"Madam, please rest assured... Miss Sadie is accompanying the Young Lady, nothing will go wrong," seeing Emily Taylor repeatedly rubbing her hands and looking towards the main door, Ellie couldn’t help but comfort her.
Lily suddenly left in the middle of the night, naturally startling Emily Taylor.
Since she received the news, she has been sitting in the middle of the living room, wrapped in an overcoat over her pajamas, waiting for Lily to return.
This wait lasted two hours.
"How can I be at ease? The cell phone has been unreachable, and when I finally got through, the call was cut off. Now Lily’s cell phone is switched off; I have no idea what’s going on..."
Emily Taylor’s eyebrows were knotted tightly as if they were about to tie themselves in a knot.
She was worried about Lily’s safety; she’s still a pregnant woman. If anything goes wrong, who knows what the consequences might be.
"Madam, it’s no use for us to be anxious, should we call the young master instead?"
"No, no," Emily Taylor imdiately interrupted, "Ethan Wilson adores Lily dearly. If he finds out, he might drop everything and co here right away. These days the parliant is re-electing mbers; as Speaker, if he is absent right after taking office, there will be trouble later on."
"Let’s do this... you call Sebastian Lucas VII and Benjamin Lucas IX, and ask them to send soone to look for her. Just sitting here won’t do; I always feel restless..."
Emily Taylor hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly the sound of a car arrived from outside the villa.
"It’s the Young Lady... It must be the Young Lady returning...!!!"
The worried look on Ellie’s face dissipated, and she imdiately went to open the door.
Monts later, Lily walked in with a worried face with Sadie by her side.
"Lily, you’re finally back! What happened, what made you run out in the middle of the night?!"
Emily Taylor helped Lily to sit down on the sofa.
Seeing her pale complexion and the coolness of the back of her hand, Emily didn’t wait for Lily to answer, and quickly instructed Ellie, "Quick, Ellie... bring the soup that’s been warming on the stove for Lily. Poor child... chilled like this."
"Mom, I’m alright, don’t worry," Lily’s brow remained furrowed, more so than before upon returning ho.
"How can it be alright, look at you, your complexion is so poor." Emily Taylor touched the back of her hand, really wanting to ask her what she went out to do so late.
Ever since Austin Lucas ca to the door to pay his respects a few days ago, Emily Taylor’s heart couldn’t stop racing.
After all, Austin Lucas is Lily’s ex-husband; her feelings for him are definitely different from those towards other n.
"Dear child, tell mom... what exactly did you go out to do? You made worry all night."
"Mom, I went to..." Lily suddenly paused.
She realized she couldn’t just tell Emily Taylor like that.
In the Lucas family, there were listening devices; no one knew where specifically, but from today onwards, she and Emily Taylor would have to be careful when speaking.
"Went... where?" Emily Taylor looked at Lily anxiously.
Lily didn’t respond but took out her cell phone and typed a few characters on the screen, passing it to Emily Taylor.
Emily Taylor took the phone and, seeing the few characters displayed, her pupils shrank uncontrollably.
"Shh—" Lily imdiately covered Emily Taylor’s mouth.
She spoke in an indifferent tone: "It was my friend, she got drunk in the restaurant, and a waiter called to take her ho. I have already taken her ho, it’s alright now."
In Emily Taylor’s ears, all she could hear was Lily’s calm and cold voice.
But actually, she couldn’t listen to any words anymore.
Now, in her mind, there was only the one sentence she had just seen—’There is a listening device near us’.
