Lambert glanced indulgently at Wythe. "If you like it, go ahead and drink! I'm sure she won't mind!"Penny's smile froze on her lips. Of course, she wouldn't mind; she just couldn't stand this little third wheel!Wythe obediently sat next to Lambert, waiting for his dad to serve him. After finishing Penny's breakfast, he licked his lips, somewhat unsatisfied."Dad, this isn't as delicious as Mom's, but it's passable!"Penny almost ground her teeth in anger. How dare this brat criticize her cooking! If he didn't like it, why did he eat it? She didn't make it specifically for her rival's child, did she?Over the next couple of days, Penny noticed that Wythe seemed to be deliberately causing trouble for her at the company! Why else would he always intervene whenever she got close to Lambert?So Penny decided she needed to come up with a permanent solution!That evening, when she returned home, Penny recounted everything that had happened at the Halsey company over the past few days to he
“Who is this person? Why did she push Penny?”"Don't you know? Isn't this Lydia? The future boss's wife, although now who knows if she still will be. She actually resorted to violence out of jealousy. I wonder if the boss will still be interested in her!""...”At the center of the gossip, Lydia stood expressionless, her slender shoulders appearing particularly fragile. Despite her calm demeanor, her face was deathly pale.Seeing Lambert approaching, the crowd fell silent. Lambert's sharp gaze swept over them. "Get back to work!"No one dared to question his command, so the crowd dispersed. Wythe wriggled out of Lambert's arms and hugged Lydia's legs. "Mom, it's okay now. Dad's here!"Lambert stepped forward and embraced Lydia's shoulders. "It's okay! I'm here for everything!"Lydia remained silent, her body stiff and uncertain. Could she trust him?Could she? For the first time, she had doubts!Meanwhile, an ambulance had arrived downstairs.Half an hour later, outside the emergency
Judith involuntarily took a step back, under Lambert's unquestionable gaze, while Lambert turned away directly, saying, "Lydia, you should head back now."Lydia lifted her head, about to retort, but seeing Lambert's resolute and concerned expression, she remained silent. Lambert repeated firmly, "Go back! And your facial injury needs attention too!"With a glance at Lambert, Lydia turned and left the hospital."She can't leave! She—" Judith's words were cut short by Lambert's warning glare. She felt as if her throat had been suddenly clenched shut, unable to utter a word.Philip tugged at her sleeve, and in the end, she didn't speak, simply following the doctors to Penny's ward.Meanwhile, Lydia walked out of the hospital gate, her mind in turmoil. Her head throbbed slightly, and Lambert's concern made her start to speculate. Did it signify that he still cared about her?Standing beneath the hospital building, the cool breeze tousled Lydia's long hair, mirroring the chaos within her.
Lydia was taken aback, instinctively retorting, "It was an accident! I didn't mean to harm you. I'm truly sorry for your injury...""Accident! You did it on purpose! You saw me standing at the staircase, so you deliberately rushed from the entrance! Get out! I don't want to see you!" Penny screamed loudly."We didn't come to see you, we came to see Dad!" Wythe interjected, stepping forward to pull Lambert away.Since Lydia's appearance, Lambert's gaze had been fixed on her."What are you doing in my daughter's room?" A sharp voice shattered the room's tranquility as Judith angrily rushed in, fearing Lydia might harm Penny."Mom! Get this murderer out of here! I don't want to see her!" Seeing her mother, Penny seemed to gain confidence, feeling supported.Lydia, on the other hand, turned pale at being called a murderer!Lambert stepped forward, standing in front of Lydia. "Please calm down. The situation is still uncertain. Before we know the full story, let's not make any rash accusat
Lambert turned to Penny."I'll be back in a moment."Only then did Penny release her grip on Lambert's sleeve, but she shot Lydia a challenging look. Lydia exited first.The oppressive atmosphere in the ward made it difficult for her to breathe. Meanwhile, Lambert walked to the door but didn't come out."Lambert, what's going on? Why are you suddenly so good to that Penny?" Lydia couldn't help but ask.She couldn't accept the sight of the man who once cherished her now holding another woman in his palm. The feeling was unbearable.Lambert furrowed his brows slightly. "This has nothing to do with you! I'll handle the hospital matters.""How does it have nothing to do with me? I caused the harm! If you're only being nice to that woman because of me, then I'd rather take care of her myself!" Lydia raised her voice, feeling frustrated."Lyd," Lambert began, sounding irritated, "just go home for now. Don't come to the hospital for a few days."Lydia was incredulous. "Lambert, what do you m
"Wythe, do you think I've been wrong from the start? Maybe I shouldn't have been with Lambert from the beginning!"Lydia's words made Wythe's heart skip a beat. "Mom, what's wrong? You and Dad have always been so in love, haven't you?""I thought we were too, but today I suddenly realized, maybe Lambert doesn't love me at all!""How is that possible? Mom, don't jump to conclusions! Did someone say something to you at the hospital?" Wythe was puzzled."No! Wythe, it's something I saw myself. I saw Lambert personally taking care of that Penny, and their relationship looks very intimate.""Mom, you must have seen it wrong, or maybe Dad has some reason. If Dad wanted to be with Penny, why wait until now?" Wythe tried to analyze for Lydia.But Lydia couldn't listen, her heart felt like a crystal ball sealed again, with no openings left.Seeing Lydia so upset, Wythe sighed inwardly and quickly dialed Lambert's number after returning to his room."Dad...""What's wrong, Wythe?""Mom said you
He seemed to be massaging her legs for her, his expression extremely focused, completely unaware of Lydia's gaze.Meanwhile, Penny noticed Lydia looking at her, and she smirked, flashing a provocative smile. Then, she slightly parted her lips and silently mouthed a few words.Despite the distance, Lydia unexpectedly understood what Penny said, "You lost! He's mine!"Lydia's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.She felt this seemingly tender scene was glaringly harsh. Awkwardly, she took Wythe's hand and left, her mind vaguely making a decision!Perhaps she and Lambert were simply not compatible. Whether it was his parents' matters or Penny's affairs, along this journey, she felt increasingly unable to fathom Lambert's heart. She didn't know if the things she once insisted on still had any meaning.After Lydia left, Lambert, who had been squatting, stood up and walked back to Penny's side. "All set!"Penny smiled, "Lambert, you're amazing. I thought we'd have to call someone to fix
Nydia chuckled, "Don't worry, feelings like this will fade over time. Just relax. Penny is the one I've set my eyes on. I won't let her suffer. As for Lydia, if she knows what's good for her, there won't be any problems. If she doesn't, I have plenty of ways to deal with her!"Judith nodded heavily, "Nydia, thank you so much!""Don't mention it. We're family now. Doing these things is only natural. Besides, I know my son well. He may seem cold, but he's warm-hearted. Over time, he and Penny will naturally be sweet to each other."Nydia's words completely reassured Judith.Just as Nydia and Judith's conversation ended, Lambert returned with Penny. Seeing Nydia, Lambert's expression soured. Judith, being perceptive, realized that mother and son had something to discuss, so she quickly found an excuse and left the ward with Penny.This was the first meeting between Lambert and his son since their last argument. Lambert felt somewhat annoyed, especially seeing Nydia's attitude towards Pen
