Chapter 472:

She quickly ended the call and grabbed the nurse’s hand, her face etched with worry.

“Are my daughter and her baby going to be okay?”

The nurse led Lillie to a bench, gently explaining the surgery’s risks, and urged, “Please sign quickly. The surgery can’t wait.”

Lillie signed the form with trembling hands.

Now alone outside the surgery room, Lillie called Belen back.

With a calm but firm voice, she outlined the evidence against Lindsay, explaining how Lindsay had orchestrated a plot against Harlee at the engagement party, with Angela being a pawn in the grand scheme. She detailed the involvement of drugs and accomplices.

“Mrs. Morgan, if you still refuse to believe that your daughter harmed Angela, I am prepared to present all the evidence at a press conference.”

But what mother wouldn’t trust her own daughter? Even though Lillie recounted every detail of the story with precision, Belen was certain her daughter wasn’t capable of such a terrible act.

Lindsay had always been the picture of obedience, never once rebelling, not even during her teenage years. When Lillie threatened to go public with a press conference, Belen calmly responded, “Do what you think is necessary.”

Belen then hung up the phone, leaving no room for further discussion.

“Hello? Hey! Are you still there?” Frustrated by the unresponsive mechanical voice on the line, Lillie flung her phone aside and slumped to the floor outside the operating room.

Her eyes, reddened and haunted, fixed on the void.

In a burst of anger, she retrieved her phone and dialed a number she hadn’t used in years—her former lover. Thinking about Rolland’s coldness, Lillie felt justified in neglecting their marriage.

When her former lover answered, her tone was unexpectedly gentle as she said, “Our daughter is being bullied…”

At the same time, Belen stormed into the ward, venting her frustrations to Wilton.

Wilton’s expression darkened as he hissed, “The Hilton family lacks any decency! They used trickery to steal Lindsay’s fiancé, and now they’re trying to pin everything on her, even fabricating evidence!”

Belen nodded vehemently.

“You’re right! I’m glad Lindsay’s still under anesthesia. She would be devastated to hear this.

Despite Lindsay’s willingness to let things slide, they keep provoking her…”

“Perhaps we should take this conversation outside. It would be terrible if Lindsay overhears,” Wilton suggested.

Wilton gently took Belen by the hand, and they both exited the ward.

On the bed, Lindsay’s chest heaved with anger, her shoulders trembling. She had woken up when Belen entered and complained to Wilton. Upon hearing Lillie’s name, she kept her eyes shut, feigning unconsciousness.

Upon learning of the Hilton family’s betrayal, Lindsay clenched the fabric of her gown, pretending to still be under the effects of anesthesia. Only when her parents left did she allow her anger to surface.
