Chapter <b>254 </b>
After much persuasion and pleasing from Maxwell, Lily finally allowed Poppy and Bobby toe.
Poppy had been crying every day, causing her eyes to be so swollen that they were narrow slits. She desperately wanted to apany Belinda on <b>her </b>final journey.
“Alright,” Lily wmured, her head bowed and her voice devoid of warmth.
The cemetery was chosen by Stefan and Mnie personally. It was located in a prime area and was well–constructed. To prevent desecration or disturbances to Belinda’s grave, Stefan added an extrayer of protection.
It was already noon by the time everything was settled.
Poppy stood behind Lily, her heart aching as she looked at Lily’s trail and solitary figure. 1.ily always masked her vulnerability, presenting a fa?ade of strength.
Belinda was such a kind
person. Why diditate always seem to be so cruel to ber?
Shifting her gaze to Loid, a cold glint shed in Poppy’s eyes. She thought bitterly that he had failed to protect Lily. So, he didn’t deserve to be with her.
Stefan and Mnie were worried about Lily’s condition and took her back to Anmer Heights personally.
“Lily, Stefan and I will talk to your school and arrange for some time off. You should take <b>a </b>few days to rest. Let Loid take you on a trip in a few <b>days </b>to take your mind off things.
“It’s okay if you don’t pass the university entrance exams this year. You can repeat a year if you want to continue studying. But if you don’t want to study, that’s fine too. You should do whatever <b>makes </b>you happy.”
Mnie was worried that Lily might remain trapped in her grief, unable to move <b>on</b><b>. </b>She didn’t dare to bring up Belinda in the conversation as she knew how painful it was to Lily.
Mnie thought that the best way to help Lily was to encourage her to take a break.
Lily gave her a poised smile. Thanks<b>, </b>Mnie. But there’s no need to arrange a leave for me. I’ll go back to school <b>tomorrow</b>.”
“But.. <b>Are </b>you sure?” Mnie’s voice wavered with concern <b>as </b>she looked at Lily, worried about her emotional <b>state</b>.
“Grandma wanted me to <b>graduate</b>,” Lily replied softly. Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
Mnie paused for a moment and then nodded. “If that’s the case, then go back to school. But please<b>, </b>take care of yourself. “Alright.”
Mnie sensed that Lily wasn’t in the mood for further conversation, so she and Stefan took their leave.
Lily, needing to organize Belinda’s belongings, went upstairs
In the living room on the first floor, Shaun and Daniel sat across from Loid, their expressions somber..
<b>Shaun </b>nced toward the staircase leading to the second floor, his brows furrowing “Mr. Laurier, have you noticed that Lily has changed?”
Loud slightly raised <b>his </b>gaze. Leaning back on the couch, he held a cup in one hand, his expression <b>calm</b>. “Yeah, I have.”
“Madam Hutchinson’s death hit her hard. I have a feeling she’s going to do something big,” Shaun remarked as he rubbed his earlobe, his face heavy with concern
Loud’s eyes drifted toward the second floor. He was lost in thought for a moment.
Then, he looked back at Shaun and Daniel. “How’s the investigationing along?”
Daniel straightened up and responded, “It’s quite a challenge.”
“Hmm?” Loid’s eyes narrowed, his demeanor instantly changing.
Daniel shivered slightly and hurriedly <b>said</b>, “I’ve checked possible channels to the hospital and the Medical Research Institute, but there’s no trace at all. “The hospital’s surveince was malfunctioning that day, and there was only one person on duty at the pharmacy. He confirmed that no one entered the hospital that day.”
Taking a deep breath, he continued, “The special antidotes in the Medical Research Institute were taken by a mysterious figure. No one in the institute is saying anything about it, and there’s no record of the antidotes being taken. It’s like these people never existed…
“Moreover, the underground forces of the ten cities surrounding Lagersfield City attacked that night. All ten cities were taken over by someone, and this person’s identity is mysterious. After several days of investigation, all I found was ‘Mr. Ken. “”
After pausing for a moment, Daniel continued seriously, “It seems Ms. Brooks‘ identity has been exposed, and this ‘Mr. Ken‘ guy is targeting her.”
Lold squinted, <b>pondered </b>for a moment, and then stood up. “Deploy all our resources on the dark web and Infiltrate these ten <b>cities</b>. I need the most urate Intelligence. Also, monitor the movements of the Laurler, Knight, Levenson, and <b>Woodley </b>families. Let me know it something is going on.”
