Chapter 185 She’s Not Alone Anymore

Simon knew he couldn’t win in a fight against James.

Growing up, he had always admired his dazzlingly brilliant cousin.

The moment he heard James‘ voice, his first instinct was to let go of Lily’s throat.

But then he remembered how Lily had hurt Wendy so badly–how she might take Lizzy’s mother from her, might even worsen Lizzy’s condition. He couldn’t forgive that. His face darkened further, and he tightened his grip.

Bang!

Seeing that Simon didn’t understand human language, James didn’t waste another word. He stepped forward and landed a heavy punch straight to Simon’s face.

Simon stumbled back from the pain, and Lily’s body was finally released.

“Lily!”

Seeing the deep red mark around Lily’s neck, Grace’s heart broke. She wiped at her eyes, choking back sobs.

Nancy rushed forward and clasped Lily’s hand tightly, tears shimmering as she looked her over.

“What happened to you?”

When she saw the ugly gash on Lily’s forearm, Nancy’s tears started falling.

She noticed the blood on Lily’s pant leg and quickly bent down to roll it up.

When she saw the nearly ten–centimeter gash on Lily’s calf, she couldn’t stop crying.

“You poor child, why are you always getting hurt like this? And you’re not even getting your IV properly… What happened to your hand? Why’s it so swollen around the needle?”

The more Nancy looked, the more upset she became. Her heart ached as she scolded herself, “I should’ve made James go pick you up the moment your grandma called. Ivan, go get a doctor right now! Your sister- in–law’s bleeding again–she needs her wounds taken care of!”

Ivan was worried too. He didn’t even bother hitting the call button–he bolted out the door to find a doctor himself.

“Lily, you’ve suffered enough.”

Grace’s voice was thick with emotion, her throat tight with grief.

“Don’t pay any attention to the nonsense those people online are spewing. They’ve got no sense, they just follow the wind. I know you’re a good kid. You’d never do something like drunk driving. I believe you. That’s right–my granddaughter–in–law would never do that.”

Henry, too, liked Lily a great deal. He didn’t want to see her in pain, didn’t want her scared or worried. He

spoke up to reassure her, “James has already sent someone to investigate the scene. If that brat can’t clear your name, I’ll break his legs myself!”

Blanc didn’t usually comfort anyone besides Nancy, but even he gave James a glare before speaking coldly. “Yeah. If the brat can’t even sort out something this basic, what the hell is he good for?”

Like the others, James didn’t believe Lily would drunk drive.

Besides, Ashton had already found some inconsistencies at the scene.

Alcohol had been detected on the driver’s seat and steering wheel of Lily’s car.

What kind of idiot drinks inside the car, spilling alcohol all over it?

James was confident Ashton would find more. He would prove Lily’s innocence.

For reasons he didn’t want to examine too closely, he didn’t like seeing her anxious. He spoke in his usual cool tone, “Lily, you don’t need to worry. Ashton will get to the bottom of this and clear your name. You won’t go to prison.”

Lily wanted to say thank you.

She wanted to thank James, and thank every one of the Luke family elders.

But before she could get a word out, her vision blurred–tears welled up too fast, too hot, and she couldn’t speak.

People are strange sometimes.

Just now, when John was yelling at her, digging his fingers into her chin–she hadn’t cried.

When Simon nearly snapped her neck, forcing her to apologize to Elsa–she still hadn’t cried.

But now, being surrounded by the Luke family’s kindness, their trust, their unshakable support—she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

They didn’t even ask what happened. They just believed in her.

Even James hadn’t asked anything–he just said he’d make sure her name was cleared.

Their unconditional trust made her feel warm to the core.

She looked at James‘ cold, perfect face and thought of something she’d seen online not long ago.
