Chapter 404: It's Not That I'm Hungry. They're Hungry
John reached out and touched her cheek. His eyes were gentle, "No matter what you do, I respect you.
Besides, you are nominally the Ms. Lily of Krislier Manor. Do you need me to pay you?"
Lily knows he is right, then she says, "I'm working for you, not for nothing! If your father gives me any
jewelry, I won't return it. I can take it back to cash sooner or later."
John smiles gently and says, "Alright."
After meal, Lily walks around the hospital with John, and then they go to the mall. Lily buys some loose
and comfortable clothes.
By the time they return to the manor, it is already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
After entering the room, John does not see Burnell's usual shoes and asks the servant, "Is Mr. Burnell
in the study?"
"Mr. Burnell called this afternoon, saying that he wouldn't come back." The servant lowers his head and
replies, "He said that he would accompany Mr. Jonathan in the hospital these few days and let you and
Ms. Lily take charge of the manor."
John says, "I know."
"Do you and Ms. Lily need a meal? There are some Chinese cuisines in the kitchen tonight. There are
sauce bones."
Lily has some before she comes back, and after hearing the servant say that, she is hungry again,
"Yes. And, have the kitchen make two more meals that Mr. Burnell and Mr. Jonathan like to eat, and
send the meals to the hospital."
"Yes."
After the servant leaves, John looks at her belly and says, "You ate two hamburgers, four drumsticks,
and mushroom soup two hours ago. Are you hungry again?"
"It's not that I'm hungry. They're hungry." Lily smiles embarrassedly and whispers, "Three mouths!"
John is speechless.
While waiting for dinner, Lily and John go to the living room to take their seats.
Lily peels the watery grapes and puts them into her mouth, whispering to John, who is sitting beside
her, "Jonathan lost his right arm, but he got a bargain."
"Look at your worried father. He won't come back at night from the hospital. If Jonathan wakes up, he'll
pretend to be pitiful. So he'll probably get a lot of benefits from your father."
John smiles and says, "It's fine. You say that my father loves me the most. For what Jonathan has,
even if I don't have it, he will secretly replenish me in the future. Besides, I can also pretend to be
pitiful."
Lily sighs, "I'm most worried about Coffey now."
Not to mention Jonathan, when Burnell saw that his son is injured like this, he will definitely pursue the
matter to the end.
"Don't you know how smart your brother is?" John comforts her, "I will let Victor continue to search."
"Yes." Lily nods, as if comforting herself, "He must have planned everything. Maybe he will get on the
plane and return home in a few days."
She takes an orange from the fruit plate and gives it to John. "My fingernails are short. Help me peel
them."
" ... You have eaten a plate of grapes." John has to remind her, "Still eating oranges? Will you be able
to eat dinner later?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yes, I will. I'm not full now."
"..."
Knowing that she is pregnant with triplets, Lily becomes even more cautious. On the one hand, she has
to be on guard against servants, afraid that they will discover it.
Burnell has been taking care of Jonathan in the hospital these past few days. Many servants in the
manor are on holiday, so she takes the opportunity to bask in the sun with John in the garden and walk
around.
One day when they go to the garden, Lily notices that there are branches and leaves growing in the
garden, but none of them bloom.
She asks John curiously, "What is this? Why hasn't it bloomed yet?"
John gives her a meaningful look. "You planted it, but don't you recognize it?"
"I haven't even turned the soil of the garden since I came here...." Lily suddenly remembers something
and stares at him with her eyes wide open. John nods.
"Transplanting the green roses of Country F here is so tiring!" Lily says, pulling a wry face. "If you like it,
you can plant it here again."
John shakes his head and says solemnly, "It's different. We planted it ourselves. Watching it germinate
is a memory. If we plant it here again, the memories will be different."
Lily fails to refute for a moment, "Alright, you have already transplanted them here anyway."
"Do you like baby’s-breath?" John asks again, pointing towards the other side. "The soil over has been
turned over. Just buy some seeds and sprinkle them in it. When the temperature rises, they will grow
very quickly."
"Don't plant all the flowers. Why don't you plant a few orange trees?" Lily says excitedly, "It's so good to
repel mosquitoes and we can eat them when they are ripe!"
"Alright." John looks at her profile and smiles. "I'll have the servants buy seeds tomorrow."
As long as she likes, he'll take care of everything for her.
The two lazily basks in the sun and drink afternoon tea in the garden.
Lily is very interested in oranges and keeps eating.
John is afraid that she may eat too much, so he has the servants hide the other oranges in the room
and tells her that he has eaten them all.
When they get back to the main house by sightseeing bus, they see a car passing by and driving into
the open-air parking lot over there.
Lily squints to see the license plate and asks John, "Is that your father's car?"
John nods with no expression on his face. "I guess he's back with Jonathan."
"Since we see it, we go over and say hello to them." Lily asks him to drive the sightseeing bus to the
parking lot.
When they arrive, they happen to see Burnell and Jonathan get out of the car.
"Why are you here?" Burnell is surprised to see Lily and John coming over.
"Colbert and I were just basking in the garden." Lily smiles faintly, "When we are about to go back,
Colbert saw your car coming back and says that he wanted to come to receive you."
She looks back and sees Jonathan in a white shirt and trousers. His right sleeve of the shirt is empty,
but there is a smile between his eyebrows. He still looks like a noble young master from a wealthy
family.
Lily thinks to herself. Indeed, Burnell has not only taken care of Jonathan in the hospital, he also gives
Jonathan a lot of things secretly.
John frowns but he has to greet them.
"Dad, Jonathan."
Burnell nods, "Let's go back together."
The four of them board the sightseeing bus. John drives while the rest sits behind him.
Lily sits alone, and Jonathan happens to be sitting opposite her.
Jonathan leans back in his seat and looks at Lily with a gloomy gaze.
"Mr. Jonathan." Lily glances at him and says with concern, "Colbert told me about the matter on the
Party. I want to visit you during this period, but I am afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't go with Colbert.
How are you?"
"Of course I'm fine." Jonathan smiles and stared at her, "It's just that I lost an arm. It doesn't affect me.
After all, there are many servants in the manor, so I don't need to worry about anything."
"You are right. But you have your own company, and you have to go to the company." After pausing for
a moment, Lily says softly, "I have a friend who sells artificial limbs. I hear that with the top secret
technique in Country D, the artificial limbs he made are no different from real ones. If you need one, I
can call him."
Jonathan's face darkened.
This woman is truly bold, daring to mock him in front of others!
"Thank you, Ms. Lily. I'm looking forward to it!" Jonathan grits his teeth and smiles, "I will definitely
repay you well later."
