It has to be said that Skye’s words shook Lily Gray’s closed heart.
Combined with what Sebastian Lucas VII had said earlier, it was hard to ignore.
For the first time, Lily tried to face her own feelings head-on.
Perhaps Skye was right, and she should find an opportunity to have a good talk with Aidan Lucas.
As she thought about it, the doctor arrived.
Skye really did get the rabies vaccine just as she had requested.
Afterward, the doctor gave her some medicine to apply to her wound.
Lily wanted to ask Skye about the specifics of what happened at the Wellington family’s place several times.
She didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but Skye seemed to be avoiding the subject.
In the end, until Skye said she was tired and had to go home to rest, Lily couldn’t get any answers.

That night, when Aidan Lucas returned home, he was surprised to see Lily Gray waiting for him in the living room.
“You’re still up?”
Seeing her frail figure, the man who had originally decided to ignore her couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
He… damn it.
He couldn’t help worrying about her again.
“Yes, I was waiting for you.” Lily looked at him and, very unusually for her, spoke to him in a gentle tone.
“Aidan, thank you for what you did today.”
The man frowned and sat down on the sofa opposite her. “There’s no need to thank me.”
It felt as if it was just a simple gesture for him.
Lily pressed her lips together. “Sebastian told me everything. I didn’t know you were in a meeting at the time and caused you so much trouble. Thank you, really…”
Aidan’s eyebrows furrowed even more.
Sebastian, he couldn’t keep his mouth shut either.
Such a busybody!
“Sebastian exaggerated things. You don’t have to worry about it. It wasn’t a big deal. Get some rest.”
After saying that, Aidan stood up.
He couldn’t stay any longer.
Lily tonight was soft, beautiful, and tender.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes, filled with a gentle glow, stared at him intently.
Such a… charming and tempting woman, even without speaking, seemed to be inviting him.
But, it wasn’t right.
If possible, he should stay far away from her. Getting closer would only hurt her.
Moreover, what the woman needed was status and position.
All of that, he would provide for her.
“Wait…” Lily tried to calm down and wanted to have a peaceful conversation with him.
But this man didn’t give her a chance to speak.
Noticing Aidan’s clear avoidance, Lily’s heart couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.
Did he really just think of her as a commodity?
As she thought about it, she heard the man stand up and indifferently say something.
“Next weekend, the Lucas family will host a banquet at the hotel. At that time, I’ll introduce you to everyone as Mrs. Lucas. In the meantime, get some rest, go shopping with friends for some dresses and jewelry if you like. Bring a bodyguard, and everything else is up to you.”
After those words, Aidan practically fled the scene.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself and do something to Lily.
No, he couldn’t do that. It would only make Lily hate him more.
So, that night,
Lily fell asleep with a heavy heart.
Someone who had been waiting for the woman to fall asleep, took his prepared spare key and once again visited his beloved wife’s bedroom.
