Elsa had always believed that she and Lily were like the cold, pure moon and filthy mud. Lily, someone like her
thinks she’s worthy of being compared to me.
Now that James was openly siding with Lily, and everyone was praising Lily while criticizing her, of course, she
couldn't take it.
She knew the only way to silence them was to show just how much John cared about her. Only then would people
hesitate to speak against her.
And if she wanted John to feel sorry for her, to believe she had nothing to do with what happened tonight, she
had to show weakness-bleed for sympathy.
“I've never hurt anyone. | have my own pride... | would never be someone’s mistress...”
Just now, she had quietly slipped two blood capsules into her mouth. As she spoke, she bit down hard. Crimson
liquid immediately trickled from the corners of her lips.
Her slim body suddenly swayed, like a broken red rose, trembling as she collapsed to the ground.
“Elsa!”
“Lizzy!”
The moment they saw Elsa cough up blood and faint, John and Simon both panicked, their eyes reddening.
Simon, who wasn’t used to physical contact with women, immediately shoved John toward her.
John caught her firmly in his arms, then turned, eyes bloodshot, and shouted furiously at Lily. “Elsa already said
she had no idea what her mom was planning. She’s proud-she hates bowing to anyone. But she lowered herself
for you tonight, and you still kept pushing her. Now she’s fainted from the stress... Lily, you went too far!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtApologize to Elsa!”
It wasn’t the first tJohn had tried to force Lily to apologize to Elsa.
At first, it had felt like knives twisting in her chest. Now? Nothing. If she felt anything at all toward John these
days, it was that he was seriously unwell.
She was just about to suggest he go see a doctor when James’ voice cut in, laced with obvious sarcasm.
“Coughing up blood and fainting, huh? Elsa really makes it look easy. I'm genuinely curious-what kind of terminal
illness lets you spit blood on command like that? Ashton, bring in the medical team. I'd love to see whether Ela’s
actually dying or just faking it to frmy wife,”
Elsa’s body gave a violent twitch, nearly slipping from John’s arms. She knew James had been completely blinded
by that fox Lily, unable to tell glass from diamond.
But still,
tean, ie couldn’t believe it. He actually suspected her of faking illness and even wanted a medical
to prove it
She hadn’t conceived John's child yet. There was no way she could let him find out she wasn’t actually sick.

Chapter 273 Fake Tears Don’t Count
If James really brought in experts to examine her, she wouldn't be able to keep up the act.
She let out a soft, pained moan, as if the discomfort had roused her from a shallow unconsciousness.
“John my stomach hurts so bad...”
Elsa trembled weakly, like she might stop breathing at any moment. “I really don’t feel well could you taketo
the hospital?”
John didn’t answer right away. Instead, he looked at Lily with a complicated expression.
Lily had humiliated Elsa in front of everyone, and her defiant, rebellious attitude infuriated him.
But now, after what had happened with Wendy, he realized he'd completely misjudged Lily-and treated her
horribly.
Thinking it through, it made sense, tonight, she had suffered because of Wendy. And since Elsa was Wendy's
daughter, it was understandable that Lily might take it out on her.
Softening his tone slightly, though still clearly uneasy, he said. “Lily, Wendy really did cross a line tonight. But
that doesn’t mean you should vent your anger on Elsa. | know you're upset. If you truly don’t want to apologize, |
won't force you. But this has gone on long enough: Stop making a scene. Chwithtonight”
“John, you're absolutely hopeless.”
John was so arrogant and irrational, Lily didn’t even want to argue anymore. Her voice was icy and dismissive.
“Didn’t Elsa ask you to take her to the hospital? Fine. While you're at it, have the doctor check your brain. If it's
beyond saving, maybe just replace it altogether.
“Lily, don’t be ungrateful!”
John had been so certain James wouldn't survive-he thought Lily would ccrawling back to him.
