*** On the following weekend, Shauna was with the Rosses again. Like the last, Reese went to the mansion for Sean's therapy. Sean was walking better. He could bend his knee with ease, and he could extend it without pain. The only thing he couldn't do was run, but Sean knew he was getting there. S

"This is it, man.

"Fuck. Lucas is back?" Lewis indignantly turned to Lily and asked, "Do you know about this?" "Is Lucas really back, Lily?" Lily's mother also asked in shock. All her brothers, except for Liam, asked the same thing. Lily helplessly looked at Liam, and seeing her brother wasn't going to spill eithe
"The aortic stent graft collapse," Doctor Steven reported to the Wright family. "That caused him to faint. So, earlier, we inserted another stent, and he is under observation." "I feel that there is a but coming," Lily's oldest brother, Liam, predicted. Behind him, all of Lily's brothers were givin
"Mommy, are you okay? You have been staring into spaces lately," Aiden asked. Lily was helping her son with his homework. While Aiden wrote his answers in the book, Lily was in a daze. "Sorry, Buddy. Was thinking of something," Lily said. "Are you done?" "Almost. I'm so glad your mission got canc
Liam had introduced Jake to Lily as one of their new contractors. Often, Jake traveled to other cities to make proposals, hoping to get another project for the company. That was why he was in Lockwood. "Lily, my job here will be extended for another week," Jake revealed. "But I'll see you after th
"You know what, Lucas? You are insane!" Lily yelled, pulling her arm away from him. She did it so forcefully that the necklace around Lucas' neck bounced to reveal that golden tag with her name carved on it. Instantly, Lily stilled. Her heart skipped a beat while her eyes were glued to the pendant
"He is an important person who needs protection. It will be your primary responsibility to oversee his security," the major loudly said to Lily while they were on a military helicopter, flying ten thousand feet above the ground. This was one of those odd assignments. When Lily arrived at the mil
"Somebody has guilt written all over their face," Lily softly commented, seeing her oldest brother, Liam Wright, in the dining area of their home early that morning.

“Lily? My favorite daughter in the world is back!” Lily’s mother, Scarlett, exclaimed. Lily could not help but roll her eyes at her mother’s remark. She responded, “Mom, you can’t have a favorite daughter. I am your only daughter!” Scarlett laughed. Lily’s father, Kaleb, who was sipping tea in th
Of course, what did she expect? He left her without saying anything. So now, he was practically denying their past relationship by pretending not to know her! The truth was, it stung a little. When he disappeared, Lily cried an ocean for him, yet this was how he treated her now? Then again, Lily s
