“You little punk, can’t you see your wife’s crying: And you’re just standing there doing nothing? It’s freezing out–don’t you care if your wife gets sick? Get over here and carry her to the car!”
When James made no move to approach Lily, Henry put on a whole dramatic act, clutching his chest and groaning loudly.
“You useless punk. Don’t even know how to take care of your own wife. Look at the size of you–what a waste! Ugh… You’re trying to make me die of anger, aren’t you? You just want to give me an early funeral. don’t you? Ugh…”
He glanced down.
The ground was too wet to lie on
So he bent over instead, groaning as he went, “You’re giving me a heart attack, you little brat. Still not going to carry your wife? Ugh…
On the way to the cemetery, James had already heard about everything going on online from Ivan
He knew the truth needed solid evidence from both sides. He wasn’t going to blindly believe the Ginger family’s accusations,
Nor would he let the tide of online hate sway his judgment.
Yes, Lily had slapped Mathilda in that video. Yes, she’d stood with several girls–face surrounding Mathilda.
But that didn’t prove Lily was a bully.
blurred-
Who’s to say it wasn’t like yesterday morning, where someone else started it and Lily was just fighting back?
Looking at her now–soaking wet, face pale, shivering from cold–James felt a strange discomfort tug at his chest.
And when he remembered how she’d clung to her parents‘ grave, sobbing in pain, that tight pull around his heart grew even sharper.
But his heart belonged to Leila. He couldn’t hold another woman in his arms.
“Grandpa, there’s no need to make James carry me.”
Lily could see how unwilling James/was. She didn’t want to force him. “He just woke up a few days ago. He needs to rest. I can get to the car by myself.”
Afraid Henry would insist again, she quickly turned and started walking toward the car.
Henry, fuming, kicked James again–hard.
Men of the Luke family were raised to cherish their wives.

Devoted for life. Loyal to the end.
He had no idea how his son had managed to raise a son like this.

This little punk had zero sense of duty. If Henry died tomorrow, he wouldn’t even be able to face their ancestors!
Clearly, it was his son’s fault–bad genes and worse parenting!
The more Henry thought about it, the angrier he got. He threw a disdainful glare at his son.
Blanc had been quietly holding the umbrella for Nancy the whole time. He didn’t expect to get caught in the crossfire from his own father’s glare.
He immediately realized–he was getting blamed just for being related to this idiot. With a scowl of his own, he shot James a glare too,
James, ever sharp, understood exactly what his father and grandfather meant.
But his heart–thoug
person.
wide enough to carry the weight of mountains and rivers–could only hold one
No matter how good Lily was, she was still just someone on the outside. He wouldn’t betray Leila for someone who didn’t matter.
Back at the Luke family home, Nancy and the others didn’t bring up the internet scandal right away. Instead, they told Lily to take a hot shower and change into clean clothes.
The bathroom door had already been repaired, so tily didn’t have to stay tense or worry about someone walking in. While the hot water poured down, she was finally able to let herself go completely.
She had always been the kind of person who trudged forward no matter how hard the path, pushing through thorns to pull herself out of darkness,
She’d never dared imagine what it felt like to have someone reach out and help her..
And it turned out–it felt light. And warm.
She was finding it harder and harder to let go of the Luke family.
If only James didn’t hate her so much… If he had even the slightest willingness to continue their marriage. she’d want to stay.
But because the Luke family was so good to her, she couldn’t ruin James’s chance at happiness.
No matter how much it broke her heart, she had to keep her promise and part ways with them in six months.
“Lily, come sit by me.”
Once she was dressed and ready, Lily
came down to the living room
The moment she sat beside Grace, Grace tucked a beautifully embroidered hand warmer into her arms. “Hold this to warm up.

Lily held the pink hand warmer clumsily, caught off guard.
Ever since her parents died, she’d always been the one taking care of others.
At the orphanage, she’d learned to care for the younger kids, or those who couldn’t take care of themselves.

Before Mathilda returned to the Ginger family, they had treated her decently–but most of the time, she was the one looking after them.
She had to comfort Luna, who was a wreck after losing her daughter, and talk sense into the three brothers who blamed themselves for losing their little sister.
After she was kicked out of the Ginger family, she ran into John trying to end his life in a wheelchair.
And again, she became the one taking care of someone who’d been abandoned by everyone
else.
She was so used to being the caretaker that now, being on the receiving end of kindness… she didn’t know how to react.
Before she could even snap out of it, Nancy wrapped her up in a soft, cozy blanket.
Then she gently squeezed Lily’s hand. “Still this cold? Ivan, go bring the soup I made.”
“Got it.” Ivan was worried too. As soon as Nancy gave the order, he hurried off to the kitchen without a second thought.
