You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 44

"The doctor said it was just a fever. An intravenous drip should do it." Steven sighed and looked at his clever and sensible daughter. "Lily, you should give up on the idea of you and Edric together." "Dad, what do you mean?" Lily's face suddenly turned pale.

"What happened?" Deborah was also shocked by Steven's abrupt words.

"I saw Edric in Irene's ward." Steven hesitated for a moment, but he had to tell the truth.

"Did he find out about your relationship with Irene?" Deborah's heart sank. If Edric found out about the relationship between Steven and Irene at this moment, Lily definitely wouldn't be able to get engaged to him.

"No. I was just thinking that since he stayed by Irene's side while she was sick, it proves that he still has feelings for Irene. We all know clearly what happened between Lily and Edric. If it wasn't for Irene's inability to have children, such a thing wouldn't have happened. Now that Irene has returned, Edric's feelings for her have been rekindled. Lily, you'd better back out."

"Dad!" Lily looked sad and pitiful, with her tears rolling down.

"I know that you like Edric, but his heart doesn't belong to you. He only feels guilty towards you, and you won't be happy." Steven persuaded her, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have sacrificed you because I felt sorry for Irene."

"Steven, have you forgotten why Irene got a divorce? Even if Lily can back out so Irene and Edric can rekindle their romance, Irene still won't be able to have children. Wouldn't Margaret still meddle in their affairs? The Myers Family spans several generations, so it's impossible for them not to want children."

Deborah calmed herself down. If she hadn't told Steven that Irene was bullied by Margaret all the time, and if she hadn't said that she was willing to sacrifice Lily so Irene could be happy and have a harmonious family, they wouldn't have been able to convince Steven that easily.

Steven was silent. It was indeed troublesome that Irene couldn't give birth. He saw clearly what kind of person Margaret was.

Since Irene couldn't give birth, Margaret would still make things difficult. Upon seeing his hesitation, Lily regained her composure and burst into tears. "Dad, the entire San Fetillo city knows about what happened between me and Edric. Aren't you forcing me to die by making me back out now? How can I live with the shame?" "Nonsense! What do you mean by saying you'd die?" Deborah shouted at Lily fiercely. Lily understood her mother's insinuations and knelt down on the ground.

"Dad, if no one knew what happened between me and Edric, I definitely would back out. But now, everyone knows. So if I back out, I have no other choice but to die!"

Steven looked at his crying daughter and sighed. "I was just mentioning it, so why are you so emotional?"

Deborah helped Lily up. "Lily, your father was just mentioning it. He simply feels anguished about your sister's suffering. It's just that we owe you sister, but you can't threaten your father with suicide. You're also his child. How can he bear to let you die?"
