Jostling Hazel aside, she wheeled Lily into the ward.
Hayden was about to trail after them when Terence stopped him.
"I know you're worried about her," he whispered. "But she needs rest right now." As long as Hayden was around, Hazel and Bobby would linger here too. That was precisely why Lily refused to let Hayden stay.

One day is all I need to deal with my family affairs. Once I'm done, I'll cover." Terence nodded, and Hayden left with Hazel. Then, he entered the ward and stood at the end of Lily's bed. "That bastard, Bruce! He's not even showing an ounce of respect for our family!" Maryanne had been trying to reach Lily since last night, but to no avail. She'd thought Lily was busy with work, so she'd rushed over to Lily's place with breakfast this morning, only to realize that no one answered her door even after her frantic knocks.
Lily's neighbor had told her that something had happened last night, so she'd immediately contacted Terence. After investigating, they'd finally discovered something terrible had happened.
Seeing how badly Lily was injured, Maryanne swerved toward Terence and barked, "Terence, you have to tear the Thompson family to shreds!" "Xavier is investigating this now," Lily quickly intervened. "He'll deal with the Thompsons." In fact, he was probably dealing with them now. She hadn't asked him about how he was going to deal with them, though.
"As if we need him!" Maryanne burst into a fit of rage. "If it hadn't been for his tantrums, things wouldn't have ended up this way!" "How's your hand?" Terence asked, shifting the topic. He didn't want to talk about Xavier anymore.
Hearing this, Maryanna also focused on Lily's hand and asked, "Does that mean you can't compete now?" Lily pursed her lips and nodded.
"Are there going to be any side effects?" Terence was well aware of how important a designer's hand was to them.
Though technology was advanced now and Lily could work without a pen, she still wouldn't be able to make a living from this job if her mouse control accuracy and speed were affected. en Maryanne hadn't thought about this before and cast a surprised look at Lily.
Before marrying Xavier, Lily had voluntarily abandoned this career. But now that she had set her mind to work, she couldn't.
This was completely different.
Disappointment and grief suddenly overwhelmed her, leaving her in a daze.

"The doctors here have limited skills. We can find the best doctors abroad to ensure your hands are cured as much as possible. We still have hope," he said, taking out his phone.
en "Xavier has already contacted a doctor," Lily replied. "He'll be arriving this afternoon."
Maryanne scoffed. "Does he think he's being generous? What is then offering you charity? Or is he just trying to ease his guilt?"
"No matter his intentions, I have no reason to refuse treatment just to spite him." Lily said, her growing calmness proving that her rationality was still intact.
Terence's phone suddenly rang before he could make a call. Hem glanced at it and exited Lily's ward. Before he left, he told Maryanne to keep an eye on Lily. The moment he left, Maryanne urged Lily to tell her everything about Bruce in detail. Now that she thought about it, she thought it was unlikely for Bruce to be so disrespectful toward the Devereux family.
Lily told her everything about Sarah.
