Chapter 1167: Chapter 1170: Ben Lucas spreads his arms and pounces towards the fake Lily Gray Chapter 1167: Chapter 1170: Ben Lucas spreads his arms and pounces towards the fake Lily Gray Ben seemed to hesitate for a moment, timidly looking towards his father.
Ethan Wilson watched coldly, becoming increasingly repulsed by the affected tone and expression Lily Gray used when speaking.
But seeing Ben looking towards him, seemingly seeking his approval, he still forced himself to nod impatiently.
“Yes, she is your mother.”
The unease on Ben's face instantly turned into small joy.
But apparently afraid that his father would be displeased, he timidly grasped his father's lapel and rested his small head against his father's chest, “But mother clearly went to a very far place and would never return, right? Dad, why has mother come back?”
Ethan Wilson frowned slightly, displeased with the explanation given to Ben by the second personality.
“Ben, it was all a misunderstanding. As mother just told you, she was rescued in the bombings and did not die. However, she suffered a head injury and lost her memory for the past three years, only regaining it recently. As soon as mother regained her memory, she came to look for you. Mother missed you and your… your father very much.”
Vivian Walters repeated the fabricated story once again.
But little did she know, she had already fallen into Ben's trap.
Ben had asked intentionally, to let the old man know that this woman was lying.
Sure enough, even though the present Ethan Wilson was the first personality with no memory, he immediately sensed something was wrong in Vivian Walters' words.
Outsiders were unaware, but he was acutely conscious that the real Lily Gray had left him four years ago.
The so-called 'bombings' from three years ago were merely a fabrication by the second personality to deal with Rodney Rhodes and to explain Mrs. Lucas's departure.
Ethan Wilson's inscrutable black pupils narrowed imperceptibly.
The Lily Gray before him looked at him with shy, hopeful eyes.
If it had been before, he would have embraced her without hesitation and cherished her dearly.
But at that moment, he felt that this woman had become even more of a stranger than he had imagined.
Four years ago, she was the one who chose to leave.
But now, when she reappeared, she had become a woman full of lies.
This made the little affection Ethan Wilson still held for Lily Gray in his heart start to fade.
“Ethan… I… I really had no choice… I lost all my memories and didn't even know who I was or where I came from. If it weren't for recently regaining my memory, I wouldn't have been able to see you all again.”
After saying this, Vivian Walters covered her mouth and began sobbing painfully.
She cried heartbreakingly, sounding utterly wronged, and eventually even crouched down, like a deeply aggrieved child.
These mournful cries quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
However, the woman who could once make Ethan Wilson feel heartache with just a single tear,
now, even though she cried heartbreakingly, could no longer touch his heart.
Ethan Wilson watched her coldly, his inscrutable eyes showing no sign of emotional disturbance.
“Dad, let go…” It was only then that Ben's anxious voice, soft and quiet, rose.
Ethan Wilson looked down and saw Ben in his arms, his face full of sympathy for the woman crying on the ground.
“I, I want mommy, mommy don't cry…”
Little Ben seemed terribly distressed over 'Lily Gray', busily waving his hands, trying to break free from Ethan Wilson's embrace.
The man was silent.
They were always mother and son, and even if she was no longer the woman of the past, he had no right to prevent their reunion.
With this thought, Ethan Wilson bent down and put Ben on the ground.
“Go ahead.”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Ben opened his arms and rushed towards Vivian Walters.
