Chapter 9

The butler appeared to be shocked by Lily Gray’s words, opening and closing her mouth without uttering a single word.

Lily Gray ignored her, instructing the butler to move her bed back to its original position and lay down to rest peacefully.

With so many reporters guarding outside, neither Lucas family members nor those troublesome relatives from the Gray family dared to cause any trouble. Mercy Hospital had once received donations from her mother, and her mother also spent her last days here, so she was very familiar with the medical personnel. Therefore, she didn’t have to worry about any disturbances.

Just get some good rest here, Lily Gray.

You’ve already lost your mother, and you can’t be as weak and helpless as before. The husband and in-laws you once thought you could rely on have turned into even more greedy and terrifying giant beasts.

People can only rely on themselves.

Recalling the bits and pieces her mother had taught her in the past, Lily Gray lay on the hospital bed and gradually fell asleep.

…

When she opened her eyes, there was an unfamiliar man sitting next to her.

“Who are you?” Lily Gray sat up in alarm, grabbing the emergency bell with her right hand while hurriedly putting on her black-framed glasses from the nightstand with her left hand.

Without her glasses, she felt insecure.

“Miss Gray, don’t be afraid. I’m not a villain.” The man was wearing a well-fitted suit and, like her, also had a pair of glasses on his face.

Only, his were gold-rimmed frames.

“Villains never admit to being villains.” Although the man appeared cultured and refined, the guarded look on Lily Gray’s face did not relax in the slightest.

Ever since her mother fell ill, the butler and servants of the Gray family had become insincere. At the very least, they still didn’t dare to act too outrageously on the surface.

But now, this man was actually able to make the butler abandon her and let him in directly.

How could she possibly let her guard down against someone like him?

“I apologize for startling Miss Gray and causing a misunderstanding.” The bespectacled man gave her a sincere smile, with no signs of faking, “My name is Samuel Mckinley. I came here to discuss with Miss Gray the events that took place on the night before last.”

“The night before last…”

A man’s bare chest and strong arms suddenly appeared before her eyes. Lily Gray looked at him in astonishment —

“You, you’re the man who took advantage of me!?”

“Cough… cough…” The man seemed even more shocked than her.

“Miss Gray, you must be joking. I’m just Mr. Cooper’s assistant. The person you spent the night with was Mr. Cooper.” Samuel Mckinley quickly clarified his relationship, appearing calm on the surface, but only he himself knew the ten thousand racing thoughts inside him.

Mr. Lucas hated it when someone else touched his belongings. It was unacceptable for anyone to even touch or stain them.

“Mr. Cooper?” Lily Gray went through the name in her head. It seemed as if A City didn’t have a wealthy heir with the surname Chen that would live in such a luxurious condominium.

“Yes.” Samuel Mckinley was completely unaware that Lily Gray had gone off on a tangent, and continued to nod, “I came on behalf of Mr. Cooper to tell Miss Gray that Mr. Cooper was very satisfied with the events of that night and would like to maintain such a relationship with Miss Gray.”

Lily Gray had already anticipated in advance various requests the other party might make when they found her, but she swore that Samuel Mckinley’s words were definitely not within her expectations.

“Maintain such a relationship?” She couldn’t help but repeat, “Mr. Mckinley, I’d like to clarify, what kind of relationship does your…um… Mr. Cooper want to maintain with me?”
