Chapter 1239: Chapter 1242: Tania Scott Reaps What She Sows (Added 4) Chapter 1239: Chapter 1242: Tania Scott Reaps What She Sows (Added 4) Lily hurriedly changed into her clothes and rushed downstairs.
Larry Scott had asked her to come over early, and the time they agreed upon was almost upon them.
“Mom!” Ben's narrow eyes suddenly brightened upon seeing Lily come down.
In the entire hall, no one was present except for Ben, who was sitting there with a lunchbox in hand.
“Ben, what's going on? Why are you sitting here alone? Where are Abbie and Lulu, as well as Grandma and… Charles Taylor?”
Ben stood up, holding a small box, “Dad took Abbie and Lulu away, Grandma went to a friend's house to play with Charles Taylor. Aunt Sadie's people are waiting at the door. Dad said to have me accompany you to the hospital.”
Little Ben Lucas didn't tell the whole truth.
Lulu was lured away by delicacies from Aidan Lucas, and Abbie was dragged away by Aidan Lucas by force.
Early in the morning, there was no such thing as a friend's invitation – Emily Taylor and Charles Taylor were sent away forcefully by Aidan Lucas.
He was worried about Lily, but since she didn't allow him to go to the hospital, he entrusted the important task of accompanying her to the hospital to little Ben Lucas.
To the second personality, little Ben perfectly embodied the 'scheming and cunning' traits of the first personality – such occasions that required official-speak and beating around the bush were perfectly suited for him.
“Here, mom… this is the breakfast I had the kitchen prepare for you, all Cantonese Dim Sum, your favorite,” Ben tilted his head, holding the small lunchbox as if presenting a treasure to Lily.
Lily was almost moved to speechlessness by such a gesture from Ben, took the lunchbox, and pulled his little head into her embrace.
Her Ben was truly wonderful.
All grown up, he would definitely be a perfect gentleman.
What to do, she felt like crying a bit, really unsure what kind of lucky girl would end up marrying their family's Ben!
On the way, mother and son took turns, finishing the entire box of snacks bite by bite.
Sadie, sitting in the front seat, had just thought of sneaking one when she received a cold warning glance from Ben.
Poor Sadie, such a big foodie, sitting in the front seat, having to endure the enticing aroma of food filling the car, yet unable to partake.

Meanwhile, in the corridor outside the VIP ICU at First City Hospital.
Tania Scott stopped Nolan Lucas at the corner of the hallway.
“Tania, did you need me for something?”
“Of course.” Tania looked at the man before her, who still exuded an air of nobility and grace.
But now, looking at him felt completely different from how she felt in the past.
“Nolan Lucas, don't you have anything to explain to me?”
From the moment they had hurriedly taken Grandpa to the hospital last night until now, Nolan Lucas had been running around busily for her and her grandmother.
It was his suggestion not to send Grandpa to the Military Hospital to avoid any underhanded tactics.
The ideas of suing Aidan Lucas, seeking media attention, and even going to the police or taking it to Parliament House were also his suggestions.
But from last night until now, while he had been busy running around, he hadn't offered her a single explanation.
“Tania, be sensible, just wait a little longer,” Nolan Lucas said with a smile, patiently cajoling her, “This is a good opportunity; if we grasp it, we win.”
“But that's my Grandpa!” Tania couldn't help but exclaim.
Nolan Lucas immediately covered her mouth, cautiously checking their surroundings, “Why are you so loud? I know he's your Grandpa. He's not dead, so what are you shouting for?”
Because his own interests were at stake and afraid that his plans would be exposed, Nolan Lucas finally revealed his frustrated side.
His noble demeanor, his elegant mask, collapsed instantly in front of Tania.
Seeing tears well up in Tania's eyes, Nolan Lucas, apparently regretful, gripped her chin and threatened in a cold voice, “Don't think of backing out now. You, Tania Scott, have shared a bed with Nolan Lucas, and everyone knows about it. Not even Larry Scott or Mr. Scott can save you.”
“Let me tell you, Tania, I, Nolan Lucas, have decided to marry you. Even if you're not as good as the eldest daughter of the Reddington family, at least you have Larry Scott backing you. This is a good chance to trip up Aidan Lucas. And don't you dare interfere in your Grandpa's affairs.”
Having said that, Nolan Lucas carelessly shoved Tania Scott against the wall and left.
