Chapter 572 He was so Annoying
John stepped back two steps, and his gentle eyes became sharp at this time. He stared at Sofia and
said, "Ms. Sofia, no matter how much gossip you’ve heard, remember where you are and who you
work for."
"Do not talk nonsense." He adjusted his glasses and said tonelessly, but Sofia felt under pressure. He
added, "Do not underestimate the public relations department of the Smith Group. I’m not an easy
talker, either."
Sofia froze slightly and immediately chuckled, "Maybe it’s just rumor. It’s glad to see you today, so I’ve
just shot my mouth off."
"Sometimes your mouth will only bring you trouble." John glanced at her. "Don’t you think so?"
Sofia was embarrassed and paused for a moment. When she jolted herself, John had already passed
her by.
She turned to look at his back and clenched her hands gradually.
John loved Lily so much, so he definitely got angry just now. But Sofia wondered why he could calm
down. Maybe he was pretending to be indifferent.
He was so good at pretending.
Sofia quickly looked away for fear that he would recognize her thoughts. She pushed the door and
went into the coffee shop. She kept wondering whether John really did not care bout the news.
Burnell will come to Yorkshire soon. To make the plan go smoothly, she must cut the connection
between Louis and John. It was better to make them turn against each other.
If John did not care about her remarks, she had to think of other ways.

Lily stayed in the hospital for more than two weeks and had enough time to recuperate. Her gunshot
wound had already healed.
There were no scars on her skin after she used the ointment that Justin brought from the laboratory.
Lily found that since Yuna came to the hospital to meet John that day and asked John to see her off, Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
John had never come to the hospital again.
She was afraid that when John sent Yuna out, Yuna said something bad to him. She sent Facebook to
him to beat about the bush. John just said that he was busy with work and did not have time to come.
Lily also paid attention to the company and the business circle. After knowing that they were busy
preparing new products, she got relieved.
During this period of hospitalization, she ate a lot and gained some weight. The biggest change was
her stomach.
She could hide the bump under the baggy clothes. After two weeks' rest, her belly grew bigger every
day and was plump like a watermelon. She was afraid that her belly would burst.
Lily got up early in the morning to pack up. Justin said she could be discharged from the hospital today.
She had taken just some clothes and skincare products.
Lily felt tired after bending over for a while to pack up. Her bump was too heavy as if it would drop on
the ground.
With her hand around her waist, she just stood up to call Chloe. At this time, she saw a hand stretching
from the side and carrying away the bag in front of her.
"Is that all?" The man said in a low voice, and the other hand was on her waist, "I'll help you."
Lily turned around and saw the man who had never come here since she was hospitalized. He was
charming in the stylish suit. However, he looked exhausted with black-ringed eyes.
"You can’t sleep well recently, right?" She was too worried about him and even did not realize that they
were too close when he held her waist and supported her to go out of the ward. She asked him, "What
are you doing?"
Louis smiled and said casually, "It's time for the semi-annual report. I’m busy with that. What’s wrong?"
The man looked at her with deep eyes. "You are blaming me for I'm so busy at work and did not come
to see you?"
"I don't care about that!" Lily realized that she was excessively worried about her and sneered, "I
thought Mr. Nathan has made trouble for you, and I was afraid that he would target me next."
"No." Louis said tonelessly with bleak eyes, "He is too busy to embarrass our group."
Lily's pupil suddenly tightened and stopped her movements. "Lou...Louis ..."
Grabbing his sleeve, she was a little nervous and stammered, "You were so busy before, you... Don’t
be so desperate. Don't fight with him."
"Don't stutter. Our kids will be influenced." Louis took her into his arms and felt her body was soft, so he
couldn't help kneading her.
Lily immediately felt that and gave him a hard pat.
Louis did not stop and took her across the corridor to take the elevator. He smiled faintly, "I have to
feed my wife and children, so of course, I cherish my life. Believe me, darling. Don’t think so much."
Lily could not push his hand away, so she had to ignore it. She asked a little angrily, "You did not do
anything bad, did you?"
"No."
"Louis, forget it." Lily tightened her lips and whispered, "Sophia is dead. If Mr. Nathan will find out who
is to blame, just apologize for it. Don't blow it up."
She was not innocent, but she knew the significant power and social resources of Mr. Nathan.
Sophia was right. A businessman without relations with the military and the government would lose the
initiative.
She did not want it to get worse.
Louis glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, kept walking, and said tonelessly, "I’ll obey laws."
Lily rolled her eyes.
Ridiculous!
She did not believe that a person who obeyed laws would prepare guns at home.
When they came out of the hospital, Lily was afraid of being surrounded by reporters outside, so she
put on her hat and mask, and wanted to distance herself from Louis.
Louis took her hand again. "You don’t need to wear a mask. It's okay. No one dares to take pictures."
As early as when Lily was in the hospital, he told David to keep an eye on the hospital. As long as
reporters sneaked into the inpatient department to find Lily, the Smith Group would control the whole
media circle and he would manage to find the paparazzi.
Fortunately, those reporters were obedient enough and did not wander around the hospital.
Lily said nothing and was about to pull the co-pilot door. Louis stopped her and opened the rear door.
"It’s not safe. Sit in the back."
"It only takes ten minutes to get to the apartment." Lily frowned, "I believe your driving skills."
"No. Sit in the back," Louis said insistently and there was no discussion. "I'm a good driver, but the cars
in front of us could stop suddenly. Listen to me."
Lily was very annoyed that he controlled her too much, but she also felt warm because of his intimate
little affectations. She mumbled vaguely and still got into the back seat.
After sitting down, Lily found a fruit box on the seat next to her, and the orange fragrance drifted by.
She lifted the cover paper on the box and found it was a box of oranges.
Louis also got in the car. When he fastened his seat belt, he saw her movements from the rearview
mirror and said, "The people in the orchard sent it this morning. Since I want to take you back to the
apartment, I took it for you."
"It’s too much." Lily took an orange and peeled it off. "I’ll send some to Chloe later."
"No need. If you can’t eat them all, throw the leftover." Louis said, "If she wants to eat, she will buy it
herself."
It was not the first time that Lily discovered his eccentricity, but she still blushed and asked him while
peeling the orange, "Have you heard something about Little Fairy?"
Louis did not answer her immediately.
After several seconds, he said, "The seawater at the other side of the port is highly mobile, and
probably she has been rescued in another place, but we haven't found her yet."
