Chloe Grant looked blankly as Lucas walked over. He removed the cigarette from his mouth, placed his right hand on Isabella Gray’s shoulder, and grinned cheekily, "I’ve had a revelation. I’ve felt guilty all these years, so now I often come back to make amends."
"You and your slick tongue." Isabella lightly slapped Lucas’s hand, but she was smiling.
Though this youngest son gave her the most worries and headaches, he was indeed the one she loved the most.
She pushed Lucas’s hand away and pulled Chloe towards the house.
"Grandma, you said... Lily Grant is staying here?"
As they reached the living room, Chloe couldn’t help but ask the question nagging at her heart.
Coincidentally, just as she finished asking, a figure slowly descended the stairs.
Wearing simple home clothes, her right hand in a cast, yet her face bore a radiant smile.
Who else could it be but Lily Grant?
Chloe was certain she was the one who injured Lily’s right hand.
Why is she here at the Morgan family home?
And, from what Lady Morgan said earlier, it seems Lily has been staying here for a few days?
"Why are you coming down? Shouldn’t you be resting?"
As soon as Lucas saw Lily, he hurried over.
Before Lily even came down the stairs, he was already on the steps, checking the injury on Lily’s right hand, "Does it still hurt?"
"It’s fine, I just wanted to get some fresh air," Lily replied.
"Then wait for me to come back. What if you get hurt again coming down alone?" Lucas supported Lily as she descended the stairs.
Their affectionate manner was like that of newlyweds.
At the same time, it pierced Chloe’s heart painfully, and she quickly turned her gaze away, landing on Isabella.
Isabella was watching Lucas and Lily with a comforting smile.
As if she were looking at her son and daughter-in-law.
Chloe couldn’t understand.
Previously, Isabella had been strongly against Lily being with Lucas, and she had even spent an afternoon venting to Chloe about Lily.
How did this change so suddenly...
"A few days ago, I was in a car accident. If it weren’t for this girl suddenly rushing out to save me, I might still be in the hospital now."
Isabella seemed to notice Chloe’s confusion and briefly explained to her.
She added, "Since she got injured saving me, I have to take responsibility for caring for her until she recovers, no matter what."
Chloe didn’t respond; she didn’t know how to respond.
From Isabella’s tone, it seemed like she had accepted Lily, and it probably wouldn’t be long before things progressed between her and Lucas.
Lily Grant isn’t sincere with Lucas!
Chloe was really afraid Lily would end up hurting Lucas.
At this moment, Lucas had already helped Lily over. Lily smiled gently when she saw Chloe, "Cousin, you’re here too."
Her familiar demeanor made it seem like the scene of Chloe hitting her three days ago never happened.
"She wants to stroll in the garden, so I’m taking her," Lucas said softly.
Isabella nodded and instructed, "Go for a walk and come back soon; there’s a stew boiling in the kitchen, and it’ll be ready soon."
"Okay, Aunt," Lily replied obediently.
Chloe remained silent the whole time.
After Lucas took Lily away, Isabella sighed, "Previously, I always thought that Lily wasn’t a match for Lucas, that she was too scheming and not the kind of person the Morgan family needed. But then..."
