If she answered the phone call from Jessie, she would know that Chloe went to find her. If she didn't mute her phone, she wouldn't miss the call from Chloe.
If she talked to Chloe, she would go to the airport to pick her up. None of this would happen.
Her younger brother goes to Country Y by himself and cuts off one of Jonathan's arms to avenge Chloe while she could do nothing to help.
She hates herself for her uselessness!
Tears flow out of Lily's eyes uncontrollably. She sobs in a small voice with her hand covering her mouth, and doesn't notice the footsteps outside until a pair of legs enters her view.
Someone pulls her up from the toilet lid fiercely and drags her out of the bathroom.
She staggers to keep up with the man's big footsteps, and nearly falls to the ground. She subconsciously puts her hands on her belly, and murmurs, "Slow down ... the baby...."
Then she hurriedly shuts her mouth.
Louis lets her loose suddenly, and turns to look at her with a dark face, "Why are you here?"
Lily moves her hands away from her belly furtively and whispers, "I want to see Chloe."
"You saw her now?"
" ... I'm sorry." Lily tries to smoothen her breath and looks up at him, "What did you do to Chloe? Why doesn't she remember Coffey?"
Louis sneers, "What have I done? What, you want to blame me?"
"That's not what I meant." Lily's hands are clenched and then relaxed. After a while, she says, "You know how much Coffey loves her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have...."
"I know nothing of that. I only know that they broke up and have nothing to do with each other." Louis interrupts her and says coldly, "Just get out of here."
"Louis!" Lily grits her teeth.
She doesn't understand why he turns to be so indifferent to her after that night.
She screws up everything. She could only lower her head and beg him, "They went through so much to be finally together. Why do you have to break them up? Is this what Chloe wanted?"
"It has nothing to do with Coffey. He has always taken good care of Chloe. It's my fault that I didn't realize Chloe was looking for me...."
"It's indeed your fault, Lily. This isn't the first time you've messed things up!" Louis grits his teeth and scowls at the woman who could do nothing else except lowering her head.
All his rationality and calmness vanish as long as he thinks of how she abandons him and leaves with another man. He wishes he could break her neck every time he thinks of that video.
Louis approaches her, "You are such a reckless and credulous wiseacre. Does 'sorry' help anything after all of this happened? "
Lily has never seen him so furious before. She is daunted to step back by his rage, with her hair standing on end.
Step by step, she retreats until her waist hits against the cabinet.
She frowns as the flank of her waist is hurt by the sharp corner of the cabinet.
After a few breaths, Lily finally gets over the pain, but doesn't dare to look up at him, "You're right, I'm useless. I admit it, I just hope you don't make things difficult for them."
"Lily, do you know what Chloe looked like when I brought her back?" Louis says, "She was logy like a child, cared about nothing else except sleeping and watching animation. She kept being like that for a long time."
"She wouldn't open her heart even though I spent a lot of time to keep her company. I could only ask Justin to invite some friends over, to tell her stories, to help her forget those things."
