The Villain's Wife Chapter 440 Uneasy

The Villain’s Wife 440 Uneasy

The last thing that Lily rembered before losing her consciousness was the loud explosion that shook the car.

She rembered the taste of blood in her mouth. By then, her consciousness was already hanging by a thread.

And then there was peace, a deafening silence.

When Lily woke up again, it was already morning.

Or that’s what she thought when the sunlight assaulted her vision the mont she opened her eyes. She imdiately frown as the sll of disinfectant reached her nose. Her first instinct was to move her head. However, a sharp pain shot through her spine. She winced. Then she heard a beeping sound next to her. This ti, Lily carefully looked at the machine to her left.

Hospital? Yet the brown velvet curtains and the chandelier a few feet away makes little sense. She imdiately wondered if Zhou Jingren brought her to a private villa. Perhaps a place that he own away from Hong Kong?

Lily’s face contorted when she opened her mouth. Her throat ached. Was it even possible to have a throat as dry as hers? She forced herself to utter a word, to no avail. Her tongue seed to have lost all its ability to move. It just sat there, as dry as a dessert at the bottom of her mouth. She craved water.

Lily tried to clear her throat, half of herself hoped that she could while the other half told her that it would only cause her pain. She tried to move her arms and flinched as she felt a throbbing discomfort increase just like waves, threatening to tear her flesh from inside out. A single tear rolled down her cheeks when she felt the pain down her legs, lancing through her head.

She bit her lips, preventing herself from screaming out.

"You are awake." Lily stilled. Despite the pain, she shifted her head, eyeing the woman approaching her. "I will give you more pain relievers, then I will call the doctor. Don’t worry, this is for your burns." The nurse said. As if reading Lily’s mind, the woman handed her a glass of water. A kind smile blossod in the woman’s wizened face as she helped her drink the water.

Lily nodded at the woman, her gaze placid. However, inwardly, all the bells in her mind were ringing. Her English accent was thick. Lily guessed she is from Russia or perhaps Germany. She tried to recall if Zhou Jingren ntioned having contacts in those countries. Nothing ca to mind. But there is also the possibility that they hired a foreign nurse.

"Call Anna." The woman smiled. After a few minutes, Anna bid her goodbye and told her that she will call the doctor to examine her.

Lily pursed her lips. She wanted to say sothing, asked her to call Zhou Jingren. Yet her instincts told her not to. Slowly, she felt her heart raced against her chest. She stared at the ceiling, her eyes devoid of any expression. To be honest, not seeing Zhou Jingren the mont that she opened her eyes made her uneasy.

Was he busy with the company?

Was he trying to find out who caused the explosion?

Questions upon questions made her head ache. After a few more minutes, Anna ca back with two n. Still, Lily did not say a word. She examined the man wearing a stethoscope around his neck and imdiately concluded that she does not know him. The second man, however, was a bit familiar. Lily was sure that she had seen the man sowhere.The doctor and Anna started examining her.

Their Polish dialect surprised her. She was no expert in Polish, but she imdiately recognized the language when she heard it. It was because she heard George spoke the language with her grandmother before.

"Miss... do you know what happened to you?" the man accompanying the doctor asked in the sa thick accent. She shook her head in response. Lily is not a fool, she could imdiately feel that sothing is definitely wrong with these people. The man’s lips thinned as he glanced at the doctor. "Do you know... who you are?"

Lily looked at him before she nodded. While Lily could pretend that she had amnesia, she chose not to do it. In the first place, Lily is not an expert in dicine and she would not want these people to scrutinize her further because of her so-called ’amnesia’. "I am Lily Facci- Qin." She answered.

While she could not pretend that she has amnesia, Lily was smart enough to know that there is a condition known as selective amnesia. This is a win-win for Lily. First, she could use this to prank Zhuo Jingren. Punish him for not being here the mont that she woke up. Second, if she was captured, she could use this to her advantage to protect her man.

The fact that all she had been thinking all this ti was her husband made her smile inwardly. Had she really fallen that hard?

"Qin?" the man asked and started speaking in polish again. Then both of them walked out of the room without bidding Lily goodbye.

"I’m sorry about that." Anna smiled. "The drug should show its effects soon. You will feel sleepy. Don’t worry, you will feel better when you wake up."

"Where am I?" Lily asked, ignoring the woman’s words.

"I’m sorry. I am not allowed to talk about this." Anna said. "I should go now." She strode out of the room.

Lily forced a sighed out of her mouth. A small movent would make her body ache. She knew it was the burns. However, this was the least of her concern right now.

For so reason, their language reminded her of Jack’s face. Jack’s mother was from Poland. It would not surprise her that he is fluent in polish too. Was it possible that Zhou Jingren asked for Jack’s help to treat her?

The thought only made Lily frown. There is no way that Zhou Jingren would ask for Jack’s help. She knew that her husband does not like Jack. Moreover, there was also Fernando who is acquainted with a lot of influential people in both Europe and the US. Why would he ask for Jack’s help when he could always ask Fernando?

Lily pursed her lips and let out another sigh. Without seeing her husband, she could not help her mind from running around. What if... he really asked for Jack’s help? But what if he didn’t? All the possibilities only made Lily’s head ache even more.
