Lily Grant felt uneasy in her heart.
Yet amidst this emotion, there were other feelings mixed in... She couldn’t understand them, nor did she wish to.
She smiled and patted Lucas’s hand, comforting him, "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry..."
Lucas’s complexion was already bad, and when Lily tried to comfort him, he noticed the wound on the back of her hand, and his face turned grim!
Lucas turned around immediately and shouted towards Chloe Grant, "Chloe, come over and apologize!"
His tone was completely that of an elder.
There was authority mixed with some anger.
Chloe instinctively turned her head, though her face was towards the direction of Lucas and Lily, her gaze was unfocused.
Lily lowered her head, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
Asking Chloe to apologize?
Though she appeared soft and gentle, her temper was stubborn and fierce. If she felt wronged, she would stubbornly stand her ground!
Lily sighed inwardly, guessing another big conflict was brewing, yet—
"I didn’t mean it, I’m sorry."
Chloe said this extremely calmly.
Lily’s expression froze on the spot, and her previous action of tucking hair behind her ear paused directly—
Chloe actually apologized!
It was simply incredible.
Lily looked up, clearly shocked, but to conceal it in front of Lucas, she had to force herself to appear gentle and harmless... Thus, her overall expression appeared somewhat strange.
Compared to Lily, Lucas was not bothered, he simply said "Hmm" and was about to speak, but then saw tears quickly accumulate in Chloe’s eyes, and they fell just like that.
"I didn’t mean it just now. She kept telling me I’ll be blind in the future, and I got scared. I know it’s wrong to play games, but after what happened, Uncle didn’t care about me and even scolded me. I was upset, so I tried to vent..."
As soon as Lucas heard Chloe say this, he immediately recalled the hotel incident... and compared it to his fierce attitude...
"Alright, alright, it was Uncle’s fault, don’t cry, don’t cry~" Lucas immediately admitted his mistake, walked to Chloe, and wiped her tears with a tissue, comforting her.
Lily watched from behind, seeing Lucas patiently comfort Chloe, her face turned gloomy, and she stared at Chloe with eyes as if poisoned.
Such a venomous gaze, Chloe naturally sensed it.
She looked down and smiled...
Lily Grant, you think you’re the only one who knows this trick?
Isn’t it just acting, pretending to be weak to gain sympathy, who can’t do that?
Though Chloe has a bad temper, she’s not stupid.
When Lily was pretending with those words earlier, Chloe was so angry she wanted to smash this damn woman with a cup!
At the moment she gripped the cup tightly, the coolness made Chloe’s hand tremble slightly and restored some of her rationality.
If she had thrown that cup, the relationship with Lucas would certainly have worsened, exacerbating the conflict.
Lily would have fully achieved her goal.
Didn’t she just say she’s with Uncle just to make Chloe unhappy?
Chloe would absolutely not let her be satisfied!
A serious voice broke the scene in the ward from the door.
Lucas, who was helping Chloe wipe her tears, suddenly paused.
