“I don’t need to investigate you. As long as I want, everything about you is not a secret.”
Lily is speechless by his words, “So what do you want?”
“Nothing.” Ryan pauses and withdraws his hand. Despite the restraint, there is still a red mark left on
the woman’s delicate chin. He slightly wrinkles his eyebrows and soon releases them, “If you’re unable
to bear it, you can find me, I’ll help you.”
Lily raises her eyebrows; she does not understand why he said this all of sudden. However, she has no
intention to ask further, “Thank you, Mr. Ryan, but you don’t have to bother.”
Ryan stares at her for a while, and then raises his hand to put something into her pocket. Lily is so
scared because of his sudden approach and stands up. Fortunately, this man just does such a
movement and directly turns to leave.
Seeing that mighty figure disappears at the intersection, she takes out the thing from the pocket,
trembling. It is another business card with no title or logo on it, only a line of phone numbers.
She squeezes it tightly, which makes the corner of it stuck in the soft flesh of her palm, it is a little
prickly. She does not understand why Ryan does so at this juncture, which makes her becomes more
and more uneasy.
…
After Harry’s rehabilitation check is over, Bree and Lily finally ease up. The recovery condition is very
optimistic, there has no more problems. At the same time, Lily has no choice but to face Rex again.
She still has a lot of things in the Villa that has not been packed up. By accumulating the time, Harry’s
illness has been quite long, and she keeps on evading. In the end, she needs to face this day.
Lily wants to go during the day, but she has no confidence and delays it until the evening. According to
Crystal’s information from Joe, Rex has social engagement tonight. It is a particularly important
banquet that he might come back by midnight.
Only then she is relieved and drags a suitcase to the Villa.
When she opens the door, she sees Fanny. The kind-hearted old woman immediately reddens her
eyes and apologizes, “Sorry, Lily, I…”
Lily raises her hand to interrupt before she finishes, “Fanny, it’s none of your business, don’t
apologize.”
Fanny does not know what to say right away. At first, she is happy that she is finally back, but when
she sees the suitcase in her hand, her expression slightly changes, “Lily, are you going to….”
“I come here to pack my things; I forgot to tell you in advance.” Actually, she does not forget, she is
afraid that Fanny would tell Rex.
Fanny stands on the side with a complicated expression. Rex has informed her before, if Lily is back,
she must contact him. But considering the current situation…
By looking at her awkwardness, she smiles comfortably, “Just tell him.”
She has expected that he cannot come home tonight, thus, she comes.
Fanny watches as she goes upstairs with the suitcase and then sighs helplessly. She then picks up the
landline phone and dials Rex.
