Chapter 49 Thoughtful Care
Chapter 49 Thoughtful Care
Knowing that he was just joking, Lily didn't need to be modest. "Of course. After all, I'm my mother's daughter."
"Sizz..." Eric couldn't help but laugh out. In fact, she looked pretty good in this dress, with a red and ruddy complexion and a tall figure.
"You naughty girl..." Tina shook her head with a doting smile.
Hearing that, Kerr laughed, but he didn't laugh out.
Seeing that they were all laughing, Lily released Tina's hand. She took a washbasin and a towel to have some warm water.
"Auntie, manager." Eric greeted them.
"You can just call me uncle Kerr as Lily does. It sounds awkward to hear you call me manager." Said Kerr with a smile.
"Okay." Eric replied. He didn't expect that the man who was serious in the school contest would be so gentle.
Looking at his leg in plaster and the scratches on his face, Tina felt deeply sorry for him. "To save Lily, you were injured like this. I don't know how to thank you."
"Aunt, you don't have to thank me. It's okay as long as she's fine." Eric replied sincerely. He was glad that Lily had a good mother.
It was not because that she said "thank you", but because of her temperament and her attitude. She was totally different from Lucia. It was hard to tell what kind of eyes did Dillon have. How could he fall in love with such a woman like Lucia.
As they were talking, Lily walked out of the bathroom with a basin of hot water in her hand. She put down the washbasin on a nearby chair and wrung out a dry towel to wash the face for Eric. Her movement was very light and meticulous.
With yesterday's experience, Eric seemed to be accustomed to it, but Tina was surprised. She had never known that her daughter would take care of other people like this!
She wiped his face and then continued to wipe his hands.
"Your hands need to be rubbed again." Lily wiped one of his hands.
"Why?" Eric asked her back subconsciously. She didn't want to wipe it twice last night.
She looked up at him and said, "Because you went to the bathroom just now."
With these words, she turned around, put the towel into the washbasin and began to clean his hands again.
Eric was rendered speechless by her answer. He was just supported to the bathroom, but he didn't wash his hands.
After cleaning, Lily sat on the edge of the bed, opened the heat preservation box and prepared the breakfast. She gave two-thirds of the porridge to Eric, and then began to feed him.
When he took the first bite of porridge, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He asked, "Is this porridge cooked by your mother?"
"Yes." Lily nodded and fed him another spoon of porridge.
After eating, he said, "You should inherit your mother's cooking skills."
Hearing that, Lily was stunned for a second. A touch of uneasiness appeared on her face. She nodded casually and said, "Yes."
She didn't inherit her mother's cooking. In her previous life, she learned cooking because she was forced by Jade and Frank, but later she tried to learn cooking because she missed the dishes cooked by her mother.
"But you are not as good as your mother. You need more progress in cooking." While eating, Eric pointed.
"Hurry up and eat it." Lily rolled his eyes at him and said, "Now that you don't like my cooking, you can eat the food cooked in the hospital."
"Oh, no, please don't. I was just kidding. You cook well. It's very delicious." Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he added in a loud voice, "It's really delicious!"
The two of them had breakfast, talking and laughing. After finishing the breakfast, they put some food on the table. Lily let Eric eat first and then she ate the food herself.
Every detail of her action was a different thought in the eyes of others. Eric enjoyed it. Kerr admired her, he didn't expect the daughter, who was taught by Tina, was so sensible.
Only Tina's eyes turned red. How many things had she suffered in the Qiao family? She used to take care of her by herself and never taught her how to take care of others. But now, she not only learned to take care of people, but also took care of people so attentively.
It was only half past eight in the morning when they finished breakfast. As they had to go to the police station, Lily said goodbye to Eric after putting away the lunch box. Before she left, she also deliberately reminded him.
When she went back to her ward, she met Joe, who came to pick her up, followed by Daniel.
"Grandpa." At the sight of Joe, Lily handed the lunch box to Tina and hurried to support him.
He looked at her up and down. Joe nodded and said, "You look much better today."
"Well, thank to my mother for the breakfast with love." Lily answered innocently.
Joe turned around and took a glance at Tina. He turned to Daniel and ordered, "You go to complete the discharging formalities for her."
"Yes, my Lord." Then Daniel turned around and left.
Joe walked closer to Tina. He looked at her with a complicated look. He felt really guilty and his eyes were red.
There were thousands of words to say, but in the end, they all turned into one, "Tina, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
"Dad, please don't say that." Tears welled up in Tina's eyes as she said, "It's none of your business. I know exactly what you did to me these years."
With a deep sigh, Joe walked towards the ward where Lily was living and said, "Let's talk inside."
"Okay." Tina nodded.
After entering the ward, they sat down separately. Joe asked Tina, "How are you outside these days?"
"I'm quite used to it." She answered, but did not tell the truth.
"Yes." All of a sudden, Joe didn't know what to say. Tina, however, comforted him, "Dad, don't worry about me. I can have a good life outside. But you are much thinner than before. Don't work too hard.
The most important thing is to take care of yourself."
"Ugh." Joe sighed and said, "This is all Dillon's fault. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to this."
"It's not his fault. He's not the one to blame. The God is the one to blame." Tina smiled bitterly. Who could tell clearly about her relationship with the Dillon?
She wanted to marry him one-sided, but he loved another woman all the time. If it wasn't for the pressure from his family, how could he marry her?
"Fate, it's really fate." Joe also smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to go home, you're always welcome here."
"No, father. I'm really fine living outside." Tina politely refused. She really didn't want to go back to the Qiao family. She would be sad if she went back.
Joe and Tina who were talking with each other the whole time. Lily and Kerr just listened to them quietly.
Soon, Daniel finished the discharge formalities and came back.
Seeing him back, Joe stood up, turned to Lily and asked, "Lily, are you going back with Grandpa now or stay with mom for a little longer?"
He was asking for her opinion. After all, they had been separated for a long time, it was normal for them to have a gathering. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Grandpa, I have to go to the police station with mom. Uncle Kerr said that the bad guy was caught and I want to have a look." Lily answered.
"Okay, let's go. Grandpa will wait for you at home." Joe agreed with a smile. Then he turned to Daniel and said, "Daniel, pack up her things. We're going home first."
"Yes, my Lord." Answered Daniel before he started to pack.
Lily didn't have much stuff. She only had some toiletries, a backpack, and some clothes that had been cut when she fell off the cliff.
Very soon, all the stuff was put into the backpack by Daniel. He said to Joe, "Mr. Joe, It's ready."
"Okay, let's go back." Then he turned around and walked to the door. And Daniel immediately caught up with him.
When they were about to leave the room, Lily suddenly thought of something and stopped bush. "Wait for a moment."
"What's wrong, Miss Lily?" Daniel looked at her in confusion.
"I'll take out my phone." She took her bag, and pulled out her mobile phone from it. She zipped it up and handed it to Daniel. "It's ok."
Holding her phone, Lily smiled and thought, 'there are important evidences in this phone. Now that Victor is caught, I have to make a new charge for him.'
After parting with Joe, Lily and Tina took the car of Kerr and he drove directly to the police station.
After they sat in the backseat, Lily held her mother's arm and said with concern, "Mother, Lucia can easily find you this time."
"Don't worry. I'm well protected by Colin." Tina said lightly.
"Uncle Colin is your only support. How could he be defeated by Lucia's people?"
"He will find a way,"
At this moment, Kerr suddenly interrupted, "Tina, have you thought about the thing I told you last time?"
Tina said uneasily, "Give me some time to think about it again."
"What is it?" Lily asked curiously.
Kerr looked at the two people from the rear-view mirror, and said, "I have a manor which has been unoccupied and is in a relatively secret place. Generally, very few people find that place. I want your mother to live there."
Lily was glad to hear that, and said, "Mom, I think uncle Kerr is right. Why don't you say yes? And it is not a good idea to hide with Uncle Colin."
"I..." Tina really didn't know how to explain it to her daughter. If this manor had no other meaning, she nodded and agreed when Kerr requested.
Lily had no idea what was Tina's concern. She just felt happy to hear that her mother had a better life. Moreover, it could be seen that Kerr really wanted to help.
