Lily Turner was completely unaware of Aunt Li searching everywhere for her. In her hurry to get back ho, she didn’t even consider it. She just wanted to quickly check the situation and return before Easton Hols ca back.
But what she hadn’t anticipated was that Easton Hols had already called Alice Turner before she even reached ho.
"What on earth happened?"
As soon as Alice Turner answered the call, Easton Hols’s first question was what had happened. There was no unnecessary small talk.
Since it was her first ti talking to Easton Hols on the phone, Alice Turner didn’t imdiately recognize his voice. Just as she was about to ask who he was, she suddenly realized.
"Your mother just ca to our house."
Once she realized that the man on the other end was Easton Hols, Alice Turner imdiately changed what she was going to say.
She wanted to say that his mother caused a scene at their house, but she thought that would embarrass him and potentially implicate Lily Turner, so she restrained herself from revealing the actual situation.
Even though Alice Turner’s words were vague, Easton Hols on the other end had already guessed the general situation. He knew his mother well enough to understand that she wouldn’t let things go without causing trouble.
"You should still be at your mom’s place, right? When Lily cos over later, please help keep an eye on her; I’m heading over imdiately to find her." Easton Hols had thought, based on a previous phone call relayed by Thomas Fisher, that sothing had happened to Alice Turner herself, but he never expected that his mother had gone to make a scene at the Turner Family’s house.
From his understanding of Lily Turner, she would definitely rush back upon hearing the news.
Her family was undoubtedly furious right now, and they would likely vent their anger on her. Given that she was pregnant, any mishap could endanger both her and the child.
With these thoughts, Easton Hols imdiately hung up the phone, grabbed it, and quickly left his office. He drove swiftly toward the Turner Family’s house.
anwhile, Lily Turner was also on her way to the Turner Family’s house. Along the way, she was trying to think of a way to handle the situation, but despite thinking until her head hurt, she couldn’t co up with a good solution.
As she saw the house coming closer, her heart filled with urgency and anxiety. In the midst of her worry, she suddenly saw Alice Turner walking out from the courtyard.
Why is my sister coming out? Could it be that she was driven out by Mom?
No, this issue doesn’t even concern my sister. She’s just trying to help .
Besides, Mom has always been so good to her. How could she bear to drive her out? In all these years, I’ve never seen Mom get angry at her once.
The car stopped as it reached its destination.
Lily Turner paid the fare and, full of uncertainty, got out of the car. Seeing her alight, Alice Turner walked briskly toward her.
"You really ca back? Didn’t I tell you not to co back now? Why are you so disobedient?" As soon as she got close, Alice Turner scolded Lily Turner, but her words were filled with concern and worry.
Lily Turner linked arms with Alice Turner as she approached and smiled lightly, pretending to be relaxed: "I ca back to take my punishnt. Otherwise, how else would mom calm down?"
It was only by receiving this scolding herself that her mom might calm down and let it go. Otherwise, she’d never have a peaceful life.
Even if she couldn’t have peace, she wouldn’t drag others into it.
"Could you stop smiling?"
Lily Turner’s smile made Alice Turner feel particularly uncomfortable and distressed.
