Chapter 67

Lily entered a VIP ward in Lagersfield City Hospital with Lold, Shaun, and Daniel following closely behind.

Yannick and his son, Jack, had been waiting in the hospital ward for quite some time.

As Lily entered the ward, Yannick rushed forward to greet her, “Ms. Brooks.”

He caught sight of Loid next to Lily and hesitantly called out, “Mr. Laurier?”

He had met Loid before, but he was puzzled as to why Loid was accompanying Lily.

Not long ago, the news of Loid’s engagement spread like wildfire in Bridgeport. As one of the leading prestigious families in Bridgeport, the Dalton family was certainly aware of

the news.

However, it was rumored that Loid was engaged to the daughter of the Martinez family, so why was he with Lily? How were they related?

“Hello, Mr. Dalton, Loid nodded at Yannick and greeted him courteously.

Yannick returned the greeting, saying, “Hello, Mr. Laurier ”

The Laurier and Dalton families weren’t particularly close, so their interactions were typically limited to polite exchanges.

Yannick turned to Lily and said respectfully, “Ms. Brooks, thank you for taking the time to treat Jack I really appreciate it.”

Lily glanced at Yannick, then walked over to Jack with a cold expression. She retrieved a silver needle from her pouch and inserted it into an acupuncture point on Jack’s thigh. After a short while, she removed the silver needle from the acupuncture point and declared, “It’s done.”

Lily casually stached the silver needle into the pouch

“That’s all?” Shaun stared at Lily in disbelief.

Wasn’t she supposed to be treating Jack’s leg? Why did the treatment end so quickly?

Shaun vividly remembered Loid’s last treatment session, during which ly inserted over goneedles into various acupuncture points on Loid’s body. That was only part of the

treatment process.

Lily had inserted just one needle into Jack’s leg just now, yet she claimed that Jack’s leg had been cured. “Is this supposed to be a joke?” Shaun thought to himself skeptically. Jack was also skeptical of Lily’s claim. He had visited many renowned doctors since Lilybroke his leg, but none could cure his leg. He felt it was unlikely that she could heal him just by sticking a needle into his leg.

On the other hand, Loid and Yannick looked calm, as if they had already anticipated the outcome.

Lily put away the silver needle and told Jack, “You can try getting out of bed now.”

Jack was skeptical, so he got out of bed immediately to verify Lily’s words. The moment he set foot on the floor, he was dumbfounded. He could actually stand up, and his leg wasn’t hurting anymore.

He looked up at Lily with a gaze filled with admiration.)

Without delay, he dropped to his knees and said solemnly, “Ms. Brooks, I take full responsibility for what happened previously. It was my fault. I promise to follow your orders faithfully from now on.”

It finally dawned on jack what his father’s words meant. Lily Brooks was indeed capable of making or breaking the Dalton family.

“I’m not interested in that,” Lily said with a subdued mood, her expression remaining tense.

She approached Enid and softly told him, “Let’s go.”

Having walked a few steps, Uly turned around and reminded Yannick, “Don’t forget to send the money.”

Yannick lowered his head slightly and replied, “The ten billion dollars has been wired to your account as of noon.”

Lily nodded and left without saying anything else.

After leaving the hospital, the group of four went out for dinines together.

The car was surprisingly quiet during the journey to the restaurant. Shaun was usually a talkative person. However, he noticed Lily’s low spirits and refrained from speaking. When they arrived at the restaurant, Uly exited the car first while Loid remained seated inside the car. He looked at her through the window. Her trail and solitary figureelicited a deep sense of pity in him.

Loid withdrew his gaze and said with a chilling voice, “Daniel, go find out what happened at Ember Creek High School today.”

“Okay, got it.”

Lily barely touched her food before she started drinking non–stop.

She remained silent, but the air she gave oft made her seem so unapproachable that it intimidated Shaun and Daniel.

Shan leaned close to Loid and asked softly, “Loid, did you upset Lily? She seems pretty intimidating right now I don’t even dare to speak loudly because I’m afraid I might apenmote her”
