Chapter 97 A Reminder
Chapter 97 A Reminder
On the day when Lily was discharged from the hospital, Eric did not show up. However, when Tina went to complete the discharge formalities for her, Becky and her mother came, followed by a person.
"I'm sorry, Lily. You've been in hospital for such a long time. I didn't even have time to visit you." In the ward, Becky held Lily's hand full of guilt.
"You don't need to apologize. You and aunt went abroad for business." Lily said with a smile. She got to know that Becky had gone abroad on the morning of the accident.
And judging from the appearance of them to come to the hospital today, it was obvious that they came here as soon as they got off the plane.
"I shouldn't have gone abroad. As soon as I went abroad you have had an accident," Becky pouted. She looked at Lily's left hand in plaster, feeling heartbroken.
"Do you think I'll be fine if you don't go abroad?" Lily smiled at her and held her shoulder with her right hand. "Something is meant to happen. It will happen."
After saying that, she released her hands and patted her on the shoulder. "Moreover, as you see, I am fine now. Therefore, you should be happy for me."
"You are so optimistic." Alice said, "But it is good. You don't pessimistic about everything and has hopes for everything."
"That's how life is like. Of course I can't be pessimistic." Lily said with a smile. Then she turned to look at Alice and said, "Aunt Alice, take a rest here. You must be very tired after the flight. Let me get you a glass of water."
"Well, you don't have to do that. Your hand is injured." Alice said, "I'm not thirsty, either. And I have a gift for you."
After saying that, she turned her head to look at her assistant and said, "Ken, give me the suitcase."
On hearing that, Ken pushed the suitcase in front of Alice, without saying a word. Then he stood still.
When Alice took over the suitcase from Ken, Lily took a look at him subconsciously. But as soon as Lily took a look at him, she frowned in an instant. She had some impression of him.
Alice's right-hand assistant was in her thirties with fair skin. He liked to design female dress, so his dress was relatively feminine. Lily took back her sight after a quick glance. She didn't like this man.
Lily remembered that he had something to do with the bankruptcy of Alice's company.
"You will look beautiful in this dress." Alice took out a champagne colored evening dress from her suitcase. It was a strapless gown with a bowknot around the waist. There was a white water diamond inlaid in the middle of the bowknot.
"Thank you, aunt Alice. You cost money on me again." Lily said with a smile. She liked this dress.
"What are you talking about?" Alice said, "When Becky and I saw this dress, the first thought in our minds was that you would look beautiful on this dress, so we bought it."
"Aunt Alice, you brought me gifts every time you went abroad. I'm so embarrassed."
"It's hard for Becky to have a best friend like you. I have to flatter you. Otherwise, she will be angry with me." Alice seemed to be joking.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. I'm not angry with you at all." Complained Becky.
"Okay, okay, you didn't." Then Alice folded the evening dress in her hand and put it into handbag for Lily.
At this time, Ken's mobile phone rang. He took it out and looked at Alice. "Mrs. Alice. I have to answer the phone."
"Yes." Alice nodded.
Then he walked out of the ward with his mobile phone.
"Aunt Alice..." Seeing that Ken had disappeared from the door, Lily called Alice. She was a little hesitant to tell her everything she knew. If she didn't believe it, would she think that she was trying to sow dissension among them?
"What's wrong, Lily?" Seeing her awkward situation, Becky asked in confusion.
"Why are you hesitating?" Alice said with a smile.
"Aunt Alice, you cannot be angry." Lily bit her lower lip and walked towards Alice, then she said in a low voice, "I don't think you can trust Ken. You'd better not let him do the important things from now on. If possible, don't keep him around."
"Why not?" Alice didn't understand. "I taught him myself. I know him very well."
Sure enough, Alice would not believe her. It was true that she had no proof. No one would believe her.
Lily frowned. "Aunt, I know you trust him very much, but you have to listen to me. If you don't believe me, you should pay more attention to him. Trust me, aunt Alice. It's for your own good."
As soon as she finished her words, Ken, who had just received a call, came in and said to Alice, "Mrs. Alice, the planning department called and said that there was something wrong with the models. They need us to go back and deal with it."
"Okay, go get your car ready." Alice said quickly.
"Okay, Mrs. Alice." With that, he turned and walked out of the room again.
"Becky, I have to go to the company to deal with something. Please take your luggage and go home." After saying that, Alice turned around and was about to leave. At this time, Lily grabbed her arm and looked at her sincerely.
"Aunt, keep in mind what I've told you. You know people's faces, and you don't know their hearts. No matter how much you believe in him, you must keep a sliver of doubt. Not everyone is worthy of trust."
Alice patted on Lily's hand and said with a smile, "I know. I will keep your words in mind. Now, I must go back to the company. I have to go now."
"Okay. Be careful on your way." Lily let go of her and watched her leave. She knew that Alice didn't listen to her.
"Becky." Turning to Becky, she continued, "If possible, pay more attention to him. He is really not a trustworthy person, especially when it comes to the financial aspect of the company. Don't let him get in touch with."
Hearing that, Becky blinked her eyes and said, "But I don't care about your mother's company."
Lily sighed. How could she forget that although Becky was interested in design, she was not interested in her mother's company at all.
At this time, Tina, who had handled the discharge formalities for Lily, came back. She was stunned when she saw Becky. She had never seen her before, so she naturally didn't know who she was.
"Mom, this is my classmate, Becky. She is also my best friend," Lily said with a smile.
"Aunt Tina," Said Becky sweetly.
"Yes." Tina nodded with a smile, "Thank you for coming to see Lily."
"Aunt Tina, please don't say that. I'm late. She's discharged from the hospital today." She sounded sort of remorseful.
"Becky, don't say that again." Lily gave her a reproachful look as if she was blaming her, and then held her shoulder with his right hand. She looked at Tina and said, "Mom, Becky came to see me as soon as she got off the plane, and when I fell off the cliff last time, it was her who found the reinforcements for me."
"You should thank her." Tina looked at Becky with a smile, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes. She don't know why. There was a kind of resistance in her heart.
Normally, she wouldn't have this thought if she had never seen a little girl, and this little girl who looked innocent.
"Of course I should thank her." "Every time Becky's mother went abroad, she would bring me a gift. This time she brought me a dress. It's so beautiful."
Wiping the potential resistance in her heart, she shook her head dotingly. At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Kerr came in.
"Is Becky here?" He saw Becky at first sight.
"Mr. Kerr." Becky was still a little reserved in front of Kerr.
Kerr smiled, "There is no Mr. Kerr here. You can just regard me as an ordinary elder. You can call me uncle Kerr."
"Okay, uncle Kerr." Becky nodded and changed her address to Kerr, but she still sounded reserved.
Kerr nodded and looked around the ward, "Are you all ready?"
"Yes. I have also gone through the discharge formalities." Tina answered.
"Then let's go." After saying that, Kerr picked up the packed luggage and was about to leave.
"Thank you, uncle Kerr." Lily suddenly stopped him, "Could you send Becky home first and then we go back later?"
"Okay." Kerr nodded without hesitation.
"Don't bother." Becky felt a little embarrassed.
"Becky, why are you so formal with me?" Lily glanced at her, "Uncle Kerr isn't an outsider, right? He can drive you home, right? Uncle Kerr."
She smiled at Kerr when she said the last sentence. The meaning in her eyes was quite obvious.
Kerr knew what she what to say, "Yes, not an outsider."
Tina knew what they meant. In the past, she would argue back. But now, she could blushed. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Even Becky, an outsider, could tell that something was strange between them.
Kerr's manor was not in the same direction with Becky's home. So Kerr drove to send her back first.
In fact, Lily was supposed to go back to the old house of the Qiao family when she was discharged from the hospital. However, Tina was still worried about her. She called Tina and said that Lily would go back after her hand recovered. Joe felt relieved that Lily was taken care of by her own mother, so he agreed.
"Where is brother Andrew?" After they entered the house, Lily suddenly asked, "I haven't seen him for several days."
"He is busy with the project these days. He is working overtime." He smiled and answered, "He didn't go to the hospital to see you. Do you have a grudge against him?"
"How could it be possible?" Lily smiled, "I haven't seen him for a few days. I miss him very much."
"I told him that he should come home for dinner. Today is the day you leave the hospital."
"It's time for Andrew to have a good rest. He have worked overtime for several days. He is too tired to bear it." Said Tina, full of concern in her tone.
It seemed to be the first time that she had cared so much about Andrew.
