Chapter 133 Confession (III)
Julian Sterling, after a pause, couldn't help but ask, "Lily, do you really hate me that much?"
This time, Lily didn't respond. Whether it was hatred or something else, she couldn't clearly distinguish anymore, but she knew she couldn't be with him.
Julian managed a rare smile, half-jokingly saying, "I'm glad you didn't just keep saying 'okay', or else I'd have to bang my head against a wall." He knew what she was thinking; she probably still hated him, although he truly believed that her inability to be with Ethan Hart wasn't entirely his fault.
Julian wanted to say more, but Lily already murmured softly, "Julian, please don't call again..."
Julian's heart clenched, his smile fading as he followed her lead, "Okay,

"What do you think?" Julian replied with a childish grin, his teeth a neat, bright white.That meant the child was safe. His first child – how could he possibly let anything happen to it?In fact, Julian had already arranged for people to watch over Lily Parker in her hometown. Ever since he learned she had visited the hospital, he had been restless, the cold seeping into his bones and clouding his mind. Even in his confusion, he remained fixated on this matter. He had made arrangements, suppressing the urge to keep her close. He thought if Lily truly decided against keeping the child, he would find a way to save it, though he didn't know what he would do with the child afterward.

In the surgical area, a nurse began to explain the procedure details to Lily, though she already knew them well. The mention of 'curettage' turned Lily's already pale face even whiter. She gripped Eleanor's hand tightly, trembling, her grip so firm that Eleanor felt pain. Eleanor's eyes welled up with tears, the scene painfully reminiscent of her own past.The girl scheduled before Lily was accompanied by her mother, both wearing grim expressions. The mother continuously berated her daughter for her irresponsibility. The daughter endured in silence. The procedure was brief, but when the girl emerged, her face was paler than paper, fragile as if a gust of wind could blow her away. Yet, her mother's scolding continued, fading only as they disappeared down the corridor.Then it was Lily's turn. Without Eleanor's support, she could barel

Having stayed at home for over a month, with the care and nourishing meals from Margret Parker, Lily's figure had filled out slightly, and she looked much healthier than she had in Lorehaven. This was what Julian had hoped to see, but on the other hand, he felt a pang of discomfort. He constantly wanted her by his side, to love, protect, and cherish her, hoping she would forget her absurd past. But he knew it was a difficult task, almost impossible, because Lily's heart was hard, especially towards him. Lily didn't say a word or even glance at him, heading straight for the bus stop near the hospital. Julian didn't dare touch her, fearing any struggle might harm the baby. He clenched his fists and followed her like a little attendant, so cautiously that anyone who knew him would be shocked. However, his limited patience evaporated

Mrs. Harper, seeing their affectionate display, felt it inappropriate to probe further. These days, young people getting married because of pregnancy wasn't a big deal. Besides, the young man was quite handsome and seemed well-matched with Lily. She nodded and smiled, saying to them, "You should come back to visit us. Mr. Harper and I still remember you fondly. Oh, and the piano room has been renovated. We've added two more pianos, so there's no need for the kind of squabbling you and Melody used to have." Lily's face turned red, and she playfully chided, "Mrs. Harper!" Mrs. Harper was Lily's music teacher. Although Lily had always been set on studying music and arts, she never neglected her academic subjects. Being gentle and well-mannered, she was always a favorite among the teachers. Melody, her classmate, was equally talented in piano but had a fiery temperament and loved to compete with Lily. However, when Melody went abroad in their second year of high school, what had seemed

Lily returned home, lost in thought. Margret Parker, hearing the door, quickly came out of the kitchen. She paused, then, wiping her hands on her apron, took hold of the distraught Lily, asking worriedly, "Honey? What's on your mind? Why did you come in without changing your shoes? Is something wrong... was the check-up not good?" Margret's face turned pale as she speculated.Lily snapped back to reality, patting her mother's hand and forcing a smile, "Mom, I'm fine, and so is the baby. I'm just feeling a bit tired." She kept Julian's matter to herself, her mind still in turmoil.Margret Parker breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Being pregnant does make you tire easily. You’ve come back just in time, I’ve made chicken soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot!”

The news of Henry inquiring about an internship for Lily quickly reached Julian Sterling, who was furious enough to blow his top. Others might not know, but he did. Lily’s pregnancy hadn’t been easy, with complications in the first two months. How could she even think of doing an internship in such a condition? It was absurd!To avoid Julian, Lily rarely left the house and didn’t answer her phone, seemingly intent on provoking him. After running out of patience, he resorted to calling her home.By chance, Lily was the only one there.Covering her mouth in disbelief, she scolded him, “How could you call me at home?” Her voice was soft but enough to convey her anger.Julian Sterling

At that moment, Lily felt powerless. Julian always had a way of making everyone follow his lead, willing or not. It had always been this way; she could never accomplish anything he disapproved of. Her first instinct was to leave, unwilling to entangle herself further.The sudden, loud "thud-thud-thud" echoed in the small classroom. Julian leaned against the piano, his slender fingers childishly roaming the black and white keys, his deep eyes fixed on Lily. His expression was smiling, but his tone was cold, “Hey, I paid a lot of money for private piano lessons here, to teach my son in the future. Why does the teacher want to leave as soon as she arrives? I remember you signed a contract, didn’t you?”It was clear to anyone that Julian was behind this. Besides, he was already proficient at the piano; he didn't need le
