A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 548: But You've Been Lying to Me!

Leigh completely gives up going to the company and hands over all the power to the vice president. He

will be called only if something urgent happens.

He asks Jessie if she wants to paint. Servants are ordered to buy some paints and an easel. The easel

is set up in the garden. Basking in the sunshine, he keeps her company while she is painting.

If Jessie doesn't want to draw, he will read some books for her, or play guessing games with her.

He has never lost his temper with her again and always coaxes her gently.

He cannot bring back what she used to be, but it won't matter as long as she is with him.

That's enough.

The doctor gave a bottle of medication. Leigh drips eye drops into Jessie's eyes every morning and

evening.

After a week, eye drops almost used up. But Jessie still can't see anything.

Today the vice president of the company calls Leigh and asks him to handle urgent matters personally.

"Jessie, stay at home and wait for me. I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Leigh kisses her lips and says,

"When I come back, I'll bring you a mousse cake, okay?"

Jessie nods, "You go. Servants will look after me."

After Leigh leaves, Jessie wants to bask in the sun.

Her servant says that it is hot and sunny today and she will get sunburned, so she tells the servant to

turn on the TV to listen to the news herself.

She eats and drinks in the living room and watches TV in the morning.

But at noon, Leigh doesn't return.

After lunch, Jessie feels a little sleepy. She touches her way upstairs alone without the servant's help.

As soon as she gets upstairs, she faintly hears voices coming from afar.

"Mrs. Jessie is so pitiful. The doctor said that she couldn't keep her child. She will have an abortion

operation next week but she still doesn't know anything."

A servant sighs, "Mr. Leigh is afraid that she will be too sad, so he doesn't dare to tell her."

Another servant also sighs, "But how can Mrs. Jessie not know the truth? Also, her uncle and aunt are

dead. Mrs. Jessie is still kept in the dark."

"I heard that her aunt died in a traffic accident when she rushed to the hospital. It's really hard to predict

life and death."

The servant whispered, "I heard from them that Mrs. Jessie had disappeared. Mr. Leigh was very angry

and ordered someone to ask her uncle about her whereabouts ... Mr. Leigh is too extreme."

"This is nothing. There is a more terrible thing. Mr. Leigh imprisoned her before. It's only been a few

days since Mrs. Jessie left and now she is taken back."

"Mrs. Jessie is so miserable."

"..."

After chatting for a while, the servants quickly go to work.

Jessie grabs the handrail firmly, with her joints pale and her body trembling.

Her brain is almost blank.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, she bites her lips fiercely, touches the

handrail, and slowly walks up to pretend that she has just come up.

The two servants who are about to go downstairs are shocked when they see Jessie at the staircase

entrance.

"Mrs. ... Mrs. Jessie."

Jessie nods and says in a tired voice, "I'm so sleepy. I want to go back to my room and sleep awhile."

"Mrs. Jessie, do you want me to help you?"

"No, thanks."

Jessie slowly walks upstairs and listens to the footsteps of the servants as they mutter nervously, "She

just went upstairs. She didn't hear our conversation, did she?"

"..."

Jessie is filled with a sense of sadness and she tries to hold back her tears.

Her legs also get weak.

After finding the room, she cannot hold on. She falls limply on the carpet and covers her face with her

hands. She bites her lips and cries silently, afraid of being heard.

So what Chace said is true. Her uncle and aunt have died.

No wonder Leigh is always perfunctory when she asks Leigh when she can see her uncle and aunt or Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

call them these days. The truth is that they were dead.

It is Leigh who is lying to her. She cannot accept her uncle's death and has been deceiving herself.

Jessie hugs her knees and sits at the door as she cries silently.

Not knowing how much time passed, she faintly hears footsteps outside the door. She hurriedly feels

the way to the bed and covers herself up.

Jessie pretends to fall asleep and hears the sound of the door being opened.

"Little Fairy, it's time to get up." The man pinches her cheek and smiles softly, "The servants tell me that

you go to sleep after lunch. It's almost at night-time, don't you get enough rest?"

Jessie pretends to be awake and rubs her eyes, "What did you just say?"

"I said you slept too long."

"I'm sleepy today." Jessie is lifted by Leigh and asks, "Is there anything wrong with the company?"

"Yes, but it's all settled." Leigh puts cotton slippers on her feet.

When Leigh raises his head again, he finds that Jessie's eyes are red. He asks nervously, "Why are

your eyes red? Are you uncomfortable?"

Jessie shakes her head, "There's no discomfort. I might be crying in dreams."

"I'll stay at home with you tomorrow." Leigh helps her out of the bedroom, "Wait a few more days, I will

let your uncle and aunt come over to see you, okay?"

Jessie purses her lips and pretends to be surprised, "Really, aren't you lying to me?"

"I'm serious. When have I ever lied to you?"

Jessie tries her best to restrain herself, not revealing any emotions in front of him.

"But you've been lying to me!" she thinks.

Leigh takes Jessie downstairs for supper.

After supper, Jessie sits on the sofa and watches TV for a while. Leigh says that he brings back a

mousse cake and will help her take it.

The cake tastes sweet, soft, and waxy, but Jessie's heart is full of bitterness.

She forces herself not to think about those things and barely takes a little. Finally, she says that she

feels uncomfortable and does not want to eat anymore.

Leigh talks to her a lot and asks her if she wants to go out for a picnic tomorrow. Now Jessie's mind is

in a mess. She doesn't care what he is saying and just always agrees.

She doesn't know when she returns to the bedroom with Leigh, but he sleeps beside her.

Although she slept all afternoon, she is still sleepy and gradually falls asleep.

Jessie has a nightmare and is so scared that she wakes up in a flash with her hands and feet numb.

She gasps and opens her eyes. She thinks that it is darkness in front of her again, but she sees the

warm yellow chandelier above her head.

European chandelier, like a glass flower, is very beautiful.

Is she still dreaming?

Jessie blinks her eyes. The chandelier hasn't disappeared yet, and she can hear her breathing.

Raising her hand, she can see her slender fingers.

Jessie is calm when she realizes that she can see with her own eyes. She slightly tilts her head and

sees a man sleeping beside her, who has charming facial features.

Who is he?

Jessie finds that she has been blind for so long. She is familiar with this man, but now it is as if she

does not know him.

She stares at Leigh quietly. She suddenly remembers the whispers of the two servants in the

afternoon, as well as the words that a strange man told her on the phone the other day.

He brings her into such a miserable position. Why does he bring her back and imprison her beside

him?

Her uncle and aunt died, and her only relatives were gone. Her eyes are gradually filled with hatred.

She quietly lifts the blanket and steps over the man.

Jessie pulls the drawer and sees the knife she put in it a long time ago.

She takes out her knife and pulls it out of its sheath.

The blade is sharp and bright, reflecting her eyes, red but lifeless.
