Chapter 480:

He had anticipated her response, yet the confirmation stirred a deep sense of indebtedness.

As Wilton thought about his wife’s fleeting suggestion, a cautious smile flickered across his lips.

“Harlee, I appreciate your sensitivity to our situation.

As for Lindsay’s actions, we are deeply regretful… We will address Lindsay’s wrongdoings. Once she’s out of the hospital, we’ll ensure she apologizes to you personally.

At that point, please don’t hesitate to voice any specific requests.

Belen and I hold you in high regard. Just earlier, she half-jokingly expressed wanting to appoint you as our goddaughter, though she worried that you might…”

Harlee withheld a definitive answer about becoming Wilton and Belen’s goddaughter, merely shifting her gaze downward as she responded, “I have no particular reservations.”

At the thought of Lindsay, Harlee spoke with a gentler tone.

“Perhaps it would be wise to consult Lindsay on this matter first.”

The thought of unrestricted access to an extensive library of archaeological texts after becoming Wilton and Belen’s goddaughter piqued Harlee’s interest. To Harlee, taking on the title of goddaughter was merely a formal shift in addressing someone, a small price for such a rich reward.

Wilton picked up on the nuance in Harlee’s cautious words.

Essentially, although Harlee did not object to their proposal, the crucial aspect was to convince Lindsay and curb her previous recklessness.

As Wilton shared a glance with Belen, who had just joined them from upstairs, they each expressed their commitment.

“Harlee, let us assure you, going forward, we will keep a firm hand with Lindsay. She won’t revert to her old ways,” Wilton declared confidently.

“Indeed, the past is behind us, but we will take every step to properly guide her hereafter,” Belen chimed in.

Their earnest promises resonated deeply with Harlee. Seeing in them a reflection of the nurturing affection her own parents had bestowed upon her, she wholeheartedly embraced the role of their goddaughter, driven not by the lure of the books, but by a genuine bond.

With Lonnie’s and Skyla’s feelings weighing heavily on their minds, Wilton and Belen set aside a suitable day to have a formal conversation about this.

Meanwhile, Lindsay, nestled comfortably in her hospital bed, stayed entirely oblivious to her parents having uncovered her true nature and the looming arrival of a god-sister.

In the sterile serenity of the private hospital suite, a senior nurse efficiently set up a small table across the bed, gently placing a laptop on it and flipping it open.

“Miss Morgan, the laptop is ready for you,” she said, her voice carrying a professional warmth.

“Do you need anything else?”

Lindsay gestured dismissively with a wave of her hand, prompting the nurse to exit the room quietly. Once alone, Lindsay navigated to a notorious forum known for its devious tips on framing innocent people.
