Chapter 155
Lily shot Loid a glare. She suddenly inserted a needle into his acupoint.
“Ouch!” Loid shrieked “Are you trying to murder your husband?”
Producing another needle, Lily asked indifferently, “Why did you go to Aston when your poison hasn’t been resolved?”
“I found out that one of the Hidden Families, the Albotts, had a stalk of Redushil. My attempt to steal it was in vain,” Loid said innocently. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Lily froze, feeling somewhat baffled “If it’s that easy to obtain Redushil, I wouldn’t have delayed Grandma’s treatment until now. Given your brilliance, I certainly didn’t expect you to be as foolish as Shaun is”
Clearing his throat, Loid continued, “The Albors did have the Redushil with them, but I was too late. They’ve already given it to someone else.”
His expression grew sheepish as he explained, “I was kidding earlier. I didn’t attempt to steal it–I went to buy it from them.”
Loid was aware that the Weiss family’s Redushil couldn’t be bought, no matter what price was offered. Redushil was scarce, yet many families coveted it. Seeing how even the Hidden Families desired it, the Weisses were naturally reluctant to sell it to others. Auctioning it filled their pockets to the brim instead.
Also, Loid knew how much Lily cared for Belinda and Jason. She didn’t want to give up on either of them. Thus, he secretly had people investigate the whereabouts of the Redushil, only to discover that the Albotts had already sold it to someone else a month ago. He could only retum empty–handed.
A surge of mixed emotions flooded through Lily as she met Lood’s eyes. Knowing that leaving Lagersfield Cry would impend danger upon him, he still went to help her acquire the Redushil nonetheless. His dedication made her heart ache.
The acupuncture treatment was soon over Loid put on his clothes and took Lily’s hand.
“Do you wanna take a nap?” he asked warmly.
Lily nodded and climbed up his bed after removing her shoes. She hadn’t slept at all last night. Suffering from severe insomnia, she was usually fine, but she would stay up all night if she felt troubled.
Her condition had improved tremendously because of Loid recently. Sleeping next to him seemingly made her feel at ease.
Taking Lily in his embrace, Loid noticed how her body curled up like a kitten when she slept. As he stroked her hair gently, she fell into a deep slumber in his arms.
It was already afternoon when she woke up.
Loid scooped her up in his arms once she was awake. “You must be hungry.”
Lily tensed, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck. She blushed and nodded. “Yeah.”
Loid sat her on the chair and said, “Mom made you your favorite barbecue ribs. She noticed you liked this dish the most when we ate at home last time, so she made you extra Have some and see if you like it”
Still looking somehow awkward, Lily lowered her head and took a bite of the ribs. “They’re delicious!” she had been deliberately suppressing her restlessness.
Loid didn’t eat much. He’d watched her eat the whole time, occasionally feeding her a few bites and pouring her a glass of water. He was incredibly thoughtful.
He had someone clear the table after lunch, and be carried Lily back to bed again.
Lily sat upright. “I’ve had enough sleep.” She was about to get out of bed, but Loid held her tightly.
He was unwilling to let go. “I haven’t slept enough yet.”
Lily was at a loss for words. “Why didn’t you sleep earlier?”
“You’re gorgeous. I couldn’t sleep because I was busy looking at you,” Lold stated firmly.
Rendered speechless, Lily wondered whether he had damaged his brain on his trip to Aston
“I’m still injured, and I won’t be able to hold out if I don’t sleep. Are you really going to be that cruel? Loid whispered, leaning against her shoulder.
