Chapter 297: I Don’t Want to Live On
Lily nods, but still worried. “Why don’t you go to see Leigh in hospital?”
“You also need someone to accompany you.”
“I’m fine. No worries.” Lily rubs on him while holding his waist. “You should thank Leigh. He’s injured
because of us. You can go with Daniel. I’m going to see Stella later.”
“OK. I will.” Louis feels warm inside his heart because of the little woman’s sensibility. Kissing her
forehead, he says, “If you feel uncomfortable, do let me know, OK?”
Lily agrees with a grumble.
Stella is also worried about Leigh. After all, he has got a gunshot. She thinks the same way as Lily
does - she asks Daniel to go to hospital and accompany Leigh there.
After settling both women down, Louis and Daniel go to the hospital together.
Leigh has been sent to the emergency room as soon as the ambulance arrives. He knows his physical This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
condition and the gunshot wound very well, so he’s not panicked at all. On the contrary, Jessie has
been weeping since she gets on the ambulance till they’ve arrived in the hospital.
“Why do you have so many tears to shed?” Leigh can’t help but want to wipe the tears for her, but he’s
lost too much blood, so he’s too fragile to raise his hands. “I’m really fine. I won’t die.”
“Hmm.” Jessie nodded. Still weeping, she holds his hands tightly. “I’m right here waiting for you to
come out.”
“Give me a kiss to keep me energetic.”
Upon hearing it, Jessie is at loss whether to laugh or cry. She leans over and kisses his lips. Then she
takes a few step back, watching the sickbed be pushed into the emergency room. The door is closed.
Leaning against the wall, she stands with two hands clenching together. She can’t help trembling at all.
The scene happened in the jewelry section of the mall less than twenty minutes ago keeps flashing on
her mind. She has seen how Leigh protects her regardless his own life. Even he has blocked the bullet
for her, he doesn’t want her to see his wound.
That man is really stupid.
So stupid.
He’s just known her for a short time. He wants to marry her, obeys her words, and protects her
heedless of his own life. Why does he never doubt about her purpose of appearing in his life?
However, such stupid behaviors have touched her deeply.
Jessie has stayed outside the emergency room for a long time before she finally calms down and her
hands stop trembling. She goes to a corner, changes the sim card in her phone, and dials a phone
number.
The call is soon connected.
“You risk calling me now. Anything urgent?” The man’s voice is hoarse. It seems his vocal cord has
been damaged.
Jessie keeps silent for a while and says in a low voice, “I want to change my requests. Derek Lewis has
done something wrong. Let him bear the consequences alone. Don’t touch his wife and son.”
“Do you want to have mercy on them?”
“I just want to revenge. I don’t want to hurt the innocent.”
“What has that man done to make your heart softened?” John says firmly, “But I won’t care about your
private affairs. We’re just working with each other. Please take care of Lily for me. I’ll help you resolve
your trouble.”
“John Dawn.” Jessie can’t help but ask, “You’ve spent so many efforts to hold that activity and asked
me to bring Lily to it. You just want to give her a present and see her. Is it worthy?”
John smiles. “You can’t judge if it’s worthy or not when you are doing everything for the one your love.
You like that man so you’ve also changed the rule of the game for him.”
“It’s different,” Jessie says, “You’ve coughed so badly. I don’t think you can hold on for three months.
Why can’t you listen to the doctor and take a good rest?”
“That’s not a rest. That’s waiting for death,” John says calmly, “I don’t want to waste my time in the
hospital. As long as I could see the one I love, I’ll feel satisfied if I could only live for just one day.”
Heaving a sigh, Jessie can’t understand what John is doing. “There are five sets of Ixora. It was from
the research of Justin, one of Louis Smith’s best friends. Victor has got the news and I guess he’s on
the way to Country D.”
“I didn’t ask him to go there,” John says carelessly, “That thing is still in the experimental phase. Even if
he goes there, it’s a waste of time. I don’t plan to live on, anyway. Three months are enough.”
Jessie doesn’t speak again.
Just because of loving someone, he can sacrifice everything for her. Is it worth?
John breaks the silence. He speaks again, “I’ve ordered my men to deal with Derek Lewis’ matter. As
for that Benjamin Hawk, do you need my help?”
“No, thanks. Don’t bother. I’ve owed you too much,” Jessie refuses.
She has checked Leigh’s cell phone last night. When she sees what he’s done, she realizes that it
doesn’t need John to take care of it at all.
“All right. How’s Lily doing?”
“She...” Jessie wants to tell him what’s happened in the mall earlier, but she vaguely hears footsteps
approaching. She takes a glance outside the corner and finds Louis coming over with Daniel. She
immediately hangs up the phone.
After deleting the call log and changing the sim card quickly, she puts away her cell phone before going
out from the corner.
Louis casts a glance at her and asks, “How long has the surgery been?”
“Less than twenty minutes,” Jessie answers, “You may go back. I’ll stay here.”
“Upon the relationship, Louis and I should be here instead,” Daniel says in a cold tone, his eyes sharp
and darkened. “Jessie, we are not fools. It doesn’t need us to make everything clear.”
Jessie’s eye pupils shrink and she staggers. Pretending to be calm, she keeps silent.
Daniel has read all her micro-expressions. He adds in a colder and harsher tone, “You can do whatever
to revenge. Nobody would stop you. But leave Leigh alone. Leave as soon as your aim is achieved.”
She smiles. “When did you find out?”
“Since the first time you met Leigh,” Louis says indifferently, “You are good at acting. You know what
kind of girl Leigh likes, so you’ve changed your personality and appearance according to his taste.
Every time you got angry, you knew how to behave properly. Tell us the truth. Did you plan the video
leak event, making Leigh pity you?”
“No, I didn’t,” Jessie firmly denies, her eyes blinking. “That kind of video also does harm to me. I don’t
need to ruin myself in order to get his pity.”
Louis certainly doesn’t buy it. “Is there anything you can’t do?”
Pursing her lips, Jessie says with a cold look, “I know what I’m doing. I won’t hurt the innocent. This
time I owe him a favor.”
Louis says, “I hope you can do what you said. I care about my beloved ones. If what you do beyond my
rock bottom, I wouldn’t have mercy on you just because you’re a woman.”
The atmosphere between them three becomes stiffened.
At this time, the red light that has been on for a long while goes out. The emergency room door is
pushed open from the inside.
Leigh is lying on the sickbed, and his chest and shoulders are wrapped with bandage. Except that he
looks a little pale, he’s on high-spirit. When he sees Louis and Daniel, he mumbles, “I told you I’m fine.
Why are you guys here?”
Louis squints at him and sneers. “I’m afraid you’ll die during the surgery. I want to collect your corpse
for you.”
“Louis, don’t be so mean. You cursed me,” Leigh hums. He wants to pull Jessie’s hand and bitches
about it to her. Daniel steps in front of Jessie to stop him with a gloomy face.
“She’s tired. She needs to go back for a rest.”
Daniel winks at the nurses aside, who immediately push Leigh’s sickbed to the ward.
“But I’m injured. I want Little Fairy to accompany me. Hey! Hey! Daniel, don’t hide my Little Fairy...”
Leigh’s weakened complaints recede as he’s pushed farther and farther.
Louis follows them.
Daniel steps aside, turns around, and says to Jessie in an indifferent ton, “We’ll take care of Leigh. You
can go back to the hotel.”
