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 orter."


    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


    andfortable 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''te back." The servant lowers his head and


    replies, "He said that he would apany 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 shees 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''te 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?" Johnforts her, "I will let Victor continue to search."


    "Yes." Lily nods, as ifforting herself, "He must have nned everything. Maybe he will get on the


    ne and return home in a few days."


    She takes an orange from the fruit te and gives it to John. "My fingernails are short. Help me peel


    them."


    " ... You have eaten a te of grapes." John has to remind her, "Still eating oranges? Will you be able


    to eat dinnerter?"


    "Yes, I will. I''m not full now."


    "..."


    Knowing that she is pregnant with triplets, Lily bes 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 nted 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.


    "Transnting the green roses of Country F here is so tiring!" Lily says, pulling a wry face. "If you like it,


    you can nt it here again."


    John shakes his head and says solemnly, "It''s different. We nted it ourselves. Watching it germinate


    is a memory. If we nt it here again, the memories will be different."


    Lily fails to refute for a moment, "Alright, you have already transnted 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 nt all the flowers. Why don''t you nt 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 twozily 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 te 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 Johning over.


    "Colbert and I were just basking in the garden." Lily smiles faintly, "When we are about to go back,


    Colbert saw your caring back and says that he wanted toe 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 nces 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 ownpany, and you have to go to thepany." 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 wellter."
