Hospital, inside the VIP ward.
Austin Lucas was sitting by the bedside, carefully holding a porcelain bowl, spoon-feeding Lily porridge, one spoonful at a ti.
Fortunately, Michelle Carter did not go too far this ti. The aphrodisiac she bought from the black market would not harm pregnant won and fetuses. Otherwise, even if Mr. Lucas personally dealt with Michelle Carter and her daughter, it would not appease his heart’s rage.
"After finishing this bowl of porridge, sleep well. When I’m not here later, I’ll let Sadie co in to keep you company. Your throat hasn’t recovered yet, so try not to talk if you can."
Since sending Lily to the hospital last night, Mr. Lucas had not once asked what had happened to her.
He didn’t inquire why she was with Austin Lucas at the hotel.
Nor why she was drugged.
For Mr. Lucas, Lily could do no wrong anyway.
The people at fault were clearly Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas, who obviously had the intention of framing her.
His little one, he never doubted her.
Lily knew that Aidan Lucas must have many things to attend to just after his return. Just dealing with the Lucas family alone, it was said they were eagerly waiting for the head of the family to co back for a eting.
But Lily was worried and grabbed onto him, not letting him leave.
"Ah ah...aah..." Her throat was completely ruined, and the doctor said it would take at least a week to recover.
"You don’t want to go?" After carefully wiping her mouth, Aidan Lucas lifted her delicate chin, "Don’t worry, I will be back soon. I promise, at most three hours."
Uncle had been urging him to return, supposedly there was sothing they needed to discuss with him.
Aidan Lucas had an idea; it was likely related to Theodore Lucas.
"Mmm ah, aaah..." Lily shook her head; she wasn’t worried about that.
Lily, anxious, snatched Mr. Lucas’s cell phone.
She quickly typed out a line—"There is a listening device around us, installed by Theodore Lucas."
When Lily saw Mr. Lucas’s slight frown, she deleted it and quickly typed another line,
"They heard your secret through the listening device, the secret between the two of you."
Lily was now sowhat paranoid, even afraid to type out the words ’dissociative identity disorder’.
However, when she typed out ’the two of you,’ Mr. Lucas imdiately understood.
Aidan Lucas’s expression paused for a mont before he said: "Is this the reason why you were locked up with Austin Lucas?"
Despite the urgency of the situation, his main concern was still Lily.
Lily was a bit speechless but still obediently nodded her head.
Indeed, that was the reason she went to see Austin Lucas.
It’s just too bad that now she and Austin Lucas have been brought to the hospital together; the matter must have already been exposed.
Thinking about getting Austin Lucas to retrieve the recording now seed much more difficult.
"Lily, you..."
Just as Lily was feeling frustrated, her body suddenly found its way into Aidan Lucas’s broad and warm embrace.
Mr. Lucas held her tightly, burying his head in the softness of Lily’s hair, his voice choked with emotion, "Fool, fool... Lily, you’re the biggest fool in this world!"
Silly girl, why did you have to risk yourself for him?
Thank goodness Austin Lucas had a change of heart this ti, but what if he hadn’t?!
His problems were not worth her taking any risks for.
Even if soone had leverage over him, even if he lost the position of the head of the family, he was still Aidan Lucas.
But if he didn’t have her, then he was nothing at all.
...
After sharing a tender mont, Mr. Lucas had to leave.
Not long after he left, Lily received a phone call.
"HI, baby... where are you now? Mommy is in A City, and Mommy now thinks Aidan Lucas is a good man. Co pick Mommy up, Mommy wants to pay a visit to the in-laws!"
