My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)
Chapter 52

Chapter 52

“It’s…” Lily pursed her lips. “I’ve never seen it before either.”

Shaun was speechless. He had never been astounded by anyone but Loid, Lily was the second person to accomplish that.

Jufter being silent for a long while, Loid tapped her head twice. “There are two people in need of treatment. I’ll personally pay for one of them. If you save him, I’ll give you ten

billion dollars.”

Loid had plenty of money. If Lily needed money, he would give it to her.

However, after spending so much time with Lily, Loid noticed that she was quite proud

She wouldn’t accept things from others for nothing. Even if he offered her 70 billion dollars, she would decline. He might as well give her work to do.

Lily’s eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up straight. “No problem.”

The glint in her eyes did not escape Lold’s notice. He smiled. “The other person is in Bridgeport. The rate might not be as high. I’ll try to get it to rivebillion dollars for you.”

After a pause, Loid added, “He’s been paralyzed for over a decade. Be prepared.”

Once Lily heard that she had work to do, she became spirited. Resting her chin on her palm, she pondered before asking, “If I successfully heal him, will I get more?

Loid raised his brow. “He’ll have to give you more for my sake.

He had underestimated Lily. She was quite confident in her medical sids.

“Alright then. I’ll take it.”

Loid glanced at Lily, his smile widening. “There’s another way to earn money that you may consider.”

Lily looked up at him, signaling him to continue.

“I heard that you disabled the Dalton family’s scion’s leg?” Loid lit a cigarette and leaned against the seat. His posture was rather languid.

“Yes.” Lily’s response was matter–of–fact

“You could choose to heal his leg 1 The Dalton family could probably give you ten billion dollars,” Loid drawled.

Lily rubbed her chin and nodded. “That’s a good idea.”

Shaun was at a loss for words. He thought that Loid and Lily were truly a couple. One of them was two–faced while the other was cunning

Lily’s mood had Bifted, and her expression was no longer as cold.

Shaun stared at Lily, blinking hard. It was the first time he had seen Lily so happy. She had always been as cold as Loid. He thought she looked beautiful when she smiled.

As Shaun’s thoughts continued, he suddenly felt a cold gaze pointed at lum. He shuddered and withdrew his gaze. “Lily, you could use Loid’s money, so why not?”

As Shaun spole, he patted his chest. He thought Loid was petty for not letting him even look at Lily.

“I prefer to cam my own money.” Lily was in a good mood, so she did not take a dig at Shaun

Impressed by that answer, Shaan said nothing more,

1/1

Shaun was the one who chose the restaurant. He was a foodie. After several months in Lagersfield, he had tried all of the local delicacies

The food at the restaurant be recommended was not half bad.

Midway through the meal, Lily’s phone rang After glancing at the screen, she walked out with her phone.

Loid was sitting beside her. He had taken a cursory glance at her phone. There was no caller ID on the screen, only a string of numbers.

Once he saw the number, his eyes narrowed. He had a good memory, and that number was somewhat familiar to him.

Loid looked toward the entrance and then withdrew his gaze.

*Loid, are you really going to let Lily treat him?” Shaun had waited until Lily had left before he asked the question. “Is her medical expertise so great that she can revive the dead?” Shaun poured a glass of beer. After noticing that Lily always drank beer, he started drinking it too. He found it quite pleasant once he got used to the taste

After taking a sip, Shaun continued, “Nell said not. If she can’t heal him, and it’s exposed…”

only Shadowbane can bring the dead back to life. If Lily is Shadowbane’s apprentice, she might be able to do that. But it she’s

Loid gently drummed his fingers on the table. His stem expression showed little emotion. After mulling it over for a while, he said, “Let her try” She sighed and took a few gulps of beer in frustration. “Alright, it’s your call.”
