Lydia walked out of the office building and headed straight to Capital Hospital. Inside the hospital room, everyone had their eyes on Connor.
“Connor, are you feeling better now? All healed up?” Cameron asked, sounding genuinely concerned.
Connor gave a polite nod. “I’m alright, Mr. Norwood.”
Kylie chimed in with a gentle smile. “That’s good to hear. Just be more careful from now on, okay? Honestly, I feel bad that neither of us made it to visit you in the hospital. I hope you don’t mind.”
Before Connor could say anything, Mr. Jefferson jumped in. “Mind? Why would he mind? Lydia went to check on him herself yesterday, but he wasn’t there. He was off dealing with some company emergency. Who’s at fault for that?”
Connor stayed quiet. Trust his grandfather to bring up the one thing everyone else wanted to overlook.
Lucinda, who’d spent the whole night upset, felt a tiny bit better. It was obvious Connor didn’t want to see Lydia at all. He didn’t like her, not even a little.
“It’s fine. Lydia’s on her way. She can check you out again when she gets here,” Kylie said, trying to smooth it over.
But Connor shook his head politely. “Really, I’m fine now. Just a small injury. Besides, my brothers are waiting to talk with her about the Country D ambassador. I don’t want to hold them up.”
The message was loud and clear. He didn’t need Lydia’s help. He might as well have said right out loud that he wasn’t interested in their daughter.
Mr. Jefferson clenched his jaw, fighting back his frustration. “You…”
“Miss Norwood!”
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the room. One of the bodyguards.
Mr. Jefferson, who had just been about to lose his temper, lit up with excitement. “She’s here! Lydia’s here, everyone!”

done reading lydia's story. thank you for sharing it....

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
