"I... I will..."
I will fight to the death with them!
The rest of her words were left unsaid, but Emily Taylor was startled by her own thoughts.
So it turned out that Sylvia Scott wasn’t being excessive—she had been the one to cross the line.
If she were Sylvia Scott, if soone accused Aidan Lucas of being immoral, if soone claid Lulu had betrayed others, she would probably behave just like Sylvia, wishing she could slap the accuser into oblivion.
"Aidan..." Emily Taylor panicked, but the words she shouldn’t have said had already slipped out.
The people she shouldn’t have offended had already been offended.
Emily Taylor actually understood deep down that the guilt was her own.
Because she had been betrayed by Theodore Lucas before, she now found it hard to trust Lily and Austin Lucas.
Thinking back now, Austin Lucas had been carried out covered in blood.
If he and Lily truly intended to be involved, things would never have turned out like this.
Coming to this realization, Emily Taylor finally mustered the courage to say to her son: "Aidan, you’re right. I was the one at fault. Co with to the hospital; I think I owe Lily an apology."

Aidan Lucas’s heartfelt words helped Emily Taylor realize her mistakes.
But sotis, once harm is done, a re "sorry" isn’t enough to erase it.
Emily Taylor might not have understood this before.
But when she and Aidan Lucas found themselves blocked outside the hospital room, she finally understood.
...
The hospital’s security had been entirely replaced by Reddington family personnel.
Two rows of rcenaries stood inside and outside the room.
Sadie stationed herself at the suite door outside the patient room.
Looking at Emily Taylor, Sadie grinned maliciously: "Mr. Lucas, Mrs. Lucas, I’m sorry... But Madam said that Miss needs rest right now and won’t be seeing outsiders."
"We’re not outsiders..." Emily Taylor said anxiously.
Sadie stood her ground and replied, "Who says you’re not? This morning, I personally heard Mrs. Lucas tell us to make sure Miss leaves Mr. Lucas. What’s the matter—Mrs. Lucas’s words are supposed to be ignored, just dismissed like air?"
"I... Sadie, that’s not what I ant..."
Emily Taylor was on the verge of tears, unable to believe that Sylvia Scott had banned Lily from seeing them within just half a day.
If it had been any other ti, they could have slowly smoothed things over.
But now, they urgently needed the Reddington family’s support.
If her morning commotion ended up costing Aidan Lucas this crucial alliance, she truly wouldn’t even have room for regret.
Aidan Lucas stood behind Emily Taylor with an indifferent expression, neither speaking up for her nor intervening.
Emily Taylor had made her mistakes, and she would naturally have to bear the consequences herself.
"Sadie, could you go inside and tell Lily that I’m here with Aidan? Lily is a good child; if she knows we’ve co, I’m sure she’ll want to see us..."
Emily Taylor was still trying to sweet-talk her way through when suddenly the hospital room door opened.
Emily Taylor thought it was Lily coming out, and her face lit up with hope.
However, instead of Lily, the person who erged was a young woman Emily Taylor didn’t recognize.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, but her eyes were peculiar, with dark circles that made her look like a panda.
"And you are..." Mr. Lucas narrowed his eyes as he coldly addressed Monica, who was elegantly approaching.
"Hi, handso. Long ti no see."
Monica greeted Aidan Lucas with a wink.
"Surprised to see , aren’t you? Originally, if you managed to et , it would an you’d passed Madam’s test and could marry Miss into your family."
"Ah, but alas..."
Monica sighed deliberately, turning her gaze toward Emily Taylor.
"It’s a pity that your mother was so unreasonable, daring to accuse Miss of ’betrayal’ right in front of Madam. Madam is famously protective, and now that Miss has been humiliated like that by your mother, Madam has already decided to take Miss back to Europe."
