Chapter 1079
Lillian was so important to her that Jonathan often couldn’t help but feel jealous.
“Thank you, Jon!” Rosalie expressed her gratitude sincerely. She knew that when he was
fighting against the Woolbright family, he had risked everything for her, even putting the
entire Youngblood family at stake.
“Rosalie, there’s no need for us to ever thank each other like this,” Jonathan muttered in a
low voice.
For him, as long as Rosalie desired something, he would do everything possible to fulfill it
for her.
At this moment, on the other end, Warren brought Amelia to the entrance of the
concession stand. Amelia unbuckled her seatbelt but did not immediately get out of the
car. Instead, she turned to look at Warren and said, “Thank you for being willing to step
forward and help today.” She was referring to the time when Jonathan faced a threat from
the Woolbright family, and Warren helped by using the York family as leverage.
“Even if I didn’t step up today, that little boy would still have saved Lillian in the end,”
Warren said.
That child was most concerned about Yasmin, so everything else was secondary. As long
as she cried in the end, he would have saved Lillian.
Amelia said, “Regardless, thank you.” She was about to get out of the car after she
finished speaking.
“Amelia, now that it has come to this point, do you still want to take the risk and have this
child?” They were both well aware of what Lillian had gone through over the past few
days.
“You heard what the child said, too. Lillian had a difficult labor because someone meddled
with her. If we are more careful, I believe we can avoid it. I don’t want to give up on this
child so easily,” Amelia replied and got out of the car.
Warren was taken aback. Just now, she used the word “we” as if she finally included them

It was just a word, but it brought an uncontrollable sense of joy to his heart.

He wondered, “Could this possibly indicate that her attitude toward me has softened
slightly? As long as it goes on like this day by day… Someday, she will gradually come to
believe in me and my love for her! Perhaps, one day, she will be willing to return to my
side.”
Even if that day seemed so distant and out of reach for him, he still hoped for it fervently.
Inside the ward, silence fell once again. Callum stood by the bedside, gazing blankly at the
figure lying on the bed.
She was the person Callum loved the most, yet he could only watch her fall into such a
deep sleep time and time again, unable to do anything.
Callum was in such a situation back then, and he never imagined that it would still be the
same after so many years.
“Lillian? You will wake up for real this time, won’t you?” Callum murmured softly. Using
both hands, he tightly gripped her right hand, which lay limp by the side of the bed.
It was as if the warmth and touch of her hand gave him the strength and courage to
patiently wait for Lillian to awaken.
Before this, Lillian had only been awake for half an hour.
Callum was terrified that she would only be awake for a brief momen just like in the
delivery room, before slipping into an endless slumber
At this moment, every minute and every second was agonizing for hin
Callum’s eyes were fixated on the person lying on the hospital bed, unwilling to miss even
the slightest movement from her. He deeply feared that he may have missed any subtle
changes from her and that they would have gone unnoticed.
After a long time, when the sky outside the window began to brighten, Lillian finally
opened her eyes once again.
Callum’s whole body stiffened, and he stared at her open eyes in disbelief. Then, two
streams of hot tears flowed down his cheeks immediately.
“What’s wrong? I… I just slept for a little while. Why are you crying?” Lillian murmured,
attempting to raise her hand to wipe away the tears from Callum’s face. However, she
realized that her arm was still incredibly sore, and she didn’t have the strength to lift it up.

Callum pressed Lillian’s hand against his cheek, murmuring, “Okay, I won’t cry. I won’t
cry!” He struggled to hold back his tears, kissing her hand from the fingertips to the palm.
“Where is Rosalie? Did they go back?” she asked, her voice sounding strained.
“Yes. Yesterday, they were busy sorting out your affairs until late. I asked them to go back
first. When morning comes, they’ll probably come to the hospital to see you again.
They’ve been coming to the hospital to see you every day lately,” Callum replied.
“These days?” Lillian suddenly felt as though time had passed quite differently than she
had thought. She asked again, “How long have I been asleep?”
“You’ve been asleep for 13 days,” Callum replied. He had counted every passing minute
and second during this time.
Lillian felt a wave of astonishment. She felt as if she had just given birth not long ago, and
yet, to her surprise, 13 days had already passed.
“By the way, where is the baby?” She suddenly realized that the baby was still in the ward
when she woke up earlier. However, at this time, the baby was nowhere to be seen in the
room.
“The nurse has taken the baby to another room for now as we fe might disturb you here.
Once morning comes, I’ll ask them to b baby back here,” Callum explained.
Only then did Lillian finally feel relieved. “These 13 days… You mu had a hard time,” she
said, looking at Callum’s current appearance. S could almost guess how he had endured

these past 13 days.
“Now that you’re awake, everything is fine.” Callum murmured, “Lillian, was really scared
of losing you.”
“Silly, I won’t let you marry another woman and have our daughter call someone else
‘mom’! Even if I were unconscious, I would make every effort to wake up! You’re so
handsome. How could I bear to leave you?” she teased.
Upon hearing her words, a smile formed at the corner of Callum’s lips. Lillian never failed
to make him relax.

well, and take care of your appearance. If your health deteriorates and I wake up to find
you in a sorry state, you have no idea how frustrated I would be,” added Lillian, still
nagging at him.
“Okay, okay. I will freshen up properly. I promise to eat well and get enough sleep!” Callum
hurriedly said.
She looked at the noticeable dark circles under his eyes. “How about you go to sleep
now?”
“Now?” Callum was stunned.
“Yeah, now. After all, this bed is spacious enough for both of us. You can lie down here and
sleep for a while. It’s been so long since I slept next to my husband…” Lillian murmured.
Callum hesitated and said, “But I’m afraid I might squish you.”
“No, it’s fine. You usually sleep in a good position and don’t move around much,” replied
Lillian reassuringly. It was actually her who tended to toss and turn. She often rested her
hands or feet on him. Sometimes, she would even kick him as she kicked away the
blankets.
He continued to hesitate. “But, I haven’t showered for several days, and I feel… dirty.”
“I don’t mind!” said Lillian. No matter how dirty you are in this
