30 Days of Passion and Revenge-Chapter 58: Medical Assessment

Ethan’s warm palm touched her forehead to check for fever, and finding none, he spoke urgently, "Lily! Where exactly does it hurt?!"

"Nowhere, I’m fine." Lily lowered her head and desperately wiped away her tears, not understanding why they fell more fiercely the more she wiped.

"Press the elevator down." Ethan coldly instructed.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Blackwood." The female manager hurried to press the floor number.

"No, no need." Lily anxiously stepped forward to hold the female manager, not caring how terrible she looked with tears all over her face. "I’m okay, I just..."

"What just happened?" Ethan stared at her darkly as if he wouldn’t let her go without a reason.

Under his gaze, Lily felt compelled to give a reason, her thoughts stiffly turning. After wiping her tears, she made an excuse: "I suddenly thought of my father."

Ethan’s expression momentarily froze.

"Your father..." The female manager stood opposite, tentatively asking, handing her a tissue.

Lily took the tissue and smiled at her gratefully, her voice still a little choked. "My father has been in prison for almost nine years. The outside world is changing rapidly, but he becomes more haggard every day inside... I just lost control thinking about him."

She’s getting better at making up lies now.

Such reasons even convince her.

Is she... becoming worse and worse?

"I’m sorry." The female manager immediately said apologetically, "I’ve brought up your sad past."

"It’s nothing."

Lily maintained her perfect smile and shook her head, not minding.

There was nothing to it anyway.

She had survived the ruin of her family.

She had lived under someone else’s roof for nine years.

She had been enduring as the devil’s mistress.

It was just seeing Alex and Alice kissing, so what? They were an engaged couple, and kissing was the most normal thing...

Why was she crying? What was there to shed tears for...

"Come here."

Suddenly, Ethan put his hands on her shoulders and turned her to face him. His expression was gloomy. He took a tissue and gently wiped her face bit by bit, his fingertips so soft that it didn’t seem like him.

"I’m fine." After saying this, Lily couldn’t help but sob.

All the tears on her face were wiped clean, and Ethan roughly pulled her into his arms and hugged her, holding the back of her head with one hand, making her lean on his chest.

All the tears on her face were wiped clean, and Ethan roughly pulled her into his arms and hugged her. Holding the back of her head with one hand, she leans on his chest.

Just like the last time, she was desperate and helpless at the kindergarten. Ethan’s embrace... gave her a strange warmth again.

He was an evil man, yet he made her crave his warmth at this moment.

It was a temperature that could make her forget everything at this moment.

"Welcome——"

The VIP room was on a high floor, a first-class decorated box. Four tall beauties in uniforms stood by the box door smilingly, welcoming them in.

On the long stage made of crystal, a dozen men’s and women’s mobile phones were displayed, each a fine piece.

They were dozens of times more exquisite in appearance in terms of material and shape than the mobile phones on the market.

The female manager, Betty, quickly determined Ethan’s taste and introduced two couples’ mobile phones, one white and one black.

"These are the latest couple’s mobile phones launched by Apple. They are limited edition, and there are only twenty in the world, and we only have this pair here."

"Lily!" Ethan turned his head to call her.

Lily’s thoughts were still lingering just now. Standing beside Ethan, she was in a daze, and when she heard him calling her, she hurriedly brought her thoughts back.

Her gaze fell on the delicate white mobile phone. Lily rarely saw such a beautiful mobile phone, and she was about to pick it up to have a look. But the numbers on the price tag next to it dazzled her eyes.

What was with that series of 0s? Without a decimal point...

Don’t tell her this mobile phone is more expensive than buying a whole community...

Seeing her gaze still on the mobile phone, Ethan thought she liked it and said, "These two mobile phones are it."

Lily gasped.

Just buy it like that?!

Indeed, the rich’s value concept is different. Lily doesn’t need to feel bad for him because it’s his money.

"The latest Apple mobile phones glimmered in the sunlight, boasting diamonds intricately embedded around the back. These are the new features that distinguish them from other mobile phones. Would you like me to introduce them to you?" The female manager smiled with joy.

"No." Ethan coldly refused, picked up the white female mobile phone, and threw it at the female manager. "I need to set a GPS for the female model, directed to this male model."

"Does it only need to set a GPS for this male model?" The female manager was stunned momentarily, and her gaze glanced at Lily strangely.

"Yes." Ethan was unyielding, "Is there a problem?"

She was a pet kept in captivity. She could only contact the owner unilaterally and couldn’t even wag her tail to others.

"No problem, of course, no problem." The female manager’s face was full of joy. "Our service is first-class. I’ll let the technical staff set it up and deliver it to your residence. Please leave your address, Mr. Blackwood."

Ethan casually recited a series of addresses and left with Lily.

"Go home?" As soon as they left the VIP room, Ethan asked.

"Ah? Are you asking me?" Lily was taken aback momentarily, not entirely used to it for a while.

Was he asking her if she wanted to go home? When did this man learn to ask for other people’s opinions?

Or is it a special favor because she was sick and crying?

She was immediately surprised when she was slapped on the head, and Ethan’s face was gloomy and irritable. "What else?"

"Oh," Lily responded gloomily, combing her disheveled long hair.

They had only spent a few minutes buying a mobile phone here. If Alex and Alice had yet to leave the building, she wanted to avoid bumping into everyone under such circumstances.

It would be the most embarrassing moment of her life.

"Go to the top floor." After thinking about it, Lily smiled and pointed upwards. "Didn’t you say you can see the city’s night view from the top floor? I want to go see."

"Okay."

Ethan had no objections, hugged her, and walked to the elevator. His hand touched her forehead again, felt the temperature, and then let go.

Lily couldn’t help but look up at his stern face, a complex feeling welling up in her heart.

This man always hugged her when she was vulnerable...

And always gave her the worst revenge when she was calm...

She became increasingly unsure about her feelings toward Ethan. Was it disgust? Or hate?

Or... gratitude?

The Hilton Hotel’s top floor is a magnificent dining sanctuary. Staff plays the violin on-site, letting the sound of the piano linger in the comfortable dining environment.

Lily chose a window seat and sat down, looking out the window. As the female manager said, the whole city panorama was in sight. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

She wondered if her hometown with Alex was as beautiful as the panorama.

"Sir, Miss." The waiter brought up the gold-painted menu; his hand was horizontal to the telescope area on the side. "If you like the night view, you can better appreciate it over there."
