Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 906

"I went to see her a few times during her rehearsals with Isabella this past month," Audrey continued. "Her sensitivity to music and her incredible memory make it easy for her to learn so many pieces."

Charlotte Kelly added, "Autism is a psychological condition, not an intellectual one. I suppose the Smiths really did just dislike the child, not that they were unaware of her potential. And because they never bothered to pay her any mind, they never realized how exceptional Lillian truly is."

Douglas Williams thought of the Smiths' past actions with disgust. "Lillian was just a baby then. You wouldn't treat a stray dog on the street with such indifference, let alone a child!"

Audrey nodded emphatically, her voice filled with indignation. "Exactly! If Camila hadn't been so relentless, searching everywhere for a doctor and finally finding Dennis, the Smiths probably would have just treated Lillian like an idiot for the rest of her life..."

The family's coordinated effort successfully stoked the embers of the elder Mr. Williams's anger. He snorted coldly. "Utterly shameful! Even the worst feuds shouldn't involve children. The Smiths are heartless, brainless fools, unable to tolerate even a small child. People like that truly have no class."

He figured it was fate that had saved a child like Lillian from suffering any longer in that family. Although the elder Mr. Williams had initially opposed Dennis's relationship with Camila because she had a child, he would never stoop so low as to attack a little girl. Even when he was displeased with Camila, he had never considered using Lillian as leverage to force them apart.

His previous attitude stemmed from a desire for his grandson to have a child of his own. But now that Dennis was unable to have biological children and wanted only this family, the patriarch's protective instincts kicked in.

"The Smiths are absolutely not getting that child back!" the elder Mr. Williams declared, his tone resolute.
