Chapter 216 - 219: On the Other End of the Phone, There’s Another Woman
In just three days without seeing Lily Gray, Aidan Lucas’s mood had plummeted to the bottom.
He was never a talkative person, but these two days he seemed even more cold and silent, making people dare not approach.
Everyone thought that he was so worried about Hannah Ford that’s why he was like this.
After all, Hannah had been in the ICU room for a long time after the surgery.
When she would wake up depended on her own fate.
But in fact, the real reason for Aidan Lucas’s coldness had nothing to do with Hannah.
Every night there was no delicate body of the woman to embrace.
Every morning when he woke up, the woman was not sleeping peacefully in his arms.
He couldn’t kiss her beautiful eyes, her delicate little nose, her crystal clear cherry lips… It was driving him almost mad.
Aidan Lucas never thought that one day he would care about a woman like this.
Without even realizing what this represented, he involuntarily dialed the phone.
“When I’m not in Eastonia, you’d better behave. Lily… I don’t want to punish you for trivial matters.”
The less he could see her, the more he wanted to see her… He couldn’t help but wish he could tie her to his side.
Lily Gray didn’t understand why Aidan Lucas had suddenly changed, as if he were a different person.
He was more domineering than before and was even somewhat overwhelming.
But she didn’t plan to confront him directly, as countless lessons told her that provoking this man would only end up hurting herself in the end.
“Hmm, don’t worry… 1 know what to do.”
Lily Gray’s obedient attitude finally satisfied Aidan Lucas.
He was about to say something when the door of the observation room outside the ICU was suddenly pushed open.
“Ethan, 1 brought you some soup… You’ve been working hard these days…” A gentle and soft female voice came from the phone speaker.
Lily Gray was stunned, having clearly heard the sound from the other side.
Aidan Lucas’s eyes flashed with a thin anger, and his cold gaze swept towards Bella Scott who had just pushed the door open.
“I have something going on here, I’ll hang up first. Remember what you promised, don’t make me worry.” After saying that, the man hung up the phone.
Not even leaving a single explanation.
It wasn’t until the busy tone came from the phone speaker that Lily Gray came to her senses from the shock.
A woman bringing Aidan Lucas soup?
Were there other women by his side?
Unable to sleep all night, Lily Gray didn’t understand why she was suffering from insomnia.
She shouldn’t have had too much emotion… Even if she secretly fell in love with that person, she should have known better, right?
That man was never hers to begin with and not someone she should have had feelings for.
He never made any promises, and he didn’t even owe her an explanation.
Knowing all this, why did she still foolishly fall in love and become heartbroken for him?
“Young Lady, you don’t look too well. Are you too tired lately? If you’re too tired, don’t worry about things outside.”
When Ellie brought her breakfast, she asked kindly.
“It’s fine, 1 just had a nightmare last night and didn’t get a good rest. I’ll catch some sleep at the company in the afternoon.” Lily Gray tried to put on a spirited front.
“By the way, Ellie, do you know the Wellington family? Are the Wellingtons and the Lucas family close?”
“Well… not very close, they are just in the same circle and know each other. Mr. Wellington is on good terms with our young master, but the rest of the Wellington family is just average.”
Ellie was afraid that Lily Gray would get the wrong idea and didn’t dare to tell her that not just the young master, but the Lucas family and the Wellington family had been long-time acquaintances.
Lily Gray originally wanted to ask if there was a way to contact the Wellington family through the Lucas family.
After hearing what Ellie said, she gave up on the idea.
It seemed that she could only rely on herself for this matter..
