In the next two days, Lily was very angry. Her good impression of Kerr had gone. Now in her eyes, he
was totally a scum!
He was already married and his son was 22 years old, but he still wanted to find a woman outside, and
that woman was not someone else, and that woman was her mother, which made her very angry. She
couldn't swallow it. The most hateful thing in her life was the word mistress!
Because of this, Lily didn't go to find Tina for two days. She felt it was a shame. If it weren't for the
safety of that place, she would have picked up her mother directly!
During this time, when Kerr called her, she refused all his phone calls and even blacklisted his number.
Sometimes, when Tina called her at night, she would change the topic or directly say that she wanted
to sleep, and then she hung up.
The second class was over on Friday today. When the break time came, Lily walked into the classroom
from the washroom. Unexpectedly, she saw Kerr talking with the head teacher while walking towards
the classroom.
"Becky, can you ask for leave for my head teacher for me? You can look for any excuse you want."
Then she took her backpack and ran out of the classroom.
Becky had no idea what was going on when Lily disappeared.
She returned to the old house early, but Joe was not at home. Lily didn't want to be idle either, so she
went to the study and found out what she has been reading these days. Looking at the books related to
the company's operations, but she couldn't calm down and decided to go to the kitchen.
She hadn't brought him food in the past two days. So she decided to make dinner for him tonight. After
all, he was going to be discharged the day after tomorrow.
Actually, Lily also felt a little strange about the whole thing. She had been very angry when she thought
of Kerr in the past two days. But every time she saw Eric, the anger disappeared inexplicably. Her mind
was following him.
After the lunch was ready, Lily put all the lunch into the heat preservation box, and then went back to
the room to change her clothes. Since Joe was not at home, and Daniel was also not at home, she had
to take a taxi to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Lily went straight to the ward of Eric. There was no one else in the ward,
as today was earlier than the time when she brought food two days ago.
"Why are you here so early today?" Putting down the book in his hands, Eric looked up at her and
asked, "Did you skip class?"
"Yeah, I skipped class." Lily admitted generously. She went to the hospital bed with the lunch box, put it
on the bedside cabinet, and then took the washbasin into the bathroom.
Somehow, Eric laughed, "Are you skipping class so bright?"
"Aren't you happy that I skipped classes to cook for you?" Lily's voice came from the bathroom.
"Yes, very happy."
Lily brought some hot water to the bed and lifted the washbasin a little higher. "Wash your hands."
Eric smiled and washed his hands in the water. Then he wiped his hands with a dry towel at the edge
of the basin, and put them back into the basin.
After Lily went into the bathroom again, she put the washbasin back and began to set the dinner table.
Eric just looked at her quietly, his eyes moving with her as if glued to her.
After Lily put the dishes on the dining table, she handed a pair of chopsticks to Eric and said, "You will
be discharged the day after tomorrow. I will have dinner with you tonight."
Taking a glance at her, Eric took the chopsticks from her and asked, "Will you come to the hospital
when I leave?"
"No, I have to go to the company with grandpa on the weekend." Then she looked up at him and
continued, "And I'm afraid that your mother will be unhappy when she sees I come here."
"Ok." Disappointment flashed through Eric's eyes. He picked up a dish with chopsticks and sent it into
his mouth.
"Pickled spareribs, your favorite." Lily put the food in his bowl and told him, "Have a good rest at home
when you are discharged from the hospital. Don't go anywhere."
"Yes."
"You should also read the books that I brought for you."
"Yes."
"If you can't understand it, you can check it online. Since you have to help your grandfather with the
company affairs, try to read more books."
"Yes."
"Alas, I find that our fates are so similar." Lily changed the subject all of a sudden.
"Well Huh?" Eric stopped eating and looked at her. Suddenly he smiled and said, "It's not like you at all.
When I was at home, Grandpa would nag me; when mom will nag me, and now you will nag me."
"I didn't!" Lily was unhappy, "I was just reminding you. And I did it for your own good. Just think about it.
Frank is a few years older than you, and he is more experienced than you. More importantly, he is very
scheming. I am afraid that you may suffer a lot."
"Who is the elder?" Eric suddenly asked.
"Of course..." Before she could say the word "I", Lily stopped and looked at him with some disapproval.
"You."
"Since I am older than you, do you think I am not as thoughtless as you?"
"I'm afraid that you may have missed many things because of your carelessness."
Eric smiled at her and said nothing. He lowered his head and continued to eat. He enjoyed her concern
for him. It seemed good to have someone around him and constantly speaking to him.
Seeing that he didn't respond but lowered his head to eat, Lily frowned unhappily. "Hey, do you
remember what I said?"
"Yes." Eric nodded, "Yes, I do."
When they finished eating, it was Lily who did the dishes. As soon as she sat down, Lily wanted to say
something to him when the ward door was opened and Angela came in with a lunch box.
"Aunt Angela," Lily stood up.
Hearing Lily's words, Angela also saw the heat preservation box on the bedside table. She glared at
Eric unhappily and said, "Why don't you tell me that someone brought food to you?"
"I forgot it." Eric replied calmly.
Speaking of this, Angela couldn't think of any good reason to persuade him. Then, Angela put the lunch
box down with great force and said, "Have you ever remembered that I'm your mother? When you were
admitted to hospital at the beginning, you said someone was responsible for bringing you food and I
needn't care about your food. However, when nobody else delivered you food, you called me. Now
someone sent food to you. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Mom, I really forgot it." Eric explained. In fact, he wasn't sure whether Lily would come or not today,
because she sometimes came.
"Aunt Angela, please don't be angry. Let's sit down and have a talk." Lily hurried forward and tried to
stop them, fearing that they would quarrel.
"I'm teaching my son." Angela looked at Lily unhappily.
The implication of this sentence was very obvious. She was an outsider.
If it was someone else, Lily would have refuted back. But she was the mother of Eric. It was not good to
offend her, so she endured it.
"Mom, don't be mad at her." Eric complained.
"Am I getting angry at her?" "I'm just teaching you." Angela replied.
Lily felt that their relationship would be more complicated if she continued to stay here. So she said,
"Aunt Angela, I have something to do, so I have to go now."
Then she walked towards the door with the empty lunch box.
"Lily..." Eric wanted her to stay longer.
Stopping her steps, Lily turned around and looked at him. She smiled, "Don't make Auntie angry. She is
just concerned about you. I should go now. I will come back to see you when I have time."
Seeing her walking away, Eric was a little disappointed, but he was also a little dissatisfied. "Mom, she
did nothing wrong. Why are you always against her?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you last time?"
"No. but she is not the kind of person you think. Didn't you see the news two days ago?"
"Do you think mom mind who she is? She is so scheming at such a young age. Don't forget that she
once pushed her sister into the water in Gu family."
"Mom, how many times do I have to tell you? She didn't push others, but she was pushed into the
water by others. Why do you prefer to believe what other people said rather than your son's?"
"Eric, what I'm doing is good for your. If you are still so stubborn, no one will care about you if anything
happens in the future."
"I can care myself."
"You..."
After a long quarrel between them, Eric didn't want to continue and lied down directly. He was a little
annoyed by his mother's prejudice against Lily.
It was completely dark when Lily walked out of the hospital. She had been in a bad mood before, but
after being mentioned by Angela, her mood became even worse.
She walked step by step with an empty lunch box in her hand, thinking of taking a walk to relieve the
mood before taking a taxi home.
She lowered her head and looked at her shadow that had been drawn long under the street lamp.
Suddenly she smiled and looked up ahead. The winding road could not see the end.
After walking for a long time, Lily stopped. Not knowing how far she had walked, she looked around
and found there were not many cars on the street. It was very quiet around, which made her a little
nervous.
She looked up to the other side of the road, hoping to take a taxi. But she waited and didn't see a taxi
coming. At this moment, a minibus stopped in front of her.
The door was opened suddenly and the two people who jumped out of the car rushed directly at her.
Lily had never seen such terrible scene before. She turned around and ran away. But before she took a
few steps, her arm was grabbed by someone.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Lily tried her best to struggle, the lunch box in her hand directly slashed at the
two men. Then she seized the opportunity to escape, stumbled several times.
"Help, help..." She ran and cried for help, hoping someone could hear her. After all, they were on the
road. Although there were few cars on the road, there was a hope that she was rescued.
