Lights were on at Heightsnew Villa, guaranteeing the Taylors a sleepless night.
Winston treated his collections as treasures. But tonight, he was so furious that he had smashed
several million-dollar antique vases.
In an instant, countless porcelain pieces lay scattered on the floor.
His three wives stood stiffly before Winston. Lyla anxiously held Mandy's hand, and Colene was also
feeling uneasy.
"So ... you all knew ..." Winston trembled, letting the boiling rage surge through his veins. "You all knew
... but hid it from me for three whole years?"
"Winston, we kept it from you because we didn't want you upset."
Mandy tried to stay composed, speaking in a low voice. "You haven't been in good health these years.
Such shocking news could be unbearable for you."
"Haha ... Hahaha!" Winston's body swayed, and he pointed at them with a scornful laugh.
"Is your way of pleasing me to keep me in the dark for three whole years about Lyse and that
scumbag's marriage?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Her body has been ruined. Yet, you still kept it from me, her biological father? Is this what you mean
by 'for my own good'?"
"Winston, don't get it wrong. Mandy didn't mean that." With tears in her eyes, Lyla tried to defend
Mandy but was sternly interrupted by Winston.
"Haha ... Indeed, you're not her biological mother. How could you really care for Lyse? You act like a
happy family when I'm around, but it's all just an act, isn't it? She wasn't born from your womb. How
could you truly care for her?"
"Winston! How can you say that?"
Colene glared at Winston and wanted to stand in front of the other two ladies, but Mandy stopped her
in time.
"I've been with you for almost 20 years, and Mandy and Lyla have been part of the Taylor family for
even longer! If it's acting, it's fine for a year or two. Who can act for one or two decades?
"Lyse can't have children anymore. Do you think we don't feel sorry for her? When we found out about
this, it hurt us ten thousand times more than it hurt you!"
As Colene said that, tears streamed down her face. This shocked everyone, including Winston.
This tough lady had almost never shed a tear. Even when she risked her life by taking two bullets for
Winston years ago, she only bled but didn't cry.
Yet, at this moment, she was overwhelmed with sorrow and unable to hold back her tears. "When Lyse
had the miscarriage ... she was scared that you and the Beckett family would find out. She hid in a
small hospital in Solana City for a whole month to recover.
"During that month, the three of us took turns to accompany and take care of her. In order to cure her
illness, Mandy even returned to the Lovelace family. She knelt at the door, begging her grandfather to
treat Lyse."
Winston's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt his heart wrench.
He knew Mandy well. He knew that she had severed ties with the Lovelace family. She had always
been lofty and unworldly.
Yet, for Alyssa, she actually knelt before the Lovelaces. That required extraordinary courage. What she
felt at that time must be even more unbearable than if she had been killed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We knew that keeping it from you was wrong. But at that time, aside from helping Lyse hide it, we
didn't have a better solution."
Lyla couldn't hold back her tears, too. "Winston, what's the use of you getting angry now? Even if you
drive us all away, what Lyse has lost can't be recovered."
"Why can't it be recovered? I don't believe it!"
A roar shattered the heavy atmosphere.
Silas rushed in with red eyes full of anger and sorrow. Jonah followed closely behind, afraid that the
usually fierce Silas might do something extreme.
"I can resign. I'll quit my job! I'll take Lyse all around the world to find treatments!"
Silas' eyes were red and teary, filled with pain and unwillingness. "I don't believe with today's advanced
medical technology, we can't restore Lyse's body!"
"Silas, don't be impulsive!"
Jonah forcefully pressed down on Silas' trembling shoulder. "Being a prosecutor is your lifelong dream,
and you've worked so hard to get here. You can't just give up!"
"But Lyse ..."
"The ladies and I will find a way for Lyse. And Miley and Jeremy, too. They're people of status and have
connections abroad. Maybe they can find better doctors for Lyse than we can here."
