Chapter 408 Silence stretched for a few seconds on Tamara's side.

"Is she hurt?" she asked. "Your grandma just saw the news. Your dad and I are on our way home now, and we'll drop by later."

Xavier thought about Terence and Maryanne. It didn't matter that Maryanne was in Lily's ward, but that wasn't the case for Terence. After all, his intentions were as clear as day.

Contemplating for a while, he replied, "Grandma isn't exactly fit, so don't let her—"

"I can't stop her," Tamara intervened, knowing what he was going to say. "Besides, no matter what, Lily is still the daughter-in-law of the Fulton family. Now that she's involved in such an accident, we must visit her."

Xavier didn't argue further. After hanging up, he exited the stairwell, only to realize that Terence was already gone.

The door to the examination room was ajar, but only Marvin and the nurse were in there. It seemed Lily's examination was over, and Terence had taken her back.
