Chapter 83
After school, Lily received a call from Belinda right after she hopped into Loidâs car. Belinda said to her, âLily, please drop by the hospital after school I need to talk to you
Belinda didnât sound quite like herself. Squinting curiously, Lily replied coldly, âWill do â
Lold, who sat beside Lily, overheard the conversation. He took her hand and informed her in a hoarse voice, âPeople from the Martinez family met with your grandmother today.â
She tilted her head and stared at him for a while. Then, she flashed a frosty smile at him. âAlright!â
Sicting in front of the car, Shaun couldnât help but finch when he sensed the growing rage in Lily. He decided to keep his mouth shut and avoid trouble
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the hospital entrance. Lily and the others went right over to Belindaâs ward.
Belinda fell into a short silence when she saw Loid. Then, she slowly suggested, âMr. Laurier, can you and your friends give us some space? I need to have a private talk with Lily.â
Loid was fine with that âSure.â He left the ward with Shane and Daniel
Lily took her seat and quietly peeled an apple for Belinda Belinda ate the apple while struggling to broach the topic.
A while later, she put aside the apple and held Lilyâs hand. She suggested, âLet Shannon join you at Loldâs place. Since youâre sisters, you can take care of each other.â
Lily looked at Belinda with a sharp gaze and an emotionless grin.âokay.â
Belinda was taken aback when Lily readily agreed to the idea. âWhy didnât you ask for the reason.
âWhy, then?â Lily peeled another apple and munched on it while cheekily asking Belinda.
Belinda was rendered speechless. She shouldnât have prompted Lily.
Lily patted her on the shoulder upon noticing her troubled expression. âJust focus on your recovery. Donât worry about anything else. I know what to do.â
Sighing, Belinda remarked, âIâm doing this for your best interest. Lily, I want to see you happy no matter what happens. I quite like Loidâhe comes from a good family and heâs handsome. But heâs not the right person for you.â
Lily held Belindaâs wrinkled hand. She assured Belinda with a genuine smile, âIâll be happy as long as youâre alive and healthy.â
In reality, she knew that it was a matter of time before Belanda left the world even without the poisoning incident. After all, every being had to face their mortality at some point. She couldnât do anything about Belindaâs advanced age.
Belinda patted her hand, looking hesitant to speak. She ultimately said nothing to her granddaughter
Lily lett Belindaâs ward after half an hour. Loid and his friends were waiting for her outside the door. She glanced at them and said, âLetâs go.â
The temperature dropped that day, but Lily only had a thin sweater on her. She trembled in the cold.
Suddenly, she was enveloped in warmth. She looked up and found Loid draping his jacket over her before pulling her into a hug. âItâs getting colder. You should bundle up.â
For a moment, she was entranced by his charms. He said nothing more as he made his way forward while holding her. She followed suit without a word.
Meanwhile, Shaon and Daniel held their tongues because they could see that Lily was in a foul mood. They went home by cab after leaving the hospital as they didnât want to stay around Lily any longer due to the depressing atmosphere around her.
Lily sat in the front passenger seat and stared silently out of the window. Pressing his lips together, Loud looked at her from the corners of his eyes. âWhat did your grandma say to you?â His voice was raspy with a masculine charm
She turned around with a twinkle in her eye and a faint smile. âShe said youâre not the right person for m
