Facade of Love

Chapter 179 He Never Cared for Her

With a smile on his face, Liam coaxed Madam Young, saying, “It’s nothing major. Mr. Zachary just can’t decide on something and thought Iddy should have a look.”

Upon hearing this, Idris stood up and addressed Madam Young, “Grandma, I’ll go check it out and come back soon.”

Madam Young could only nod in response and wave him off, saying, “Go ahead,”

Idris nodded. His gaze lingered briefly on me, as if suggesting I should stay and chat with Grandma for a while. I did not look at him. My eyes fell on the half–eaten apple in my hand, finding its taste excessively sweet. I did not like it.

After Idris left, the ward became lively again. Liam chatted with Madam Young, mostly about his interesting encounters abroad. The novelty of his stories made her laugh.

Emily sat quietly on the side. She seemed to always speak very little. Her beautiful eyes watched Liam as he amused Madam Young, filled with love and admiration.

For a moment, I felt a bit dazed. These two had been married for many years, but after all this time, Emily’s gaze still held love and admiration for Liam. It seemed he was truly the light of her life.
