Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call

Chapter 181

Megan went to the hospital to pick up Lucia after her discharge.

As soon as the driver had parked, the car door was swung open by someone outside. To Megan’s surprise, it was Timothy Lawson. He stood amid the thin layer of snow, looking isolated and forlorn.

Seeing Timothy again stirred complex emotions within Megan.

She remained quietly seated in the car.

Finally, it was Timothy who broke the silence. “Megan, can we talk?”

In a streetside café, Megan sat quietly behind a floor–to–ceiling window, watching the snow pile up. outside, mindlessly stirring her coffee.

.

Timothy’s voice broke the silence, “Is she doing okay?”

Megan snapped back to reality and looked across the table at Timothy.

He was impeccably dressed, his appearance flawless as ever, but he fidgeted with a cigarette pack, not lighting one due to the setting… it made him appear restless.

She put the stirrer aside and took a sip of her coffee.

Without looking up, she started speaking softly.

“Every time I had coffee with Lucia, she’d complain about its bitterness, saying she wasn’t used to it. But talk as she might, she’d still finish her cup. Not because she enjoyed it, but because she couldn’t

stand the waste. She’d say it was bought with money!

When she was with you, she seemed to live a life of luxury, spending freely, but in truth, she donated a lot of money to orphanages and kids without homes.

Because she once was homeless! Because her umbrella was once torn apart, she said she wanted to be someone else’s shelter.”

Megan’s eyes were slightly moist, and her voice choked up. “The 50 million you gave her, she said she wouldn’t donate it! Because she might not be able to earn money anymore, she said she needed it for her

retirement.”

She looked at Timothy, “Now, you’ve torn her umbrella apart again, and you ask if she’s doing well? How could she be? Timothy, tell me, how could she be doing well without her hearing?”

Timothy remained silent for a long time.

As the coffee grew cold, Megan stood up to leave.

With her back to Timothy, she whispered, “Ten years ago, I brought her home, and ten years later, I won’t

abandon her!”

Timothy’s eyes were filled with bitter sadness as he barely whispered a thank you with a trembling voice.

Megan didn’t need his gratitude.

She wondered if this was the end for Lucia and Timothy. From now on, Lucia would lead a simple life, while Timothy might play his games, perhaps one day taking over the Lawson family empire. Years from now, he might recall their passionate affair, but it would just be a memory.

She felt sad for Lucia.

Upon reaching the ward, Lucia was all packed up and ready to be discharged.

Megan tried to hide it, but Lucia sensed something was amiss and softly asked, “Did he come to see you?” Megan simply nodded.

Lucia didn’t ask further

What was there to ask? He had given her a check for 50 million; they were squared away…

But as they left the hospital, they saw him again.

Across the street, Timothy stood silently, a cigarette between his slender fingers, the smoke blurring his figure. He looked deeply at Lucia and Lucia couldn’t help but remember that aside from their intimate moments, they rarely met like this outside.

A rare meeting, yet it signified a final farewell.

As she got into the car, facing away from Timothy, the hearing aid in her ear glaringly exposed in the sunlight. Timothy suddenly covered his eyes, unable to bear the sight. He had forgotten how much Lucia loved to look beautiful. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

As the car started, Megan gently held Lucia’s hand.

Lucia’s lips trembled slightly as she whispered, “It’s all in the past! Megan, I’m okay!”

But she still cried. Her years with Timothy had been a roller coaster. She had never dreamed of marrying into the Lawson family, but waking up in his arms, she had often gazed at his handsome face in a daze…

Megan took her home and stayed with her for most of the day.

In the evening, Luke called, suggesting that for the upcoming concert in half a month, Paxton had decided Megan would perform the opening piece. Harmony City needed Megan to make another trip to test the

venue.
