Grace looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and her eyes couldn’t help but become very, very moist again. “I’m so afraid Lily is already…”

Zoey wiped the corner of her eye.

She actually understood, too; she was afraid Lily was already gone.

But she was unwilling to accept this reality and didn’t want to see her old friend suffering so much, so she still held Grace’s hand and coaxed her softly, “This child, Lily, has had a hard life, always suffering grievances.”

“But Lily is a fortunate person. Her good days are all ahead of her. She will definitely return home safely!”

“Yes, Lily is blessed by heaven, she definitely won’t be harmed.” Grace’s eyes were mournful, and she murmured nonstop, as if trying to convince herself.

“Grandma!”

Just as the two elderly women were immersed in unspeakable heartache and worry, they heard Marilyn’s clear, cheerful voice.

Neither of them liked Marilyn to begin with. At a time like this, seeing her gleeful appearance, both their expressions darkened further.

Marilyn felt she would definitely gain status through her child and was immersed in the joy of soon becoming the matriarch of the Luke family, but she didn’t notice the strangeness in their expressions.

She hadn’t been pregnant for long, so it was impossible for it to be showing.

But she felt the child in her belly was too precious, and when she walked, she habitually supported her stomach, her posture as if she were already seven or eight months pregnant.

“Grandma, you’re here too!”

She beamed at the two elderly women and, supporting her stomach, walked slowly over to them.

“I heard about Lily’s situation.”

death, Marilyn was so delighted she wished she could laugh out loud several times.

However, she still had to put on a show.

To display her kindness and understanding, she still pretended to wipe the corner of her eye. “For something so awful to happen to Lily, I really feel so heartbroken and sad. I hope she can be okay. But actually, we all know in our hearts, so much time has passed, she must already be…”

“Idiot, shut your mouth!” Before she could finish, Grace cut her off sharply.

When Lily fell into the deep sea, both her hands and feet were tied. She couldn’t swim, couldn’t save herself, and could only be passively swallowed by the rolling waves.

After such a long time, with nothing found, everyone actually knew in their hearts that the probability of her survival was very, very low.

But knowing it in their hearts was one thing; at a time like this, Grace still found Marilyn’s words exceptionally grating.

Zoey couldn’t give Marilyn a pleasant look either, saying sharply, “Stop spouting nonsense here! Lily is so wonderful, nothing will happen to her!”

Marilyn supported her waist and pouted.

She was carrying the Luke family’s most precious treasure, yet these two old women were still treating her so poorly. She was extremely annoyed.

However, these two old women were both extremely rich, and she still hoped they would both hurry up and give their assets to her, so she didn’t lose her temper at them.

She touched her still–flat abdomen, saying proudly yet feigning thoughtfulness, “Grandma, I know you both wanted to hold your great–grandchild, and I understand how hard it is to accept that Lily and her babies are gone. But don’t forget, I’m carrying Victor’s flesh and blood–the only heir of the Luke family, the last of your line.”

She brought up the child in her belly at this moment precisely to make these two old women understand–she was the only one who could carry on the Luke family name.

She felt that since the Luke family was only left with this one precious great–grandchild in her belly, these two old women would both coddle her and humor her. Who knew that Zoey would suddenly stand up and slap her hard across the face?

“Get lost! I will never let Victor marry a disgusting creature like you! As for the child in your belly… The mother of this child, neither the Bale family nor the Luke family wants anything to do with, so how could we possibly want that child?!”
