Chapter 636: 639: Bella Scott, A Qualified Mother
Skye Brown is a fiercely loyal person and even when facing an opponent taller than her like Albert Landers, she doesn’t back down and stares him down.
“I know you’re Lily’s brother, and yes, you have more right to speak than me… but don’t forget Hannah Ford is your sister and Lily is your biological sister too!”
“Lily has only just reunited with you, and you’re already biased like this. If this continues, well… it’s hard to say what will happen.”
Albert Landers may be a rich playboy, but he is the kind of playboy who loves face and has a thin skin.
A girl like Skye Brown confronts him to his face, which immediately makes him blush, “You… you’re talking nonsense! I just don’t like an outsider meddling in our family’s affairs… who said we’d be biased!”
Albert Landers ignores Skye Brown, turns to Lily Gray and says, “Lily, you were also adopted by the Gray family. Think about it, if they had their own child later, and threw you away, how would you feel?”
“I don’t know what Hannah did to wrong you, but since she’s not here now, your friend can plant false charges on her. But regardless, she’s still part of our Ford family. You may not like her, but you can’t drive her away… her health is bad, and staying in M Country for treatment is her only chance at survival!”
Although Albert is young and frivolous, he has a clear-cut stand on matters.
Noah Ford and Oliver Ford listen to his words, frown with disapproval.
But they can’t refute it.
Because most of what Albert said is true.
Even the direct reference to the relationship between Lily Gray and the Gray family leaves her moved.
If Mr. and Mrs. Gray were still alive, and they had another child later, would she be heartbroken if they drove her away?
The answer, of course, is yes…
Lily Gray is silent, after a while, she looks up at the Ford’s father and sons, and says, “I won’t interfere in Hannah’s situation. Dad, just follow the arrangements you made before.”
“Lilith…”
“Dad, I’m fine… I’m tired. Ethan Wilson, I need a rest.” Lily Gray leans on Ethan Wilson for support, for him, is her refuge from the storm.
“Mr. Ford, Lily is tired.” Ethan Wilson sees the guests off.
There was no way the Ford family could stay any longer. The ‘meeting of the family’ ended with this subtle atmosphere.
…
By this time, Ethan Wilson had come to regret allowing Lily Gray to interact with the Ford family.
His little one, whom he couldn’t cherish enough himself, was so easily hurt by the Ford family.
But their subsequent performance surprised him.
Although Bella Scott left Lily Gray to take care of Hannah Ford.
However, after that incident, she would come to visit Lily Gray every day without fail.
At the beginning, because of the incident that day, Lily Gray was somewhat guarded and resistant toward Bella Scott.
However, after a few more interactions, she realized that Bella Scott genuinely loved and cared for her.
Each day, Bella Scott would personally get up early and go to the market to pick the freshest ingredients to make soup for Lily Gray.
Bella Scott, who was born into the Scott family and grew up in luxury, took care of her daughter and compensated for her losses over the years. Whether it was making soup or picking out ingredients, she never asked anyone else for help and did everything herself.
Not only that, but she also showed great love and care for Ben Lucas.
As Lily Gray couldn’t visit the ward, Bella Scott would take Albert Landers with her every day to visit little Ben Lucas.
Watching her grandson through the glass, she couldn’t get enough of it.
Afterwards, she would take many pictures and bring them to Lily Gray’s room to share with her.
Mother and daughter sat together, laughing as they looked at Ben’s photos, gradually becoming closer.
Even Skye Brown, who had been watching from the sidelines, gradually let go of her prejudices against Bella Scott as she saw her devotion to Lily Gray during these days.
It can be said, that aside from the disagreements on how to handle Hannah Ford’s situation.
Bella Scott could be considered a qualified mother.
However…
