Chapter 211 No Room for Mercy

Chapter 211 No Room for Mercy

But Wendy had no intention of going to prison. Still kneeling, she quietly gave Elsa a look, signaling her to keep pressing the matter with John and Simon.

Elsa immediately caught on. She sniffled and let out a delicate, trembling sol, like a blood–weeping cuckoo. “I don’t want my mom to go to jail. I’m so scared she won’t be there when I die…”

“Lily, that’s enough.”

John pulled Elsa tighter into his arms and snapped at Lily, voice sharp and stern. “Stop deliberately upsetting Elsa! If anything happens to her because of you, I’ll never forgive you!”

“Wow, this so–called terminal illness really is a get–out–of–jail–free card, isn’t it?”

Lily’s beautiful eyes were cool and full of mockery.

“So Elsa’s life matters, but mine doesn’t? Just because she’s dying, I’m supposed to give her everything? Just because she’s dying, nearly getting killed and destroyed myself was somehow deserved? What kind of logic is that? I don’t believe it, and I won’t accept it.”

She sneered, voice growing sharper. “John, you love your precious Elsa–then you sacrifice, you protect her, you give her everything. She’s nothing to me. Who are you to demand that I sacrifice, that I suffer for her? She doesn’t deserve it. And neither do you.”

Her tone turned chilling. “Ha. And if it turns out one day that Elsa’s illness is all an act, wouldn’t that be something.

John’s brow furrowed.

He thought accusing Elsa of faking her illness was harsh. And he hated seeing Lily so full of thorns, so defiant and difficult.

But there was something about the bitterness behind her sarcasm, the hollow look in her eyes–it made him feel like she was slipping further and further away from him.

That sensation–that he was about to lose her–made his chest clench.

Unsettled and anxious, he forgot to argue. He just hugged Elsa tighter and muttered, distracted, “Elsa, you’re coughing up blood. Let’s get you to a doctor first.”

Elsa didn’t want to see a doctor. What she wanted was for Lily to back down, to give in.

But John was walking too fast, and Simon had already followed close behind. She had no choice but to let him carry her away.

“Lily, it’s better to make friends than enemies. You don’t have to be so ruthless. You…”

Wendy tugged discreetly on Luna’s sleeve. Luna quickly picked up the cue and tried to speak on her behalf.

She didn’t get far before Nancy cut her off coldly

Luna, that’s nonsense. Once someone becomes your enemy, why bother making peace! The right in to get revenge, pay back what’s owed, and settle the score a hundred fold. So stop embarrassing yoursel

Clearly, Nancy supported Lily taking things all the way.

Wendy started to panic when she saw she wasn’t even going to get face from her old classmate.

“Nancy, we’re old friends, you can’t-”

“Oh, now you remember we’re old friends?”

Nancy didn’t let her finish. “Wlien you were scheming against my daughter–in–law, did you remember we were old classmates? You had no conscience, and now you expect us to show you kindness? What kind of world are you living in?”

She scoffed. “If you love daydreaming so much–well, good news, Wendy. Prison is a long time. You’ll have all the time in the world to dream in there.”

She turned to the others. “Lily’s injured. She needs to rest. All of you–get out.”

Wendy was still unwilling to give up.

But then Ivan–no one knew where he found it–suddenly stormed in waving a broom like a madman, sweeping at their feet as if to literally chase them out.

And with the entire Luke family standing firmly behind Lily, she could only grit her teeth and slink away, defeated.

The three Ginger brothers didn’t like what they saw either. Lily was relentless and aggressive, and it showed plainly on their faces.

But they were all busy men. After each took a call, they made excuses and left

Sean lingered at the doorway. He couldn’t help but turn back to look at Lily.

James stood right beside her. The sight was like a thorn in his eye..

Especially after James had just called her his wife.

The Luke family was powerful. As long as they were protecting Lily, he couldn’t take her by force.

The only way to keep her by his side forever was to make the Luke family give her up.

And the only way to do that–was to make James marry Mathilda.

Lily could only belong to him.

As Luna left the hospital room, she, too, cast one last glance at Lily.

Her face was pale as paper. The sight brought back a memory from years ago.
