Avenger's coming back

Chapter 71 Don't You Miss Me

After chatting with Tina for a while, Lily went downstairs. She didn't see somebody in the living room, and she heard someone was cutting the vegetables in the kitchen.

She smiled and walked to the door of the kitchen. Sure enough, she saw Kerr cutting the vegetables.

"Uncle Kerr, you do a good job!" Lily joked as she walked up to Kerr.

"Of course. I cut for decades." He was not modest at all.

Lily smiled. She was used to this, so she changed the subject. "Where is Andrew? I didn't see him."

"He is in his own room." Kerr answered without raising his head.

"Okay." Lily nodded and continued, "I heard a lot from brother Andrew today. Uncle Kerr, I don't have any stand-by about what you have done, but I do appreciate you, thank you for your love for my mother, all the things you have done for her, and thank you for taking care of me. I know that even if I don't agree, you won't give up your pursuit, but you care about my opinion very much now. You respect me, and love me. So I have no reason to hinder you from finding your own happiness."

Hearing this, Kerr stopped, looked up at her and said, "Lily, I know you are a sensible child. Although you have no objection to me being with your mother, that's only because you want her to find her own happiness. But what I want is more than that. I want to protect you and your mother, and to become your father."

He said sincerely, but when Lily heard the last sentence, her eyes inexplicably turned red.

"If I can't make you accept me sincerely, if you can't call me dad, I won't be with your mother, and can only stay in the present state forever. I want a warm family, with Andrew, you and Tina."

Tears filled her eyes quickly. Lily lowered her head and wiped her eyes. She was moved by his words. It was the feeling of being valued and respected.

"Lily, don't cry." Kerr panicked and said, "I I just... "

"Uncle Kerr." She looked up at him with red eyes, but with a smile on her face, "I accept you, really, from the bottom of my heart. But you want me to change the way I call you, I'm a little embarrassed. Give me some time to adapt, okay?"

Hearing her words, Kerr smiled and became excited, "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll wait here!"

"Thank you, uncle Kerr."

It included so many things. Thank him for so many things he had done for Tina, thank him for everything he had done for her, and thank him for letting her feel the true maternal love.

Putting down the things in his hands, Kerr reached out his hands and hugged her. "All right, all right. When Tina gets out of the shadow and really wants to be with me, we can be a family."

"Yes." Lily nodded firmly.

"Then you should tell me now why Lucia is not willing to give up Tina, right?" Release her and Kerr said with a smile.

Lily smiled and said, "In fact, I haven't figured out why she is so reluctant to find my mom. She left Qiao family without taking anything when she divorced with Dillon. And you have also guessed the identity of Lucia. Although Dillon married my mother, she has been with Lucia in secret..."

She told Kerr everything she knew about Lucia, except that why Lucia kept chasing after her mother. Lily still couldn't figure it out.

After hearing what she said, Kerr frowned, but he was more angry. The woman he treated as treasure was nothing to Dillon!

"I'll look into it and find out the reason,"

Hearing that, Lily was naturally very happy. With someone helping, it meant that she was just going to take revenge.

"But Uncle Kerr, I hope you can be careful. Don't let Lucia find out about it. Otherwise, it will alert the enemy."

"Do you think I am stupid?" He asked with a smile.

His question made Lily feel a little embarrassed. "I was just reminding you."

They had a nice dinner. Kerr specially made several dishes for Lily, and in order to take care of Tina, he specially made some light food for her.

But at dinner time, there were only two people at the table, Lily and Andrew. Kerr went upstairs to take care of Tina personally with the food prepared for her.

Lily was quite satisfied with this arrangement. In fact, she knew her mother had almost recovered from her cold, but she was still so moved that Kerr treated her with great care.

The next day, Kerr send Lily to school. He had something to deal with at school, so she decided to take a free ride.

As soon as she arrived at the school, she entered the classroom, only to find that her seat was occupied. That person was not anyone else, but it was Eric, who was supposed to rest at home!

He was still in plaster and sat there casually, which attracted many people's attention. It was still early for the class. Many people hadn't come, including Becky and Eden.

"Why don't you stay at home and recuperate at school?" She walked to Eric and asked.

"I am bored at home." Eric answered naturally. "I can have a talk with you after I come to the school."

"You can call me if you want to talk to me. What can I do if you fall down? Do you want to be hurt again?"

"I'm not used to it." Eric answered, his eyes fixing on her face.

Hmm, he felt more comfortable when he saw her. It was weird for him to not see Lily during these days when he was at home. He always felt he lost something. Now that he saw Lily, the feeling disappeared inexplicably.

Lily couldn't stand the gazes from other people, so she reached out her hand to touch him and said, "Just go back to your classroom. Don't you think it's strange to be here?"

"It's still early. I want to have a chat with you." Eric had no intention of standing up.

Lily was speechless. She didn't know what to say. Because of his injured leg, she took a step back and said, "Let's find a place to talk. There are too many people in this classroom."

"Okay." He readily agreed.

Finally, Eric walked out of the classroom with one hand holding a walking stick and the other hand supported by Lily. They went to the quiet Pavilion in the school and sat down. There was few people there.

"You have never taken the initiative to call me for so many days." As soon as he sat down, Eric began to complain.

Lily was stunned for a second, but then she reacted quickly, "I didn't have things. Why should I call you?"

"You just call me if something's wrong?" Eric asked back, obviously dissatisfied with her attitude. "Don't you miss me as well?"

He said it so naturally that Lily suddenly blushed. The picture of him kissing her last time flashed through her mind. Although the kiss was not deep, it made her heart beat fast and unforgettable.

"Ahem!" She coughed awkwardly, "I have been very busy these days. My mother caught a cold, so I went to see her yesterday. And the person who wanted to kill me was caught. I went to the police station with brother Andrew and met that person yesterday."

She almost told Eric all her itinerary.

Eric was quite satisfied with this. It was a good thing for her to report her whereabouts to him, but when he heard she called brother Andrew, he was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. Anyway, the person who harmed her…

"Who is that person?" He asked with a frown.

"Brother of York." Lily answered honestly.

"A member of Yu family?"

"Yes, he said that he hurt me because he wanted to revenge for his sister. But I don't believe it, neither do Andrew. I always feel that things are not that simple."

"What do you mean?"

"He has always stressed that he did this because of his sister. No matter what he asked, it always sounds like the way he tries to hide it, and his family..."

Lily said everything she knew, including what she had said in the police station.

After that, she added, "Brother Andrew said that he had already figured out how to investigate the murder. I really hope he can help me find out the criminal as soon as possible."

Lily knew that the longer, the more dangerous she would be. She could be in danger again at any time and anywhere since the real manipulator was not caught.

Hearing that, Eric's eyebrows twisted deeply. He asked, "How should he investigate that?"

"I don't know. He didn't tell me." She shook her head and told him the truth.

After thinking for a while, Eric licked his lips and there was a touch of ambiguity flashing in his black eyes. As long as he thought that she had been with Andrew, he felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that he frowned and didn't say anything, Lily didn't know what he was thinking. His sudden silence made her feel uncomfortable. She looked at his leg in plaster and asked, "Does your leg still hurt? Did you see the doctor these days?"

Seeing that she cared about him, Eric looked a little better, "No, Jarvis saw it. He told me that I can remove the cast, but for safety, I can do it a week later."

Lily knew that Jarvis was the family doctor of the Gu family. She had seen him last time, but she was confused. "He know orthopedics?"

Eric glanced sideways at her, "Do you think everyone can be Gu family's doctor? He know everything."

All right, she was stupid.

"The class is about to begin. Let me help you return to the classroom." Lily changed the topic. As soon as she finished her words, she reached out and was about to help Eric up.

"No, thanks. I can go back by myself." Eric refused. An expression flashed across his eyes.

Lily was stunned. "Are you sure?"

"Okay. Be careful." Seeing that, Lily didn't insist. She looked at him with concern and then turned around to leave.

After she left, Eric took out his phone and dialed a number.
