Chapter 683: Chapter 686: The Past of the Lucas Family (1)

“Mom, why don’t we just talk here, there’s no need to…”

Emily Taylor didn’t know what Madam Lucas was going to say, but could guess that it might be about the recent crisis in the Lucas family.

Since Ethan Wilson had chosen to hide it, he must not want Lily Gray to worry.

Emily didn’t want the haven her son had built for his wife and child to be destroyed.

However, Madam Lucas didn’t even raise her eyelids.

She said indifferently, “Lily, give Ben to Emily and go upstairs with Grandma.”

That meant there was no room for negotiation at all.

Lily Gray could feel the undercurrents between Madam Lucas and Emily Taylor, and her previously smiling lips couldn’t help but become serious.

She had a premonition that what the old lady was going to say to her, perhaps… was not good news.

In the study room upstairs, Madam Lucas, with the help of Mr. Mckinley and Ellie, sat down with difficulty.

Lily Gray was arranged to sit on the sofa opposite her and only now did she realize that Madam Lucas had really aged.

Not only had she aged, but her health had also declined significantly.

She needed two people to help her up the stairs, and her movements were still very clumsy.

Just now downstairs, sitting next to her, she hadn’t noticed it.

But now, sitting across from her, she could see her clearly.

Compared to the last time they met, she had aged so much.

“Grandma…” Lily Gray’s eyes reddened, and her nose inevitably tingled with sourness.

When Mrs. Gray was hospitalized, it was Madam Lucas who took care of her and protected her.

In just one year, Madam Lucas had become like this.

She still remembered when she had just married Ethan Wilson, she met the old lady in the Lucas family.

At that time, Madam Lucas held her hand and put her and Ethan’s hands together, even though their hearts were not truly united.

And now…

“Silly kid, sit down… Grandma is fine,” Madam Lucas’s voice was warmer than earlier.

After all, she was the child she had always liked. Although she was initially resentful when she saw her, when she looked at the clear tears in her innocent eyes, Madam Lucas knew that she was a kind and innocent child.

“Sigh…” Madam Lucas sighed, and Mr. Mckinley just happened to close the study room door for them.

“Lily, don’t worry about Grandma. I called you up here because I want you to know about something.” Madam Lucas’s old but wise eyes stared intently at Lily Gray’s face.

“Grandma, just tell me whatever it is, and I will listen to you obediently.”

“Good girl, I know you’ve always been the least worrying one.” Madam Lucas nodded, a rare smile appearing on her lips.

She knew that Lily Gray wasn’t lying.

Madam Lucas had experienced countless ups and downs in her life, and her vision was sharp and sophisticated.

Just back to the Lucas home, she could see the hidden worries in Lily Gray’s heart.

Because Madam Lucas had not concealed her emotions, intentionally letting Lily Gray notice her unhappiness. Yet, even so, Lily promised to ‘behave’ directly to reassure her.

How could she bear to harm such a well-behaved, kind, and obedient child?

Her decision which had been changed because of Ben earlier, became even more determined at this moment.

Madam Lucas started slowly, “I want to talk to you about the past of the Lucas family. I suppose you’ve always been curious about where Ethan’s father went, right?”

“Father-in-law…” Lily Gray was surprised Madam Lucas would talk about this and unconsciously spoke her mind, “I remember everyone saying that Father-in-law passed away when he was young…
