The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 64 A Marriage He Never Chose

Nancy’s flawless, perfectly composed face was now tight with tension and anxious hope. James reall called you?” Nancy asked, her voice trembling.

Blanc, usually the calm and unshakable businessman, looked visibly rattled. His fingers were shaking, He turned a cold stare on Ivan. “If you’re messing with me, I swear, you’re gonna regret it

“I’m not!” Ivan looked downright offended, like he’d just been wrongly convicted of something. Dad I swear I’m telling the truth. Look–check the call log” He quickly handed over his phone. James really called me just now. But… I think there’s some kind of misunderstanding with Lily. He said she–he said she assaulted him. He told me to call the cops.”

“What did you just say?” Blanc snapped.

“That little brat is out of his damn mind–treating his wife like that? I’m going up there to knock some sense into him!” Henry growled, already on his feet.

At first, when they saw the call log on Ivan’s phone and realized James was really awake, Henry and the others were genuinely overjoyed.

But the second Ivan mentioned that James wanted Lily taken to the police… Henry’s expression turned to fury.

Grace didn’t believe in miracles. But she did believe in love–and presence. Maybe what James needed wasn’t another specialist. Maybe he needed something real. A steady voice. A warm presence. Someone who would talk to him like he was still there, who would treat him like a person, not a patient.

When Lily agreed to marry into the family–knowing James might never open his eyes–Grace took it as a sign. She didn’t say it out loud, but deep down, she hoped Lily’s kindness and quiet strength might reach him. And then he woke up. To Grace and Henry, that wasn’t luck or timing. It was Lily.

And now their ungrateful grandson had the nerve to treat her like a criminal? No chance they were letting that slide.

The four of them stormed upstairs, furious. Ivan hurried after them.

Down the hall, in the room, Lily had finally pulled herself together.
