My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 172

She didn't ask any more questions and just bolted toward the hospital room.

As she pushed open the door, the room only had Liam and no sign of any cops.

Liam, however, was startled by her abrupt entrance and frowned, "You're so reckless."

Celeste breathed a sigh of relief, twisted open the water bottle, and poured him some water into two paper cups.

Liam watched her actions and suddenly asked, "Where did you go this morning?"

"I went to buy lottery tickets."

Liam...

"Where are the tickets?"

Celeste put down the paper cups, turned on her phone, and flipped to the two photos of the tickets she had taken earlier. She showed Liam, "I spent a long time picking them, I think they'll win a big prize."

Liam looked at the photos, and the cracks on her phone screen were very obvious.

He said, "Every person who buys lottery tickets thinks they're going to win."

"It's important to have dreams."

"That's more like a delusion."

Celeste made a face, "Someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth like you wouldn't understand the significance of lottery tickets."

Liam suddenly said, "If the lottery ticket wins, it would be considered unexpected income. Since we're married, wouldn't half of it belong to me? That makes it meaningful too."

Celeste...

This jerk Liam, she wouldn't cash in the lottery ticket until after their divorce!

"Take your medicine."

Liam took it but didn't move to drink it. Instead, he just looked at her.

Celeste was confused. "What's wrong?"

Liam still didn't open his eyes, but he did respond. "Why would the police look for me?"

Celeste was taken aback. "Didn't you hit someone?"

Liam opened up his eyes. "You think the police came to arrest me?"

"Well, they would have to question you, right?"

"They've already asked." Liam paused, then added, "Right when you went to buy lottery tickets."

"Also, I was acting in self-defense, not hitting someone on purpose. Your drug test results have already been submitted to the police. The lawyer will handle the whole matter."

Celeste still couldn't understand. If those people had knives, why would she dare to scream when they were threatening her with them earlier?

"Come here."

Liam's low voice interrupted her thoughts.
