The doctor carefully examined Lily Turner again, confird that the baby in her belly was fine, and agreed that she could go ho for rest.
Upon learning that she could finally leave the hospital, Lily happily hugged Easton Hols, her charming face brimming with a radiant smile, "Honey! We can finally go ho."
Just the thought of being able to go ho made her extrely excited and happy.
The excitent was evident in the woman’s deanor, and Easton was even more thrilled than she was, because it was the first ti she had actively hugged him so joyfully. Seeing her happy, his mood also beca particularly cheerful.
"Howard bound."
After completing the discharge procedures, Easton took Lily out of the hospital and drove straight to the Military District Compound.
The two of them didn’t go to their own ho but went to her grandfather’s house.
"Old Mr. Linton! Look who’s back!"
Auntie Li, upon opening the door and seeing Easton and Lily returning from the hospital, without much ado, turned her head and happily shouted towards the living room.
Hearing Auntie Li’s joyful call, Callix Linton thought it was his son Michael Linton returning. He quickly got up and walked out of the living room, but when he ca out, it was Easton and Lily he saw.
"What brings you back?"
Not seeing his son left him with so feeling of disappointnt.
"Grandpa! Are you not happy to see us back?" Lily walked over and affectionately looped her arm through Callix’s, "We’ve been gone just one day, and you’re already done with us?"
She tilted her head, examining Grandpa Linton with curiosity, as she noticed a flash of disappointnt in his eyes just a mont ago.
What exactly was Grandpa Linton disappointed about? Could it be he was expecting soone?
To cover up his earlier disappointnt, Callix gently tapped Lily’s forehead, "You little heartless girl! All my recent affection for you was in vain."
Though his words were scolding, his face betrayed a smile that he couldn’t conceal.
"Grandpa! I just got back and you’re already hitting , so it turns out you really don’t like anymore." To match her current mood, Lily imdiately put on a pitiful look, "I’m so pitiful!"
But she couldn’t keep up the act, and after a while, she burst out laughing.
Callix had known all along that Lily was just pretending, but he didn’t want to expose her. He was planning to play along a bit further.
However, before he had a chance to play his part, she had already broken character.
"Girl! Couldn’t you pretend a bit longer? I haven’t even started acting yet." Seeing her return safe and sound made him particularly happy.
"Hmm? Act what?"
Lily looked puzzled, not understanding Callix’s words.
Callix smiled mysteriously, "Guess!"
"How could I guess what you’re thinking, old chap? Just tell , or I’ll waste my brain cells; which are already insufficient." Lily shook Callix’s arm, self-deprecatingly begging him to tell her.
Ding-dong!
At that mont, the doorbell suddenly rang.
At the sound of soone outside pressing the doorbell, the image of Alia Linton flashed through Lily’s mind, and thinking that it might very well be her, the smile on her face vanished, replaced by anxiety.
"Old Mr. Linton! Commander Linton is back."
Just as Lily’s mind was full of Alia, Auntie Li’s excited voice ca from the door. She quickly lifted her head, full of confusion as she glanced towards the entrance, only to see a man in a military uniform walking in.
