As she speaks, she cries even more ferociously, "Do you know that I thought Coffey was really dead? I have collapsed during this period and didn't even know how to tell my mother about this. Louis, you really went too far!"
"Yes, I'm sorry. I went too far." Louis admits and coaxes her softly, "Don't cry when you're pregnant. Besides, I have a perfect plan. I won't do things that I'm not confident about."
Lily shakes his hand away, "If you hide such a big matter from me, it would only make me even more worried!"
"I know you well. You are emotional and impulsive." Louis sighs deeply and helplessly says, "Furthermore, you have never given me the chance to talk to you. You have always been angry with me."
He asks Lily, "Lily, did you think that at that time in L City, I had known you were pregnant, so I deliberately let someone add blood-activating medicinal to the duck soup and give it to you to drink, so that you would have an abortion?"
Lily doesn't even want to recall what happened back then. "There's no point in saying this now."
"It's meaningful." Louis looks at her with a serious expression. "Just tell me, did you think that I didn't want children?"
"..."
Coffey sees that the atmosphere becomes weird.
So he couldn't help but say, "Since you still have something to discuss, I'll leave first."
"No!" Lily grabs him.
"I finally find out that you're alive. Don't leave anymore. Come back with me later. You've disappeared for so long. Mom keeps asking me where you've been every day."
Louis forcefully pulls Lily away, "He will go back. Let us settle the matter between us first."
He glances at Coffey.
Coffey nods and says to Lily before he leaves, "Lily, Mr. Smith treats me very well. Don't blame him."
After Coffey leaves, Louis locks the door again.
He doesn't want to let this woman run away again.
He repeats, "Lily, answer my question."
"There's nothing to talk about between us!" Lily looks calm. "Louis, step aside."
Just as Louis is about to say something, he sees the woman standing tilted and frowning. She seems to be uncomfortable. He remembers that when he was hugging her just now, he noticed that she is wearing high heels.
She must have been wearing high heels for a long time, and her feet hurt.
He leans over and picks up the woman. Then he walks straight into the study and put her in a chair.
Lily struggles, "What are you doing?"
"If you move anymore, I'll tie you to a chair with tape." Louis glances at her harshly and forcefully lifts off the hem of her wedding dress. He grabs her feet and places them on his thigh.
When he takes off her high heels, he heard a deep breath from above. It is obviously because she is very painful, so he can't help but blame, "Since you can't wear them, then don't wear. Do you have to cripple your feet?"
"I just want to wear them. What does it have to do with you?"
Lily's foot is pressed by his palm. She feels that her whole foot is burning and pulls out forcefully, "Louis, let go of me."
It hurts to be in high heels. Louis sees that her skin on both sides of her feet is red, especially her toes, which were squeezed to the point of being congested with blood. He feels heartache as he gently rubs her.
