Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 376

Hearing that, Gregory smiled slightly, his hazel eyes fixed on me as he spoke softly but clearly, "Yes, you're Lily, my fiancée."

It was a confirmation, a proclamation.

"Gregory..." My thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions, yet relief washed over me. "Thank you for never, ever giving up on me."

Every time I needed help, Gregory was there, right on time. Even when someone else took my place, he schemed and plotted. Everyone else had given up on me, but not him.

Gregory took me to a cozy diner near the Myers Mansion. The waiter led us to a private booth. Only then did I realize it wasn't just me and him. Farley was there, too.

Seeing us enter, Farley immediately stood up, his gaze fixed on me. The man, nearly sixty, suddenly started to cry. In his hands, he held the report from an international institute. Farley must have read it.

Farley addressed me, "Miss Lilliana!"

That title startled me, not because it was unexpected, but because it felt all too familiar.

It felt like I had heard that countless times before.

All the emotions I had held back all morning suddenly crumbled, and tears rolled down my cheeks. "Farley..."

"Oh God!" Farley choked up, hastily wiping away his tears. "Thank goodness you're safe and have grown. It's good, really good!"

"Farley, take a seat. She's hungry." Gregory pulled me to sit down.

Soon, we ordered food.

After the waiter left, Farley got straight to the point, handing Gregory two sealed powder packets. "We did find something, but it wasn't in Dorothy's room. It was in Susan's..."

Hearing that, I sharply asked, "Is this... poison?"

"It seems so." Farley nodded with resentment. "Thank goodness, when you went to the hospital, Greg stopped me and told me to search the house. If I had gone to the hospital, this would have been destroyed."
