Chapter 186
Lily gave Loid a look as if asking for permission.
Loid thought for a second and stood up. “Let’s go.”
Liam didn’t ask where Lily was taking him. He just followed her out of the door.
Shaun, Daniel, and Neil were still waiting outside. They rushed over when they saw Loid and company coming out.
Shaun said impishly, “Are you going out, Mr. Laurier? Can I come with you?”
Loid glanced at him calmly. Then, he handed him the car keys. “You drive.”
He wondered if he should just send the bunch of them to Freeqa so they wouldn’t be able to disturb him when he was spending time with Lily.
Daniel and Neil brought Liam to another car.
They drove to Loid’s private hospital. Then, Lily brought Liam to Jason’s ward.
Liam was at a loss for words when he saw Jason on the bed. “What… What’s going on? Isn’t Jason…”
Dead? His body was already cremated, too. Why would he show up here?
Lily pulled a chair over and gestured for Liam to sit.
“He’s still alive.”
Liam still couldn’t believe what was before his eyes and was still in shock.
“How is this possible? I saw him being cremated with my own eyes…”
“Mr. Laurier, what you see may not be the truth. Loid was the one who saved him. Although he’s still alive, he’s no different from a corpse. It’ll take a lot of effort to heal him.”
She stuffed her hands into her pockets and looked at Jason. Her gaze became a little warmer. “I brought you here to see him because I want you to realize that he was the one who single–handedly brought the Martinez family to where it is today. You have to keep going for his sake.”
It took Liam a good while before he was able to come to terms with the news. He looked at Lily as realization struck him. “So, the two of you knew each other from before?”
“That’s right,” Lily replied bluntly.
“When? I’ve never heard him talk about you.”
Lily thought for a bit and said, “Around ten years ago.”
Liam said in disbelief, “Ten years ago? How old were you back then? How did you get to know each other?”
Lily frowned a little and said speechlessly, “Well… we just happened to meet each other.”
Liam was at a loss for words.
“Mr. Martinez, please don’t tell anyone else that Jason is still alive. As for the Martinez family, I trust you know what you need to do, right?” Lily asked calmly.
“Yeah.” Liam had been through a lot in his time. He was able to come to terms with what he learned after a while.
Jason being alive was great news for him.
Lily nodded, “Looking at the Martinez family’s current situation, they probably won’t last too long. I’ll invest some money into the company when you’ve seized control of the family’s company. I’ll help Jason protect what he holds dear.”
