After Lily hears his words, her mind was weighted off. "I'm certainly relieved to know this."
Bennett is the leading light in the industry, and he never says anything unreliable. Now that he says
that, he is definitely confident enough.
Gladys sits by quietly, listening and not interrupting them when they are talking, which makes her
agreeable and loveable.
After finishing their meal, they go to the flower shop. Bennett leaves first after he briefly takes a look at
the decoration and structures of the shop.
Lily sees that Gladys takes the initiative to work. She walks to her and asks, "Gladys, if the shop
reopens, are you willing to come?"
"Yes!" Gladys agrees without hesitation and doesn't even ask about her salary.
Lily smiles at her, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Gladys almost pats her chest to promise, "Lily, you know that I am a college graduate. It is
not easy to find a job in J City. Even if I find one, it may not suit me. And I really like these plants.
Furthermore, I like you very much. I will be very happy to work for a boss I like."
These are fine words. But Lily knows that this is not a courtesy, but out of sincerity.
Both of them work to make money. Lily is touched by her words. She raises her hand and pats her
shoulder like a sister. "If you are willing to come, I'll give you a 25% pay raise. I can't come every day in
the future. And you will be the manager. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as Waiting Flower
Store opens, you don't need to worry about the promotion and salary increase."
Hearing that, Gladys is so glad that her eyes wide open. "Really! Lily, you're too good. I love you so
much!"
Looking at the little girl who hugs her, Lily feels quite warm. Her life seemingly starts to get better.
…
Lily works till 3:30 p.m. And then she goes to the school to pick up Adair.
When the car reaches there, the school gate opens. Not long after, Adair and his classmates are led
out of the gate by their teacher.
Lily gets off the car and waves at Adair before the red line. "Adair, here!"
Adair sees Lily in the crowd. He runs over to her happily and gives her a hug. "Mom, you are here to
pick me up!"
When the soft little body hits Lily, she feels warm and tenderhearted. Lily touches his furry little head
and says, "I'll take you home. Have you attentively listened to teachers today?"
"Yes, yes. Teachers praised me for doing the homework well!" As Adair speaks, he proudly shows her
the stars on his shirt under the school uniform. "The stars will only be given to good students."
Lily hurriedly praises him, "You are awesome!"
Adair smiles and looks behind her. "Mom, where is dad?"
"Dad is busy working at home. You'll see him when we get back."
"Then let's go quickly!"
Lily looks at the little boy holding her hand and walking forward with small steps. She doesn't know how
to describe this feeling. Every time she talks about such kind of topics with him, she feels especially
happy. She does not even know why.
Perhaps it has something to do with instinct. Only a mother knows the feeling of being related by blood.
After getting in the car, Lily plans to go to the supermarket nearby to buy some fresh ingredients and
snacks for Adair.
Adair's snack intake is strictly limited. Now that he can eat them, he keeps chirping excitedly along the
way.
Lily drives the car to the open-air parking lot in front of the supermarket. It is close to the end of the day.
There are a lot of cars in the parking lot. Therefore, it's difficult to find an empty parking space.
She drives back and forth for two rounds but finds no empty space. Just as she turns to the
underground parking lot to have a look, a large SUV suddenly drives over from the opposite direction.
It is in the outer lane, and the speed is very fast. If Lily makes a turn, the two cars will collide with each
other. Lily immediately swings the steering wheel to the right without hesitation. However, even so, she
doesn't completely dodge that car.
The SUV's head hits the left headlight on her car and then it slides all the way from the headlight to the
door of the driver's seat. Its inertia is so large that the door sags and her thigh is stuck.
Because she swings the steering wheel, the right headlight crashes into the street lamp pole. And its
speed is slower than the SUV. Therefore, Adair, who is in the passenger seat, is not hurt.
The other party is forced to stop the car. Through the front windshield, Lily vaguely sees a man and
woman. The man is obviously shocked, while the woman is talking about something.
She endures the pain on her legs and looks at Adair, who is clearly frightened. "Are you alright, Adair?"
Adair is in a daze. He looks outside and then at Lily. His big eyes immediately turned red. "Mom, did we
just have an accident?"
When Lily sees that Adair is about to cry, she feels hurt. "It's fine. It's just a small accident. Are you
hurt?"
Adair shakes his head. "No..."
"That's good. I will get off to deal with it. You sit in the car and don't get off, okay?" Lily unties her seat
belt and instructs Adair.
Adair nods. "I see. Mom, be careful."
"Don't worry."
After Lily gets off the car, the man and the woman also get off. They drove on the wrong side and made
a turn at such a narrow corner at a very fast speed without any hints, which is terribly dangerous.
Lily thought that the two would sincerely apologize when they got down and discuss how to deal with it
after checking the condition of cars. Unexpectedly, before the man speaks, the woman scolds sharply,
"Well. How did you drive a car? We were driving on. Why did you suddenly make a turn?"
Lily is shocked for a moment by her twisted words and recrimination. But in the next second, she
understands what is going on.
That woman is afraid that Lily will demand damages because her car looks good. Therefore, she first
complains, right?
Lily planned to settle the matter in a friendly manner, but now she changes her mind. Since their
attitude is bad, there is no need to talk anymore. She takes out her phone. "Needless to say. Just call
the police."
As soon as she says that, the woman is dumbstruck. She doesn't expect that she is so direct, without
even a single word of nonsense.
The woman is panicked, "You ... what did you say? Call the police? We don't have time to waste with
you!"
Lily's expression doesn't change. She calmly looked at them and says, "Then how do you deal with it?"
The man who has been standing at the side without saying anything finally opens his mouth. His tone
is far ruder than the woman’s. "You stinking bitch, you drive without eyes and want to blame someone
else?"
Lily's face clouds over. She raises her voice, "Keep your mouth clean!"
"Who do you think you are?" The man says as he walks towards Lily. "I will still beat you, believe it or
not!"
