Rowan paused before getting out of the car. His foot, which was about to step out, was now pulled back
He tumed to look at Lily seriously. "50-50. Are you scared?
"No," Lily answered, but she couldn't help but tighten her grip on the seat.
Waiting was always agonizing. Even though her days were filled with caring for Hayden, eating, drinking, and
taking a walk, she still lost five or six pounds with no
work to do.
As Maryput it, "You've lost so much weight. Your eyes look bigger now."
She had long eyes, not round, and her once slightly round face had becsharper. People used to say she was
a beautiful woman with potential. Now, she had beca perfectly refined beauty.
"What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you tonight, but you can't stay at my place anymore."

Lily didn't care about her weight. She was focused on Hayden's condition. Since his illness, he had lost a lot of
weight, but after starting treatment with Rowan, he began eating and sleeping regularly, gaining sweight
back. Maryanne glanced at the couch where Hayden was sitting and persisted, "Can't | just sleep on the couch
for one night?"
"The couch is too small even for a child. Don't you mind? Lily laughed. "Isn't your big double bed comfortable?"
"But my bed doesn't have you," Maryanne said, eyeing Lily's small apartment, "Why don't you and Hayden move
in with me?"
Her suggestion becmore outrageous, and Lily just smiled without responding.
But that didn't stop her from continuing, "Hayden's illness isn't cured, Why did he get discharged? Is it because
there's no more money for treatment?
"If you tell me, I'll help you. If your parents don't care about you, | will. You can take care ofwhen I'm old, but
Hayden's illness can't be ignored"
"His treatment is ongoing," Lily interrupted her. "Dr. Blackwood visits every few days to treat him,"
Now, Maryanne's mind short-circuited. "Your
ou didn't... do you mean to say you're with the doctor now to get Hayden treated?"
Lily was speechless for a moment. "Can't there be a possibility that maybe I just met a good doctor?"
"Not likely." Maryanne almost directly said the chances were zero.
She had been in high society all her life, seeing all kinds of dirty dealings and people. Someone like Lily, pretty
and pushed to the edge by life, was the perfect opportunity for a man to take advantage of. Her expression
made Lily feel dirty.
Lily had to clarify things. "Terence introduced Dr. Blackwood. He's helping because of Terence's favor." She then
explained how Terence had introduced Rowan.
"Terence?"
Maryanne raised her voice. "When did he start doing good deeds behind my back?"
Her sixth sense as a woman told her that something was off. She sized Lily up briefly but couldn't find anything
suspicious.
Grabbing her bag, she stood up and left. "Forget it. Take good care of Hayden. | won't bother you anymore. But
remember, letknow if something happens, or we'll fall out."

"Got it," Lily said, standing up to see her out.
Maryanne Took the elevator down. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she called Terence.
He always answered her calls quickly. "Maryanne, what's up?"
"Was it you who found Hayden's attending doctor?" Maryanne wasted no time. "When did you start caring so
much about Lily's matters?"
He paused momentarily and calmly said, "I just helped introduce them. | didn't intentionally find someone for
them."
"I don't belleve it!" she said without hesitation. "Now that Hayden is out of the hospital because they ran out of
money for treatment, the doctor even went to Lily's house to treat him for free. Did you secretly pay for his
medical bills?"
He was unaware of Hayden's discharge. He had exchanged a favor to get Rowan to treat Hayden, but his
relationship with Rowan was limited to that. He would not do something like this just because of Terence.
He told the truth. "No. Maybe. Dr. Blackwood just thinks it's a shfor Hayden to give up on treatment.’ That
was the only reason he could think of, but even he didn't fully believe it.
