Chapter 259
“Yes. Lily said she was worried about you so she’s coming back to take care of you. I was going to tell you about it.”
“That’s good if you want to come back!” My father was ecstatic. “What are you waiting for? Just ask John to sort out my discharge procedures and let’s go home!”
I went home with Mrs. Fant sitting next to me while my parents sat in the backseat. It had been five years since I last went home and I was feeling extremely emotional. “Mrs. Fant, how is the flower I planted?”
“She grew up really well. Mr. Hawkins watered it every day.”
“Thanks Dad!” Smile in the rearview mirror.
“I was the one who took care of your fish! Why don’t I see you thanking me?” My mother looked at me.
“Is that fish still alive? I thought he had died a long time ago.”
“Come on, you think I’m going to let him die? I’ve been taking care of him like a baby!”
We continued talking until we finally made it back to the house. I parked the car and got out before opening Dad’s car door and helping him out.
When we got to the living room, Dad turned and instructed Mrs. Fant: “Buy some lobsters and meat. I want you to cook all of Lily’s favorite dishes tonight.”
“Mrs. Fant, it’s better if you can cook daddy’s favorite dishes. By the way, my dad can’t eat very fatty food because he has high blood pressure, so you’d better write down the ingredients’ nutritional value when you buy them.”
“You two are always thinking of others and never of yourselves.” My mother was jealous again.
I was over the moon because this was the home I wanted to go back to. My kind father and my kind mother, as well as Mrs. Fant, have always been nothing short of kind to me. It was the first time I felt the warmth of a family in a long time.
During dinner, Mrs. Fant swore she almost cried at how close our family was when she saw that my parents kept putting food on my plate while I did the same for them too.
After we finish eating. I accompanied my parents for a walk on the lawn. So I went back to my room after Dad said he was tired so Mom took him back to his room to rest.
My bedroom still looked the same compared to five years ago. I couldn’t help but get emotional, looking at the bed I slept in for so many years as he jumped onto my bed like a hungry lion and started rolling around in it.
It was so nice to finally be back home!
Just when I was feeling all kinds of emotions, my phone rang.
It was a call from Isabella. “Lily, the cost of fixing Jeremy’s car that was involved in the accident is over.”
“How much does this cost?”
“Dealership 45 said about 1.5 million is needed, but I managed to add another five hundred thousand since Jolene owes her about four hundred thousand, right? Adding up the interest, it will total about five hundred thousand, so you
can take the extra money.”
“All good? Aren’t you afraid of Jolene investigating?”
“What can she do about it? I’m telling you, we all know that 1.5 million is a scam. Since that idiot Carson is going to pay, you should get it.”

Chapter 259
“Carson won’t be the one to pay as he was still hurting from being blackmailed and lost around 6 million.” I told Isabella about the conversation between the two idiots that I overheard yesterday.
Isabella was shocked “6 million? This idiot is very generous”
“Isn’t it that Carson said he had no money and asked Jolene to find her own ways to solve the problem with Robin’s car accident?”
“Has Jolene found her own ways? Can she at least scrape together a few million?”
“Yes. I was also curious about that, but Jolene doesn’t really seem concerned.”
“Lily, I just realized something strange. But, that’s just my guess.”
“What is it?”
“Jolene’s younger brother said the money for his car was given by their father, but Jolene said it was hers, so both statements obviously contradict each other. Carson kept her affair very secret so we only found out about it so many years later. Since he managed to keep it a secret for so many years, he wouldn’t allow anything to go wrong this time. I’m suspecting that the witch, Jolene, may have been the one sending Carson the blackmail texts!
“Are you saying that Jolene took advantage of her relationship with Carson to blackmail him?” I was shocked and in disbelief.
