"Grandpa, let's go inside." With the permission, Lily helped Joe into the ward.
Walking to the ward bed, Joe said to Angela sincerely, "Mrs. Angela, I want to thank you on behalf of
Lily."
Then he bowed.
"I can't." She didn't expect Joe to do so, and she hastily reached out her hand to hold him. "Please take
a seat. You're an elder, I'm afraid that I can't accept your bow."
"This is my sincerest appreciation." With the support of Angela, Joe sat down.
Lily was shocked what her grandfather did.
"My dear child, thanks to you, Lily could be safe." Looking at Eric who was lying on the sickbed, Joe
said, "I will remember your kindness."
"Grandpa Joe, you don't have to thank me. It's my duty to save her." Eric replied in a calm tone.
Lily looked at him in disbelief. These three words were deeply touched her. Her heart was filled with a
kind of emotion, sweet and warm.
Angela also couldn't believe her son. She looked at her son in disbelief. How could she, as a mother,
not know his thoughts? She gave Lily a secret look with dissatisfaction.
When Joe heard these words, he laughed and said, "Eric, don't say that. Since you have saved Lily life,
I owe you and your family a favor."
Then he turned his head and looked at Angela. "If you need any help in the future, just tell me. I will try
my best to do anything I can."
"Mr. Joe, you are being too serious. The children are all right now. And you bowed to me just now. I
can't..."
"Mrs. Angela." Joe interrupted her and said stubbornly, "I always do what I say. If you refuse me, you
look down on me."
Angela was stunned by what he said. She didn't expect that he would say that, so she had to nod her
head and replied, "If there's anything you can help with, I'll definitely ask you."
"That's good."
When Eric saw Joe making a bow and promise, he was happy. Although the family didn't like Lily, her
grandpa loved her very much.
Seeing what her grandpa had done for her, Lily was very touched, even her eyes were red. This was
the first time that she had seen his grandpa bow to others.
"By the way, how did you fall from the cliff?" Joe asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Angela also looked at Eric, eager to know the truth.
"I only saw that someone was chasing after her. It seemed that someone wanted to kill her,"
As soon as Eric finished his words, Angela took a deep breath. She turned to Lily and asked, "Did you
make enemies outside?"
Lily shook her head and said, "I don't know who they are. They said that if I didn't go with them, I
should jump down. I can't go with them. Their words are so mean. When I was forced to make a choice
by them, Eric appeared. He held my hand when I fell down the cliff. As a result, he also fell down with
me."
Joe frowned. After a long while, he said, "I know Lily well. It's impossible for her to make enemies with
anyone."
However, Angela sun didn't agree with him but didn't say anything. After all, he was an elder and it was
inappropriate to argue with him.
Eric agreed with him on this matter. Her friends were little than anything else. She had no good friends
except Becky, and she didn't have bad friends. Of course, those who just made trouble for her didn't
count.
"I'm not make enemy." Lily lowered her head and said in a wronged tone.
Lucia was the most suspicious one, but she couldn't say it, because if she did, Lucia would definitely
know it and make the whole thing worse.
"I will investigate it. Don't think too much." Joe comforted her.
"Yes." Lily nodded.
After a short conversation, Joe took Lily and said goodbye to them.
When they got back to the ward, the bed of Claire was empty. Needless to say, Lucia and Dillon had
already taken her home.
Lily sneered. They were becoming more and more obvious now. At least they would treat him better in
front of her before, but now they just didn't care her anymore.
Joe frowned, took a chair and sat down. He said to Lily, "Lily, I want to discuss something with you."
Lily pulled up a chair and sat beside him. "Grandpa, what do you want to say?"
"Originally, I wanted you to live with them because I thought your mother had left and your father would
protect you and take care of you. But now, it seems that it's not the case. So I think you'd better go
back to the old house and live with me, okay?" Joe asked for her opinion.
Hearing that, Lily thought for a long time before she nodded. "Okay, I'm happy to live with grandpa in
the old house."
"Then stay in hospital for one more night tonight. Grandpa will pick you back tomorrow."
"Okay."
After a while, Lily sent Joe out of the hospital and the driver called Daniel was waiting for him.
As for the decision to move to the old house, Lily thought about it carefully. It was both good and bad.
But in comparison, it was better.
If she left the Qiao family, she could not pay attention to Lucia's actions or predict what she would do
next. But if she left, no matter what she did, she could do it without scruple, and her grandfather would
not stop her.
Another reason was that she didn't need to face their ridicule. On the contrary, if she moved back to the
old house, Lucia would be more anxious and certainly take actions. At that time, she could get more
evidence.
Being alone in the ward was kind of boring, and she wanted to talk to Eric. But she was afraid that
Angela would be unhappy, so she could only stand in front of the window and look down at the people
in hospital clothes on the lawn below, taking a walk and chatting.
At dusk, the door of the ward opened. Lily turned around and thought that a nurse was coming to
change fresh dressing for her wound. But when she saw the person who walked in, she was shocked.
"Lily, are you silly?" The woman's gentle voice took her mind back.
"Mom." Lily hugged Tina tightly and burst into tears, "I miss you so much! I miss you so much..."
"I know. I miss you too." While holding her daughter in her arms, Tina almost cried.
The mother and daughter meeting always made people cry and easily ignore others, so Lily didn't see
Kerr at all.
In order not to be disturbed, he put a sign "do not disturb" in front of the door, then closed it and looked
at them talking enthusiastically.
"Mom, why are you here?" Lily let go of Tina and wiped her eyes. With a deep nasal voice, she said,
"I've asked Uncle Colin to protect you. I've told you not to show up during this period of time, right?"
"You almost died, how could I not come?" Looking at her daughter sympathetically, Tina reached out
and tossed a strand of hair behind her ear. She noticed the bruises on her neck and asked, "Is there
any bruises on your neck? Do they want to kill you?"
Lily smiled helplessly. "Yes, they have been trying to kill me from the beginning."
"These people are so hateful!" She couldn't help crying, "Are they made of stone? How dare they
were!"
"Mom, I'm fine. Don't cry." Lily reached out to wipe her mother's tears. "Your daughter is standing in
front of you. You should be happy about it."
"You are so good at comforting me." Tina stopped crying and looked at her sympathetically with red
eyes. "Your uncle Kerr said that the police had already identified the suspect. I believe that the bad guy
will be soon caught."
"Uncle Kerr?" Lily was confused. When there is an uncle named Kerr?
It was not until now that Tina remembered the person who sent her here. She quickly turned to look at
Kerr, who had been standing quietly. She took the hand of Lily and introduced, "Lily, this is uncle Kerr."
"Kerr..." Lily's brain went blank for a few seconds when she saw Kerr, and it took her a while to come to
herself. "Mr. Mr. Kerr?"
"I prefer you to call me uncle Kerr." Kerr smiled generously, patting Lily's head, "I didn't expect your
daughter to be this old."
"You, you are my mother's friend?" She asked confusedly.
"Yes." He looked despondent and continued, "It was a long time ago. We have been friends since
then."
After saying that, he took a look at Tina with a little nostalgia.
Facing his gaze, Tina looked away subconsciously.
Lily had witnessed all this. After all, she was more than twenty years old and experienced a marriage in
her previous life. The first thought in her mind was that Kerr liked her mother!
Everyone was embarrassed. Lily quickly broke the atmosphere. "No wonder Uncle Kerr avenged me
today."
Kerr smiled and changed the subject to Tina. "In fact, your mother was going to see you with me this
morning, but your uncle Colin was worried about her, so she came to see you now."
After hearing her, Lily turned to look at her and said, "Mom, you shouldn't have come here. If Lucia
knows it, you will be very dangerous."
"Don't worry. They're protecting me well." Tina comforted her daughter softly, "We didn't come here until
they left."
"Yes." Lily embraced her again and said, "I don't want you to be in any danger."
I failed to save you last life, so you must live well this life.
She didn't speak out the last sentence, but said it in her heart.
"I know." Tina held her daughter in her arms, and patted her back to comfort her.
