"I don't even remember your brothers' mother. How could I remember yours? Stop with your delusions. When I was younger, I only played with the cheapest whores. If you're going to acknowledge someone as your mother, nothing good will come out of it. On the contrary, you will be sucked dry by your trash of a mother!”
Lilith's heart turned cold when she heard what Nathan said.
"Everyone else has the right to hate me, except Peter and you! If it was not for me, do you think the two of you could survive up till now?" Up till that point, Nathan still thought that he did nothing wrong with his two children.
"Visitation time is up." The guards said and
took Nathan away.
Lilith looked at Nathan’s slightly hunched back. Her eyes became wet involuntarily. He was no longer the proud, arrogant, intimidating man of her youth. He was old.
He was not a competent father. He had never loved her as a normal father would. However, she could not deny that he had brought her up.
When she said that she had arranged to scatter his ashes, she had been lying. She did not contact the funeral parlor. She had deliberately told him that to anger him. She had wanted to see if he would be frightened, and she wanted to know if he would beg her to give him a proper funeral.
Coming out of the detention center, she hailed a taxi from the side of the road and gave the driver Ben’s address.
After she told Ben that she wanted to go back to school, Ben got her the brochures of two colleges, asking her to pick one.
Although she and Ben always bickered, Ben always paid attention to her which touched her deeply.
Lilith had decided she would no longer live the life she led in the past.
Avery has said that life was what you made it. One is in complete control when it comes to one's choices.
Returning to Ben’s, she keyed in the pin for the gate. When the gate opened, a black sedan parked there attracted her attention.
That was not Ben's car. When she came out of the house, the car was not there!
"Aunt Helen, that is mine." Lilith walked over and took the ultrasound scan.
"Hmm. I saw your name written on it.
Lilith, can you tell me, the child in you—”
"I can't." Lilith did not want to lie to her, but neither did she want to tell her the truth.
Lilith's relationship with Ben was too awkward. If Ben were to know that the child was his, he would surely force her to have an abortion.
"Oh. Does Ben know about this?" Helen’s smile disappeared.
"He knows.” "He knows that you are pregnant, yet he let you stay. It seems like you are pregnant with his child! Haha! That is great! I knew something would happen between the both of you." Helen smiled excitedly. She suddenly remembered Elliot’s death. "Sigh. I heard about your brother. Don't be too sad. Don't let it affect the child. If you were to give birth to the child, everything Ben owns will belong to your child. Whatever belongs to your child will also be yours."
