Chapter 328: I Am the One Who Meet You First
"I live for myself..." he murmurs in a sad and desolate tone, "But I, I have nothing left. It's all illusory."
Father's words are fake, those letters are forged, and mother's tenderness is fabricated.
Those illusions that lived with him for more than twenty years are the light that supports him to live,
they are his courage, but now, there is nothing left. He stands alone in the darkness.
No one needs him anymore.
"No, you still have me." His tone makes Lily's heart bitter. "I am real, I will always be by your side, touch
me if you don't believe."
She holds his hand and places it on her face. His cold hand almost makes her cry.
John's shoulders finally soften and he turns around.
Lily looks at him under faint light and sees that his blue eyes are no longer vigorous.
Her hand that is holding the man trembles. She opens her mouth a few times before saying, "John,
don't be like this. Say something, anything is fine. Don't be like this..."
She is afraid of him being like this.
He is young, and he should be energetic and ambitious. He shouldn't be decadent.
It is still raining heavily outside, and the raindrops slam against the windows, creating a rhythmic
sound. The humid and cold air enters the attic through the half-open door.
John's eyes reflect Lily's tearful and sad face. He looks at her for a long time.
The silence in the attic is suffocating.
After a long time, the man's palm touches Lily's face and caresses it a few times. His voice is almost
inaudible. "I am the one who met you first, and I am also the one who likes you."
Why do you fall in love with someone else?
"Sorry, sorry..." Lily doesn't know what to say, so she can only repeat it over and over again while
holding his hand tightly. "I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere."
Lily sees that the bandages on his body haven't been changed for a long time, and he doesn't look well
either. With the dressing unchanged, she doesn't know what will happen.
Perhaps he doesn't think about leaving after coming here.
Lily has a sore nose when she thinks like this.
She gets her phone, unlocks it and whispers, "I'll call the doctor over and treat your wound. Don't you
still have a present for me? I'm looking forward to it."
"Do you need it?"
"Yes." Lily says, "I like every gift you give me and I keep all of them properly. I also like camellias very
much. Can you give me more in the future?"
Even though he knows that what she says might be a lie, it is so pleasant to hear, he is touched.
"Okay."
Lily contacts the best doctor in Hanchi Hospital, tells him about John's condition and address, and asks
him to come within an hour, no matter what price he asks.
After making the call, she comforts John and says that the attic is too wet and cold, so she covers both
of them with her overcoat and brings him into a room. She turns on the lights and the heating.
John looks down at the ground and sits on the sofa silently.
Forty minutes later, the doctor arrives with a nurse in case he is overwhelmed by the work.
After the doctor enters the room to examine John, his expression becomes somewhat grave. "The
wound bleeds again and is stuck to the gauze. It might be a bit troublesome to remove the gauze."
When Lily hears this, she reveals a nervous expression. "Is it serious?"
"Nope." The doctor says as he puts on gloves and asks the nurse to dispense medicine. "But he's
going to have a pain for a while."
Lily holds John's hand and says softly, "It will hurt a little. Can you hold on? I will be here all the time. If
you can't stand it, bite my arm."
John shakes his head. "I don't have the heart to do this."
Using sterilized scissors, the doctor carefully cuts off the gauze wrapped around John's body bit by bit.
As the gauze is being removed, Lily sees that the innermost gauze has stuck to the wound. It is dark
red and dirty and it shocks her.
In the next second, a cold hand covers her eyes, blocking her line of sight.
"Don't look."
Lily's heart aches so much that she tries her best to endure it and agrees.
She can't see it, but she can feel the pain when the gauze is being removed from the wound because
John's arm is trembling slightly, and she hears his suppressed painful snort.
After a long time, the hand covering Lily's eyes is loosened. She sees that John is wrapped in new
gauze and the doctor is packing.
After writing the case, the doctor hands it to Lily.
"I brought some medicine with me according to your description, but his condition is more serious than
that. Go to the pharmacy tomorrow to buy the medicine I prescribed. Remember to change his gauze
every day to check his wounds and medicine must be taken on time. During this month, he should eat
liquid food while spiciness, cigarettes and alcohol are all forbidden."
"Thank you."
Lily doesn't have anything to ask about the doctor's instructions. After paying, she sees the doctor and
the nurse off.
She pours him warm water and gives him the medicine. "Take the medicine and have a good sleep."
John silently takes the medicine.
Lily helps him to the bedroom. Just as she is about to turn on the light, John holds her hand and says, Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"I don't like light."
"Alright."
There is light coming in from outside the window, and the furnishings in the bedroom can be seen
clearly. Lily follows his will, gets him to bed and covers him with a quilt.
John hides in the shadows with his blue eyes staring at her.
His voice is a little hoarse. "Will you stay here?"
Lily is about to say that she will rest in the living room. When she meets his gaze, her heart aches and
she lies down beside him. The two are separated by the quilt. "Yeah, I'm not leaving."
Only then does John close his eyes.
Lily pretends to close her eyes, but she can't sleep.
When she hears his even breathing, she opens her eyes and looks at John's profile, feeling very
painful in her heart.
If he has told her all of this at that time, they wouldn't have missed it.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
…
Lily doesn't sleep well all night, and when she wakes up, it is dawn.
John seems to be very tired these past two days and is still sleeping soundly. She glances at him and
walks out of the bedroom quietly. She buys some ingredients and thermal products online.
After she tidies up the messy living room, the ingredients she bought online are delivered.
Lily cooks porridge and calls Victor.
She feels heartache for John, but that is all. All she can do has been done last night, and the rest has
to be left to John's men.
The first time she calls, the call is connected.
Lily says first, "I found John. Do you know the address of the manor he bought in Hanchi? He's fine
now. Come over here."
"Thank you." Victor sounds exhausted, as if he has been searching for John for a long time. When he
hears her words, he seems to calm down.
However, Victor can't make it and says, "Miss Lily, you know better than me what Young Master
needs."
Lily holds the phone tightly.
She calls Victor because she knows.
If she is always here to take care of John, then what Louis is to her?
