“You go find Julian. I shouldn’t need to tell you what to say, right?” Margaret said through gritted teeth, turning her head painfully to look at Iris.

Before Iris could nod, Margaret continued, “This time, he has to dissolve the mating bond with Lillian.”

Things had gone this far.

If Julian didn’t dissolve the bond with Lillian now, then the humiliation she’d suffered today would have been for nothing.

Iris said, “But I heard from the doctors that Lillian was admitted due to severe hemorrhaging. Do you think Julian might…”

“Relax. I’ve already bribed all her doctors a long time ago. Whether it’s a miscarriage or not is for the doctors to decide, not for

Lillian to claim.”

Hearing this, Iris asked, “Then today…”

‘Who knows what really caused her hemorrhaging today? What if it was just an overly heavy flow from her cycle due to excessive… nourishment?” Margaret cut Iris off coldly.

Margaret went on, “Don’t worry. Julian’s heart has already drifted away from her over these past six months. If he truly trusted Lillian, their relationship wouldn’t have deteriorated to this point.”

Hearing Margaret’s words, the tension on Iris‘ face finally eased a little.

No one knew how worried she’d been after learning her mother had gone to Inkwood Gardens.

she was genuinely afraid Julian would distance himself from her because of this.

Even though their relationship hadn’t made much progress in the last six months, if he believed Lillian about what had happened at Inkwood Gardens today, then everything they’d done before would truly be ruined.

ris nodded. “I understand what I need to do now.”

Seeing Iris understood, the look in Margaret’s eyes finally softened a bit.

Julian didn’t know how he’d managed to leave Lillian’s hospital room.

He’d instructed Helen to prepare some suitable food for Lillian’s condition and bring it over.

Then he’d made several phone calls in a row, all confirming what Margaret had done at Inkwood Gardens today.

Finally, he headed toward Margaret’s hospital room, his entire being radiating a cold, sharp aura.

He ran into Iris just as he was stepping out of the elevator.

Seeing Julian, Iris‘ eyes instantly welled up with tears. “Julian, why? Tell me why Lillian would do this? Did she really want to kill my mother?

“I’m already suffering enough. If she wants to kill me, then let her come for me. But don’t let her target my mother. She hasn’t done anything wrong.

“She’s been beaten so badly she can’t even move… She’s always been such a proud female…”

At this point, Iris was crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

Her pitiful, broken appearance–any Alpha seeing it would likely be moved.

Julian stood there coldly, unmoving, not saying a word.

Iris clutched at the hem of his shirt with both hands. “It’s all my fault. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have leaned on you.

“Your face… It always makes me see an illusion. I keep thinking you’re Ethan, I keep thinking my Ethan is still here. It’s all my fault.”

Julian’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Do you see clearly now?”

His icy tone was filled with frost.

Iris‘ sobs hitched for a second.

“I… I see clearly. I do see clearly. But sometimes I can’t control it, Julian. From now on, please don’t come to see me and the pup anymore. It makes Lillian unhappy.

“When she’s unhappy, she doesn’t just lash out at me, she hurts my family too. Please, don’t come find me anymore…”

Iris cried harder and harder.

Between her sobs, the implication was clear: Lillian was petty about Julian taking care of her and her pup.

Eleanor returned from fetching some items. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Iris crying like a heartbroken mess,

with Julian just standing there coldly watching.

Eleanor said, “Iris, you…”

Seeing Eleanor arrive, Iris cried even more violently. “I was wrong. Please tell Lillian I was wrong. I admit my mistake.

“Let her come at me alone if she must. Just don’t go after my mother.”

Eleanor felt her blood boil with anger. “Iris, what are you doing?”

Her heart ached for Iris.

Hearing Iris keep mentioning Lillian, Eleanor grew even more furious.

That damnable Lillian, she…

She’d truly lost her mind.
