Cocking her head to see his face, Lily held onto his hand. "Were you hit?" Her voice carried shock and anger.
Unable to hide it from her, Dominic looked away. "I'm fine."
"How is it fine? You were hit!" Having just regained consciousness, Lily struggled to sit up, and her breathing became rapid. "Who hit you? Was it Fred?"
"Do you think he could do it if I hadn't let him?" Dominic said as he waved dismissively.
"How dare he!" Lily gritted her teeth.
Enraged, she was oblivious to what Dominic said. Although she seldom treated him courteously, she regarded him as her grandfather. He had taught her a lot, so to her, he was both an elder and a benefactor.
Furthermore, he had spent his whole life treating people and was well-respected, even among the rich and powerful. It was unimaginable that anyone would beat him, let alone because of her.
Lily was so angry that she blamed herself. "This is all my fault."
