Chapter 317: Stepping into the Leer Family Again
“Since we’re on the topic, Emma and I haven’t had lunch yet. Could you send someone to get us some food?”
Lily glanced at Victor and gave the order with an air of importance.
Victor understood his mother’s expression. He knew she had something to say in private but didn’t point it out. He simply nodded and left the room.
As the door closed, Lily held Emma’s hand meaningfully.
Emma was puzzled. “Madam, what is this about?”
She couldn’t quite grasp Lily’s intention. Why did she need to send Victor away to talk?
Could it be… she had realized that all this was just a ploy on her part?
Thinking of this, Emma felt a pang of anxiety, and her smile became somewhat forced.
“Now that Victor is gone, I can speak plainly,” Lily said, her tone much more relaxed than before.
Emma nodded obediently. “Please go ahead.”
Lily continued, “You should understand my intention. Taking care of a patient doesn’t necessarily have to be Victor’s job. We could even hire a nurse who would do a better job. The reason I asked him to take care of you is to give you both a chance to clear up any misunderstandings. After all, you two have been together for many years, and he isn’t heartless.”
Hearing this, Emma was momentarily stunned but then let out a sigh of relief, her smile growing wider. “I understand. Thank you for your kindness. I will make the most of this opportunity.”
Lily nodded. “However, Victor has been pampered all his life and isn’t very good at taking care of others. You might have to endure some hardship during this time.”
Emma shook her head and smiled sweetly at Lily. “It’s no trouble at all. I’m easy to take care of. As long as I can be with Victor, I’m happy.”
She didn’t need Victor to take care of her, she just needed him to stay away from that woman!
Lily, unaware of Emma’s true thoughts, was moved by what she perceived as deep affection for Victor. “I can’t imagine anyone more suited to be the future Mrs. Leer than you.”
Emma shyly lowered her eyes. “Madam, you’re too kind. I just hope Victor doesn’t hold any grudges against me because of those misunderstandings. As for anything else, I dare not think too much.”
Lily sighed with emotion.
Such a good girl, yet Victor couldn’t see it and was fixated on Olivia!
Fortunately, she was here and would never let Olivia set foot in the Leer family again!
Emma kept her head down, her mind swirling with thoughts.
It seemed Lily was fully committed to having her as a daughter-in-law, and Victor was now stuck by her side with no time to see that woman.
If Joshua and his people could find out the real father of those two illegitimate children during this time, Olivia would have no hope left!Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as they were about to continue their conversation, they heard footsteps approaching the hospital room door.
Lily cleared her throat and adjusted her expression, showing concern for Emma’s injuries as if nothing had happened.
Emma cooperated seamlessly.
Victor entered the room and glanced around, sensing their deliberate behavior.
Clearly, they had discussed something else while he was gone.
Since they didn’t want him to know, Victor didn’t ask. He simply walked over to the bed and placed the food container on the bedside table.
