Chapter 454

Eliana gave Lucia a reassuring look and decisively pushed the two packages away.

Then she turned to Lilian and asked, “Excuse me, how old are you? Why do you need someone to

send packages for you? Can’t you do it yourself?”

Lilian was so annoyed at Eliana’s intervention.

She knew she couldn’t order Eliana to do things for her. But couldn’t she order an intern?

“Eliana, what are you so anxious about? Did I tell you to do it?”

But Eliana remained firm. She said, “As I’ve said, Lucia is a designer, not your sidekick. So send your

packages yourself.”

“Eliana!” Lilian snapped through clenched teeth. “Are you deliberately going against me?” Her face

flushed with anger.

“Yes, I am a busybody today.”

Then Eliana glared at Lilian, indicating that Lilian should leave now.

Lilian was too angry to say a word. She had no choice but to take back the two packages and leave

angrily.

When Lilian was gone, Lucia said timidly, “Eliana, you didn’t have to stand against her because of me.

It’s just two packages. I can…”

“Lucia, do you even hear yourself right now? What nonsense are you talking about?” Eliana poked

Lucia’s forehead. “Don’t indulge Lilian. It will only make her worse. From now on, stop doing chores for

her. Don’t be as stupid as I was before.”

Lucia was confused, but she still nodded.

She came to the Moran Group just to experience life. She didn’t have much work pressure, so she

didn’t feel she had suffered losses. But still, it felt good to be protected by others.

Eliana and Lucia were so busy that they forgot the time. It was already very late when they got off work.

They parted ways at the gate of the company.

When Lucia got home, the words she heard in the restaurant today still kept ringing in her head.

If her guess was right, then Dora, her aunt, was responsible for his cousin Wyatt and Nicole’s breakup.

Nicole must have had her own difficulties back then.

Should she tell Wyatt about it?

After contemplating for a while, Lucia decided to tell Wyatt what she had overheard.

So she picked up her phone and dialed his number.

“Hello, Lucia! Why do you call?”

Lucia heard Wyatt’s magnetic voice from the other end of the line.

She took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Wyatt, I have something to tell you. I thought about it

carefully, and I feel the need to tell you.”

Eliana had just arrived home too. She had no idea that Lucia had already told Wyatt what had

happened today.

Aileen was absent from school because of her allergy. And at this time, Nana had already picked

Adrian up from kindergarten.

When Aileen saw that Adrian was back, she couldn’t wait to run over with her short legs.

“Adrian! How is Silas? He looked so sad when he left the night before.”

Adrian put away his schoolbag, looked into Aileen’s big eyes, and sighed, “Actually, I don’t know. Silas

was absent today. I heard from our teacher that… He is sick.”

“Silas is sick?” Aileen’s eyes widened in surprise. She asked anxiously, “How did he get sick? Does he

also have an allergy like me?”

“You little fool. How can that be possible?”

Adrian flicked Aileen’s head amusingly.

While the two siblings were talking, Eliana had been standing not far away. She was stunned when she

heard Adrian’s words.

Was Silas really sick?

She couldn’t help wondering if it was because she treated him so badly that night.

At the thought of this, Eliana couldn’t help feeling guilty.

She walked towards them and squatted down. Then she held Aileen’s hand and said seriously, “Aileen,

I want to ask you a question. You must tell me the truth, okay?”

Aileen and Adrian exchanged glances. Aileen was a little flustered. “Go ahead, Mommy.”

“Did you and Silas really saved an old man yesterday? That was why you were not able to answer my

call, right?”
