Chapter 200
Neil looked at Loid without saying anything. He sat next to them quietly.
After a while, the Lauriers came out of Arthur’s bedroom. They returned to their homes when they saw that Arthur was fine.
They only greeted Loid as they were leaving. No one talked to Lily.
Loid only brought Lily to Arthur’s bedroom after all of them were gone.
Neil went to buy the herbs for the herbal medicine for Arthur based on Lily’s prescription.
Arthur sat up in bed when Loid and Lily entered the room. He waved toward Lily with a kind smile. “Come here, young lady.”
Lily frowned and paused for a moment before walking to Arthur’s bedside.
He held her hand and patted it gently. “I’m sorry you must experience all that on your first day here.”
“I’m fine,” Lily said calmly.
“I had prepared a banquet to welcome the two of you home. By the looks of it, we won’t be able to have it now.”
Arthur looked at Loid and said, “Loid, take Lily out for some food. Tomorrow, when I’m better, we’ll book a restaurant and have a meal with the whole family.” “Okay.” Loid dropped his forceful demeanor when he was with Arthur. Even his tone became gentler.
After chatting with Arthur for a while, Loid took Lily out to get some food while Neil stayed to care for Arthur.
When they got to the door, Lily’s phone rang. Her eyes flashed subtly when she saw the caller ID. She cleared her throat and said, “Let me take this call.”
She took her phone and walked away after she said that.
Loid’s gaze grew sharp as he watched her walk away. He only caught a glance of her phone and saw that the Caller ID was “D“.
She had a weird way of labeling her contacts. Some would receive a codename, and others were left blank.
He knew that Lily had two phones. One had all the contact information of her classmates and friends, but no one was noteworthy.
The other phone had weird labels for the contacts. It was pretty mysterious. They seemed to be more important to her.
His number was saved on the phone with her friends and classmates.
He even noticed that Poppy’s and Bobby’s numbers were saved in the phone with the important contacts.
Was he not an important person to her?
For some reason,
he felt a pain in his chest when he thought about that.
Meanwhile, Lily had walked quite far away. She only stopped when Loid and Daniel were out of sight.
She turned on the voice changer and picked up the call. “Speak.”
“K, help me!” a man yelled from the other end of the line. He was panting a little. It seemed like he was running.
Lily frowned and took out her other phone. She turned it into a mini computer and
