Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 0060

(Lily POV)

James wants to see me? After everything that has happened? No, absolutely not. No way.

Apparently, Brady is thinking the same thing I am. Before I can say anything beyond “no,” he speaks up again.

“Dad, how could you even suggest that Lily meet with that a&&hole after everything that he has done?”

Brady asks, not even trying to mask the disgust that he feels.

“I never suggested that she meet with him, Son. I simply informed you that he asked.”

“But you were going to suggest it. Why else bring it up?” Brady asks accusingly.

Dr. Hyder sighs and runs his hand through his salt and pepper hair.

“Why would he want to see me? Does he still think I need to be punished? Does he want to hurt me

some more?” I try to hide the pain in my voice as I ask these questions, but I am not sure how successful

I am.

Brady growls, grabs my hand, and turns to me. “Lily, I will never let him hurt you again. I promise.”

Dr. Hyder gives Brady a look.

“I do not believe that he wants to hurt you, Lily,” Dr. Hyder explains. “I believe that he is regretting his prior

actions.”

“A little too late, if you ask me,” Brady retorts bitterly.

“Given your history, Brady, that is a very interesting comment for you to make,” Dr. Hyder says in a

mocking tone.

I give Brady a questioning look, but his attention is now focused on glaring at his father.

“I learned my lesson. I will not make the same mistake again,” Brady says pointedly.

“Perhaps James has learned his lesson as well.”

“That is not what you said the first time he asked where she was.

First time? James asked before? When was that? Why did no one tell me?

Dr. Hyder says nothing, so Brady continues.

“You know as well as I do that what James did to Lily is far, far worse than what I did to Evelyn. You refused to talk to me for six months afterwards, and even today you continue to taunt me with it every chance you get. But it has been what, six weeks for James? And yet here you are, defending him.”

“Who is Evelyn?” I ask.
