    Aidan Lucas was surprisingly in a good mood and had the patience to appease her.


    “Good girl, sleep a bit more.”


    He gently patted her back, his strong arms hugging her tighter, “I wore you outst night, 1’11 wake you up when we get to M Country.”


    Lily Gray didn’t really want to listen to Aidan Lucas, but she was weak and drained, utterly incapable of arguing with him.


    Well, she was “his” for the rest of the year. If he didn’t mind carrying her and wasn’t tired, then let him carry her.


    Not overthinking anymore, Lily Gray found afortable position in the man’s arms. Her face rested against his chest while her hands clung to his slender waist. In no time, she had drifted off to sleep once again.


    Looking at the woman soundly asleep in his arms, a hidden glimmer flickered through Aidan Lucas’s deep-dark gaze.

    Upon reaching M Country, Lily Gray thought Aidan Lucas would keep her by his side. Instead, he promptly admitted her into a hospital.


    “I’ll be in M Country for about a week. Take this opportunity to have your vision corrected. Mrs. Lucas needs to maintain an elegant and charming appearance.


    1 don’t like you wearing sses, they’re too ugly.”


    Alright then, he was the “client,” what he said goes.


    This was a matter Lily Gray was willing toply with. She admitted herself to the hospital without any objections. The vision correction surgery was straightforward and finished in just ten minutes.


    However, due to the post-surgery requirement of wearing sunsses and avoiding bright light, and with Aidan Lucas busied with his own matters, she chose to stay in the hospital for her recovery.


    Staying alone in the hospital was morefortable than being with Aidan Lucas. Lily Gray had no objections and readily settled in.


    While she was recuperatingfortably in the hospital, two women back in A City, who were waiting for her at thewyer’s office to sign some papers, were about to lose their patience.


    “Mother, where has that useless wretch gone? Did she have a change of heart and decided not toe?” A stunning middle-aged woman in exquisite attire sat next to Madam Gray. She was Lily Gray’s aunt, Rowena Gray.


    “Impossible, that wretch has always been timid. When has she ever dared to defy me? Besides, we have her identification, and her cell phone. The Lucas family has already ruined her reputation, if she doesn’t obedientlye back to us, where else can she go?!”


    Sonya Hamilton, also known as Lily Gray’s maternal grandmother, practically made no effort to hide her disgust and contempt whenever she mentioned Lily Gray.


    “Mother, waiting like this isn’t a solution… We’ve been waiting for hours and there’s not even a trace of her. Look, we have her identification and seal. What if we…?”


    Rowena didn’t finish her sentence, but from just a nce they exchanged, the mother and daughter understood each other’s intentions.


    Conveniently, it was about time they reced the family’swyer. Theodore, the currentwyer, had always been partial to Lily and her mother. Keeping him could be troublesome in the future.


    So, Madam Gray and her daughter Rowena forged a contract asserting Lily’s agreement to transfer her shares. Afterwards, they found a way to get it approved and sessfully transferred all of Lily’s shares to their names.


    The news about Lily Gray being kicked out of the Lucas family for her misconduct had long been spread in the upper-ss circles of A City.


    When they heard about Lily transferring her shares to her grandmother and aunt, people didn’t overthink. They simply assumed that Lily, knowing the damage to her reputation, had made that decision to avoid causing thepany’s stock to plummet.


    At a certain banquet within the upper-ss circle, a group of nobledies were chatting, and one of them brought up this matter, turning it into a topic of casual conversation.


    The nobledy seated in the center of the group twitched at the mention of “Lily Gray”.


    “You all continue, 1 have some private affairs to attend to at home, 1’11 be leaving first.” The elegantly poised, nobly dresseddy stood to leave. The other nobledies immediately stopped their conversation, fawning over her as they escorted her out of the banquet hall.


    Once the nobledy got into her car, the smile on her lips slowly faded.


    Picking up her phone, the nobledy sounded impatient: “Ellie, the woman you mentionedst time, is her name Lily Gray?”
