Chapter 396 The Child He Never Wanted

“Lily!”

Just as Henry was about to throw in a few more jabs at James, Dennis and Zoey rushed into the hospital room with their son and daughter–in–law.

“Lily, you’ve suffered so much…”

When Zoey noticed the cuts and scrapes on Lily’s delicate, pale hand, tears welled up in her eyes.

“Grandma, I’m fine,” Lily said quying to comfort her.

“I’d just been trafficked when James found me. I didn’t suffer. I wasn’t hurt. Please don’t cry.”

“Lily…”

Zoey had already spoken with the doctor.

While Lily didn’t have any major visible injuries, she did have bruises on her lower back and abdomen. Clearly, someone had beaten her.

She was also showing signs of a threatened miscarriage–she’d need to rest and recover carefully.

How could she say she hadn’t suffered? She was just trying to spare them the pain.

Zoey’s heart ached–aching that Lily had endured so much while pregnant, aching even more that she was still so thoughtful and mature. She pulled Lily into a tight embrace.

“Enough tears,” Dennis said gently, kneeling beside her. “The doctor said Lily needs to stay calm and happy for the baby. If you cry like this, it’ll upset her.”

“Yes! I’m going to be a great–grandmother!”

Honestly, Zoey had already come to terms with the fact that her sons were probably never getting married or having kids.
