Chapter 37
A dull ache spread in Lily's forehead, and warm blood streamed down her face. She only saw red when she
opened her eyes. Black smoke billowed from the front of her car, and she couldn't help but think about online
videos of cars exploding after an accident. Was she going to die there today? But how could she die when
Hayden still wasn't free? With Xavier's temper in mind, Lily wasn't confident whether Xavier would continue the
lawsuit in Hayden's defense if she were dead.
That was her only motivation to survive. So, she unfastened her seatbelt, opened the door, and crawled out of
the car.
Two hours later, Lily was awoken by someone shouting at her. Her eyes peeled open to see a blinding white light
shining onto her.
"Thank goodness, you're finally away, Miss!" A doctor in a white coat sighed in relief. "How are you feeling?"
The intense smell of disinfectant stung Lily's nostrils. She gradually snapped back to reality and recalled what
had happened. When she raised a hand to touch her forehead, an unbearable pang of pain struck her senses.
"Don't move. You have a slight concussion and require proper rest to recover. We've already tried contacting
your family, but they didn't answer. Do you have any other family members?" said the doctor. He brought Lily's
phone over and unlocked it with Lily's fingerprint.
The call history page showed the doctor had made around eight phone calls to Xavier. However, Xavier never
answered.
Lily had saved Xavier's contact nas "Husband." She didn't save Bobby's or Hazel's phone numbers. Because
of that, the doctor couldn't find anyone else who seemed like they would be her family.
"..." Lily's voice was hoarse when she tried to speak. She knew nothing would change even if she called now.
After all, Xavier hadn't answered the previous eight calls. There was no telling if Xavier and Sarah were already
asleep at this hour.

sign the consent form. Only then can we perform further health checks to see if you have internal bleeding in
your head."
Lily wasn't entirely conscious and couldn't sign the consent form herself. She had no choice but to click on
Maryanne's phone number. "You can call her."
The doctor did so at once.
Maryanne rushed into Silverstone Hospital's emergency room in less than 30 minutes. Her long, red hair was
messy like she had no tto brush it. She nearly cried after seeing Lily, whose face was half-covered in blood.
"What happened to you?" asked Maryanne.
Lily had shut her eyes to rest while waiting for Maryanne to arrive. She awoke now. She felt more awake and
aware than before.
She shook her head to soothe Maryanne. "It was a car accident, but it didn't kill me. Don't worry."
"Where's Xavier? Why were you alone when it's already so late?" Maryanne knew Lily had to accompany Xavier
to Fulton Manor for dinner every Saturday.
She could tell Lily had likely gotten into the accident on the drive hfrom Fulton Manor. That said, she didn't
understand why Xavier wasn't with Lily.
That was when a weary Terence appeared from behind Maryanne. "Maryanne, keep her company and comfort
her. I'm going to talk with the doctor."
His dark gaze settled on Lily as he told her, "Let's get you checked up. We'll discuss any further actions after
they examine you."

Lily completed her in-depth check-up an hour later. Nothing was wrong apart from a slight concussion and a less-
