The medicine worked fast. I lost consciousness and fell into his arms. When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a hospital room.
I heard a conversation outside the door.
“Dad, everything you planned today went well. Mom’s reputation is completely destroyed. She’ll never be able to fight Aunt Abigail for the company again!”
“But should we still pay those reporters to spread the video they filmed today?”
Nicholas paused, but then answered firmly, “Yes, send it out.”
“Her name is already ruined. One more blow won’t change anything. Later, we can treat her better to make up for it.”
Hearing this, I felt like I had been hit by lightning. Now, I understood why Nicholas had asked me to bring the medicine. It was all part of his plan.
Nicholas wanted to destroy the name of the original heir and make things easier for his lover.
Tears came out of my eyes just as Nicholas walked in. He gently wiped my tears.
“Lily, it’s over now. Don’t worry. I’ve already told someone to destroy today’s video. It won’t be shared.”
Damon’s eyes were red as he held me and cried.
“Mom … Mom, I’ll drink milk every day from now on. I’ll protect you. No one will hurt you again!”
