Chapter 804: Chapter 807: Terrifying Truth (5) (Extra 1)
“So… Miss, are you suspecting that the child isn’t actually Simon Taylor’s?”
Blake wanted to say that he had also harbored such suspicions when he heard the news.
“No. My uncle is very shrewd; he would never make such a low-level mistake.”
A man who could instigate the entire Taylor family couldn’t possibly be fooled by such tricks.
It’s been three years since the child was born. If there was a falsehood, Rowena Gray would have been dealt with by Simon Taylor long ago. How could she be as arrogant as she is now, swaggering around on the outside?
Based on her sparse interactions with Simon Taylor,
...
Simon didn’t seem to be the kind of man who would let lust cloud his judgnt.
“Then you an…” Blake was truly at a loss now.
Lily didn’t answer; she just felt as though there were so vague thoughts in her mind.
But if she really had to articulate them, she couldn’t.
Anyway, she might as well call it a woman’s intuition.
She felt that there might be sothing wrong with Rowena’s child.
“Regardless, go and check it out for first. Oh, and if you know soone at the hospital where Rowena gave birth, you could also look into that.”
“Okay, I understand. Miss, don’t worry. I will take care of this matter for you.”

One day later, Blake had not yet returned any ssages.
And Aidan Lucas remained silent, giving no response at all.
It was Lena Hammond who, after getting a nutrient injection and resting for another night, recovered very well.
Now that her emotions had just stabilized, she requested a eting with Lily.
“Lena…”
Lily sat by the hospital bed, seeing Lena’s complexion with a bit more gentle color than the day before, and felt sowhat relieved.
Lena sat up in bed, holding her hand, “I’m sorry Lily, I was too agitated yesterday. Did I hurt you?”
Although her mory of the previous day was brief, she rembered that in her agitated state, she seed to have inadvertently scratched Lily.
Lily shook her head, consoling her, “No, I wasn’t hurt.”
When she ca to see Lena, she deliberately wore a light cardigan over her skirt, fearing that Lena would feel guilty if she saw the scars on her forearm.
“Really, it’s okay?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
“Well, that’s good. I’m sorry, Lily… I was too excited yesterday. I have cald down now, and while I’m still sowhat emotionally stable, I must tell you everything that’s happened recently. The shareholders’ eting is tomorrow, and I’m afraid there won’t be enough ti.”
Lena gripped her hand tightly.
It seed like if Lily refused the next second, she might beco frantic again.
“Sure, go ahead,” Lily maintained a calm deanor deliberately.
Before coming in, the doctor had told her that Lena’s post-traumatic stress disorder was sowhat more severe than they had anticipated.
An emotional outburst could worsen her condition, so it’s best not to agitate the patient until she is treated.
The best course of action was to avoid ntioning past sorrows.
If it must be ntioned, it is imperative to keep a stable mood and talk to her.
Lily had no idea what Lena had actually been through.
Lily could only do her best to tell herself to stabilize her emotions and listen to Lena’s story.
However, what she didn’t expect was,
As soon as Lena opened her mouth, she dropped a bombshell.
She listened as Lena said calmly to her, “Lily, I was raped.”
“…”
What?
Raped!
Lily was completely stunned, unable to snap out of her extre shock.
Lena wasn’t in a hurry, watching her, waiting for her to digest the news.
