Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 428

Chapter 432

"I think you're fated to be…"

"No, I don't want to leave you, Master…" Before The Great Chemist finished talking, Lily barged in. She wrapped her arms tightly around The Great Chemist, tears streaming down her face. "Master…"

The Great Chemist caressed her hair lovingly. "Be a good child." Then, he looked at Vania. "You two are fated. As soon as I saw you, I knew it right away."

Vania stared at Lily. At the sight of the little girl crying, she felt her heart about to break as well. She stepped forth and pulled Lily into her embrace. She didn't say anything as she allowed Lily to cry, waiting for the latter to pour out all her feelings.

"Your wounds have healed considerably, and I'll have my disciples lead you out of the mountain tomorrow."

Then, he picked up the purse.

Vania spoke up again. "Old Mr. Bamboo wanted me to ask you some questions. He said—"

"No need. He'll understand when you return this purse to him after leaving the mountain."

Vania nodded. "Is there anything else you want us to do?"

The Great Chemist glanced at Lily, then shook his head. "I still have medicine to make, so make yourselves at home."

"Understood." Vania nodded, then turned to leave with Lily in her arms.

Just then, Lily got out of Vania's embrace and blocked The Great Chemist's path. "Master, allow me to bow down before you."

She knew that there was no changing The Great Chemist's mind.

"Please take care, Master."

Lily stopped crying and looked sincerely at The Great Chemist. After a long while, she got up and walked back to Vania's side, taking the latter's hand. "Let's go, beautiful lady."

Lily was quite mature for her age, and she knew that she was a homeless child. Now, she went with Vania also because The Great Chemist had helped her. So, she had to be extra careful in everything she did.

Aside from that, there was some sort of attraction pulling her close to Vania. If not, she would've insisted on staying behind.

Vania took Lily in her arms and wiped the tears off her face. "I once had a dream, and the angel in the dream looked exactly like you. You're a gift given to me by the heavens. Come with me, and I'll treat you like my own child."

It wasn't a bad idea to have two daughters. Moreover, she was deeply attracted to Lily.

Hanson was also looking at Lily as he said in an extremely gentle voice, "From now onward, we're family. We'll explain to you the situation in our family shortly. Your brothers at home are friendly fellows, and they'll definitely be glad to know you're joining them."

Lily listened to him earnestly, but she still felt a little dissatisfied with Hanson. She moved and placed herself between Hanson and Vania, separating the two. Then, she nodded obediently. "Okay."

Hanson chuckled at her antics. There would be six children at home stopping him from spending time with Vania, so their defenses would be flawless. Lily had just met Vania, but she was already on guard against him. He really didn't know what to say about his position in the family.

Vania took Lily's hand. "We'll stay together tonight, and we'll have a nice chat."

She felt that there was an unnamed connection between her and Lily, and now they only lacked communication.

Lily nodded. "Okay, then I'll have to call you beautiful lady from now on."

Vania was filled with love. "You can call me anything you like, as long as you're happy."

Vania and Lily proceeded to chat late into the night. Their topics ranged from family to personal ideals, and the more they talked, the more excited they got. After that, the two drifted off to sleep.

As soon as the sun peeked over the mountains early in the morning, Vania opened her eyes right on time. Now she couldn't wait to return to Hammond and save her child.
