Chapter 1553: Chapter 1556: Lily covered her mouth, unable to believe
“Mr. Lucas… Mr. Lucas…” the doctor responsible for hypnosis on Mr. Wellington, his face slightly pale.
He is none other than Mr. Lucas’ Chief Physician and hypnotist.
A while ago, he was ‘chased’ by Mr. Lucas’ second personality.
Because Mr. Wellington was aware of Mr. Lucas’ secret, he had no choice but to seek refuge with Mr. Wellington for protection.
As soon as Mr. Lucas saw his Chief Physician, he understood everything.
He was about to scold the other party and forbid him from aiding Mr. Wellington in harming Dylan Wellington.
His gaze shifted to the bed, and the words that had reached his mouth got stuck in his throat.
“He… He is Ian Moore?!”
Mr. Lucas’ usually indifferent and cool features, for the first ti, were split by utter astonishnt.
He couldn’t believe, no matter what, that the person before his eyes was his good brother Ian Moore.
…
anwhile, standing at the doorway, Mr. Wellington struck the floor forcefully with his walking stick.
“Out—” The old man’s voice was cold as he ordered the evacuation, his tone extrely firm.
Lily didn’t know what Aidan Lucas had seen, but knew that this was precisely the mont when she absolutely could not leave.
She pleaded urgently, “Mr. Wellington, Ethan Wilson and I have no other intentions, we are just concerned about Mr. Wellington…”
“I said, out.”
Mr. Wellington disregarded Lily, not sparing her a single glance, his face cold as he ordered the eviction.
Mrs. Wellington saw Lily defeated, and a look of satisfaction imdiately appeared on her face, which had been covered in tears just monts ago.
“If my father-in-law tells you to leave, you should leave quickly. Miss Redington, I have warned you before, although you are Miss Redington of the Reddington family, our Wellington family certainly won’t give the Redington family any special treatnt. If you…”
“Mandy—”
Just then, Mr. Wellington’s voice drifted over.
“I was asking you and Dr. Holbrook to step out first.”
“Father-in-law…” Mrs. Wellington looked incredulously at Mr. Wellington, she couldn’t have imagined that the eviction order was actually directed at her.
Mr. Wellington did not even look at her, his gaze directed straight into the distance.
“I have sothing to say to Ethan Wilson and Miss Redington, the rest of you, please step out.”
Mr. Wellington’s attitude was surprising.
In fact, he sent the others away to prevent them from discovering that the hypnotist was acquainted with Mr. Lucas.
He cared for Mr. Lucas and feared that this would expose the secret of the dual personality.
The smugness that had yet to disappear from Mrs. Wellington’s face was suddenly frozen at the corners of her mouth.
“Fa-father-in-law…”
Mrs. Wellington wanted to say sothing else, but was t with a cold and stern warning in the deep gaze of Mr. Wellington.
Unable to speak, Mrs. Wellington could only dejectedly follow her personal doctor and other servants out.
Once all the extraneous people had left, in an instant, only Lily, Mr. Lucas, Mr. Wellington, the Chief Physician, and the bedridden Dylan Wellington remained.
At this mont, Mr. Wellington finally glanced indifferently at Lily, “Co in.”
Without permission from the old man, Lily had been standing at the doorway, not moving an inch.
She had not followed in with Mr. Lucas earlier.
Aidan Lucas holds a unique place in Mr. Wellington’s heart; even with him barging in face-to-face, Mr. Wellington did not order him out.
But Lily was self-aware; without Mr. Wellington’s permission, she did not move, nor did she presu upon Mr. Lucas’ presence to forcefully follow him in.
Lily did not know.
In fact, it was precisely her sense of when to advance or retreat, not to overstep, that earned her a slight favor from Mr. Wellington.
…
Mr. Wellington walked ahead, and Lily followed behind.
Upon reaching the foot of the bed, a turn around the bed canopy… the man lying on the bed finally entered Lily’s line of sight.
The man, nearly emaciated to the point of disfigurent, lay silently on the large bed.
Lily covered her mouth, unable to believe—
