She wakes up the next day all alone by herself. Lily hardly fell asleep last night; she even heard the door closing sound when Rex left.
She remembers everything that happened yesterday, including Tim.
Getting up slowly from the bed, the soreness of her body reminded her how fierce they are last night. Her clothes are scattered all over the floor. Lily folds back her eyelids, feeling lost.
She takes the phone, come upon countless of missed call and text message. Problems need to be solved whether you like it or not.
Lily calls Bree back. Just as expected, she is messed up at the moment it is connected.
“Lily, where are you? You didn’t even pick up your phone all night, your father and I are so worried!”
Lily raises her hand to rub her brows, “Mom, I’m fine.”
Bree lower her voices and asks, “Is it you that hurt Tim?”
“Yes.”
“You…” Lily stammers, “You’re insane!”
“Mom, where are you?”
“I’m in the Hospital with your father and the Tim’s family. Call me when you’re here, I’ll pick you up.”
…
Lily takes a cab to the Hospital. Forty minutes later, she meets Bree, who have come downstairs in advance to pick her up and they go up together. As they are about to leave the elevator, Susan blocks them.
The flawless face turns fierce instantly.
“Lily, you’d hurt my son so badly, didn’t you feel sorry?!” The sharp voice cuts through her eardrum.
“Is he awake?” Lily looks pale. She has imagined all the scenes that might happen before coming, including Susan’s temper.
“Not yet!” Jev points at her face bluntly, “If anything happen to my son, I will never let you go!”
Lily, not saying a word, walks to the corridor’s bench and sit down. She is pale after hearing that Tim is still unconscious. “Relax, I won’t run away.”
Bree and Harry feel bad for her, but can’t blame her too.
Nothing is more important than human’s life. If Tim wakes up, everything will be easier.
After another hour, the nurse comes out and said that the patient has awakened.
Susan goes inside the ward with tears in her eyes. While looking at Tim, whose head is covered with gauze, she shed more tears. Looking at the situation, Harry feels more worried.
The situation is much worse than expected.
“Tim, how do you feel?” Jev steps forward and asks with a very concerned tone.
“I’m okay.” says Tim with a hoarse voice. He scans around the room and finally lands on Lily. He furiously says, “Lily, how dare you come?”
Lily steps closer to ask the doctor about his condition. After knowing that he is okay, she finally feels much more relief. “Tim, let’s talk alone.”
“What do you want to say! Do you still want to hurt him?” Susan shoves Lily violently.
Lily almost fell but fortunately, Harry got her in time. “Susan, please keep calm!”
“Keep calm? Have you seen what she did to my son? How dare you told me to keep calm? You have not educate your daughters well.”
Hearing those words, Lily frowns tightly, “I might have did something wrong, but my parents have nothing to do with this, so please don’t insult them.”
It doesn’t matter if Susan offended her, but Harry and Bree shall not be dragged into this.
“You….!”
“Mom, stop!” Tim cuts her and glances at Lily. “Leave us alone.”
