Chapter 522: I am Really Soft-hearted
He only sees Lily as someone who needs to be protected and keeps her in her own comfort zone. He
never thinks of doing something to tell her that the two of them could stand together to overcome This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
whatever difficulties.
John sits there with his forehead in his hands and laughs at himself, "One false move may lose the
game. I finally know why I lose."
He would not think that much if he could turn back time and then return to the days when he just knew
Lily. Things could be different today. He and Lily might be a couple.
Someone knocks on the door of the private room.
A waiter comes in and hands the small box in his hand to Louis. "Mr. Smith, here is what do you want."
"Okay, thank you."
Louis gives the small box to John. "This is a plant I got from a village when I took Lily to Turkey. It is
said that this plant is called Ixora and could regenerate cells in human bodies. We have already
successfully developed it."
John looks at him and says in disbelief, "I remembered that Justin's laboratory exploded and all of the
samples had been destroyed. Why do you still have it?"
"We managed to keep a total of six of Ixora." Louis explains, "Five of them have been kept in the
laboratory. Justin took one with him because he wanted to do some experiments with the new
equipment."
John opens the box.
There is a capsule inside. The green liquid inside the capsule is bright, like vibrant life.
"The research is successful, but the medicine itself has side effects. It can only extend your lifespan by
30 to 35 years. I think you need it now, even if the effect is small."
"Thirty years is a gift for me." John twitches his lips. "Ordinary people could just live for sixty or seventy
years. For someone like me, it is a miracle for me to live for another thirty years."
He asks Louis, "You can exchange this medicine for all the wealth of an old rich man and expand the
Smith Group. Why do you give me this priceless treasure?"
"You also see it as a priceless treasure. Money is nothing compared to it." Louis smiles and says
seriously and gratefully, "This is a gift for you. Thank you for taking care of her so well."
John says coldly, "I'm not doing this for you. I protect her because I love her!"
Louis says, "I know, but I still need to thank you. I know she's been looking for someone to save you.
She doesn't want you to die so early, and neither do I."
Louis looks at his watch. He is worried that Lily would really be angry and not eat when he realizes that
it is so late.
He gets up from the sofa. "I need to go take a look at her. I'll have the waiter send you back later."
When Louis walks to the door, he hears John say, "When Lily woke up in the hospital, she said that she
didn't want to get pregnant. It wasn't that she didn't love the child, she was probably afraid that
Jonathan would see her as your weak spot."
"When I rushed to the hospital, she had already taken the medicine. I put my finger down her throat
and forced her to spit it out."
John endures the pain in his heart and says coldly, "Louis, you should thank me. If I hadn't gone to the
hospital to stop her, your child would be dead by now. And you would mean nothing to her."
Louis closes his eyes and says calmly, "Thank you. You are always welcomed if you want to go to the
Smith's."
The private room door is close quickly.
John looks at the green capsule in the box and laughs at himself. He has never expected that he and
Louis could be friends as they used to be hostile towards each other in the past.
He smiles bitterly, "I'm really soft-hearted..."
He loves her, and doesn't want to see her sad.
They will not end up like this if he forces Lily to follow him to Country R and prevents her from returning
to Yorkshire..

Louis asks a waiter in the clubhouse to drive for him. He is afraid that Lily has no food in her apartment
and asks the waiter to go to the kitchen in the clubhouse to grab some food for takeout.
Louis rings the doorbell as he stands outside of Lily's apartment with a bag of food after taking the
elevator upstairs.
He hears light footsteps, but nobody opens the door.
Lily probably sees him coming through the peephole and pretends to fall asleep.
"Lily, there's a light on in the living room. I can see it." Louis says, "Open the door. If you don't, I will kick
the door. And you won't be able to sleep at night if the door is broken."
A few seconds later, the door in front of him is open.
Lily looks at the bottom of the door and says unhappily, "It's impossible for you to see the light through
the door. Where do you see the light?"
"Oh, is it?" Louis raises his eyebrows, "Well, seems that you didn't sleep?"
Lily understands that she is tricked by him again and becomes so angry that she wants to close the
door, "I'm going to sleep now, okay? You can go back!"
"Why are you wearing black slippers?"
"What?" Lily looks down and is going to say that Louis is a color-blind man who couldn't tell the
difference between black and yellow.
However, to her surprise, Louis takes the opportunity to hold her in his arms when she looks down. He
picks her up with great care to make sure that she would not fall down. He also carries a bag of food as
he walks into the room and closes the door with his feet.
"Louis, you're a bad person! I'm pregnant and become a little stupid. You couldn't trick me over and
over again!" Lily gets away from him and says unhappily.
Yet, she would fall for his trick every time!
Louis ignores her angry look and carries the food to the kitchen.
When he passes by the living room, he notices that the tea table is clean and there is only a cup on it.
When he enters the kitchen, he finds out that the kitchen is even cleaner. There is some dust on the
counter. It has been a long time since she used the kitchen last time.
Louis sighs.
This woman is really angry that she even doesn't want to eat. Fortunately, he comes here.
"Louis, what are you doing?" Lily walks in the kitchen quickly, grabs the pot from him, and mocks, "You
know nothing about cooking. Get out of here before you blow up my kitchen."
"I just want to cook some noodles. I will buy you a building if I blow up your kitchen." Louis snatches the
pot back easily. "There's too much dust in the kitchen. I'll clean it up. You can go out and wait."
Lily just stands there and looks at him coldly, "This is my kitchen, why should I listen to you?"
Louis does not talk to her. Instead, he pushes her out of the kitchen slightly and puts a broom in the
middle so that the sliding door could not be open from outside.
Lily could not open the sliding door. She could do nothing but stare at the door.
Chandler yawned as he walks out of the bedroom. He sees Lily standing outside the kitchen with the
lights on inside. He asks curiously, "Lily, what are you doing? Who is in the kitchen?"
Lily snorts, "Nobody, you need to go to sleep now!"
"I'm thirsty and come out to drink some water." Chandler walks to the refrigerator and takes a bottle of
water from inside. He opens the bottle but does not intend to go back to the bedroom.
He glances at the kitchen again and asks Lily carefully, "Lily, is that Mr. John?"
"..."
Chandler says to himself, "Although Mr. John is very pitiful, Louis looks so masculine when he goes to
church for you this morning so that you don't have to get married to someone you don't love. I'm sure
Louis still has you in his heart! He could even give up his company for you!"
"You are just a child. You know nothing!" Lily slaps Chandler on the forehead.
"I'm young, but the Internet and TV teach me a lot of things." Chandler glances at her with a worried
look, "Lily, I think you become more and more stupid after getting pregnant. Will my wife be stupid
when she gets pregnant in the future?"
Lily is unable to remain calm, so she pinches his little face and says, "I am not stupid. I just happen to
have too many things on my mind and can't think clearly sometimes. Do you understand?"
"Isn't that stupid? What's the difference?" Chandler asks.
