Chapter 51 Some Truth
Chapter 51 Some Truth
It was already in the evening when Lily went back to the old house. When she walked into the living room, she found that the living room was filled with the fragrance. Joe was looking something in the living room. He didn't raise his head until he heard the footsteps.
"Lily, you are back." He waved to Lily and said, "Come here and sit with Grandpa."
"Okay." Lily behaved obediently and sat beside him. When she saw the thick photo album in his hand, she was a little surprised. "Grandpa, are you looking at the photos?"
"Yes." Joe turned over the photo album in his hand and showed it to her, "This photo was taken when the two families were having dinner together. This girl was your mother and she was only five years old at that time. These two were your grandfather and grandmother. This is me, my wife. This is your father when he was a kid."
This was the first time that Lily had seen this picture. It was a little yellow and black, and the edges of the picture were a bit messed up. But she recognized who were them.
"This was taken when your mother was twelve years old." Joe pointed at another picture and said, "This is the first time she came to our house. At that time, your grandparents had just passed away. Your mother suffered a lot. She looked pale." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Grandparents passed away at the age of her mother's twelve? Lily was surprised. She didn't know this before.
"We owe your mother too much." Joe continued, with deep guilt in his tone, "Your grandpa died in an accident because he saved me. Your grandma was in poor health all the year round and could not bear any irritation, so she died. Only your mother was left in the hospital, so I picked her up, and has been taking care of her as my biological daughter..."
Lily listened quietly, listening to the stories that she had never known.
"This is when your mother was eighteen years old. There was an obvious smile on her face. You see, how beautiful she is when she smiled. She looks like your grandma, quiet and gentle."
"These are the photos taken when they got married." Joe turned to the next page of the photo album, and he pointed at a photo in which Tina and Dillon were wearing a traditional wedding dress. He sighed and said, "In fact, I shouldn't have forced them to get married. Look, on the photo, there was no smile on your father's face but your mother smiled. After all, it was me who had hurt your mother..."
Joe closed the photo album with tears in his eyes. "Even if she hates me now, it's right."
"Grandpa, my mom don't blame or hate you." Lily tried to comfort him, "She has a good time outside. I can see that she is very happy when she stayed with me today."
"Your mother is always a kind person who would tell the good but not the bad. I know how she is doing outside. She has made up her mind not to come back, and even refused to go back to the old house. In the future, you have to take more care of her."
"Yes."
At this time, Sunny came out of the kitchen and said, "Mr. Joe, dinner is ready."
"Grandpa, let's go to have dinner. I'm hungry." Seeing this, Lily quickly changed the topic and reached out to support Joe.
"Okay, let's eat."
While supporting Joe, Lily gave him a sidelong glance and sighed in her heart. She finally understood why grandpa was so nice to her mother, and there was such a story between them.
At the same time, she also understood why Joe forced Dillon to marry her mother. He wanted to make up for her as much as possible, because he owed her mother a lot. That was why he did such a thing when he knew that she had fallen in love with Dillon.
The next day, Lily got up early. Since she had promised Eric to cook for him during his hospitalization, she had to keep her words.
In the kitchen, Lily poured out the cooking pot under the great pressure of cooking bones, took out the bones from the pot, put the rice on the pot and pressed the button.
Then she turned around and got busy again. She put the eggs into the bowl and stirred them evenly, skillfully and dexterously, then added a certain amount of milk and finally put them into the steamer.
When everything was done, she began to prepare lunch. She thought that she might not have time to bring lunch to Eric, so she prepared lunch as well.
Soon the porridge was ready. Milk, steamed eggs, celery beef and a vegetable dish were all put into the heat preservation box, including the half bone soup that she just poured out.
After preparing all these things, Lily went out of the kitchen and went back to her room to change her clothes. After she had a quick wash, she came downstairs and met Joe. "Grandpa, you get up."
"Lily, are you going out?" Seeing that she was in a hurry, Joe asked.
"Yes, I'm bringing food to Eric." Then she turned around and went into the kitchen. She came out with two lunch boxes and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I prepared breakfast for you."
"You made it?" Joe was confused.
"Yes." Lily nodded and said in a naughty tone, "Grandpa, don't forget to eat. Don't waste it."
Joe didn't mind bringing food to Eric. After all, he saved Eric. But he was a little surprised to see Lily cooking for him. He nodded and said, "Okay. I'll have it. Oh, right, let Daniel drive you there."
"I know, Grandpa. I'm leaving now." Then, Lily turned around and walked out.
Looking at her leaving, Joe smiled. It's better to have one more people in the home.
After arriving at the hospital, Lily said goodbye to Daniel when she got off the car. Then she walked into the building of the hospital with a lunch box and walked towards Eric's ward expertly.
When she arrived at the door of the ward, she looked inside through the transparent glass window on the door and pushed the door in after she confirmed that there was no one else inside.
Hearing the sound of door opening, Eric opened his eyes. He smiled when he saw it was Lily. "You are quite punctual."
"Because I'm afraid to starve you." Lily said in a natural way. Then she went to the bed, put the lunch box on the cupboard aside, took out a towel, and took out the washbasin to wash his face and indirectly boiled hot water. She began to wipe Eric's face and hands.
In fact, Eric wanted to tell her that his wound had been carefully cleaned by his nurse. However, he didn't do that because he enjoyed her good care.
After the cleaning, Lily arranged everything. She helped Eric sit up, opened one of the lunch boxes, sat on the bed and began to feed him breakfast.
"You did it." It was not a question, but an affirmative answer. As soon as he took the first bite, he knew she was cooking because the taste was always special. He had kept it in mind at the first time when he ate it.
"Yes." Lily nodded. She put the spoon to Eric's mouth and said, "I will see my mom at noon. I can't come here..."
"Then what about my lunch?" Eric interrupted her plaintively, his voice full of grievance.
"I have also prepared lunch for you." Then, she turned to the other lunch box and said, "It's the lunch box. If it's inconvenient for you, you can ask the nurse to feed you."
Looking in the direction of her sight, Eric looked much better and his heart was filled with warmth. He was just saying that, but she had already prepared it carefully.
The ward was suddenly quiet as she fed him spoon by spoon.
Lily suddenly remembered what she had heard at the police station yesterday. She looked at Eric and asked, "I want to ask you a question. Did you ask someone to hit Victor when you at school?"
As soon as she finished her question, the scene that she had found him on the mountain behind the school to thank him last time flashed through her mind. At that time, Eric had quietly watched on the side, while Terence with several people had been punching and kicking a person lying on the ground.
Seeing her show up, he asked Terence to quickly drive the person away. No wonder that at that time, she felt that the person who was beaten was somewhat familiar. Now think about it, that person must be Victor.
Hearing her question, Eric frowned and asked, "Is he the mastermind?"
"Yes." Lily came to her senses and nodded.
"Damn it!" Eric cursed in his mind, and his black eyes showed a little fierce.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked in reply subconsciously.
Eric raised his head to look at her and said guiltily, "I'm sorry."
Lily was confused. She looked at him and asked, "Why do you apologize?"
"It's all my fault this time."
Last time, he threatened York and Sheena, which made her suffer a lot. If he hadn't caught them, her reputation would have been ruined. This time, he hit Victor in secret, which almost made her lose her life.
He had thought that he could protect her, but he didn't expect that he had hurt her twice!
Lily didn't need him to explain, she already knew what was going on. It turned out that Victor misunderstood her. He thought that it was her who asked Eric to hire people to hit him, and that was why he hated her so much and even wanted to kill her!
But there was one thing that she couldn't understand. She looked up at Eric doubtfully and asked, "Why did you ask people to hit him?"
"Do you still remember the public opinion about you and Frank? It has gone viral on the Internet, and even been framed by his mother."
Lily nodded. Of course she remembered it. And he helped her to find evidence to prove her innocence.
"It was also Victor who did it. He took your photos and posted them online, he wanted you to be framed."
"He did that!" Lily was surprised to hear that. She had doubted Claire before. But when she thought that she wouldn't do anything to discredit Frank, she believed it had nothing to do with Claire. But she didn't expect that it was Victor who did it!
No wonder the photos were taken at great shooting angle. The people he hired must be professional.
