Chapter 51 Rushing to the Battlefield
“No, of course not. But why didn’t you mention it before?” Willow nodded. She realized that now that sh
e and Caspian were married, his foster mother was basically her mother as well
now.
Currently, Caspian was rushing to the South Arinds battlefield. It was only natural for her to take car
e of her foster mother.
“My identity is special. As a b*dyguard to a general, I can’t give the enemy any leverage. In order to pro
tect my foster mother, I didn’t reveal her to anyone,” Caspian exined.
“That means she didn’t attend our wedding. Will she be upset?” Willow asked, feeling a bit
worried.
“Don’t worry, my foster mother is easygoing. I’ve already had Sylvia exin to her, and she will be here
ter,” Caspian said.
Willow nodded. She would definitely take good care of his foster mother when he was gone.
“While I’m away, please take care of yourself. I’m afraid I won’t be able to apany you for a while. I
really hope you can treat my foster mother well and ensure she enjoys a happy and fulfilling life.
“She single–
handedly raised me since I was young, and it hasn’t been easy. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance
to adequately repay her yet, but I must now rush to the frontlines,” Caspian exined.
“I understand. Don’t you worry. Now that we’re married, I’ll treat your
foster mother as if she were my own mother,” Willow said.
She didn’t want Caspian to have too many concerns, as it would surely affect his performance
on the battlefield.
“I’m not worried about you, it’s just that I’m afraid my mother–in–
“Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let any injustice befall your foster mother,” Willow said.
“Once my foster mother arrives, I will be ready to leave,” Caspian looked at Willow and said.
“You’re leaving like this on our wedding night?” Willow asked.
Caspian paused for a moment and asked, “Is there any other matter?”
“No… nothing!” Willow said, feeling a bit annoyed.
Was Caspian so oblivious? Didn’t he understand what she meant at this moment?
Caspian realized that he seemed to have missed something.
But at this moment, the time was tight, and he couldn’t really think about anything.
“I have to catch a flight to the South Arinds at midnight. We don’t have much time left. Let’s go out a
nd chat with the two elders for a while, or they’ll surely think we’re up to something,” Caspian suggeste
d.
“Sure,” Willow nodded.
“You’re out?” Kate and Carl approached when they saw Caspian and Willowing out.
“I’m leaving
now. I’m heading to the frontlines in South Arinds. While I’m away, I hope you both take good care of
Willow,” Caspian said.
“She is my daughter. Of course, I will take good care of her. I’m moving in with her tomorrow,
Kate eagerly said.

“Sounds good,” Caspian replied.
Just then, Sylvia brought Caspian’s foster mother, Lilith, to the vi.
A petite, modestly dressed middle–aged woman walked into the vi.
She was Caspian’s foster mother, Lilith. It was her first time in such a luxurious vi, and she
was stunned by it.
She didn’t know Caspian’s exact identity, only that he was
in the military. She’d never expected him to live in such avish vi.
“Mom, you’re here,” Caspian greeted with a smile.
“Caspian,” Lilith said, showing a relieved smile upon seeing Caspian.
“You can live here with Willow from now on. This is your daughter–in–
Kate and Carl were surprised to see Lilith. They always thought Caspian was an orphan, never expecti
ng him to have a foster mother.
However, upon seeing Lilith’s modest attire, Kate felt a bit disdainful toward her and didn’t initiate a gre
eting.
“I’m truly satisfied. You’re truly beautiful. You two are a perfect match.” Lilith nodded excitedly, grabbing
Willow’s hand.
It was the first time she had seen Willow.
“Mom,” Willow awkwardly called out.
However, she didn’t resist Lilith’s contact, as she found Lilith to be very approachable.
“Mom, I didn’t invite you to the wedding. I hope don’t mind,” Willow said.
“Why would I mind? I’m overjoyed that Caspian could marry such a beautiful bride like you. He has alre

“Let me introduce you. This is my mother, and this is my father,” Willow introduced her own parents to L

“Hello, nice to meet you,” Lilith reached out her hand.
“Hello, hello. Wee to our vi.” Kate forced a smile and shook hands with Lilith before quickly pullin

In her eyes, Lilith was just a country bumpkin whocked refinement.

“Going to

Caspian nodded and walked out of the vi with Lilith as he supported her movements.
As Caspian’s wife, Willow walked out as well.
At that moment, John, Sylvia, and some guards were waiting outside.
“Caspian, be careful on the frontlines,” Lilith said.
“Don’t worry, I wille back safely. Wait for me here,” Caspian said.
Caspian’s words filled Lilith’s heart with joy.
“Willow, when I’m not here, if anything happens, just hang in there until I return,” Caspian
instructed Willow.
“Okay, pleasee back safely. I’ll be waiting for you,” Willow said with reluctance.
“Don’t worry, it’s just an ordinary battle. I will be back unharmed. I have to go now,” Caspian said, then
prepared to leave.
Sylvia felt
apologetic. She said to Caspian, “Lord Caspian, I’m sorry for sending you tomand on our wedding
night.”
“It’s alright. The soldiers on the frontlines are bravely fighting the enemy. How can I indulge in pleasure

Caspian got into an off–road vehicle.
John and Sylvia followed.
The group gradually departed.
At this moment of parting, Willow realized how deeply she had fallen for Caspian. Tears

Lilith, too, couldn’t help but shed tears. The time they had together as mother and son was too

It was only when the off–

At the same time, Willow noticed Lilith was nowhere to be seen. “Where’s Madam Ziegler?”
“That unruly woman insisted on leaving after I scolded her briefly!” Kate eximed.
Her answer left Willow momentarily stunned. She had thought her mother was on good terms with Lilith.
“She’s as useless as Caspian! All I asked her to do was pour out the water in the
basin. Yet, she refused. I nagged at her a little, and she got upset,” Kate replied indifferently.
Willow was somewhat furious. “Mom, you’ve gone too far! Madam Ziegler is Caspian’s foster mother, aft

In an instant, Willow rushed out the door. She did not even stop for a second to put her bag

“What are you doing? Why are you going out at this hour?” asked Kate.
“I’m going to look for Madam Ziegler! If anything happens to her, I’ll never forgive you!” Willow responde
After that, she got into the Rolls–Royce and left the vi.
