"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.
"Yes. In fact, in A City, as long as people know that you are my son, their attitude towards me will be
better. I know what their intentions are, but for Valerie, it has been too long. I really forgot... Or perhaps,
I just didn't want to believe it."
"I don't want to believe that there was no one around me who is genuinely kind to me."
Lillian heaved a long sigh.
In fact, she already knew in her heart that there was no one who treated her kindly from the bottom of
their heart.
"Auntie Ford..."
Coralie also felt a little sad for her when she heard Lillian's words from the back where she stood.
Although she felt it was not easy to befriend someone like Lillian, who loved to take advantage of
others and who was selfish, she knew that Lillian's feelings for Valerie must've been true.
"Coralie." When Lillian saw Coralie, she frowned slightly. "You helped me when I was kidnapped last
time. In fact, I know that and I also wanted to thank you, but I just couldn't bear to lower my ego."
"Huh? There's no need. That was... in the past."
Coralie saw Lillian's sincerity and hesitated about whether she should tell her the truth. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
However, she thought about it and held back. Although one of the two events was accidental, she still
wanted to protect herself. Hence, since Lillian had misunderstood, she would just let it go on.
That way, she would also have this one good memory of her and wouldn't bother her too much in the
future.
"Well, I won't care so much about your relationship with Skylar in the future. You just need to be
responsible for giving birth to the baby in your belly, that's all."
Lillian looked at Coralie's slightly bulging belly and realized what she had been doing in the past few
years.
In the end, after all that had happened, wasn't it still Coralie who was still by Skylar's side?
"Since we are all here, let's talk about something."
While Skylar and Coralie were talking to Lillian, the doctor came in.
"Doctor."
"Here's the thing. We suggest that the patient undergo a heart bypass surgery," the doctor stated while
looking over the patient's data. "But considering your good family background, we suggest that you
head to a better hospital."
Although this was a minor surgery, it still involved an operation of the thoracic cavity.
The doctor was afraid that in case of any mishaps, the hospital wouldn't be able to afford it.
"Then, we'll talk about it first."
Skylar nodded.
"Okay, tell me your decision after you've discussed it."
After that, the doctor left.
Lillian definitely wanted to request to be transferred to another hospital for surgery. She was living a
good life now. If anything bad happened to her, she would not be able to enjoy her days.
Three days later, when Coralie could be discharged from the hospital, Lillian was also transferred to
Harvey's hospital.
After all the hospitalization procedures were done, Coralie conducted a maternity test in the hospital
while she was at it.
After completing the conventional examination, she headed back to Lillian's ward. She took the test
sheet and walked into a ward while looking at it. She sat on the chair on one side and continued to look
at the small arrows according to her memory.
"Beauty, are you here to see the doctor, or are you in the wrong room?"
A man's voice sounded.
Coralie's first reaction was to question why there was a man in Lillian's room.
She suddenly looked up and saw a man lying on the bed with bandages all over his body; his face was
completely bruised.
"Are you... the model lawyer?"
Even though the man in front of her had been beaten until his face was completely bruised and
swollen, she could recognize in a glance that he was Yoel Jakeman.
