But they needed to see her, dead or alive. As long as they hadn’t seen her body, they couldn’t give up hope.
They had also brought many people to help and anxiously ordered them to search for Lily at sea.
“Simon, Lily is your cousin-in-law.”
Mary had also heard about the kidnappers making Simon choose one of the two.
Although Nancy and the others hadn’t said anything to blame Simon on the way, she couldn’t get over this hurdle in her own heart.
She also couldn’t accept that her dear Lily had perished in the deep sea just like that.
She walked up to Simon step by step, mustered all her strength, and slapped him hard across the face. “Lily is pregnant right now! She’s carrying James’ flesh and blood! We are family. What the hell is that Elsa? Why did you choose that wretch instead of Lily? Why?!”
The more Mary spoke, the angrier she became, and she used all her strength to slap Simon again.
Normally, Zoey doted on her grandson.
But at this moment, seeing Mary slapping Simon fiercely, she didn’t stop her.
She even wanted to slap him herself.
She also couldn’t accept that the one who survived was that malicious wretch Elsa, while her dear Lily had been killed!
“From childhood, I taught you to distinguish right from wrong, to be upright and magnanimous. You knew all the disgusting things Elsa did. You clearly knew her thoughts were venomous, despicable, and shameless, yet you still saved her… How could I have given birth to such a fool!”
Mary slapped him several more times. She still didn’t feel it was enough to vent her hatred.
She had failed Lily, failed Nancy, and failed James. She didn’t even know how she would ever face Nancy again…
Her chest heaved violently with hatred. After disgustedly kicking Elsa, who was like a stray dog beside them, she kicked Simon as well.
“Sixteen years ago, Elsa did indeed help you. But in all these years, have you been bad to her? Has our Bale family been bad to her? Calculate it carefully: how many pieces of jewelry have you bought her? How many houses have you given her? How much money have you spent on her? Even if she did you a favor, the care you’ve given her and the way you’ve defended her regardless of right or wrong all these years has repaid that debt. You can’t distinguish between family and outsiders, you can’t tell good from bad. You didn’t save Lily, but instead saved a viper… Simon, you are simply an animal!”
“Animal!” Jamie also kicked Simon hard. “Being played for a fool by a viper, you’re really something! If anything happens to Lily and the children in her belly, you, you animal, don’t bother living either!”
“Dad, Mom…”
In the past, whenever Jamie and Mary spoke ill of Elsa, Simon would defend her. But now, the truth was out, and he could no longer defend her.
He lowered his head, the blood-red regret in his eyes surging like a disaster, so painful it felt as if his pupils would split open.
He closed his eyes in agony, his voice hoarse and pained, as if it had been run over by wheels.
“I was wrong… I was wrong from the very beginning. I mistook the person. Elsa isn’t Lizzy at all… The little girl who gave me most of her water and food under the ruins wasn’t Elsa, it was Lily. I failed Lily… I’ve doomed her!”
“You little brat, what did you say?”
Jamie and Mary were both stunned by his words.
However, neither of them was stupid, and in an instant, they both understood. Elsa must have overheard Simon searching for Lizzy, happened to have seen Lily’s pendant, and shamelessly stolen Lily’s pendant.
In truth, they had harbored doubts before. In Simon’s description, the young Lizzy was sincere, kind, optimistic, and bright. They both found it hard to understand how she could have changed so much after growing up.
Now, they finally understood. It turned out Simon had mistaken the person. Thinking about it carefully, Lily was indeed much more like the Lizzy Simon had described.
“You little brat, how could you…” Mary’s tears streamed down.
She really wanted to slap this little idiot to death. How could he be so stupid as to not even know who had shared a life-and-death experience with him?
Sixteen years ago, Lily had helped him get through those two long days trapped in the dark, and their Bale family hadn’t even had the chance to thank her properly, yet she was already…
What kind of mess was this!
Jamie, furious, kicked him again.
“Hurry up and find Lily! If you can’t find Lily, don’t bother coming back!”
Simon said nothing. He turned slowly, like a walking corpse. He didn’t board a boat; instead, he jumped directly into the deep sea.
If he couldn’t bring back the vibrant, living Lily, he wouldn’t need Jamie to kill him; he wouldn’t want to live himself…
In the evening, after Marilyn heard about Lily falling into the sea, she arrived at the seaside, gloating.
Ten hours had passed since Lily fell into the sea. Everyone still hadn’t found a single trace of her. The possibility of Lily’s survival was almost zero.
The sea was so vast and boundless, not to mention there were sharks in it. She felt that Lily had most likely already been swallowed by sharks; finding her body would be harder than climbing to heaven.
Since Lily was already in a fish’s belly, the two little bastards in her stomach had naturally also become a shark’s meal.
And with Lily and her child gone, my baby was now the only heir to the Luke family-precious and irreplaceable, more valuable than ever.
Nancy, Mary, and the others had all gone onto the search and rescue boats to help find Lily.
Grace wanted to go too.
But she got terribly seasick. After spending some time on the boat, she had almost thrown up her bile.
She knew that the longer the time went on, the smaller Lily’s chances of survival became.
She desperately wanted to find Lily, but she also knew in her heart that, vomiting so severely, she couldn’t be of any help. The people on the boat would have to divert energy to take care of her, so she returned to shore.
Zoey didn’t get seasick.
However, the people on the boat were also worried she might feel unwell, and she didn’t want to be a burden either, so she accompanied Grace back to the shore.
“It’s already dark.”
Grace looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and her eyes couldn’t help but become very, very moist again. “I’m so afraid Lily is already…”
Zoey wiped the corner of her eye.
She actually understood, too; she was afraid Lily was already gone.
But she was unwilling to accept this reality and didn’t want to see her old friend suffering so much, so she still held Grace’s hand and coaxed her softly, “This child, Lily, has had a hard life, always suffering grievances.”
“But Lily is a fortunate person. Her good days are all ahead of her. She will definitely return home safely!”
“Yes, Lily is blessed by heaven, she definitely won’t be harmed.” Grace’s eyes were mournful, and she murmured nonstop, as if trying to convince herself.
“Grandma!”
Just as the two elderly women were immersed in unspeakable heartache and worry, they heard Marilyn’s clear, cheerful voice.
Neither of them liked Marilyn to begin with. At a time like this, seeing her gleeful appearance, both their expressions darkened further.
Marilyn felt she would definitely gain status through her child and was immersed in the joy of soon becoming the matriarch of the Luke family, but she didn’t notice the strangeness in their expressions.
She hadn’t been pregnant for long, so it was impossible for it to be showing.
But she felt the child in her belly was too precious, and when she walked, she habitually supported her stomach, her posture as if she were already seven or eight months pregnant.
“Grandma, you’re here too!”
She beamed at the two elderly women and, supporting her stomach, walked slowly over to them.
