You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 89

Edric's face darkened when Irene walked away without turning back. Lily said tearfully, "Edric, go and get Irene. Talk to her. I'm fine." "Why should I? We didn't do anything wrong!" Edric helped Lily up. "I'll take you to the hospital to treat the wound." While the doctor was treating Lily in the operation room, Edric stood alone outside, feeling irked. How could Irene be so cruel? How could she be so heartless?

A surprised voice rang out from behind all of a sudden, "Edric? Why are you here?"

Edric turned around and saw that it was Marie. Edric then nodded politely and greeted her, "Madam Walker, nice meeting you!"

"Edric, I have something to check with you." Marie pulled Edric aside. "I heard from your mother that you broke up with Lily. Is it true?"

Edric nodded. "It's true."

"That's good! That's good! Then, I wouldn't have to be worried anymore." Marie looked relieved.

"What's the matter, Madam Walker?" Marie and Lily's relationship had been quite good.

What was the meaning of her current expression?

"Edric, you mustn't tell others about this. Didn't Lily have a miscarriage three years ago?" Marie asked.

Marie lowered her voice and added, "After that, she has always been unwell; she'd been having quite a number of gynecological issues. Some time ago, she came to see me. I checked her body and found that she was no longer fit to have a baby." "What did you say?" Edric was stunned.

"The miscarriage three years ago had caused great damage to her body. Lily might not be able to have a child for the rest of her life!" Marie sighed. "She is such a good, beautiful, and kind lady. Why would God allow such a fate to befall on her?" Edric was shocked by the news. How could that be? "Madam Walker, are you sure?"

"Edric, I am an expert in this field. Why would I lie to you?" Marie exhaled deeply.

"Ever since I found out that Lily was in poor health, I have been feeling so unsettling. You know, your mother wants a grandchild so desperately. If she knows that Lily can't be pregnant, she will certainly not accept Lily. I have been her friend for many years, and I don't want to deceive her. I feel so terrible being caught in such an awkward position. I have just gone to see your mother, and she told me that Lily has broken up with you. I'm so relieved to hear that. But it's a pity for Lily. She's such a good girl; what can she do about her future life?"

Edric turned around blankly. Lily could never ever conceive again! Lily couldn't give birth because of the miscarriage three years ago!

It was unimaginable. Lily was such an innocent girl. Marie was right. Lily was such a kind person; she should not bear such pain. It was all because of him and Margaret. He must do right by Lily.

Besides, Margaret had become estranged from Irene. She was still lying in the hospital bed, lamenting that she wanted Irene to go to jail. Irene on the other hand, didn't manage to see his painstaking efforts at all.

Lily had ended up in such a state because of him. Right then, Irene's heartless words flashed across his mind. "Don't dwell on the past. Edric is the past and he is with you now. He's now but a filthy, disgusting man in my eyes. I will never accept him anymore!" Irene commented him as a filthy, disgusting man! How could she be so cruel? How could she convict him of such a crime without listening to his explanation? She was going to leave him! Since she didn't love him anymore, it would make no difference whom he married then. He would just marry Lily!
