Lily feels much better after two days' rest, but Louis forcefully asks her to rest another more days because her ankle is still swollen.
On Monday, she goes to the police station.
The two policemen who gives Lily a ticket is discreet and respectful when they see her arrive. Then, together with around seven people who have run the red lights, Lily has a lesson on traffic education in the classroom.
On the way back, Louis calls her and teases, "Is the traffic education class over?"
"It's over." Lily takes a deep breath. She can't be angry with this man. She has to go to work in the Smith Group. "I'll go to the hospital to see my mother and then go to the Smith Group."
"Bring me a lunch when you come here."
"Do you have your secretary order it, don’t you?" Lily says angrily, "I'm not a takeout-deliveryman. If I come over at two o'clock, then you will have your lunch at that time?"
"Yes."
Before Lily can speak, he hangs up the phone, leaving Lily angry and helpless.
Lily takes the chicken soup to the hospital to see Daisy. Daisy has been lying in the hospital bed for several days, and her complexion is getting better and better. And she even starts knitting sweaters.
Daisy whispers, "The doctor who comes to check on me every day is not bad. He is a 28-year-old man, who is 1.8 meters height. I believe he is your type."
Lily rolls her eyes, saying, "Who tells you that I like handsome men?"
"Isn't that so?" Daisy asks curiously, "President Smith is quite handsome too. However, it's just a pity that...."
"Eat your meal," Lily stuffs the soup bowl into her hand, saying, "If you want to find something to do, please care about Joey and Coffey more. Don't focus on me!"
Daisy says earnestly, "You are the eldest sister, so you must set a good example."
"...."
Suddenly, the door of the ward is knocked on. Lily looks over and sees a lady, who is wearing a purple dress, standing in front of the door. She looks elegant and generous with a pair of gentle eyes.
"Are you Miss Lily?"
"I am," Lily asks, "What's wrong?"
The lady smiles and says, "May I talk with you privately for five minutes?"
Lily nods.
A minute later, they arrive at a beverage shop outside the hospital.
When the waiter brings the drinks and leaves, Lily says to the lady, "Now what do you want to tell me?"
"My surname is Akihito and my given name is Yuna. My husband runs a group in RB," The lady takes out a gilded business card from her bag and gives it to Lily, saying, "Tokuo is my nephew."
Lily glances at the business card and laughs, "Oh, you're Tokuo's family. What do you meet me for? Do you want me to donate bone marrow to him?"
"No, the bone marrow that matches Tokuo has been found. I would like to ask you to drop the charges against Absalom," Yuna says with an embarrassment.
"I know that you are Absalom's daughter. He might have let you and your mother down in the past and harmed you because Tokuo, but please forgive him."
"He is an RB citizen. If he leaves a criminal record here, it will be very troublesome for him to take over the group in the future. I apologize to you for him."
"I won't revoke it," Lily says coldly. This woman's attitude is very sincere, but she doesn't accept it. "He did that, so he has to bear the consequences himself!"
Yuna gets up from her chair and bows deeply to her, saying, "Miss Lily, please forgive him. We will give you any compensation you want."
"I won't." Lily sees that it is getting late and she has to buy lunch for Louis, so she stands up and says, "This drink is on me."
