Chapter 891:

Lucilla was awake, propped up in bed despite her weakness.

“Ms. Bennett, Caden,” she greeted them.

Caden paused at the doorway, choosing not to enter. Lucilla eyed him, remembering his earlier words, and clenched her fists, her lip caught between her teeth.

This was new territory for Lucilla, but desperate to cut ties with her family and enticed by the money, she was determined to make it work.
