Nathaniel reflected on his mother's words and realized he was beginning to view Lily as the Lodge family's most mysterious and noble member."Lily," he raised his head and looked at her. His voice choked a little when he opened his mouth to call for her.Lily was silent. "Your woman is still inside," She motioned in the direction of the operating room with her mouth and said, "Hold your act and wait until she comes out before you put it on."Nathaniel was silent.So was Olivia.She never saw Lily being so vicious before. It was pretty funny! It was entertaining to see Nathaniel's face as he tried to talk but was restrained."What happened to Mel?" Nathaniel asked with a sigh. "She followed me," Lily said directly, "She wanted to grab me but lost her step and fell." After a pause, she added, "She seems to be pregnant and has bled a lot." "Miscarriage?" Nathaniel asked. It seemed that he also knew about Melanie's pregnancy. Lily confessed, "The doctor s
Startled by Lily’s aura, Nathaniel nodded over and over. "Yes, I know you didn't do it. Even if you did, the incident can’t be as simple as a miscarriage. After all, you..." When Nathaniel met Lily’s eyes, he choked up. "After all, I, too, have experienced it, and I know what you’re capable of."Lily rolled her eyes at Nathaniel and did not bother to reply to what he had said. "Nate, I don't care what tricks you guys are up to, and I don't care why you’re fighting. It has nothing to do with me. I sent her to the hospital and asked you to come and settle the bills. I just want to make things clear. If you provoke me again, don't blame me for being rude.""Let's go." Lily had just wanted to clear things up but ended up feeling disgusted when faced with these two."Don't go, Lily!" Nathaniel suddenly reached out to grab her hand. Lily quickly moved her hand out of the way, not letting him catch it. "Mel and I broke up," he said scornfully after taking a moment. Then he continue
”You’re overthinking!” With a sigh, Lily felt it useless to say anything to such a person. She walked past Nathaniel and raised her hand to pat his shoulder, "I think you and Melanie would live a good life together. You two are very compatible. Seriously!" Sc*mbags and b*tches. What a good match! They should just get a room and stop harming others! "You don’t believe me?" Turning the wheelchair around, Nathaniel looked at her back, thinking she did not trust him. He did not comprehend Lilly's subtext and felt she was still resentful and upset about his betrayal. There was no response, and Lily walked away. After sitting down for a while, Nathaniel thought about what Lily had said and felt he still had a chance. Lily was still brooding about his past betrayal, but he believed that she still had feelings for him. He could get back with her in the future as long as he worked hard enough. With her ability and powerful family to support her, things would be at the
After Nathaniel finished speaking, he threw the apple core in his hand into the trash can.Melanie looked at the expression on his face. It was full of indifference, no longer with the distressed eyes like before. He was for real, and he wanted to break up with her. After what he said, she did not need to act anymore. She took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I framed her. What about it?" "If she hadn't dodged, how could I have fallen and lost my child?" She clutched her lower abdomen, "Even if it was my fault, the child is innocent, and the child is yours!" Shaking his head, Nathaniel said, "I don't care who the child belongs to. The child is indeed innocent. I didn't intend to have him in the first place, and neither did you!"Facing her wary eyes, Nathaniel looked up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh of relief, "Mel, you’re seriously getting out of hand!" "I asked someone to transfer all your hospital consultation records. You went to the hospital to prep
Nathaniel could not feel the slightest pity for her now. In retrospect, he should have suspected that she was trying to dispose of the baby and sent someone to investigate, but he didn't. He never knew that she wanted to abort the baby so early on. Nathaniel even thought about their future and living a good life with her, but she was halfhearted, making her worthless. "I’m nice enough not to ask you to leave MN Inc. Of course, the company will participate in the annual competition, but it’ll be in the name of MN Inc., not you as a representative. You can only accept the award as a representative, and that’s the best I can do.” "No, no!" Melanie could not accept it.She made a deal with herself for the competition and to bring herself to a higher level. Her feelings and everything were on the table, and the bet was still on. How could she give up her future? "You can't do this to me! You can't take my credit. This new product is my achievement. It belongs to me!"
“I can tell you’re not feeling too well after your surgery, so I’ll stop arguing with you now.”After turning the wheelchair around, Nathaniel continued, "I have to head back and rest. I'll arrange for someone to take care of you. As for going home, let's discuss it when you’re ready to be discharged."At that point, there was nothing left to say. In addition to Lily, he also needed to consider maximizing the company's interests. It was inappropriate for Melanie to hold onto her position for a long time. Lily quickly hopped into the shower when she got home. She felt like bad luck had assaulted her from every corner today.Melanie was no threat to her, but the whole thing had been frustrating. Lily had not expected Melanie to use her pregnancy to frame someone. Melanie was far more vicious than she had imagined.When Lily got out of the shower, she saw that she had a missed call from someone named “Grumpy Craftsman.” She pursed her lips and thought that something must h
Jenny, standing outside the door, was worried, so she decided to call Olivia. "Has Lily mentioned anything to you about new products?" "No. What's wrong?" After leaving the hospital, Olivia went shopping for groceries before heading home and cleaning the house. The vacuum cleaner was rumbling in the background, and she could not hear Jenny too well. "Lily went into the lab and locked herself inside. I tried to talk to her, but she ignored me. I don't think she's in a good state. I'm a little worried." Upon hearing this, Olivia was stunned and quickly turned off the vacuum cleaner. She subconsciously mumbled, "Is it because of what happened today? She looked okay when she left earlier, though."Jenny was curious. "What happened today?"“Long story. Lily is in the lab, right? I'll go check in on her." Olivia quickly put aside her things, took off her apron, washed her hands, and hurried to the lab. There was no response from inside the lab. Helpless, Jenny could
“Y-You’re serious?”It was not that Jenny doubted her capabilities. However, the effects of the moment were impactful. So impactful that the aftermath would be long-lasting.Lily was like this, even in the early days. It was hard to say how she would be later on. It was apparent Lily was in a bad mood now. Jenny did not want to fight with her, so she said, “All right since you’ve finished, pack up and leave. It’s getting late.”“I’ll send her home,” Olivia volunteered.They both took the bus. Once they got on board, the driver instinctively shouted to the back, “Hey, ladies, are you sure you’ve used enough perfume?”Olivia laughed, embarrassed. As a perfumer, having all kinds of scents on her was typical, and she did not always smell good. The perfume ingredients were complicated, and making perfume was a complicated process.They had grown accustomed to receiving strange glances in public, but the potent, unique smell on them today was rare. Even Olivia, who was used to immersin
