A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 289: He’s in Bad Condition

“I’m really reluctant to accept this…” His voice carries helplessness and despair. He looks at the

woman obsessively, wishing so much to rush towards her and pulls her into his arms.

But he can’t. Neither is he qualified to do so.

He coughs more violently and bends down. The light yellow handkerchief has been dyed by the red

blood, which is quite horrifying.

John feels dizzy and finally falls down onto the ground.

Victor comes in at the moment. Seeing that John is on the ground, he rushes over and supports him

up. The blood-soaked handkerchief slides down from his hand and falls down to the ground.

After the romantic scene, the guests gradually leave the ball room. Lily and her companions also leave.

The cleaner walks past Lily pushing forward the small rubbish collector. There is little rubbish in the

collector, which includes a blood-soaked handkerchief that is entangled with the colorful ribbons. Lily

frowns.

Did someone get hurt when he/she is dancing?

As she’s wondering about this, she walks past the corridor and sees several men walking in a hurry

with medical kits at their hands. A waiter in uniform tells them that a guest blacked out just now and

he’s now in an extremely bad condition.

Jessie suddenly stops and turns to look at those doctors who are carrying medical kits.

Lily asks, “What’s wrong?”

“Oh, nothing.” Jessie quickly pulls herself back and sticks out her tongue, “Just now I heard from the

waiter that a guest had passed out. I wonder whether these doctors will be helpful.”

“I guess there might be no problem.” Lily smiles, “If these doctors can’t help that guest, the manager of

the cruise will definitely contact the doctors outside. After all, the safety of guests is their major

concern.”

Jessie glances at her with complicated emotions in her eyes, “Yeah.”

She has no idea about John’s physical condition.

Jessie returns to her own room, washes her hair and takes a bath. She wants to ask Victor, but fears

that this would expose their whereabouts. In the end, she puts down the phone fretfully.

Just as she walks out of the bathroom, the doorbell rings.

As soon as the door is opened, she’s greeted with Leigh’s flattery smile, “Honey, you just took a bath.

You smell good!”

“Why are you here?”

Leigh pretends to be pitiful, “I have achluophobia and can’t sleep alone.”

“You can sleep with lights on.” When Jessie intends to close the door, she finds it being impeded by his

foot and gets pissed off, “Leigh Lewis, move your foot away!”

“Honey, I want to sleep with you.”

“I haven’t forgiven you yet!” Every time when Jessie thinks of the photos in his phone, she feels

disgusted and unhappy.

Leigh remains still. Jessie forces the door closed and pushes him out of the door.

Leigh suddenly screams miserably, “Ouch, it hurts so much. Honey, my leg is broken.”

“It’s a lie again, right?” Jessie mutters. But when seeing him wrinkling his face in pain as if his foot

really has been hurt by the door slamming, she hastily asks, “It…It’s really hit? Does it hurt?”

Leigh takes the chance to grab her hand, pulls her into the house, and swiftly closes the door.

He kisses her and grins, “It doesn’t hurt now.”

“Leigh Lewis, you’re ruining my good impression on you!” Jessie punches him on the chest, pushes

him away, and then walks towards the bedroom. The cheeky Leigh follows.

He plays up to her, “Little Fairy, don’t get angry with me. I was wrong. I’ve corrected it and set up my

mind. I will not make such a mistake again. Except for you, I will not glance at other beauties.”

“Dogs can’t change the fact that they eat feces! You won’t change!”

“This metaphor is way too…” Leigh’s mouth corners twitch, “I just thought they were pretty and

unconsciously saved those photos. I didn’t intend to flirt with them.”

Jessie glares at him and says with rage, “Did you mean that I’m not pretty enough? Are my photos Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

ineligible to be stored in your photo gallery?”

“I didn’t mean…”

“You did!” Jessie scolds him with arms akimbo, “Fuck you. There are more than 100 photos in your

phone. They’re all photos of famous European, American or Chinese models. But there’s none of my

photo! Yet you said you have no prejudice towards me?”

“What the fuck! You even labeled those famous models. Long legs, hobbies, something like that. Oh

Jesus, your intention is so obvious! You said you don’t want to date them? Who would believe this?”

Leigh swears, “If I really have such an intention, I will be struck by lightning and split into two halves!”

“You should have died of being struck by lightning!”

“Honey, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time.” Leigh holds up her hand and kisses it again and

again, “I promise, this will not happen again. I love you. I love you so much.”

Jessie withdraws her hand with great force and points at a corner, “Kneel down in the corner.”

Leigh tries to change her mind, “Honey, oh, please, I have my dignity. Men will not kneel down easily.

Can you please not punish me in this way?”

“You want me, or your dignity?”

Leigh doesn’t want to sleep in the cold bed alone at all. After all, only Little Fairy would see it if he

kneels down. With such a consideration, he kneels down in a corner.

Jessie hums and pounces onto the bed, “Kneel down for half an hour.”

“Honey, less time, please.” Leigh looks at her with a pitiful look, “If my knees are hurt, I will not be able

to exert any force when we sleep together.”

“You tell dirty joke again!” Jessie picks up a pillow and throws it towards him, her cheeks flushed,

“Shameless!”

“I didn’t tell a dirty joke. It was you who were thinking wildly.”

Jessie throws another pillow towards him.

Leigh makes the best use of the two pillows by putting them under his knees. He feels more

comfortable now.

The screen of his phone lights up at this moment.

It’s a video call from Justin.

“What are you doing?” As soon as the video call is connected, Justin immediately finds out that there’s

something wrong with Leigh’s posture from the weird visual angle, “Did you quarrel with Jessie, and

she punished you to kneel down on the keyboard?”

“Nonsense. My darling would not be that cruel to me.” Leigh lies with a straight face, “The reason why I

kneel down is to build up my body.”

Justin mocks at him, “Taking the punishment of kneeling down on the keyboard as physical excise. You

help me broaden my view today.”

“If there’s no other matter, I will hang up.”

Justin gets down to business, “Louis’ phone is powered off. When you meet him, please tell him that

the second stage of the research and development of Ixora is progressing smoothly. But we’re now in

short of funds.”

“Oh, so you want money.” Leigh understands it, “But what’s the use of researching that thing? There’re

only five plants. If the experiments on them are all failed, several hundred millions will be gone without

any return.”

“It’s really tiresome to have men like you as my buddy.” Justin sighs, “I must have been blinded back

then. Not only me. I think Daniel and Louis must have also been blinded.”

“Fuck! Justin, it’s a personal abuse. You’ve gone too far.” Leigh feels discontented, “Without my help,

how did you get the research funds that are worthy of several hundred millions? Did they come from

thin air?”

“Let’s stop here. Remember to deliver my words to Louis.”

Justin ends the call after finishing the phone. It is as if he despises Leigh so much. Leigh is pissed off.

Jessie asks, “What’s the matter?”

“Justin despises me!” Leigh says indignantly, “I was telling the truth. That kind of plant is said to be able

to regenerate cells. But only five plants are saved. If these are all used, yet the research still fails, all

the funds invested would be gone without any return. It would be better if he uses the funds to research

anti-cancer drugs, which will generate great profits in its later stage.”

Jessie concentrates on it when hearing the words ‘regenerate cells’.

She asks casually, pretending that she’s asking a simple question, “The medical circle has researched

this for nearly a century, yet they haven’t found any medicine that can regenerate cells. Is there such

kind of plant? It’s impossible, I guess.”

“Yeah, Louis found it.” Jessie is Leigh’s girlfriend after all, so he doesn’t hide this from her and tells her

about Louis taking Lily to Turkey to find Ixora.

Originally, they could airlift all those plants on that land back to the country so that they would have

enough samples for research. Nevertheless, there was an accident and that piece of land was ruined

by a bomb. In the end, only five plants were saved and sent back to China.

Justin’s team’s R&D on Ixora has reached the second stage. And the research has been successful up

to present.
