Chapter 83
After school, Lily received a call from Belinda right after she hopped into Loid’s car. Belinda said to her, “Lily, please drop by the hospital after school I need to talk to you
Belinda didn’t sound quite like herself. Squinting curiously, Lily replied coldly, “Will do ”
Lold, who sat beside Lily, overheard the conversation. He took her hand and informed her in a hoarse voice, “People from the Martinez family met with your grandmother today.”
She tilted her head and stared at him for a while. Then, she flashed a frosty smile at him. “Alright!”
Sicting in front of the car, Shaun couldn’t help but finch when he sensed the growing rage in Lily. He decided to keep his mouth shut and avoid trouble
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the hospital entrance. Lily and the others went right over to Belinda’s ward.
Belinda fell into a short silence when she saw Loid. Then, she slowly suggested, “Mr. Laurier, can you and your friends give us some space? I need to have a private talk with Lily.”
Loid was fine with that “Sure.” He left the ward with Shane and Daniel
Lily took her seat and quietly peeled an apple for Belinda Belinda ate the apple while struggling to broach the topic.
A while later, she put aside the apple and held Lily’s hand. She suggested, “Let Shannon join you at Lold’s place. Since you’re sisters, you can take care of each other.”
Lily looked at Belinda with a sharp gaze and an emotionless grin.“okay.”
Belinda was taken aback when Lily readily agreed to the idea. “Why didn’t you ask for the reason.
“Why, then?” Lily peeled another apple and munched on it while cheekily asking Belinda.
Belinda was rendered speechless. She shouldn’t have prompted Lily.
Lily patted her on the shoulder upon noticing her troubled expression. “Just focus on your recovery. Don’t worry about anything else. I know what to do.”
Sighing, Belinda remarked, “I’m doing this for your best interest. Lily, I want to see you happy no matter what happens. I quite like Loid–he comes from a good family and he’s handsome. But he’s not the right person for you.”
Lily held Belinda’s wrinkled hand. She assured Belinda with a genuine smile, “I’ll be happy as long as you’re alive and healthy.”
In reality, she knew that it was a matter of time before Belanda left the world even without the poisoning incident. After all, every being had to face their mortality at some point. She couldn’t do anything about Belinda’s advanced age.
Belinda patted her hand, looking hesitant to speak. She ultimately said nothing to her granddaughter
Lily lett Belinda’s ward after half an hour. Loid and his friends were waiting for her outside the door. She glanced at them and said, “Let’s go.”
