrives at Becker Road, she hears

the driver say something about a big fire. She looks out of the window in surprise.

The villa in front of her is covered with smoke, and flames can be seen from outside. Some people are

watching on the street, and some are fighting the fire with water with fire hydrants. However, the fires

rage on.

Isn't this Justin's lab?

Lily has come here a few times and is very familiar with this place. When she sees the villa on fire, she

immediately pushes open the door and gets out of the car, staggering over there.

Just as she is about to charge into the villa, her arm is grabbed by someone.

"Miss Lily, the fire is so big. You wanna go in and die?" The one grabbing her arm is Bruce. His blonde

hair has been burned quite a bit, and he looked a real mess.

"You are okay? Great!" Lily clutches his clothes and asks worriedly, "Where's the rest?"

Bruce answers, "We were just having lunch when the villa caught fire. We ran out, but a colleague was

still in the lab. He died."

Bruce pauses for a moment and continues, "The explosion was caused in the laboratory. The

instruments, as well as the drugs being developed, have been all destroyed."

"All destroyed?" Lily clutches Bruce's clothes tightly with her eyes wide open. "What about Ixora?"

"The experiment succeeded." It pains Bruce to continue. "I wanted to call you this afternoon and ask

you to take it, but I didn't expect this to happen. I'm sorry."

Lily's hands are trembling. She can't accept this fact.
