Chapter 289
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 289<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really reluctant to accept this\u2026\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
But he can\u2019t. Neither is he qualified to do so.<\/p>\n
He coughs more violently and bends down. The light yellow handkerchief has been dyed by the red blood, which is quite horrifying.<\/p>\n
John feels dizzy and finally falls down onto the ground.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
After the romantic scene, the guests gradually leave the ball room. Lily and her companions also leave.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Did someone get hurt when he\/she is dancing?<\/p>\n
As she\u2019s 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\u2019s now in an extremely bad condition.<\/p>\n
Jessie suddenly stops and turns to look at those doctors who are carrying medical kits.<\/p>\n
Lily asks, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, nothing.\u201d Jessie quickly pulls herself back and sticks out her tongue, \u201cJust now I heard from the waiter that a guest had passed out. I wonder whether these doctors will be helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess there might be no problem.\u201d Lily smiles, \u201cIf these doctors can\u2019t help that guest, the manager of the cruise will definitely contact the doctors outside. After all, the safety of guests is their major concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessie glances at her with complicated emotions in her eyes, \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
She has no idea about John\u2019s physical condition.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Just as she walks out of the bathroom, the doorbell rings.<\/p>\n
As soon as the door is opened, she\u2019s greeted with Leigh\u2019s flattery smile, \u201cHoney, you just took a bath. You smell good!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leigh pretends to be pitiful, \u201cI have achluophobia and can\u2019t sleep alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can sleep with lights on.\u201d When Jessie intends to close the door, she finds it being impeded by his foot and gets pissed off, \u201cLeigh Lewis, move your foot away!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney, I want to sleep with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t forgiven you yet!\u201d Every time when Jessie thinks of the photos in his phone, she feels disgusted and unhappy.<\/p>\n
Leigh remains still. Jessie forces the door closed and pushes him out of the door.<\/p>\n
Leigh suddenly screams miserably, \u201cOuch, it hurts so much. Honey, my leg is broken.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a lie again, right?\u201d 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, \u201cIt\u2026It\u2019s really hit? Does it hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leigh takes the chance to grab her hand, pulls her into the house, and swiftly closes the door.<\/p>\n
He kisses her and grins, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t hurt now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLeigh Lewis, you\u2019re ruining my good impression on you!\u201d Jessie punches him on the chest, pushes him away, and then walks towards the bedroom. The cheeky Leigh follows.<\/p>\n
He plays up to her, \u201cLittle Fairy, don\u2019t get angry with me. I was wrong. I\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDogs can\u2019t change the fact that they eat feces! You won\u2019t change!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis metaphor is way too\u2026\u201d Leigh\u2019s mouth corners twitch, \u201cI just thought they were pretty and unconsciously saved those photos. I didn\u2019t intend to flirt with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessie glares at him and says with rage, \u201cDid you mean that I\u2019m not pretty enough? Are my photos ineligible to be stored in your photo gallery?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t mean\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNonsense. My darling would not be that cruel to me.\u201d Leigh lies with a straight face, \u201cThe reason why I kneel down is to build up my body.\u201d<\/p>\n
Justin mocks at him, \u201cTaking the punishment of kneeling down on the keyboard as physical excise. You help me broaden my view today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there\u2019s no other matter, I will hang up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Justin gets down to business, \u201cLouis\u2019 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\u2019re now in short of funds.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, so you want money.\u201d Leigh understands it, \u201cBut what\u2019s the use of researching that thing? There\u2019re only five plants. If the experiments on them are all failed, several hundred millions will be gone without any return.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really tiresome to have men like you as my buddy.\u201d Justin sighs, \u201cI must have been blinded back then. Not only me. I think Daniel and Louis must have also been blinded.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFuck! Justin, it\u2019s a personal abuse. You\u2019ve gone too far.\u201d Leigh feels discontented, \u201cWithout my help, how did you get the research funds that are worthy of several hundred millions? Did they come from thin air?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s stop here. Remember to deliver my words to Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Justin ends the call after finishing the phone. It is as if he despises Leigh so much. Leigh is pissed off.<\/p>\n
Jessie asks, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJustin despises me!\u201d Leigh says indignantly, \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessie concentrates on it when hearing the words \u2018regenerate cells\u2019.<\/p>\n
She asks casually, pretending that she\u2019s asking a simple question, \u201cThe medical circle has researched this for nearly a century, yet they haven\u2019t found any medicine that can regenerate cells. Is there such kind of plant? It\u2019s impossible, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, Louis found it.\u201d Jessie is Leigh\u2019s girlfriend after all, so he doesn\u2019t hide this from her and tells her about Louis taking Lily to Turkey to find Ixora.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Justin\u2019s team\u2019s R&D on Ixora has reached the second stage. And the research has been successful up to present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2226","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
