Chapter 581 - Bait Has Spread

Leila's name has become taboo for Lilia.

Now that they have just returned, much remains to be done.

Currently, she does not have time to travel all the way to Malaysia to find her.

But Lilia still asked further, "Is Leila still with Mike?"

The two of them getting together is really strange.

"Mike is missing." Then, finally, Jean didn't hide it anymore and told her the truth.

Lilia's heart tightened. She looked at him in shock. "Lost?"

"Well, there's nothing to search at this point. Clifford has been trailing Leila for a few more days. If he can't find Mike in the next few days, Clifford will bring Leila back by force."

The man's explanation didn't make Lilia feel relaxed.

She furrowed her brows and kept thinking about Mike's disappearance.

When even someone like Clifford couldn't find out his whereabouts, the situation could be serious.

"That's..." Lilia still wanted to say something, but the man interrupted her by saying, "At first, Mike was a bit resistant to Clifford's presence, but now he's suddenly gone. There's no denying that it has something to do with Leila."

"For this matter, the Austin family and Clifford will report their searching progress to me at any time, so you don't have to worry about it for now."

Mike's impulsivity wasn't helping but rather holding back everyone's effort.

Jean's words sounded somewhat dominating, but Lilia pouted her lips and said nothing more.

Things changed around her so rapidly that none of her plans could keep up with it. She thought she would be on the movie promotion tour until the end. But who would have thought that she would have an accident?

What's more, now that Lilia was pregnant, she wouldn't dare to let herself act impulsively.

She decided to temporarily suppress the restlessness in her heart. Then, after fixing her mood, she looked at the documents on the table and suddenly said, "By the way, when I went up from downstairs, I seemed to see Oliver!"

"Does he recognize you?"

Lilia shook her head and pointed to the folder on the table. "No, I saw that he also had this blue folder in his hands, so he was very careful. He fell after bumping into me, he also looked around for fear of being caught by other people. But I did catch a glimpse of the contents."

Lilia didn't miss the slightest detail.

The man heard what she meant. His eyes darkened. "Kenny is approaching him and intends to recruit him into the company."

Lilia thought Jean was just joking. But after thinking for a moment, she watched carefully. "That means, with him working for us, Oliver also carries the secret and the reputation of Galaxy Real Estate! If we can get him to confess or take advantage of him, we can find out our enemy's steps!"

"If he was any smarter like you, he wouldn't do something stupid like divulging the trade secrets!"

After boasting, Lilia raised her head slightly with pride.

She saw the pile of documents on the table, then remembered that Jean was still working hard when she entered the door. Lilia's eyes waved and pressed against him. "I'm here to accompany you to work until you're finished. Let's hurry up and do it again! When it's done, we'll go home together."

"If you get bored, there is a magazine on the couch."

"I'm not bored, I'm glad to see you at work."

Lilia put sunglasses and a mask in her hand on the couch. She took the magazine and flipped it over. Her eyes fell uncontrolled into the desk.

She thought that she should live with him in the third trimester.

Her stomach would only grow bigger, and the fruit of their love would be born.

This afternoon, Lilia sat in Jean's office and waited quietly for the sun to set, avoiding the annoying trifles outside.

When it was late, she returned to Villa Lakeside with Jean by car.

Immediately before getting out of the car, he closed the door and told Kenny, "Good job."

Kenny was a bit worried when he got praised without reason.

After thinking about it, he pretended to be modest and said, "Thank you for the compliment, president."

No bonuses and wages will be raised?

However, Kenny's answer was the sound of a door slamming.

Kenny sat in the car and saw the husband and wife come home. He was very disturbed.

To earn Oliver's trust during this time, his face almost disappeared.

He had to dip into both cold and hot water for this. It's about their job exchanges. This also directly leads to... the marketing manager he's after now. 

But the woman's reaction was so cold when they met, she even felt that she was being avoided.

He dedicated himself to work, but he could not say much until all these troubles were over.

Kenny was in distress and sighed as he sat in the car.

He is almost 30 years old, when will his true love appear?!

Kenny then drove the car, turned on the music, and listened to a song about love under his colorless life as he left Villa Lakeside.

...

Tonight, the stars were shining, and the night was very bright.

Dina was seen holding the laboratory test sheet in her hands at the hospital, hesitating whether to tell Lilia or not.

Robert is currently treated in the emergency department and is awake, but he does not know his condition.

On the checklist, two words read gastric cancer.

Dina was still hesitant, but the phone she was holding at the moment rang.

"Madame..."

She called her with an honorary title, her tone a little heavy.

At this time, Lilia had just finished taking a shower and was sitting in front of the mirror before remembering to call Dina.

This afternoon, she hasn't heard from her, and she doesn't know what happened.

"How much is the hospital fee? I'll transfer it to you."

Lilia remembered this incident and wanted to pay back the medical expenses that had been previously paid.

Dina was silent for a few seconds. "Ten million in total ..."

Lilia answered, "Just take a photo of the receipt and send it to me. After that, I will transfer the money to your account. Then, what is the situation?"

Finally, Dina looked at the report sheet and couldn't help but think about what the doctor said at that time.

—— 'The situation is a bit serious. If you are not a family member, try telling the family member to come over.'

——'Currently, the cancer has reached the middle and late stages, and there is no sign of metastasis. However, chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be done as soon as possible without delay.'

Lilia held her cell phone and waited quietly, but Dina's long silence made her hesitate. "Dina?"

"Miss, Mr. Robert's situation ... is not very good. Let me send you a photo of the result and send it to you."

Lilia's heart tightened, but she still said yes, and hung up the phone.

She waited in front of her cell phone, waiting for the picture Dina promised, but Dina sent it five minutes later.

When Lilia heard the sound of the cell phone, she opened the picture in no hurry.

She read it a little and saw the last sentence. Her fingers suddenly tightened.

Diagnosis result: gastric cancer.

She thought of many possibilities, but she didn't expect it to happen.

No wonder Dina was so hesitant. Unfortunately, it turned out to be cancer.

Those two words were clearly displayed before her at this moment.

Lilia is sitting in front of the makeup mirror, her eyes fixed on the picture of the test result. No matter how long she stared at it, even when the screen was dim, she touched it and turned it on again.

For more than 10 minutes, she stared at the picture.

Until finally... 

Her cold shoulders were suddenly covered with a pair of warm palms, and the man's gentle tone sounded in her ears. "As long as the cancer doesn't spread, after surgical resection combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, he should be fine."

This sentence made her eyes tremble.

She turned her head and met her husband's gentle, blinking gaze. "How did you know?"

The man's eyes looked at her cell phone screen, and the enlarged image clearly showed the word 'cancer'.
