    Chapter 23


    Lily''s tolerance toward the Martinez family stemmed from their connection to Jason Martinez. However, this didn''t mean she would endure their behavior indefinitely.


    Her grandmother was the one person she wouldn''t tolerate anyone messing with. If anyone dared toy a finger on her, she would make them regret ever being born no matter who they were!


    Upstairs, Mnie insisted that Loid take off his clothes for inspection.


    To her astonishment, she discovered that all the lumps on his body were gone. She was speechless.


    Mnie''s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Loid. "W-What''s going on here? Who''s the famous doctor who cured you?"


    Loid dressed slowly, ncing at Mnie with a hint of a smile as he said, "Your future daughter-inw."


    "Lily?" Mnie eximed with a voice filled with disbelief. "That''s impossible!"


    Lily was just a 19-year-old youngdy who hadn''t even graduated from college. How could she possibly cure Loid''s illness?


    Moreover, it wasn''t an ordinary illness-it was poisoning.


    Countless renowned doctors had failed to find an antidote, so how could a young girl like Lily figure it out?


    After realizing that Loid wasn''t joking, Mnie took a deep breath. Her brows furrowed in contemtion. "Isn''t this little girl just a simple country bumpkin?"


    "No," Loid replied. He hadn''t made any particr effort to investigate Lily. His knowledge of Lily was mostly based on the information Daniel had gathered upon discovering that the Martinez family intended to arrange her marriage with Loid. However, the details he had were only superficial.


    Lily''s identity had been carefully concealed by someone with impressive skills.


    Even with Daniel''s abilities, it seemed impossible for him to have missed the fact that Lily was Shadowbane''s apprentice.


    While Lily''s background needed further investigation, Loid refrained from asking Daniel to look into it.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    He wasn''t interested in prying into certain aspects of her life. Despite her hostility, there wasn''t any malice behind it, so he believed there was no need for him to investigate. Mnie''s expression turned serious. "Then why did she save you? Was it premeditated?"


    "I don''t know," Loid said as he raised his eyes to look at Mnie. "I thought you really liked her."


    "Yes, I do," Mnie admitted her fondness for Lily without hesitation. "She''s genuine and unpretentious. I''m very pleased with her."


    In Mnie''s social circle, everyone seemed eager to please her. It was rare to find someone who could disregard her status and engage in genuine conversation.


    However, Lily was different. Since her arrival, Lily had disyed no effort to please Mnie and consistently maintained a calm demeanor. Despite her polite tone, Mnie sensed an underlying impatience in Lily.


    As Lily''s future mother-inw, Mnie was immediately drawn to Lily''s straightforwardness andck of pretense. Mnie concluded from this alone that Lily did not behave like those wealthy young women who were always scheming to please others for personal gain.


    "While I adore her, I can''t help but worry if you''ve somehow offended her and she''se seeking revenge."


    Mnie was not one to overlook things. Despite her fondness for Lily, her son''s well-being remained her top priority.


    Mnie had unwavering confidence in Loid''s captivating looks. She knew that most women couldn''t resist his charm. To Mnie''s surprise, Lily proved to be an exception.


    From the moment Lily arrived, Mnie noticed she hadn''t nced at Loid once. Shannon, on the other hand, couldn''t resist ncing at him every now and then.


    Loid narrowed his eyes and said, "It''s possible."


    "What should we do now?" Mnie panicked.


    "She''s my fiancée." Loid smirked.


    Upon hearing this, Mnie chuckled. "Well yed."


    A fiancée could eventually be a legal wife.
