And she would never, ever be able to do anything intimate with him.
She thought something was wrong with him in that department….
It didn’t matter.
It was whatever.
It wasn’t important!

James didn’t care what Lily thought, so he didn’t bother explaining himself. He simply repeated, “Get out.”
Lily flinched at the chill in his voice.
Seeing his expression as cold as ancient ice, she realized she’d hurt his sensitive, fragile male pride by speaking the truth.
He didn’t want a doctor to check him out right now either.)
But since she genuinely liked Grace and the other elders in the family, she naturally wished James good health and happiness.
The fact that he refused treatment worried her.
Still, the thought that doctors would be doing regular checkups on him anyway brought her some comfort. Even if he refused help now, they’d eventually pick up on any issues during routine exams. Her heart, which had been tightly clenched, slowly cased back into place.
She hoped he’d recover soon, find someone he truly loved after they divorced, and live a life full of children and grandchildren–not end up like her, stripped of the ability to have children forever.
The thought that she would never get to be a thother again darkened Lily’s eyes. Without saying another word, she quietly walked out of the room.
After she left, James still looked terrible.
Especially when he was scrubbing his own clothes–wayes of disgust for himself surged up again and again, consuming his heart and making him feel like death would’ve been easier.
After showering, he grabbed his phone. He couldn’t resist the urge to send Leila another message: “I’m
sorry.”
But then he remembered how much she hated it when he apologized all the time. In the end, he didn’t
send it.
All those thoughts and emotions were reduced to just two words.
Good morning.
Everything that had happened last night–in the bathroom, and in that absurd dream–had been a mistake.

From now on, he had to be more careful. He could never let himself have physical contact with Lily again.
Lately, a few good roles Lily had been shortlisted for had all ended up going to Elsa
Still, she had a number of minor side characters to voice, so she was going to stay busy either way.
After breakfast, she headed to the recording studio.
Most directors in the industry didn’t mess around with voice actors. Normally, there were plenty of people in the studio too. What happened yesterday had been an exception. There was no way she was going to let someone like Randall–who was nothing more than a walking pile of crap–get in the way of her dreams.
Today, she was scheduled at the Crumble recording studio.
The director of Crumble–Annie–had only booked her to do a few minor supporting roles. Lily calculated that she could wrap it all up by midday.
Then she’d have time in the afternoon to look at apartments.
Once she moved out of the Luke family home in six months, she couldn’t just live in hotels forever. Since she had some money now, she wanted to buy a place of her own.
But just as she finished her work, Annie surprised her by saying she loved her voice and expressiveness, and asked her to voice the second female lead.
It was completely unexpected–and such a welcome surprise!
The second female lead in Crumble, a character named Lauren, had a fantastic character arc. Aside from the Nezha role, this was easily the best part she’d landed in a while.
Lily was sincerely grateful for Annie’s recognition and silently promised herself that she would give it everything she had. She wouldn’t let her down.
After going over the plot of Crumble, Lily threw herself completel
into the intense recording process.
She was fully immersed in Lauren’s tangled world of love and hate when Annie’s voice suddenly rang out -sharp and cold. “Lily!”
Lily looked up instinctively–and met a gaze full of disgust.
She froze.
Annie had praised her so many times today.
Whenever she’d looked at her, her eyes had been full of admiration and encouragement. Lily hadn’t expected to be on the receiving end of a look like that.
Seeing Annie frown and wave her over, she thought she’d done something wrong in her performance. She quickly took off her headphones and set down the mic, walking toward her.
“You’re not voicing Lauren anymore! Our team does not work with disgusting bullies! Get out! I, Annie, will never work with you again!”
As she spoke, Annie viciously threw the script right in Lily’s face.

A bully?
Lily was stunned.

She’d been bullied by the Ginger family, yes–but she had never bullied anyone else. Why would Annie accuse her of that?
She didn’t want to lose such a great role like Lauren’s–not to mention being wrongly accused. She quickly said. “I’m not a bully, 1-
“Not a bully?” Annie sneered. “Right. Because bullies never admit they’re bullies.”
“Lily, your adoptive parents and all three of their sons have issued statements. They’ve confirmed you bullied Mathilda. How dare you still claim you’re not a bully?”
“Get out! Everything you recorded this morning is scrapped. And the damage you’ve caused our team–Ill be holding you legally responsible. Expect to hear from my lawyers! Get out!”
“I never bullied Mathilda! It was the Ginger family–they were the ones who bullied me! I-”
