Chapter 96


    Every time Lily was with Mnie<b>, </b><b>she </b>felt rxed and at home.


    Mnie held Lily by the hand, saying, “Come on in! She treated Lily like her own daughter<b>, </b>seemingly forgetting about her son.


    Loid was speechless and amused at the sight.


    Lily spotted a man in the living room. She greeted him politely, “Hi, Stefan.”


    She recognized him from the files as Lold’s father, Stefan.


    Stefan Laurier <b>nodded </b>warmly at her. “Take a seat and rx. Make yourself at home.”


    She grunted and joined him <b>on </b>the couch while Mnie went to the kitchen to make hunch. Stefan ced the newspaper on the coffee table and shot Loid an astonished <b>look </b>He heard from Mnie that their future daughter–inw was in charge of Loid’s medical treatments, but he had some lingering concerns before seeing Loid in person.


    Now that he confirmed that Loid was doing well, he felt more reassured. He turned to Lily, asking, “I heard you go to Ember Creek How is it so far? Is it stressful?” “It’s alright,” she replied curtly with a humble and calm attitude.


    Stefan nodded in satisfaction and poured her a ss of water. “I heard from Mnie that you’re treating Loid’s illness. Sorry for the trouble. Juste to me if you need any help.” “No trouble at all. He paid me,” Lily answered, looking up at Stefan.


    He smiled. “Well, I’ll thank you on Loid’s behal


    He finally understood the reason Mnie praised Lily to the heavens. The girl was indeed a unique personality.


    “Lunch is ready,” Mnie announced.


    Lold led Lily to the dining table. Mnie, afterying out the final dish, settled beside Lily. She cut a slice of steak and ced it on Lily’s te. “Give it a taste.” Then, she stared at Lily nervously


    Lily book a bite of the steak andmented, “It’s delicious.”


    <b>Looking </b><b>visibly </b>relieved, Mnie piled more food onto Lily’s te. She urged, “Join us for lunch the next time. You’re too thin, and you need more protein. I’ll keep you well–fed.” Lily had nothing to say to that. Mnie only had eyes on <b>Lily</b>, smiling all the time and ignoring the presence of her husband and son. Stefan and Loid could onlyment the special treatment orded to the Lauriers future daughter–inw.


    After the pleasant lunch, Mnie had a chat with Lily as Stefan and Lold looked on in silence


    Soon, Mnie noticed Lily’s low mood. She inquired, “Did something happen to you <b>at </b>school?”


    “No,” Loy answered in a faint, disinterested voice.


    Mnie pur on <b>a </b>stem look. “You don’t look fine. You seem upset. Let me know if anything has happened to you. If you’re bullied at school, T’ll go teach those rascals a lesson!” That elicited a chuckle from Lily. “I’m really fine. <b>I’m </b>just bothered by the parent–teacher conference. As you know, my grandma is still in the hospital.”


    Mnie’s chest tightened. She was aware of Lilly’s background. She was abandoned at a young age and raised by her grandma.


    Now, Belinda was hospitalized. As for Susan, Mnie snorted, thinking, “Iber Susan will only attend <b>the </b>conference <b>for </b>Shannon! Poor Lily


    After ging it some thought, she patted the back of Lily’s <b>hand</b>. “It’s not a big deal. I’ll attend as your parent.”


    Lily looked at Mnie with an arched brow. “You<b>?</b><b>”</b>
