Chapter 300
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 300<\/p>\n
Victor calls the hotel front desk and asks them to send someone upstairs to clean their room. Then he orders dinner. John tears open the envelope and takes out a few pieces of paper from it.<\/p>\n
The envelop is torn open too big that a photo drops out from it.<\/p>\n
John picks it up and has a glance. There\u2019s a pretty Asian woman on the photo. She\u2019s smiling and pursing her lips. She seems to be arm in arm with someone, but the person next to her has been cut off.<\/p>\n
After glancing at the photo, he puts it on the tea table next to him. Then he starts to read the letter.<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, John begins to have short breaths and his expression also changes. He looks through the second page quickly. After he reads something on it, his eye pupils shrink and his hands are shaking.<\/p>\n
After reading the third page, his hands stop trembling and he has faint sorrow and smile on his face at the same time. His blue eyes stare at the paper but they are dimmed.<\/p>\n
\u201cCough…Cough!\u201d he coughs again after a few seconds of silence.<\/p>\n
Then he spits out a mouthful of blood.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. John!\u201d Victor rushes over after hearing the sound. Seeing John coughs up blood fiercely, he rushes to the bedroom and takes out pills from the medicine toolkit he has brought along.<\/p>\n
He hurriedly gets two pills and pours a glass of warm water. Then he hands them to John.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake them away! I won\u2019t have them!\u201d John suddenly refuses it angrily, waving his hand rudely.<\/p>\n
The pills and water glass are knocked down to the floor, startling Victor.<\/p>\n
Victor picks up the pills and pours another glass of water. Then he hands them to John again. Gritting his teeth, he says, \u201cMr. John, you said you\u2019ll give Miss Lily a gift. If you don\u2019t take the medicine, you can\u2019t even hold on for another three months.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perhaps Lily\u2019s name has hit John. He looks up at Victor, takes over the water glass, and swallows the pills.<\/p>\n
Victor accidentally catches a glimpse of the photo on the tea table. He sees a pretty woman, whom he seems to have seen somewhere. Somehow he can\u2019t remember for the time being.<\/p>\n
Looking at the letter in John\u2019s hands, Victor guesses it\u2019s because of the letter that John has lost control just now.<\/p>\n
Victor wants to ask about the letter content. While he\u2019s trying to figure out how to start the question, John stares at the photo on the tea table and asks in a low voice, \u201cVictor, do you know who this woman is?\u201d<\/p>\n
Victor shakes his head. \u201cNo, I don\u2019t. She\u2019s pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s my mother.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Victor is taken aback. He can\u2019t help looking at the photo for a few more times.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not until then does he recall that when he enters John\u2019s father Burnell\u2019s study for the first time, he sees an oil painting of a woman on the right-side wall. The woman wears a wedding dress instead but she looks exactly the same as the woman in this photo.<\/p>\n
He has been fascinated when seeing the painting. He remembers that Burnell explains to him with a gentle smile, \u201cThis is Colbert\u2019s mother. Isn\u2019t she beautiful?\u201d<\/p>\n
[Note: Colbert Krislier is another name for John Dawn.]<\/p>\n
So it turns out to be John\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d John smiles, but his expression is a little blank. He murmurs, \u201cNo wonder he has sent Satsuki to me. He\u2019s known about it long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victor doesn\u2019t understand. He asks, \u201cMr. John, what do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
John doesn\u2019t answer him. Picking up the envelope and taking a second look, he takes out another photo from it. He casts a few glances at it and his face darkens. Then he tosses the photo to Victor.<\/p>\n
Victor catches it. When he sees the women on the photo, he\u2019s startled.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t this Satsuki Oguri\u2019s mother?\u201d he says. Looking up at John, he finds John\u2019s face becomes livid. \u201cWhy did your father send this photo to you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKrislier Group is not all of my life,\u201d John says with a softened look on his face. \u201cI\u2019ve already prepared the portion for Lily. When the time comes, you can go to Mr. Will and he will tell you what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. John, have you really made up your mind to see your mom?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I have.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victor knows that he can\u2019t convince John, so he heaves a sigh and goes to prepare the contract.<\/p>\n
John puts the two photos together, comparing each other.<\/p>\n
The women on the two photos look different but they have the same eyes, all full of gentle smile. He touches one photo, his heart full of expectation.<\/p>\n
He doesn\u2019t have mother since he was born, and he\u2019s been regretted for more than twenty years. Now he gets to know that his mother is still alive, he\u2019s definitely going to meet her no matter how much he would pay.<\/p>\n
He also wants to introduce Lily to his mother, telling her that Lily is his true love.<\/p>\n
Because of Lily, his miserable life has a glimmer of light.<\/p>\n
Shortly, Victor comes over with the tablet. He hands it over to John, carelessly bumping into the photos on the tea table. One of the photo falls on the carpet with its backside up.<\/p>\n
John picks it up and it\u2019s until then does he discover a small line of characters at the bottom right corner of the back:<\/p>\n
\u201cMy beloved wife – Scarlett Streep\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt turns out to be my mother\u2019s Chinese name?\u201d John mumbles.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. I heard your father mention about it before. But the servants and maids in the manor all addressed her Madame Tamara,\u201d Victor says, \u201cAfter Madame lost her memory and got married with Takuya Oguri in Japan, she changed her name to Kanna Oguri with her husband family name.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2237","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2237","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=2237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
