It was the second time that Lily was held by Eric in his arms, and she couldn't help blushing. It was
more embarrassed this time because she was sober, and their clothes were wet. As they clung to each
other, she could clearly feel the temperature coming from him.
Although he was still a young man, his powerful hands made people feel very reassured and safe. And
strangely, she laughed that she thought too much.
"What are you laughing at?" Feeling her smile, Eric lowered his head and asked.
"Nothing." Lily changed the topic and said, "When you swam over to help me, you saw that Claire
reached out to you but you avoided her without mercy."
"Why should I save her?" He retorted in a cold tone.
"Uh..." Lily was stunned.
"I don't need to save anyone, what's more..." After a pause, Eric took a glance at Eden who followed
them and said, "She pushed you into the water."
"So you saw it." Lily smiled. But she was not too surprised, as if it was normal for him to see such a
scene.
"Yes."
Soon, Eric took her to the place where he did not often live. It was relatively spacious, with a small
living room outside and a separated bedroom inside.
After entering the bedroom, he directly walked to the bedside and gently put Lily on the bed.
"Oh, no, please don't..." Lily struggled to stand up and said, "Don't get the bed wet."
"Sit and don't move." With one hand on her shoulder, Eric twisted his eyebrows unhappily, and his dark
eyes looked at her with a little strength.
Lily was frightened by him. She sat quietly.
Seeing that she did not move, Eric turned around to walk in front of the wardrobe. He opened it and
took out two sets of clothes from it. He went back to the bedside, put one of them on the bed and
handed it to Lily.
"Take off your wet clothes and I'll apply medicine to you after you are ok."
After saying that, he turned to look at Eden, who was standing quietly but fixed his eyes on Lily. "Go
outside. She needs to change her clothes."
"Yes." Eden looked at him and then turned to Lily, apologizing deeply.
Only then did Lily notice him. She looked at him in surprise. He didn't care about Claire but followed her
here. But Why did he look at her apologetically?
Just as she was confused, Eden had already turned around and walked out with Eric.
In the living room, Eric directly started to change his clothes in spite of Eden. Soon, his wet clothes
were replaced.
"You saw it?" After changing his clothes, he looked at Eden and asked.
He looked at him and nodded, "yes."
"Huh." "Your sister is such a cunning girl," Eric said with a smile
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Eden's face, but he didn't refute. "I didn't expect her to do it
either."
"Really?" Eric didn't think so. He continued, "If Lily was weak, she would have died."
After saying that, he took out his medicine box from the tea table without even looking at Eden, and
walked to the bedroom door. He knocked on the door and asked, "Have you changed your clothes?"
"Yes, yes..." Lily answered in the room.
After he got the reply, Eric pushed the door and walked in.
Eden pursed his lips and said nothing. Seeing that Eric entered the room, he thought for a while and
then followed him in. He wondered if she was seriously injured.
Seeing the girl in front of him, Eric felt embarrassed, and his face flushed. He looked at Lily a little
awkwardly. The clothes that he had just given her were the shirt that he used to wear, and the smallest
one, and a pair of shorts that he was completely not wearing now.
But now she was wearing a shirt, which completely covered the short shorts. Her two slender legs were
exposed in the air.
Lily felt a little embarrassed being watched. She lowered her head and felt her face a little hot. She
unconsciously protected her chest with her hands. She fell into the water and got wet. She was empty
inside.
"Ahem!" Eric coughed and looked away awkwardly, "Lie down. I'll put some medicine on your wound."
"I can do it myself." Lily then shyly took the medicine box from his hand.
With the medicine box in his hand, Eric moved his hand and ordered in a firm tone, "Lie down. I'll do it
for you."
Lily was stunned for a while. She looked up at Eric and went to the bed obediently. She lied on the bed
and felt embarrassed to face him.
He walked to the bedside and put the medicine box on the bedside table. He opened the box and
raised the coat around Lily's waist. When he was about to do it, Eden grabbed his hand.
"Let me do it." He looked at Eric and said, "You'd better avoid it."
Eric looked at him and suddenly laughed, "What do you want to avoid? This is not a school. And it is
not the first time that I applied medicine to her wounds."
"What do you mean?" Eden frowned.
Eric did not answer his question, but took his hand away, uncovered Lily's clothes, and exposed her
whole waist, "Have a look by yourself."
Eden was stunned. From the first sight, he knew that the wound on Lily's waist was not new. It was just
that the falling water led to the crack today, and there were a few bruises around the wound. Although
the injury was healed, it was particularly obvious. Not only that, there were several bruises on her
waist.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily didn't expect that he would have done such a thing. She turned around
and looked at him and then ripped off the clothes to cover her waist.
She unconsciously bit her lower lip as she was injured directly.
"You..." She wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a sudden quilt covering her all over.
Eric stepped forward and stood in front of Eden. "You can leave now. I'll apply some medicine on her
wound. She won't go back tonight."
Coming to himself, Eden frowned and said, "If she doesn't go back, the consequences will be serious."
"I know." Eric replied flatly, "If she comes back now, the consequence will be more serious."
While Eden was puzzled, Lily had freed herself from the quilt. She pushed away Eric with one hand
and said to Eden, "You can go back now. I'll go back tomorrow."
"If Father knows that you are together..."
"I think you know what to do." Before he could finish his sentence, Eric interrupted Eden and shifted his
body to block Eden's sight again. He said, "If you treat her as your sister, then don't force her to go
back. If nothing goes wrong, she will be involved in today's thing."
Eden frowned, as if thinking about what he had said.
Lily didn't know why Eric always blocked her. She pushed him again with discontent, but was stopped
by Eric's slightly severe look.
She took back her hand weakly, curled her lips, and chose to listen to them quietly.
"Got it." After a long while, Eden finally opened his mouth. He turned his head to take a look at Lily,
who was behind by Eric, and then walked out of the room.
After he left, Lily complained: "Why do you always block my sight?"
Hearing this, Eric turned around and looked down at her. As she was half supported, from his point of
view, the light of her chest was almost invisible.
"Look down by yourself." Then he took the disinfectant fluid from the kit.
"Oh my God!" Lily screamed, hurriedly got down, and buried her head in the pillow. Her hands kept
beating the pillow. It was too embarrassing. She was naked, and he saw it!
"Don't move." Looking at the girl who kept wriggling, Eric said with a bit of seriousness, but there was a
slight smile in his dark eyes.
After disinfecting and applying the medicine, Eric put away the medicine box. When he was about to
talk to Lily, he found that she had already fallen asleep.
She may be too tired to fall asleep while taking the medicine. Eric smiled, and he bent down and gently
rolled her over. "It was originally small, wouldn't you be afraid of being squeezed even smaller."
He covered her with a quilt and turned off the lights before he stepped out of the room.
"Mom?" When Eric just closed the door, his hand was still on the doorknob and he turned around. He
was surprised to see Angela sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Why are you in my room?" He lowered his voice deliberately and walked over.
Angela looked at him with a calm face, with a bit of warning in his tone, "Tonight, you helped her I
wouldn't say anything. Send her away after dawn, and you have to stay away from her from now on."
Eric frowned. He didn't expect that she would say something like that. He had never seen her speak to
him in such a tone.
"I don't care what you do in the past, but this time you have to listen to me." Angela continued,
"Although it was a mistake that happened in the school last time, I don't want it to become a fact in the
future."
"Mom, I know how to deal with this matter." Eric answered, with indescribable emotions in his black
eyes.
"Eric, I don't mean to control you." Angela's tone softened. "The girl's life is unknown, it's not suitable
for you, and you're still young, and I don't want you to fall in love at this time."
"Mom, her life is not unknown." Eric retorted.
"Her mother is a mistress who tries to destroy other people's family. Having a mother like her, do you
think she is a good person?"
"Mom, why are you acting like them?"
"Did I say anything wrong? Do you know her background? Do you know what her mother does?"
"I..." Eric was speechless, and in retrospect, he didn't know much about Lily, but he had known her for
so long and found that her stubborn strength made him distressed.
Even if she was hurt, she would face it with her head held high, never retreat.
"What? You have nothing to say?" Looking at her son, Angela tried to persuade him, "Eric, what I do is
good for you. I don't want you to be entangled with those people with bad reputation. It's bad for your
reputation as well."
Eric looked at his mother impatiently and said, "Mom, I promise that she is not that kind of person that
is said to be."
"How can you promise?" Angela laughed as if she was laughing at his ignorance. "I know you like her.
But no matter whether I agree or disagree with you, your grandfather will not agree. You heard what he
said to Claire today."
Eric frowned and wanted to retort, but he controlled himself, "Mom, I know what to do."
"Yes." She stood up and glanced at him with a meaningful look. "I always know you are smart, but you
don't want to compete with others. I'm going back. You should go to bed early."
"Okay, I'll send you back."
After sending Angela away, Eric returned to the living room. The whole person fell to the sofa, and his
eyes remained on the bedroom door. Nobody knew what he was thinking.
