Chapter 1021: Chapter 1024: Risking His Life for Lily (Extra 4) Chapter 1021: Chapter 1024: Risking His Life for Lily (Extra 4) “Lily would never be the woman who gives up on her husband and child and leaves on her own. I don't believe that my Lily is that kind of person. But the fact is, she did just that. So, there must be something we don't know about that led to this.”
“Right, you're right…” Emily Taylor came to her senses from her guilt and agitation.
Lily really wasn't that kind of child.
Before the incident, she had been so strong, even facing the pressure from within the family with her grandmother.
“So… I will bring her over tomorrow night, and you must find out the truth about what happened back then for me. She doesn't want to reveal her true identity to me, and I won't force her. But you can ask, you have to help me find out the real reason she left back then. Without knowing this, Lily will never be able to untie the knot in her heart.”
The man's cold eyes carried a resolute depth.
He knew what he was doing was 'playing with fire'.
He was risking his own life.
The departure of the woman had put another side of him into slumber.
If he never resolved the misunderstandings of the past, that other self would remain asleep forever.
But he hadn't told anyone that the other self wasn't dead, it was just sleeping within him.
Once the knot of the past was untied, he might wake up again.
He knew that continuing in this way might cause that other self to awaken.
But Aidan Lucas couldn't stop.
He could ignore anyone else in the world.
But he couldn't neglect his own woman.
He despised seeing the dim light in her eyes, and he disliked seeing her always burdened with heavy thoughts.
He understood that as long as the woman didn't reveal her identity to him and Ben Lucas, she would be immersed in the regret and frustration of the past.
Tonight's conversation with Emily had made him aware of the heavy burdens and guilt Lily was carrying on her own somewhere he didn't know.
Those burdens were too heavy.
It was a man's responsibility, not something a woman should carry on her own.
What Aidan Lucas had to do now was to have Emily find out the truth from Lily, to solve the crux of the problem.
Only by letting her completely let go, could she be freed from the shackles binding her heart.
“Ethan, rest assured… when I see Lily tomorrow night, I will treat her well. You're right, perhaps I have misunderstood her all this time. Such a good child, she shouldn't have done such a thing.”
At this moment, Emily already regretted it, but…
She looked at the son before her, her gaze flickering.
Emily suddenly also realized something.
If Lily could speak the truth about the past, if her departure back then was truly unavoidable,
then would the other son, sleeping within this body, come to know as well?
Aidan Lucas saw through Emily's thoughts in an instant.
He suddenly stood up, his gaze towards Emily Taylor dark enough to drip with water, “You don't need to worry too much, regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding in the past or not. Lily's leaving only highlighted his incompetence.”
“I won't let him come back. Back then, it was he who didn't protect his own woman. So now, it's my turn to protect her.”
After saying this, the man turned and left the mansion.
Emily Taylor was left alone, still stunned in place, pondering the words Aidan Lucas left behind before he walked away.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that a woman's soft crying echoed through the mansion.
Ethan… can you… can you really not come back?
*
The man left the Lucas family residence, driving back to the condominium.
However, when he opened the door to the condo, expecting to see the woman there to greet him, he was met with her absence.
Meanwhile, a plane landed on the helipad at B City airport.
Lily stepped out of the cabin, feeling much more timid than when she had left.
And another plane flying from Europe to Eastonia was also about to arrive in B City.
