Chapter 500: 503: Gaining Friendship (please read the author's note carefully)
One day, Skye Brown brought an unexpected visitor to the Gray family mansion to visit her.
“Lily, this is Dylan Wellington’s sister. She was kidnapped with you before, and she was in the hospital for a while. When she heard about your situation, she wanted to come to see you.”
To the amnesic Lily Gray, Joan Wellington should be a complete stranger.
But for the Lily Gray who was pretending to lose her memory, it was a bit different.
Joan’s performance during the kidnapping had left a deep impression on her.
This was a brave and kind-hearted girl. Although she might have some temperamental issues, it was in times of crisis that one’s true character could be revealed.
“Mr. Wellington’s sister…?” Lily Gray smiled warmly at Joan Wellington and said, pretending not to remember, “I’m sorry, I really don’t have any impression of you. What’s your name?”
“My name is Joan Wellington, Miss Gray. Although you don’t remember anything, I came here today to apologize to you.”
As Joan looked at Lily Gray, her eyes immediately turned red.
She suddenly bowed to Lily Gray, “Miss Gray, I’m sorry. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have been kidnapped or lost your memory. When I heard that you had lost your memory, I felt so guilty… At that time, I insisted on taking you to the garden to chat, and that gave the criminals an opportunity to seize.”
Both Lily Gray and Skye Brown didn’t expect Joan Wellington to suddenly choke up and apologize.
The two were startled and hurriedly helped Joan up.
“Miss Wellington, please don’t… You see, I’m fine now, and you didn’t know there would be danger in the garden beforehand. It’s not your fault.”
“No, I shouldn’t have taken you there. I… I…” Joan Wellington was emotionally unstable, thinking about the words her brother Dylan had said to her before.
Then, she recalled the words ‘Scott family’ the kidnappers had mentioned in the car.
Joan looked at Lily Gray with even more guilt in her eyes.
Could what her brother said be true?
Was all of this either arranged by Hannah Ford or her mother?
No, it couldn’t be… Hannah was so kind, how could she possibly do such a thing?
Joan swallowed the words she was about to say.
In any case, unless her brother caught the only kidnapper who had escaped and dug out the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes from him, she would never believe that this had anything to do with Hannah Ford.
“Joan, what’s wrong?” Skye Brown saw Joan suddenly lost in thought and gently shook her, “You really don’t need to feel guilty. Didn’t I tell you before we came? Lily is not a petty person, and you didn’t do it on purpose. So don’t be sad.”
“Yeah, Miss Wellington. Your name is Joan Wellington, right? From now on, I’ll call you Joan, just like Skye.” Lily Gray took Joan’s hand and gave her a friendly smile.
“Joan, since we were once kidnapped together, we can be considered as having shared in adversity. From now on, I’ll call you Joan, and you can call me Lily, okay?”
Joan looked at Lily Gray’s beautiful smile and couldn’t help but nod, “Alright, let’s be good friends!”
Before the truth came to light, let her protect Lily Gray well.

Meanwhile, a private jet equipped with a medical team and medical instruments was flying from M Country to Eastonia.
On the plane, Hannah Ford, who had already learned that Lily Gray and Ethan Wilson had quarreled and that Lily had moved out of the Lucas family home.
A calculating smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Well, Eastonia, she, Hannah Ford, was coming back.
