Chapter 432 Misunderstanding
After the divorce, James had indeed given Lily several properties.
But living alone in a huge villa felt far too empty, and if she was honest, a little frightening.
So the afternoon after she was discharged from the hospital, she moved into a spacious high-rise apartment in
the city center.
The complex had excellent security, and she didn’t have to worry about that lunatic John suddenly breaking in to
hurt her.
Not that he could, for now.
She'd heard Ashton had sent him to the police station-fifteen days of detention.
Lily thought it was a pity. Fifteen days, not fifteen years.
The four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment was beautifully decorated, and she had already hired cleaners to
scrub it down. She could move in immediately.
She had barely stepped through the door when her brand-new phone rang urgently.
Seeing Ashton’s non the caller ID, she hesitated, then answered.
“Ashton, you're looking for me-"
She didn’t get to finish before his anxious voice spilled through the line.
“Ms. Lily, you have to csee the boss! It poured all night yesterday-he stood out there almost the whole
time, completely lost. When | found him, he was still standing in the rain like a ghost. He's burning up with fever,
and tonight he’s been drinking a lot... The doctor prescribed medicine, but he won't take it. He won't let anyone
near him for an IV. He just keeps calling your name... Please, I'm begging you, ctalk him into taking his
medicine!”
James had a fever...

Her heart jumped instantly.
But remembering that he had another woman now, she told herself it wouldn't make a difference if she went.
“Ashton, I'm not coming. Even if | did, he wouldn't listen to me. Yesterday morning, | saw a woman on top of
him... | even asked if he was about to marry her, and it seemed like he was. You should find her- instead-maybe
she can talk him into treatment.”
“A woman?”
What woman?
Ashton was stunned for a second-then it clicked.
The woman Lily was talking about had to be Marilyn.
James's constant “Lily, Lily” made it obvious he couldn’t let her go. Ashton wasn’t about to let her keep

believing otherwise.
“Ms. Lily, I think you mean Marilyn, the new secretary | just hired. The old man thought the boss liked women
and toldto keep him away from any male... distractions. So when we hired in the secretary department, |
didn’t dare hire a man. Who knew Marilyn would dare set her sights on him! After you left yesterday, | saw her in
his study. She was the one who threw herself at him-he shoved her away and even threw up from disgust. I've
already fired her, per his orders. Marry her? Ms. Lily, | swear on my honor, aside from one date with sugly
guy with a mole on his face, he’s never been involved with any man or woman. Now he’s cut ties with that guy,
and his heart’s only got room for you. You can’t just leave him like this!”
Ugly guy with a mole...
Lily: “...”
What a coincidence. That “ugly guy” was her.
When she’d walked in on that scene yesterday morning, her heart had felt like it was being torn apart.
She had thought that was the woman James liked-but it turned out she'd been wrong.
“I'm begging you, please csee the boss. If you don’t, he really might drink himself to death!”
Lily’s thoughts were tangled.
Knowing there was nothing between James and Marilyn sparked a secret, guilty joy inside her.
But remembering how, after they'd been so close, James had still said he didn’t want to see her again left her
aching.
She didn’t want to break their agreement or shamelessly show up only to be pushed away.
Yet she couldn't smother the worry

“Good, I'll wait for you at the gate!”
The relief in Ashton’s voice was palpable.
He didn’t dare waste time-he drove straight from the main house to the villa’s front gate to meet her.
The estate was so large that from the front gate to the main house was a long drive.
