Chapter 440 - Suspicious Water Bottle

Using her fingertips, Lilia traced the outline of her husband's face little by little. Before Jean could speak, Lilia let out a breath. "It is said that a handsome face always brings disaster, but why don't I want to let you go?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Kenny suddenly coughed as he secretly eavesdropped.

He felt that Jean wasn't a disaster, he was clearly a tyrant!

When Lilia heard the cough, she couldn't help but laugh. "Do you also agree with me, Kenny?"

Kenny didn't dare turn his head nor answer. "....."

At this time, Jean was folding his legs but then slammed his shoes behind Kenny's chair. He warned in a deep voice, "Drive well."

Kenny immediately straightened his back, he gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and answered loudly, "Yes sir!"

This cute scene eased the tension that Lilia felt.

She giggled then leaned on her husband's shoulder with a smile. Lilia then folded her arms around his waist, held his hands, stretched the man's knuckles and clasped his fingers.

The man held her back, staring into his wife's half-closed eyes. He then lowered his head slightly to kiss the woman's forehead and said in a nosy tone, "Are you worried that she might come back?"

Lilia tightened her fingertips and nodded slowly. "I'm worried since she's too persistent to get you. Honestly, I don't want to face her again. Now that I may succeed in preventing her from getting to you, what will happen next? I don't want to lose you."

Her obsession with Jean was almost at an extreme level. But then her mind drifted to Sasha as she thought of the punishment the woman received today. Could all these make her give up on Jean?

The man chuckled and rubbed his wife's palms comfortably. He turned his gaze to the cold night outside the window and said in a reassuring tone, "That woman has absolutely no chance."

Right, there would never be another chance.

This was also the reason why he prevented the security guard from entering and looking for Anthony. 

Hearing this, Lilia's mood was a little inexplicable. She lifted her head from the man's shoulders and her eyes shone brightly. "Why are you so sure?"

The man lifted his lips and said lightly, "Anthony is a potential groom arranged by Samuel and he sneaked into the presidential suite earlier. He must have heard all of our stories from the start. After we left, he might've gone to see Sasha."

Lilia was stunned and an idea suddenly came to her mind. She looked at the man in surprise. "Is this good news?"

"Maybe?" Jean's tone became slightly hesitant, his eyes fixed on the tips of Lilia's slender white fingers. His deep voice was mixed with a gentle tone as he said, "Anthony is the heir to the Peter family and Sasha will go with him if she marries him. Isn't this good enough?"

Although Jean didn't have a detailed understanding of the Peter family, he more or less understood them in the basics.

It didn't matter whether Sasha would still chase him or not, that girl could no longer approach him.

...…

Half an hour later, the two of them had returned to Lakeside Villa.

Lilia had been thinking hard about Sasha for the past two days, and the moment when she got home, the feeling of fatigue hit her right away.

She walked into the living room as she rubbed her sore brow. When she poured a glass of water, she heard Jean looking at his phone behind her.

Lilia shifted her gaze subconsciously, but at this time, Jean's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Lilia's heart somehow clenched at Jean's expression. Seeing him hang up, she immediately stepped forward and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

The man pursed his lips. "Alex and Chris had a car accident!"

"!!!" 

Lilia could only be dumbfounded and forgot to react. How could this have happened so suddenly?

When they parted ways before, Alex left with Chris.

"Where did the accident happen? Is this information true?" Lilia asked. Jean shook his head slightly, he didn't want to worry his wife too much. Then he said in a comforting tone, "Their wounds weren't that bad, even the one who contacted me was Chris. ButI'll go check them out  just in case, you better…"

Obviously, Jean wanted Lilia to rest at home.

Lilia shook her head without hesitation, she turned around and walked towards the sofa to get her jacket. She tried to hide her tired face and smiled at her husband. "Let's go together! I don't want to be alone at home."

Jean seemed to try to stop her but Lilia was already walking towards the door.

The woman had a firm attitude and it was clear that she wanted to go visit her husband's two friends.

Seeing this, Jean couldn't help but sigh silently. The two of them then walked out in the moonlight together.

...… ..

Since Kenny's job was finished when he sent them home, Jean was forced to drive alone to the hospital.

According to Chris, the accident site was located at an intersection less than two kilometers from the Minerva Hospital.

Alex might've intended to drive Chris to the hospital for outpatient treatment, but for some unknown reason, the two of them had an accident on the road.

They were very close to the hospital so the ambulance could arrive on time. The scene of the incident had been cleaned and Alex's car had been brought back to his house by his men.

When Jean and Lilia arrived at the hospital, it was already nine o'clock at night.

In front of the emergency room, Lilia saw Chris' back against the wall and one hand against his chest. His head was limp and he was seen holding a mineral water bottle that looked familiar.

Jean stepped forward with his head held high, he looked towards the emergency room's door with cold eyes and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?"

When Chris heard his footsteps, he slowly raised his head and looked into the man's cold eyes. He tugged at the corners of his lips and said sarcastically, "I'm really lucky, otherwise I might've breathed my last tonight."

Was their accident this serious?

Lilia stood beside Jean and continued to stare at Chris. Seeing that the man was badly traumatized, Lilia ventured to ask. "Are you hurt?"

Chris looked at Lilia with a worried look. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "I am fine. Earlier, our car suddenly hit the side of the road, and Alex suddenly lost consciousness while driving."

"How come?" At this time, Jean's eyes suddenly fixed on the mineral water that Chris brought.

That bottle…. It was the one from Sasha's room.

Nobody drank it at the time, Alex was the only one to take it before they left.

At this moment, Chris was clearly aware of Jean's gaze. He raised his hand with a sneer and shook the water bottle he was carrying. "From the start of the banquet until now, Alex has only drunk this bottle of water."

After he finished speaking, he tightened his brows in annoyance. He then added, "On our way back, Alex continued to breathe fast. I thought the incident earlier had affected his mood, so I didn't ask too many questions. While driving, he suddenly passed out and the car immediately went out of control and we hit the side of the road,"

His explanation left Jean and Lilia silent for a long time.

There really seemed to be a problem with the mineral water, but…. Wasn't that hotel owned by the Wibowo family?
