She was sure he would be captivated by her charm.

Lillie was always confident, never doubting herself.

Joselyn was at a loss. "Lillie, Mr. Harris is that Miss Lilah's boyfriend. It's not appropriate for him to visit you frequently."

For some reason, Joselyn's mind flashed to Lilah's aloof, confident gaze.

Was it possible that what she had done had already disappointed Lilah and Miranda?

"Mom, what do you mean?" Lillie was stunned, staring blankly at Joselyn. "Didn't you say that no matter who was around Mr.

Harris, you'd help me win him over? Didn't you also admire him and want him as your son-in-law?"

Joselyn's brow furrowed even tighter.

What was she saying?

"Enough, stop talking. Find someone else. He's not suitable for you." It was the first time she spoke to Lillie with such a stern tone.

Lillie was shocked, stunned into silence, a hint of disappointment crossing her eyes.

"Mom, if you won't help me, I'll go find him myself." Despite wearing a loose blue and white hospital gown, Lillie's slender frame exuded a certain allure.

With that, she got up and headed out.

Meanwhile, Lilah was discussing with Gerard their plans to return home with Miranda. They had been away too long, and things were getting chaotic back home.

“What about Aunt Joselyn? She clearly doesn't want to know about her past or acknowledge us. Her heart is with Lillie, " Lilah said quietly. "You might not believe it, " Lilah continued, “but sometimes Miranda and I envy that child. She receives all of Ms. Joselyn's love, while Miranda and I, her biological children, do not."

"Mr. Harris." At this moment, Lillie emerged from the hospital room. "Mr. Harris, I have something I want to say to you."

Lilah watched the young woman in her early twenties, her vibrant face stirring a complex emotion within her.

"I have nothing to say to you, Gerard replied coldly, displeased." Stay away from me."

Lillie was taken aback. "Is it because of this woman? She's already past her prime, while I'm in my prime. Mr. Harris, I don't believe you don't like me. I... " "Enough!" Gerard was already impatient." Do you know why I acted the way I did? It's because your unreasonable behavior is annoying."

With that, he took Lilah's hand and left.

Lillie's hopeful expression turned to disappointment in an instant.

She was truly at a loss. All her life, she had grown up as the apple of everyone's eye, never having faced any setbacks, and she had always heartlessly rejected the boys who pursued her.

This was the first time she had ever liked someone so much, yet how could he treat her this way?

Was it all because of that woman, Lilah?
