My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 541 - Forgotten Trouble

Lilia sneered and glanced at him a few times, she then returned to the search page and posted a status to show that she was okay.

Lilia: "Sorry to worry the fans. I'm alright now, please pray for me!"

As soon as the post was sent, it was immediately seen by many fans.

William fans even came to the comment sections and asked about what had happened.

Lilia couldn't answer their questions and had to ignore them.

After answering a few brief questions on social media, she noticed the messages on her cell phone.

She didn't notice until now, it turned out that there were 99+ texts waiting to be opened.

She opened and scrolled through the list, most of them were from people she knew.

At the same time, Merry also texted her and expressed how worried she was.

She sent over 50 messages to Lilia from yesterday midnight to ten minutes ago.

That little girl might have seen the news as well, she was scared of what happened to Lilia for some reason.

Lilia was thinking about replying, but suddenly her phone rang.

The caller's number showed that it came from overseas. Lilia knew this number so well, and so she greeted with comfort as soon as she picked up the call. "Merry, I'm fine."

She could only hear the girl sobbing from across the line. Lilia didn't speak any further, feeling the voice was a bit funny.

The girl didn't even say anything, only crying and hiccups.

"Sis, you scared me to death..."

Merry didn't even go to her lecture during the day, and when she saw the news on the Internet, she almost bought a ticket back.

This time it was related to Lilia's life. She begged Jean so she could come back, but she was ordered to stay in America and was not allowed to return.

Even though Jean had told her that Lilia was safe and sound, it was still not enough for Merry. That girl was so worried about Lilia that she didn't have time to eat at all.

After making so many calls and sending countless messages, she finally heard Lilia's voice. Merry felt like kneeling down and thanked God for it.

"Sis, are you really okay? I want to come back and see you!"

Merry made a request for Lilia to help her come back home.

She smiled faintly, Lilia knew that Merry was just panicking. "Merry, you don't need to come back, I'm fine. If something really happened, I wouldn't have been able to answer your call right now."

On the other side of the phone, the little girl was not talking. Only the sound of her blowing her nose could be heard.

"Sis, I'll come back one day! You have to help me beg my uncle later, okay?"

Lilia rubbed her brows and looked at the man. "Merry, have you spoken to your uncle?"

Merry held her breath and answered with a frown, "I've called him and uncle did not let me return to Indonesia."

"Then you have to obey him! Study well abroad first, then after I recover, I will visit you, alright?"

Merry snorted, her voice sounded so soft as she begged, "Can't you let me come back?"

"Merry…."

"Okay!" Merry scowled, angrily dismissing her thoughts. "If you don't want me to come back, then I can only study here! But sis, can you take care of yourself? You know, I almost died of fear when I saw the news."

"They said that your face was covered in blood and Brother William was squashed to death. Your accident was truly dangerous! Sister, is your face okay?" She asked.

Lilia was a very beautiful supermodel, obviously her face was her asset.

Lilia then smiled and comforted her. "I'm fine, William is... also not dead. Merry, you study hard. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

"Okay," Merry yawned. "Sister, I'm glad you're fine. I'm going to sleep now, I'm so sleepy."

"Okay, sleep and don't worry about me."

After hanging up, Lilia held her cell phone in a daze for a few seconds.

The little girl's sincere and pure feelings moved her heart.

She thought that when her body had recovered completely, she really wanted to go abroad to see her.

Two minutes later, the man opened his hand to her. "It's been ten minutes!"

Lilia just glared at him as she was about to type a message. She turned to look at the man while holding the cellphone in her hand. "You must be lying!"

The man was silent, but he raised his eyebrows and his eyes narrowed dangerously. "Remember, you promise 10 minutes only."

Lilia cleared her throat in a soft voice. "Give me five more minutes?"

"Later when you get better, you can play as long as you want!" The man then snatched his phone from his wife's hand.

Seeing that the phone was taken by the tip of the man's slender finger, she angrily raised her hand and grabbed his wrist. "I can always post something within our circle of friends, right?"

The man didn't speak, Lilia then shook his hand. "Husband come on..."

"Alright alright!"

She successfully got back the phone again. Lilia grinned and opened the screen. Since she was unable to reply to them one by one, she would send a message to the group chat to let her friends know the situation.

Lilia: "Thank you all for your attention. [Love]"

One second later, someone responded.

Chris: "You're welcome."

Unexpectedly, Chris immediately answered.

Alex: "Take good care of yourself. Lilia, get well soon!"

Merry: "Sister, please take care of your health!"

Clifford answered Merry: "Why are you still awake?"

Merry: "Uncle, why did you tell Clifford to go to Malaysia? I'm still not satisfied playing with him!"

At this time, Chris almost exploded after reading the chat.

Did this little girl try to test his patience? How dare she ask openly about Clifford's moves in their group chat area?

A second before her call was picked up, Lilia suddenly saw the man beside her. "Has Clifford arrived in Malaysia?"

Lilia almost forgot about it.

The man put the cell phone back in his trouser pocket then took the cup on the table to fill with warm water. He twisted the straw and handed it to her and said in a deep voice, "He just arrived yesterday. Currently, he's staying at the same hotel as Mike."

Lilia took a sip of the warm water and asked in surprise, "Did you find Mike? What did he do?"

The man's mature and magnetic voice was a little cold. The corners of his lips were curved coldly as he said, "Swim in the mountains and relax with Leila!"

Lilia looked at the man in confusion. "Roaming around the mountains and swimming with her?"

She repeated her husband's answer, only to realize how astounding it sounded.

Jean raised his eyebrows and put the cup of water back on the table. "According to the results of the Clifford investigation, they went there together."

Lilia put her hand on her lower abdomen and stared at the ceiling, but her thoughts continued to swirl.

She didn't know much about Mike, but she instinctively couldn't believe that Mike would do something so pointless.

"Could it be ... did he use himself as bait to lure Leila back?" This thought flashed for a moment, Lilia suddenly felt that everything made sense.

Leila liked Mike. At the moment, it looked like only Mike could get close to her.

It's just... Judging by Leila's character and wickedness, it would be dangerous for Mike to know what her plan was.

Lilia felt more and more scared the more she thought about it.

Seeing his wife's expression constantly changing, the man nodded. "You don't have to worry about things like this for now. If Clifford has found anything new, I'll get to it first."

Lilia was about to say something, but she decided to swallow back her words and locked her mouth.

...

At ten in the morning, the doctor checked Lilia.

Jean walked out of the room, and when he lifted his eyes, he saw Chris leaning against the window sill outside the door with his legs folded.

"When did you come here?" The man walked over while raising his eyebrows. His tone was calm as he asked.

Chris sighed. "Just now. Coming out for a smoke?"

The man nodded.. Then the two of them left the ward side by side with their wide and sturdy backs that looked cold.
