Chapter 299: I’ve Made a Mistake, and I Know How to Cherish
“You can’t even get out of the damn bed. You’d better take good care of yourself.” Daniel pulls over a
chair and sits down. “I’ll stay here today. If you don’t want to see me, go to sleep. Don’t annoy me.”
Leigh is speechless.
He just wants Little Fairy to accompany him. He doesn’t want Daniel. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
On the way back to the hotel, Louis calls Lily, finding that she’s with Stella. He feels a little relieved but
his face still remains gloomy.
According to the information found by Daniel, John is staying in the same hotel as the one they’ve
checked in. Louis has figured out it must be John’s elder brother, Seles · Krislier, who has hired
someone to kill Lily.
He doesn’t know what’s on John’s mind, but Seles is an extreme person. Because of his mother’s
death and his father’s favor on John, Seles has hated John all these years. Thus he wants to kill John.
If he finds someone close to John, Seles must hate that person, too.
While analyzing quickly in his mind, Louis sends a message to David, asking him to check on John
Dawn’s elder brother.
As soon as the message has been sent, his car arrives at the hotel entrance.
He takes the elevator to the floor where John stays. Standing in front of his door, Louis looks up at the
room number and sneers. John has made an effort to choose the room to stay, which is right below
Lily’s room.
Patiently, Louis presses the doorbell twice.
Soon, with faint coughs, the door is pulled open from the inside. John appears at the door with one
hand covering his mouth, looking pale and haggard.
“Hi, Mr. Smith.” John’s eyes darken when seeing Louis at the door. Although he looks pale and his eyes
are dull, he still emanates aristocratic temperament. “What can I do for you?”
Louis answers directly, “I want to have a talk with you about my wife, Lily.”
John’s thin lips curled into a bitter and cold smile. “You haven’t got married yet. Why are you
addressing her your wife? I’ve read so much news about you but I didn’t expect the well-known Mr.
Smith is such an affectionate man.”
“We’ve met our parents and got engaged already. We just need a piece of marriage certificate,” says
Louis in a flat tone, “Mr. John, we’re not familiar with each other, so you don’t know me.”
Upon hearing his words, John frowns a bit. The air surges to his throat, making him cough heavily,
splashing few blood on his palm.
Clenching his fist, Louis hides the hand behind his back, moves aside to let Louis enter his room.
“Please come in.”
Louis doesn’t deny. He walks to the living room, noticing that the bedroom door on the right is opened.
The bedroom is clean and tidy but he hasn’t seen any luggage or suitcase.
He asks John, “Are you here alone? Where is your bodyguard?”
“I’m just out for fun. It’s unnecessary to have someone always following me.”
Louis approaches him, his eyes cold and sharp. “What kind of fun? You followed Lily all the way here.
John, do you think you are super smart? Your elder brother knows all your whereabouts.”
John’s face falls. “Why did you say that?”
“Lily was almost killed in the shopping mall this afternoon,” Louis says firmly and coldly, “My friend
found Lily’s photo from their pocket and that someone paid them a hundred million to kill her.”
“She has just started her career in the business circle, so she doesn’t have any enemy. You followed us
to the cruise and checked in the same hotel as we did after arriving Japan. Then she had such accident
in the afternoon when she went out. There’s no such coincidence, is there?”
“He even has the guts to make a move...” gritting his teeth, John mutters and tightens his fits.
Louis asks him, “I always made improvised schedule with Lily. How did you get to know it?”
John smiles. He says casually, “Mr. Smith, you should know there’s something called ‘surveillance’.
Nowadays the Internet is so advanced. If I spend money, I can get whatever I want.”
“John Dawn. Go back to your country tomorrow. Don’t force me to take action.”
“I’ll take care of it...”
“No need,” Louis interrupts his words indifferently, “He wants to kill my wife. I’ll get even with him. You
don’t need to intervene.”
However, John says, “She’s also my ex-girlfriend.”
Louis’ eyelids lower a little, his sharp eyes gazing at John. “Then you should stay farther away from
her. Why did you drag her into the fight between you and your elder brother?”
“Mr. Smith, you are so forgetful.” John coughs badly again and mocks, “Do you have any rights to
blame me for that? Wasn’t you who set her up in order to clean up your Smith Group? You pulled her
into the fight. Yes, this time I was negligent. But I’ve never made use of her.”
“I’ve made a mistake and now I know how to cherish. I won’t let it happen for the second time,” Louis
says, “I’ll protect her and never let her get hurt again.”
John laughs silently, feeling a sharp pang in his heart that almost suffocates him. “We’ve both made
mistakes and we regret them. What makes you think that you would be forgiven? Anyway, it’s just the
matter of time.”
He coughs so violently that he can hardly stand still.
Much to Louis’ surprise, John has changed a lot in the past few months that they haven’t seen each
other. He’s like a dying man. Louis couldn’t help frowning. “What’s wrong with you?”
“An old problem. Nothing.”
Louis doesn’t bother asking again.
Before leaving his room, he says to John, “I’ve told Lily about your family. She said that you did take
good care of her when she was studying abroad. I promised her to help you take over Krislier Group.
Just this time only. In the future, if she got hurt again because of you, I’ll kill you.”
Finishing his words, he leaves John’s room.
John is stunned for a few seconds. Then he coughs violently again. His knees weaken and he kneels
down on the floor. The tremendous physical pain from his body makes him grabbing the carpet tightly.
He coughs and spats a huge pool of blood on it.
If he has known that Lily would easily fall in love with someone else after he lets her go home, he
wouldn’t let go of her. He would tell her everything and let her understand his painstaking efforts.
But what can he do although he regrets?
The time cannot be turned back. Once he has missed her, it cannot be changed.
“I still have some time. That’s enough.” Looking at the blood on the carpet, John mutters bitterly, “I must
take him away before I die. I wouldn’t let him hurt Lily again.”
Shortly, his room door is swiped to open. Victor, who comes back from the outside, sees John kneeling
down on the carpet and rushes to him immediately. He helps John up to the couch and makes him sit
down, his face full of hatred and worries.
Victor says, “Mr. John, you can’t hold on. Let’s go back to the hospital.”
“I don’t like the smell in the hospital.” John turns to look at him and asks in a gloomy tone, “Did you
sneak out to contact someone and asked them to find the medicine?”
“Yes, I did,” Victor admits. “If we could get the medicine, Mr. John, you wouldn’t suffer any more.”
John slaps him and coughs, his chest heaving up and down violently. “Didn’t I tell you to leave it alone?
Why didn’t you take my words to your heart?”
Victor straightens his back, remaining silent.
John says, “I know my condition well. I don’t need that kind of medicine. If you dares to do it again, you
can just leave. Understood?”
“Mr. John...” Victor can’t understand at all.
There’s such a good opportunity to survive. Why doesn’t he want it?
Under the sharp gaze from John, he can only swallow back his questions. He hands over the document
brought back to John. “This is a letter from your father.”
Usually Victor doesn’t open John’s private letters.
