Chapter 319
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 319<\/p>\n
The news of Derek\u2019s car accident has been suppressed by the Lewis family, so few media or newspaper agencies know about it. They have also invited close family and friends to the funeral only.<\/p>\n
Lily in a black dress goes to the cemetery with Louis and others.<\/p>\n
After getting off from the car, Lily sees Leigh and his mother from afar. Evelyn looks withered. Derek\u2019s death seems to have made her aged overnight.<\/p>\n
Derek has a good reputation in public. He\u2019s known for loving Evelyn very much. Louis has told Lily that after the car accident, Evelyn rushes to the hospital and holds her husband\u2019s dead body crying for a whole night.<\/p>\n
Next to Leigh stands Jessie, in a black dress. A small black gauze hat covers her delicate face. Occasionally her lips apart, comforting Evelyn from time to time. However, there\u2019s no sadness or happiness shown on her face.<\/p>\n
Withdrawing her gaze, Lily heaves a sigh inwardly.<\/p>\n
Even if Derek has done something embarrassing, he\u2019s still a loving husband to Evelyn for decades. Also, he is Leigh\u2019s father. If Evelyn knew the true, how could she get along with Jessie?<\/p>\n
Seeing Daniel and others coming over, Leigh comes up to greet them.<\/p>\n
\u201cHi, Daniel, Louis.\u201d Except that his eyes are dimmed, Leigh looks energetic. His voice is a bit hoarse. \u201cThanks for coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel pats on his shoulder. \u201cSorry for your loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t feel that sad.\u201d Leigh shrugs, looking away. Then he says ironically, \u201cUpon the things that he has done secretly, such a death might be God\u2019s retribution.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also because what his father has done makes Leigh refuse to inherit the family business.<\/p>\n
The funeral starts at nine o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n
Everyone is standing silently. After Derek\u2019s coffin is buried, the guests go up to express their condolence one after another.<\/p>\n
There are not so many guests attending the funeral, so it ends within an hour.<\/p>\n
When leaving the cemetery, Lily casts a glance at Jessie. She releases Louis\u2019 hand and says in a low voice, \u201cYou can leave with Daniel. I\u2019ll go over to see how Jessie is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis nods in agreement.<\/p>\n
Evelyn still can\u2019t control her emotion. She\u2019s standing in front of Derek\u2019s tombstone, crying in silence. Jessie comforts her, \u201cAuntie Evelyn, please restrain your grief.\u201d She continues, \u201cAlthough the news is blocked to public, employees in the company should know it. It still needs you and Leigh.\u201d<\/p>\n
Evelyn nodded. Holding Jessie\u2019s hand tightly, she says, \u201cJessie, we\u2019re so lucky to have you… If you weren\u2019t here with me, I don\u2019t know how I could get through.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only me. Leigh also cares a lot about you.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Lily is approaching, she hears Jessie comforting Evelyn in a low voice. She stands in a distance to prevent interrupting them. It\u2019s not until Jessie has asked someone to send Evelyn away does Lily walk to her.<\/p>\n
With a sigh, Lily asks, \u201cYou still need to comfort Aunt Evelyn… You must be feeling very bitter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you known everything?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYep, Louis told me about it.\u201d The two women start walking towards the entrance side by side. Lily says in a gentle tone, \u201cYou\u2019re really kind-hearted. You didn\u2019t vent your anger to the whole Lewis family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessie smiles, and it\u2019s somewhat bitter. \u201cOf course I wanted. I wanted revenge the whole Lewis family so much… But Auntie Evelyn and Leigh don\u2019t know anything about what Derek Lewis has done. My enemy is only Derek Lewis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since Leigh has protected her from the gunshot earlier, Jessie\u2019s heart becomes softened. She can\u2019t do ruthless things to him.<\/p>\n
When she rushes to the hospital with Leigh and sees Derek\u2019s dead body, she feels delighted. She feels that she finally has avenged her older sister and parents.<\/p>\n
However, when she sees the crying Evelyn and Leigh\u2019s sad and disappointed face, the delight in her heart is replaced by a sense of guilt quickly, which really annoys her.<\/p>\n
She has even regretted for having participated in the revenge plan.<\/p>\n
She wishes that she has hired a smart girl instead of herself to get close to Leigh and complete her revenge.<\/p>\n
Lily stands by her in silence, listening to her cry and complaints.<\/p>\n
After Jessie stops crying, her eyes are reddened and swollen and her makeup is messy.<\/p>\n
Lily uses a piece of wet tissue to wipe her face. \u201cWe all can tell that Leigh really loves you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pursing her lips, Jessie says in a hoarse voice, \u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heaving a sigh, Lily doesn\u2019t want to guess what Jessie means by saying that. Instead, she continues, \u201cNow Derek Lewis is dead. There are another five men. Will you still continue the revenge?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course!\u201d Jessie\u2019s eyes are full of hatred. \u201cThey deserve to die for tens of thousands of times!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you need my help?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessie shakes her head. \u201cNo, thanks. I\u2019m already too guilty to you. I don\u2019t want to pull you into the mire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right.\u201d Lily doesn\u2019t force her.<\/p>\n
After chatting for a while, when they are leaving the cemetery together, they encounter Leigh at the gate.<\/p>\n
Leigh has just seen off his friends and comes back to pick up Jessie. Seeing her reddened eyes, he frowns. Lily mentions that her car is waiting for her outside, and then she leaves.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d Leigh walks to Jessie, holding her face and looking at it carefully. \u201cYour eyes are swollen because of crying too much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessie makes a lie casually. \u201cI was talking about my families who have passed away with Lily just now. I just couldn\u2019t help crying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kissing her cheek, Leigh says with concern, \u201cIt\u2019s been a hard time for you in these two days. You also stayed up with my Mom last night. Mom has gone back with the servants. Come on. I\u2019ll send you back home. Let\u2019s have a good sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2256","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2256","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=2256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
