"No problem." Upon hearing Skylar's words, Marcellus immediately nodded his head. "I'll take care of it on my side, but this time, there shouldn't be anyone willing to help the Rae Family. It won't be as troublesome as it was last time."
"Okay, if you have any questions, please let me know in advance."
Skylar hung up the phone and waited outside.
After a long while, Coralie was pushed out in a wheelchair. Color had returned to her face.
"Doctor, how is my wife?"
Skylar was like a regular patient's family member. When he saw Coralie come out, he quickly went forward to ask about her condition.
"There's no problem with the fetus, though I suggest that your wife stay in the hospital to be observed for two days," answered the doctor. He looked at Skylar, seeming to recognize his identity, and suggested, "If you want to go to a private hospital, I can also help you transfer her to another hospital."
"Why don't we just stay here?"
Coralie suggested.
One reason was that it was more troublesome to move to another place. The second reason was that Lillian was also in this hospital now.
"Alright, then well stay here."
At this time, Skylar was relieved when he heard that the child was fine.
Lillian woke up on the second day of Coralie's hospitalization.
As soon as she woke up, the nurse told Skylar and Coralie.
When they arrived at the ward, they saw Lillian lying on the bed, with an intravenous drip in her arm. Her eyes moved with their movements.
"Mom, are you awake?"
Skylar hurried over.
At this time, Lillian's face was sallow and her hair seemed to have grown whiter. It seemed as though she had aged a few years older.
"Where is... Valerie?"
Skylar and Coralie did not expect that her first question as soon as she regained consciousness would be to ask about Valerie's situation.
"Mom, have you been confused by your
illness? Valerie said something like that to you, and yet you still miss her?"
Even Skylar was angry, not to mention Coralie who was behind him.
After hearing Lillian's words, Coralie immediately turned around and went out.
Although Skylar had said that Valerie's words were a lie, Coralie didn't have any feelings for her other than hatred.
Seeing that Coralie went out, Skylar said, "Yesterday, Valerie explicitly blurted out her intention to murder eleven years ago. I've already asked Marcellus to sue her. This time, she'll be sentenced to life in prison.
Upon hearing Skylar's words, Lillian laid there and did not speak for a very long time.
As she laid there, tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. "Son, in fact, I know that people look down on me. In the past, your aunts looked down on me. Most of the Holland family did too. They all think that I'm from the countryside."
"I had a hard time until one day, Valerie came to my house, gave me gifts and praised that my clothes were beautiful. At first, I knew that she liked you and deliberately spoke nice words..." 'You were aware?" Skylar didn't expect Lillian to say that she was aware of it.
"I knew about it long ago, but as the company grew bigger and bigger, everyone was kind to me, especially her. In the blink of an eye, I forgot about that and thought that she was actually kind to me, and at that time, I felt that even if she was putting on an act, she wouldn't be able to keep up with it for over ten years."
Lillian's condition had just stabilized, so her voice was a little weak and wasn't very loud.
Although Coralie was angry, she still stood at the door and happened to hear Lillian say this.
"Mom, it's one thing for others to look down on you. Since you've given birth to such a son, no one dares to look down on you. You don't need to worry about these fake feelings."
Skylar comforted her.
