Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 408

Silence stretched for a few seconds on Tamara's side.

"Is she hurt?" she asked. "Your grandma just saw the news. Your dad and I are on our way home now, and we'll drop by later."

Xavier thought about Terence and Maryanne. It didn't matter that Maryanne was in Lily's ward, but that wasn't the case for Terence. After all, his intentions were as clear as day.

Contemplating for a while, he replied, "Grandma isn't exactly fit, so don't let her—"

"I can't stop her," Tamara intervened, knowing what he was going to say. "Besides, no matter what, Lily is still the daughter-in-law of the Fulton family. Now that she's involved in such an accident, we must visit her."

Xavier didn't argue further. After hanging up, he exited the stairwell, only to realize that Terence was already gone.

The door to the examination room was ajar, but only Marvin and the nurse were in there. It seemed Lily's examination was over, and Terence had taken her back.

Xavier glanced at the empty corridor before entering the examination room.

…

After examining Lily, Marvin didn't look exactly pleased.

A twinge of anxiety prickled at Lily. She couldn't be bothered about Xavier's presence after she came out and merely followed Terence back to her ward.

Maryanne hurried toward them the moment they turned up at the door.

"How was the examination?"

Terence shook his head subtly. He hadn't been in the examination room, so he was clueless about Marvin's expression.

The nurse had told them to wait and that they would be notified once the results were available.

Sitting down on the hospital bed, Lily exhaled deeply before forcing a lighthearted smile. "No matter what happens, at worst, I just won't be able to design anymore, right?"
