A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 463: Why Does He Do That

Hearing this, Lily remains silent for a long time.

John gets nervous and suddenly regrets having lied to her, worrying that Lily will break down.

He wants to say something, but then he hears a repressed and subdued sobbing.

"Why didn't he ask me since he knew that I was pregnant?" Lily bursts into tears, "I really want to

believe him. I don't think he would do such a thing, but he told me that he watched the chef pour the

duck soup into the insulation bucket. If so, he definitely knew that there were blood-activating herbs in

the soup."

Lily is tortured by the thought that Louis uses such a despicable method to abort her kids.

He can just say it if he doesn't want the babies. Anyway, Lily can raise them on her own.

John purses his lips and whispers, "He hates your guts because of Chloe's accident. How will he be

kind to you? If he still loved you, he would have gotten back together with you long ago."

"Lily, think about it. He's busy with work and has many meetings. Why did he come to L City with you

and be nice to you? That's all because he knows you're pregnant...."

"Stop it, please!" Lily weeps and interrupts him. She is on the verge of collapse.

Indeed, Louis is so good to her after coming to L City.

He protected her when she vomited on the plane and was complained by other passengers. As the

flight went back due to an accident, he took her to L City by his private plane.

He would take her out for a walk and make her handmade earrings, for which he even scratched his

hands. Moreover, he would go out to buy her yogurt to prevent her from having an upset stomach when

she ate a lot.

Lily thinks that Louis is nice to her because he still has feelings for her, but she is wrong.

She keeps in mind that he kissed her gently when they were shooting in the Film and Television City.

Last night, the electricity was off, and he stayed with her for the whole night, just like her Patronus.

But now she finds that his kindness is fake. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Lily, don't cry." John knows how devastated she is at present and feels bad for her, "It's okay if he

doesn't want you. I'm here. I'll always be here for you."

Lily nods and keeps crying, "I ... I love him so much. I can't forget him ... Why did he do this? It breaks

my heart...."

"Stop crying. Otherwise, the babies will also feel sad. Where are you? Do you go out or still stay in the

homestay family? Wait for me. I'll be there tomorrow morning."

"Don't bother. The company needs you."

John says, "It doesn't matter. Victor is here. I'm worried about you and the babies. I want to be with

you."

"You don't have to come back. I'm fine." Lily's voice becomes horse after crying, "I will go back to

Yorkshire tonight. A few days later, I will go to see you."

Hearing this, John is relieved and represses his sense of guilt.

He says warmly, "Lily, it's not worth crying over that kind of thing. Promise me that you will take good

care of yourself and the babies. Go take a hot bath and sleep on time when you go back, okay?"

Lily agrees, "Okay. I'll take good care of the babies."

After hanging up, John puts on his coat and strides out. He calls Victor, "Get me a private plane. I'm

going to Country Z."

"Mr. John, there is no air route to go there. Mr. Jonathan has asked the air traffic controllers to forbid

you from flying there. It's dangerous for us to fly without permission," says Victor.

John says with a gloomy face, "Then book a plane ticket!"

"Mr. John, you can't take a ferry or plane, and neither can I," Victor lowers his voice, "Mr. Jonathan is

determined to keep you in the Country R."

"He's trying to trap me here!" John curses angrily, "Since I can't go to Country Z, he can plot against

Lily."

Victor reminds, "Mr. John, please be more patient. It's dangerous for you to go back now. If not for your

sake, then for Ms. Lily's. She definitely doesn't want anything to happen to you."

John takes a deep breath and calms down.

He says after a moment, "Jonathan has attempted to hurt Lily's kids. Tell our men in Yorkshire to

protect her. Make sure that she and the kids are safe."

"Mr. John, don't worry. I will ask them to try their best to protect Ms. Lily."

John replies, "OK."

He can do everything to keep her by his side.

...

After making an agreement with Mrs. Roth on the compensation, Louis gets the remaining duck soup

from her and sends it to a lab for analysis.

Then he goes to see the chef who made the duck soup.

He calls the chef to come over and asks, "What do you usually put in the duck soup?"

"Just some ordinary seasoning." The chef is frightened by Louis' sharp stare and asks in a trembling

voice, "I have tasted the duck soup. Is there any problem?"

Louis says indifferently, "Now show me how you cook it."

Though confused, the chef makes the soup again.

As the chef cuts the duck meat and puts seasoning into the pot, Louis watches his actions all the time.

Seeing that the chef adds many ingredients into the pot, Louis points at two of them and asks, "Are the

two kinds of ingredients necessary for the soup? Do you often use them?"

The chef replies, "Yes."

Louis runs his eyes over the chef's face and says to the manager beside him, "Bring me the purchase

records of these seasonings and show me the surveillance video of the kitchen this month."

The manager doesn't dare to ask any questions and goes out.

Louis waits quietly in the kitchen.

On cue, his subordinates come back with the test result of the duck soup.

"Mr. Smith, the items below are all blood-activating herbs."

Louis scans the test result and doesn't say anything.

When the manager comes back, Louis first checks the purchase records and finds that the restaurant

doesn't buy the two kinds of ingredients frequently.

From the surveillance footage, it can be seen that the cooks don't often use these ingredients when

making duck soup.

Louis asks the chef gloomily, "I find that you seldom use these kinds of ingredients when making soup.

The last time you used them was two weeks ago. Why did you put them in the duck soup yesterday

afternoon?"

The chef stutters, "Because ... because the boss asks us not to use these ingredients if not necessary.

He says that these ingredients are very expensive. Duck soup is cheap, so he usually doesn't allow us

to use these ingredients."

The manager adds, "These ingredients are used to make the soup or dishes taste better. Only when

we serve distinguished guests will we ask the cooks to put them into the soup or dishes."

Few people know that Mrs. Roth went to the third floor to kick up a fuss over Willow's miscarriage this

morning.

"Our boss told me that you were honored guests. I heard that you ordered duck soup, so I asked the

chef to put these ingredients into the soup."

The manager flicks Louis a nervous glance, "Mr. Smith, is there any problem with the duck soup?"

Louis can't find anything wrong with the statements of the chef and the manager.

He stares at them, only to find that they're not panicky but just a little frightened with their heads down.

It seems that this is just an accident and has nothing to do with them.

Louis stops the investigation because he knows he won't find anything in the end.
