Chapter 499: Don't Tell Her
After a while, Justin then answers in a leisure way, "When you get a girlfriend, you will know it.
However, judging from your personality, you may be single even if I get married."
"..."
When the injection is finished, Lily packs her things to leave.
She says to John, "Your leg hasn't fully recovered. How about staying longer in the hospital? The
company's new products are about to hit the market. I've got a full plate."
Lily has been staying in the hospital in the past days. During this period, the work in the company is left
to her assistant.
Though Lily knows that her assistant can take good care of the work, yet she is still worried.
"When Victor comes back, ask him to send you over." John knows that Lily won't be swayed by his
persuasion, so he just exhorts in a gentle tone, "Don't let the work take all you time. Spare more time to
rest."
Lily smiles, "Yes, I know."
Previously, when she was in work, she would spare some time to have good rests, but not for recent
days. That's because so many things occur and keep grating on her nerve. Therefore, she can't have a
good rest.
Lily frowns slightly when her belly receives several kicks.
When John sees that, an expression of nervousness flashes through his eyebrows, "What's wrong,
Lily? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine." Lily points to her belly and says with resignation, "After a few days of needling, babies
become lively again. They won't stop kicking in my belly."
John's anxiety disappears.
He raises and places his hand on Lily's belly, sensing the babies underneath.
Babies are nurtured here.
John asks Lily, "Can I have a look? You've been pregnant for so long, but I never touch them."
Lily is surprised at that moment. Her heart is softened on seeing John's craving gazes.
"Sure." She lifts the hem of her clothes.
Just now, when the doctor came to operate the injection, John looked away in purpose so that Lily
wouldn't be embarrassed.
This is the first time John has seen Lily's pregnant belly.
Without the cover of clothes, it looks quite big.
An inexpressible bitter feeling surges in him. John can't help but raise his hand to caress Lily's snow-
white stomach.
There are shallow pregnancy marks on her belly. When John sees those, he feels bad for her.
What a torture it is for a woman to labor and give birth to a child, not to mention the physical suffering!
How laborious and painful the whole process it is!
Suddenly, something is flapping under John's fingers, which startles John.
He sees Lily's bulging belly's movement. It seems that the babies are pushing and shoving in all
directions they can find in Lily's belly and they are enjoying themselves to the full.
John feels that is incredible, so he asks, "Are they playing?"
"Yes." Lily gives a grin, "Do you feel that they seem to be fighting, and the fight is quiet fierce?"
John nods and still fixes his eyes on Lily's belly.
It is unimaginable that three babies can subsist underneath a thin belly, isn't it?
He grabs Lily's hand and prints a kiss on it. His gaze is firm and gentle, "Lily, it's been hard on you. I will
definitely give you the best and give you sound protection."
Lily, the apple in his eyes, can't cry for any other men. He must keep her around himself so that he can
protect her.
Lily feels sick at heart and then gives an affirmative answer with a smile.
Suddenly, Victor pushes open the door and enters inside.
At this moment, Victor is something disconcerted, so he coughs and asks, "Mr. John, should I come
back later?"
"It's fine. You are right on time." Lily hurriedly pulls down her clothes, as her cheeks are flushed, "Take
me back."
"Ms. Lily, wait for me outside. I have something to tell Mr. John."
"OK."
After Lily leaves the ward, Victor runs to John and whispered, "Mr. John, Miss Jessie was lost."
"Didn't you arrange her accommodation?" John frowns, "How could she disappear?"
"My men did settle everything up for Miss Jessie and sent a servant to take care of her. They called me
just now and said that the servant is killed and Miss Jessie is nowhere to be found," says Victor.
On hearing Victor's words, John has already figured it out. He commands with a dour face, "How many
men did Jonathan send to Yorkshire? He managed to dig everyone up, including Lily's friends."
Victor also wears a solemn face, "I've received news that one of Jonathan's trusted aides has joined
the top echelons of management in the Smith Group. After Satsuki Oguri's death, that man sends
message to Jonathan directly. It's quite secretive."
"It's his business if he wants to mess with the Smith Group. I don't care how many his men are in the
Smith Group." John says coldly, "I'm afraid they will scheme against Lily."
It is more accurate to say that John hopes the Smith Group collapses than to say he wants to wash his
hands off this matter. John craves to see that Louis losses everything.
Clearly, he is always stronger than Louis in everything.
In the end, Louis wins him in terms of the family, career, and even the woman.
Victor understands what he should to do. He then asks, "Should I tell Ms. Lily about Miss Jessie's
missing?"
"We're getting married. It's time for you to change your address to Lily."
Is Mr. John going to marry Ms. Lily?
When Victor comes back to his senses, he changes his address immediately, "Then should I tell Mrs.
Dawn?"
John's eyebrows relax. After thinking for a while, John says, "Don't tell her now. She can't have mood
swings anymore. Send more people to look for Jessie. Country Y isn't big, Jonathan can't hide Jessie
from us."
"Fine, I'll take care of it after sending Ms. Lily back."
There is a dozen hours of jet lag between the cities on the earth's two ends.
It's twelve o'clock in the evening in Country Y.
The entertainment center is ablaze with light and is all hustling and bustling.
A few young men come out of Blacks with smiles on their faces. It seems that they just finish their
entertaining, so they come out with satisfaction.
"You've just arrived. Are you going back tomorrow?"
"I'm here for business. Now the business is finished. Of course, I have to go back." Chace replies and
takes the cigarette from one of his fellows, "I'm not like you guys. You are rich and have nothing to
worry about in life."
"Come on!"
"As we all know, you are close with Leigh. You can always scoop up lot of gains for yourself."
"That's right, you just settled a contract worthy of 500 million and now you are poor-mouthing."
"Have some decency."
In face of his companions' teasing, Chace smiles and nods, "Yes, yes, thanks to your help, I can land
this contract. When you're back in the country, I'll treat you to whatever you want!"
"Alright, we sure will keep that in mind!"
Chace waves his hand and says, "Come on, let's go. I have to go back to sleep. I have a flight to catch
tomorrow morning!"
Finally, with all his promise and kind words, his companions leave.
Chace stands smoking in a corner and waits for the driver to pick him up. All of sudden, there comes a
woman's scream, which frightens him.
He turns around and sees a few foreign men dragging a black-haired woman. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Let go of me! Help!"
The woman is delicate in figure. In front of the huge bulk of these men, she appears to be all the more
weak and helpless. She struggles with all her might to prevent those men from taking her away. Now,
she has screamed herself hoarse.
This block of Country Y isn't safe and this kind of thing is quiet common.
Chace doesn't want to cause any trouble for himself, so he looks away after a glance and continues his
smoking.
"Don't touch me!"
"Help!"
"..."
Chace hears the woman's scream, but then there ensues silence. That woman seems to pass out by
the beatings.
He turns around to check. Surely, that woman passes out and there is faint blood smear around her
mouth.
A blonde man picks her up and says something to his companion with a smile.
Perhaps it is because that woman is Chace's fellow countrywoman with the same black hair and brown
eyes. Chace curses in his heart. Then, he throws away his cigarette and strides towards them.
