Chapter 744: Chapter 747: Don’t be afraid, I have no ill intentions.
Annabella went out to make a phone call, and after a short while, the doorbell rang.
This made Lily Gray nervous.
As she watched Annabella’s retreating back, she unconsciously put a hand on her now-large belly.
Her other hand stealthily reached for her cell phone, hiding it inside her sleeve.
She was too reckless just now.
Although Annabella had deceived her, she had let her guard down because of Annabella’s care for her. Lily couldn’t help but confront her directly.
But now, what if everything Annabella did was just to deceive her?
What if the reason Annabella was sent to approach her was not just for her, but also for the baby in her belly?
Lily silently regretted not exposing Annabella on the spot.
However, since it had already happened, there was no turning back, so she could only secretly grip her cell phone tightly.
If anything goes wrong, she will call Oliver Ford immediately.
As she was thinking, sounds came from the entrance hall.
Annabella let someone in.
A moment later, Annabella’s voice came from the entrance hall.
“Young Master, I’m sorry, I was too careless… Miss Gray is in the living room, do you need my help to explain to her…”
“No need… You can leave. I’ll talk to Lily alone.”
A clear magnetic voice, low and resonant, sounded.
Just by that voice, Lily Gray knew who it was.
It was David Redington!
Did he send Annabella?
What does he want to do by sending Annabella?
Could it be that simply separating her from Ben wasn’t enough, and they also wanted to harm her unborn baby?
For a moment, many possibilities floated through Lily Gray’s mind.
After thinking it over, she felt that David had an ulterior motive – it was very likely he pretended to take care of her.
He would wait until she thought that their child could be born safe and sound, and then deliberately kill her baby during childbirth.
This would be just like Sylvia Scott’s experience, where her child died early after birth.
Did David and his family want her to taste the pain that Bella Scott had inflicted on Sylvia?
Lily’s left hand unconsciously tightened as her thumb began unlocking the cell phone.
At the same time, David stepped into the living room.
He saw Lily sitting on the sofa, her face pale and looking at him with a vigilant expression.
The handsome and deep features of David Redington’s face darkened a little.
In silence, he sighed at the bottom of his heart.
He knew that because of his uncle’s revenge, Lily would have grown resentful towards him.
No, it might not be as simple as resentment.
A few months ago, when he accidentally saw a fleeing figure in the hospital, he knew that in Lily’s heart, he was no different from his uncle.
They were both executioners.
He had severed the bond between her and her child.
Ben, his cousin’s son.
When Ben was born, he was placed in an incubator as a tiny “little monkey.”
David still remembers the way Ben smiled at him.
Thinking about Ben, David feels a sudden pain at the bottom of his heart.
If he could, he would even be willing to go back to the time when Ben was just born.
At that time, he could visit the child in the hospital every day and watch the “little monkey” grow strong in the incubator day by day.
Unfortunately, when his uncle learned that Lily was Bella Scott’s daughter and began targeting the Lucas family, he could no longer be a guest of the Lucas family, and he no longer had a chance to see the child.
Amidst these thoughts, David hid the bitterness in his heart and looked at Lily Gray.
He tried to make his deep and cold eyes warm and gentle, “Lily, you don’t have to be afraid, I have no ill intentions.”
