Chapter 283: IS IT JUST A COINCIDENCE?

Lisa shook her head. "It\'s okay Hailee, I\'m just worried because I\'m rarely around you and can\'t be with you." Lis then grabbed Hailee\'s hand.

"There\'s no need to worry about that, Ramon and I have a very good relationship," Hailee replied in a determined tone.

"That\'s good then, even though you\'ve only known each other for a very short time, but you can live through this marriage well," Lis said dreamily.

Hailee\'s smile instantly faded...

Short relationship? Shouldn\'t Lis be thinking that Ramon had been in a relationship with Hailee secretly for two years? Why is she now saying that they only met recently?

Does Liz know something?

Hailee\'s inquisitive gaze made Lis realize the mistake she had just made, she slowly turned her head and found Hailee biting her lip, her habit whenever she felt like saying something but trying to refrain from doing so.

"Yes, Hailee, I know it," said Lis straightforwardly. The slip of words she just had now, of course, was difficult to justify. After all, Lis didn\'t intend to keep this from Hailee any longer, so maybe what she did earlier was a way for her to say this to her daughter-in-law.

"What do you know, mom?" Hailee squinted, she didn\'t want to look too defensive, but that was how she felt right now.

Immediately, the atmosphere turned more serious and tense as the topic of conversation shifted to something they shouldn\'t have touched.

"You are not the woman Ramon dated for two years while he kept it a secret," Lis said curtly, but that was enough to explain everything. Telling Hailee that her big lie had been discovered by Lis.

Hailee felt the air being knocked out of her body, making it difficult for her to breathe and not only that, her hands were shaking as her mind was racing to find the right words to explain to Lis.

Hailee knew that her lie was fatal, but she didn\'t want Lis to misunderstand her and think that Hailee had been with Ramon with bad intentions.

This was not a secret, many beautiful women from various walks of life constantly tried to approach Ramon with various motives, but most of them were, of course, negative.

However, what Hailee and Ramon have is pure, they love each other. Ramon said that he loved Hailee and Hailee felt the same way about him.

Hailee then sighed, she knew why Lis didn\'t elaborate or utter another word, it was because she was waiting for Hailee to explain to her. "I didn\'t mean to lie, I was in a difficult position at the time, so I had to do that."

Hailee raised her head and looked Lis right in the eye, she could see that her mother-in-law was listening without interrupting her explanation. This was a good thing, it meant Lis had an open mind to hear Hailee\'s side of the story.

"Ramon knows it all," Hailee concluded.

Liz frowned. "Ramon knew?" she looked at Hailee in disbelief as the girl nodded. "Has Ramon got all his memories back?"

Hailee shook her head. "No. Ramon hasn\'t regained his memory yet." And at that moment, Hailee could see an odd relief in Lis\' eyes.

Why is Lis relieved that Ramon\'s memory hasn\'t recovered yet? Hailee decided not to tell Lis about the snippets Ramon managed to recall. Leaving it for Ramon to decide on talking to his mother about it was the best solution.

"But he still chose you and continued the marriage? Or did he realize it after you two got married?" The wrinkles between Liz\'s eyebrows deepened. Sometimes she didn\'t understand what was going on in Ramon\'s mind, even though he was her son.

Lis found out about Hailee\'s background and everything that happened to this woman moments before she found out that she was pregnant. And the facts she learned were quite astonishing.

She didn\'t expect that such a thing could happen to Hailee, or to anyone. However, still, the fact that Hailee had lied to Ramon bothered Lis, even though she could see that Ramon seemed happy with this woman.

"Ramon knew I wasn\'t his girlfriend even before we got married," Hailee added hastily. "This marriage was not what I suggested, at first it was just our deal, but things went beyond both of our expectations, and we are really happy now."

Lis then closed her eyes, she took a deep breath. "Hailee, I don\'t want to judge your relationship," she said in a low voice.

Yes, Lis didn\'t want to judge Hailee just from her lies, because she knew the reason behind her lie. Perhaps, if Lis were in her position, she would have done the same, and what\'s more important was that Hailee didn\'t show any ill will toward Ramon.

"But, I just want to tell you one thing." Lis opened her eyes and looked sharply at Hailee. "Keep your intentions pure toward Ramon and I will let this lie be forgotten."

Hailee felt that she was being threatened, and that was exactly what Lis was doing right now.

"But, if you try to do anything harmful to him, I won\'t stand by." Lis took Hailee\'s hand and squeezed it gently, but it was also a warning, saying that she was serious about every word she said. "You will understand it later after your child is born, but I want to tell you one thing first. That a mother\'s instinct to protect her child can be terrifying at times."

"I understand," Hailee replied calmly. "I really love Ramon and you have my word, because just like you, I will not stand by when my family is hurt."

And Hailee\'s last sentence could be said to have a double meaning, delivering a hidden warning behind it cleverly.

After the conversation, the atmosphere calmed down again, but it still didn\'t return to the way it used to be, because both of them were busy with their own thoughts while the car drove on the busy street.

================

Ian pulled out the cell phone Ramon had given him and it was a secure network for him to call the Tordoff heir.

Ramon warned Ian that he should only contact him if the mysterious person who wanted to kill Ramon, had contacted him.

and just as he expected, the mysterious man again contacted Ian to threaten him with his sister\'s safety and Ian answered them as Ramon had taught him.

And now he was waiting for his phone to connect to Ramon\'s.

"As you said, he contacted me and asked me to meet him," Ian did not bother with uttering a greeting when the phone call was finally picked up by Ramon. He immediately cut to the chase.

"When and where?" asked Ramon, he was driving to the hospital Hailee mentioned. And of course Ian\'s call was answered on speaker mode. Ramon didn\'t want to have a second accident in this situation.

"Somewhere on the outskirts of town, exactly five days from today," answered Ian.

Hearing Ian\'s answer, Ramon frowned. Five days from today? It was the day his company\'s celebration party would be held…

Is this just a coincidence?
