Three days later.
The Garrison family.
Normally, she would have to stay in the hospital for a week.
But she really didn’t like hospitals and was very resistant to them.
After staying in the hospital for two days, he forced himself to go home.
Sam couldn’t resist her. With the doctor’s permission, he brought her back.
But in the past two days, a doctor would come and give her an anti-inflammatory injection.
Today, the doctor came early. When she finished the drip, it was time for dinner.
Lacey lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
Yesterday, her mother brought her all day’s food.
But she didn’t like the feeling of being served by others, which made her feel like a useless person.
Wearing a thick coat, she took the elevator downstairs.
In the restaurant, Alvaro, Tilly, and Lillianna were eating at the table.
From time to time, the laughter of Lillianna could be heard.
Today was Friday. Sophia was still in school and would not be back until the afternoon.
As for… Sam, she had never cared about him.
“Ms. Carter, why did you come down?” A maid hurried forward to help her.
Her voice made the people who were eating look back.
Lacey looked at the maid and nodded in gratitude. “No need, thank you.”
After that, he went to the restaurant.
When Tilly and Lillianna saw her, the smile on their faces suddenly stopped.
“Lacey, you’re here? Come and have a seat.” Alvaro seemed much more enthusiastic.
Lacey hurried over with a smile. The servant immediately pulled out the stool and she sat down.
“Aunt Paige, add a pair of tableware,” Alvaro said as he looked at her. “Are you feeling better?”
When Lacey was about to answer, Aunt Paige, who was busy in the kitchen, came out with bowls and chopsticks.
She was a little stunned when she saw Lacey. “Miss… Ms. Carter, why, why did you come down? I, I’m preparing food for you. It’ll be served soon!”
Lillianna could not help covering her mouth and laughing.
Tilly said, “Mother Zhang, take her there and bring the dishes here.”
Hearing this, Aunt Paige hurriedly said: “Ms. Carter, let’s go up, I will send you up right away!” As she said this, she was about to help her up.
“That’s enough, Aunt Paige. Lacey is down there. Let’s eat together.” Alvaro waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to send them over alone.
Seeing this, Aunt Paige looked at Tilly with some embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
“What do you mean by eating together? Don’t you feel unlucky?” Tilly said with a sneer.
Alvaro frowned and looked at her. “Why are you talking nonsense?”
“Lacey, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?” Lillianna asked with concern.
Lacey picked up her chopsticks and picked up a dish without paying attention to her.
“Lacey, I know you’re sad, and so am I… But it’s okay. I believe that you’ll have a baby in the future. I’ve asked Dr. John. He said that although it’s very difficult to get pregnant after having one of the care unit removed, I believe there’s still a chance, right?” She quickly comforted her. “Don’t worry… At least you can have a baby test!”
Lacey looked up and sneered at her hypocritical face.
It was difficult to get pregnant!
A test baby?
This was really a “kind” greeting!
“Thank you for your concern, sister. I will work harder with my ‘husband’!” She smiled and said with a bright face, “After all, we are both young. No matter how many activities we have together, the result will always blossom, right?”
Seeing this, Lillianna smiled, but she thought in her heart, “Shameless b*tch!”
Tilly smiled disdainfully and looked at Lacey. “See, you are so mean that even God can’t bear to see you. I thought you were great just because you have a child. Well, God has taken you away. Ha, as a human being, you’d better not be too cheap. It’s too cheap. Be careful, God will kill you!”
“Tilly!” Alvaro frowned. “Is this what a mother-in-law should say?”
“Bah!” Tilly sneered. “Who is her mother-in-law? I told you, my daughter-in-law is only Lillianna!”
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but grab Lillianna’s hand and say, “You’re just too kind!”
“Mommy…” Lillianna called her timidly. Then, she couldn’t help looking at Lacey and her eyes were full of panic. “Aunt, don’t talk about Lacey like that… She didn’t do it on purpose…”
Tilly naturally saw the look in her eyes. She frowned and said, “Don’t call me aunt. I’ve told you. Call me mommy!”
Lillianna lowered her eyes and said, “But now it’s Lacey and… Sam… I’m afraid I’m not lucky enough to be your daughter-in-law and uncle’s daughter-in-law…”
Tears welled up in her big eyes as soon as she finished speaking.
This scene made Tillys heart ache even more.
“Who says he’s not blessed? I’ll make him get a divorce in a few days. How can our Garrison family want an eggless hen!” Tilly glared at Lacey with dissatisfaction.
“All right, all right. What you said is too harsh. No matter what happens in the future, Lacey is now our daughter-in-law. If others hear your words, they won’t know how to laugh at you,” Alvaro said.
“This is our home. There is no one else here. Lillianna is not an outsider.” Tilly curled her lips and looked at her slowly with a smile.
“What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?” Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
As she turned around, she saw Sam walking straight toward her in a dark casual suit.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes filled with helplessness and love…
“Hey, why did you come back so early today?” Tilly was a little surprised to see her son come back.
“I’ve finished my work at the company, so I’m back.” Sam sat beside Lacey and asked, “Why did you come down? Are you feeling better?”
“I’m fine now,” Lacey said in a bland tone.
“I’ve heard from your uncle recently that you want to buy a company?” Alvaro asked.
Hearing this, Lillianna was stunned for a moment. What?
That was a big company!
Once the acquisition was successful, Sam’s name on the world’s rich list would rise several times.
“Yes, we’re talking in detail.”
At this time, Aunt Paige immediately added more bowls and chopsticks.
“This is not easy to acquire. I heard that several large companies are eyeing us covetously. Do you have the confidence to do so?” Alvaro asked again.
“Let nature take its course,” Sam said with a faint smile. He picked up a chicken leg and placed it in Lacey’s bowl. “Eat more.”
Seeing this, Alvaro nodded and said, “Okay, if there is anything you can’t solve, come to me.”
With this, he stood up and said, “I have an appointment with a friend to play golf. Take your time. I will go first.”
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
“Lillianna, I seem to remember that your father’s company belongs to the Thunderecords, right?” Tilly suddenly thought of something and looked at Lillianna and asked.
Lillianna nodded hurriedly and said, “Yes, one of my father’s companies belongs to the financial company. If we buy it… then…”
“Then we’re a family!” Tilly smiled. “Once we buy it, we’ll give your father more and more business.”
Lillianna hurriedly said, “No, I know. Once the group is acquired, there will be many companies to share the profits. I don’t want outsiders to talk nonsense because of me. If I really buy it, my father will definitely compete with those companies for this subsidiary with his own strength!”
Such an idea made Lillianna generous, considerate, and fully show her generosity.
Lacey paused for a moment as she ate. Then, she turned to look at Sam and said, “I want to go to school next Monday.”
“Huh?” Sam paused and looked at her. “Go to school?”
“Yes, it’s almost April. I’ve been off school for a long time. I need to go to school. I’ll graduate in June and June soon. If I don’t hurry up, I’m afraid it’ll be too late.”
“You haven’t recovered yet. Take a rest first. I’ll arrange things for you at school,” Sam said.
“I’m fine. I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?” The man’s dark eyes were fixed on her.
“I’m sure!”
The two answered one by one and directly ignored the existence of Lillianna.
In this way, Lillianna could not help clenching her hands into fists on her legs.
However, the smile of concern on her face did not fade away. “Lacey, you haven’t fully recovered yet, so you should take a rest first. As for your homework, I can help you, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Lacey looked up at her and suddenly smiled. “Help me?”
Lillianna did not speak. Looking at her smile, she felt that something was wrong.
“When you pass the exam, you can say that you want to help me!” After that, she put down her chopsticks and said, “Mom, I’m full. I’ll go upstairs first.”
“Wait for me, let’s go together.” Sam also put down his chopsticks and was ready to leave. However, he suddenly thought of something and looked back at Lillianna. “Lillianna, are you feeling better?”
This question made Lillianna, who had been depressed, come to her senses all of a sudden. She nodded excitedly and said, “Well, much better. Thank you for your concern…”
Sam nodded and said, “Since it’s almost over, you should go home. I believe that without you at home, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will be worried about you!”
Lillianna: …
“Let’s go.” The man put his arm around Lacey’s shoulder and led her to the elevator.
“Aunt… auntie…” Lillianna bit her lips and her eyes suddenly turned red. “Sam… Is he… chasing me away?”
“Lillianna, don’t listen to his nonsense. Where are you going? This is your home!” Tilly took out a tissue to wipe her tears. “Don’t worry, as long as I am here, no one will bully you. Soon, I will make them divorce!”
Lillianna quickly leaned over in Qu Sherong’s arms and sobbed.
“Why did you drive her away?” Lacey returned to her room and asked casually.
Sam poured a glass of water, walked over, and handed it to her. “I don’t like how she bullied you.”
Lacey, who was sitting on the sofa and taking the cup of water, was a little surprised and looked at him.
The man did not say anything, but stared at her with a meaningful look, and an unfathomable smile suddenly appeared in his dark eyes.
Lacey quickly looked away, holding the glass of water, and seemed to be lost in thought.
“Are you lost in thought again?” The man put his hands on both sides of the single sofa and looked down at her.
Lacey looked up at him and suddenly asked, “If I register a company now, can I compete with others for your business?”
