Chapter 127: I've Had My Say!
Grinning, Dora patted Lily on the shoulder and ushered her in, saying, "Lily, go on in and accompany Miss Patricia.I'll head out and resume with my work first."
Dora then left the room and made her way to the infirmary.
Stepping into Patricia's room, Lily shut the door and walked over to the bed.
Placing the fruit basket down, she expressed her gratitude to Patricia, saying, "Thank you for your help, Miss Sampson."
Shaking her head, Patricia said coldly, "Don't thank me.I simply didn't want to upset Dora."
Dora was such a lovely person, so seeing her sad would tug at Patricia's heartstrings. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Lily once again expressed her gratitude when she heard this.
She knew that she wouldn't have gained entry into Patricia's room if it wasn't for Dora's presence earlier.
Patricia didn't give Lily a chance to regain her senses.
Glancing at her coldly, Patricia said in a low voice, "Did you come here to ask about the plan again?"
Instead of answering, Lily lowered her head in tacit agreement with her words.Seeing this, Patricia couldn't help sneering.
Taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "Lily, is Jayson worthy of you going to such an extent for him? How much do you really know about him?"
Patricia looked pointedly at Lily as she asked this.
‘I don't know much about Jayson myself, but I know he worked directly for the CEO of the Veyron Corp.for a long time.So, if he could easily deceive the CEO, how hard would it be for him to deceive someone as simple- minded as Lily? There is a possibility that he is fooling her too!’
"I..."
AS she started to speak, Lily raised her head to look at Patricia.But before she could finish her sentence, she stopped on second thought.Pursing her lips, she averted her gaze once more.
"If this is about the plan, then I have nothing else to say.In fact, all the information you need is written in it.So, if you don't understand something, it's because you haven't read it carefully," said Patricia as she glanced at Lily.
‘I can't believe that Lily is the kind of person who can't distinguish between right and wrong.She should have been able to see through Jayson for what he really is.He is definitely not as simple as she thinks.’
"Miss Sampson..."
Before Lily could get a word in, Patricia interrupted her.
"Lily, is there any point in Jayson getting his hands on this plan? Do you not know what will happen to him after what he has done?"
The more Patricia spoke, the more emotional she became, causing her to feel a stabbing pain in her back.
Taking a deep breath, Patricia fought to suppress the surge of emotions about to overtake her body and looked over at Lily seriously.
Lily couldn't help but purse her lips as she saw the determination in Patricia's eyes.
A hint of dejection crossed her face as she hesitantly said, "Miss Sampson, things...are not how you think them to be.Jayson...was forced to do this.He had no choice!"
Sneering, Patricia glanced indifferently at Lily.
She was amazed at how stubborn Lily was behaving.
‘He was forced to do this? You're telling me he had no choice but to harm the company that had helped him grow? What could have forced him to do that?’ A fire burned within Patricia's chest as these thoughts crossed her mind.
She dearly wanted to slap Lily and wake her up to show her what was really transpiring around her.
Noticing Patricia's anger, Lily lowered her head unconsciously.
Eyes full of sadness, she had nothing else to say.
Patricia sighed helplessly as she saw Lily like this.
In a soft voice, she said, "I've had my say in the matter.It's up to you to do as you see fit.It's not my place to interfere and stop you.But take my advice.Jayson is not a good person! It's up to you to decide what to do now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Patricia used her eyes to hint to Lily to leave.
‘Besides, I've told Lily what she wants to know.It is now up to her to find the answer from the project plan herself.And if she refuses to see Jayson’s true colors, then that is her business.I've done all I can for her.’
Tears welled up in Lily’s eyes as she stared at Patricia sadly.
Biting her lower lip tightly, she said weakly, "Thank you for your advice, Miss Sampson."
Lily then immediately stood up and left with hunched shoulders.
Patricia sighed as she watched Lily leave.
Lily had worked with her for three years, and before Jayson, they had a good relationship.
But now that Lily had become like this, Patricia couldn't help feeling distressed.
Lily left the ward and made her way to the corner of the corridor.
But before she could enter the elevator, she felt one hand grabbing her by her waist, and another covering her mouth, preventing her from screaming.
Without giving Lily any chance to resist, this person pulled her swiftly towards the stairway.
Just as panic was setting in and Lily thought she had met a bad guy, she heard a familiar voice by her ears.
"Lily, it's me."
Hearing this voice had momentarily stunned Lily, and she subconsciously gave up struggling.
Her brows furrowed in confusion.
‘Jayson? Why is he here?’
As soon as he released her, Lily spun around and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you afraid..."
But before she could finish her question, Jayson sealed her lips with a kiss.
Lily felt suffocated and muddled by the fiery, passionate kiss.
After a while, Jayson stopped.
Wrapping his arms around Lily's waist, he asked, "What about the plan? Did she give you an answer?"
Regaining her senses, Lily opened her eyes and looked at Jayson.
He was no longer the polite, well-dressed Jayson she knew from the Veyron Corp..
He looked quite scruffy, with his hair and clothes a little messy and stubble on his chin.
Seeing Jayson like this, Lily was a little surprised.
She couldn't help but wonder if this was really Jayson.
Noticing the strange look in Lily's expression, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed through Jayson's eyes before he masked it with a gentle gaze.
Deliberately scratching his chin, he said, "Lily, I left in a hurry and forgot to dress up."
Seeing his familiar smile, Lily confirmed that the person in front of her was indeed the Jayson she knew.
She could not help but tightly grasp his clothes as if she was clinging to him.
As Jayson noticed Lily's intention, a trace of disgust flashed through his eyes before disappearing.
Gently touching Lily's shoulder, he asked in a soft voice, "Lily, how's it going with the plan?"
At his question, Lily raised her eyes slowly and looked at Jayson gently.
She said, "Miss Sampson said that all the information we need is in the plan.We only need to read through it carefully, and we'll be able to find out what we want to know."
Hearing this, Jayson’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Lightly shaking Lily's body, he asked softly, "Are you telling me the truth?"
Lily nodded as her face became serious.
She believed that Patricia would not lie to her; thus, her words must have been true.
However, Jayson didn't think this way.
He felt that Patricia must have hidden something from them.
And evidently, she was not willing to tell Lily everything.
It seemed that he needed to do something, or it would be meaningless to just have such a useless plan in his hands.
Suddenly, a trace of cruelty flashed through Jayson‘s eyes, making him seem like a completely different person.
Lily trembled as she looked at him in fear.
Seeing Lily's reaction to him, Jayson immediately returned to his usual gentle persona and hugged her.
"Lily, thank you," he said.
But a cunning smile flashed across his face.Lily nodded slightly but didn't notice the devious smile on Jayson's face.
