Chapter 866: Chapter 869 Who Was the Woman Last Night (2)
“How about it, Alice, my arrangement isn’t bad, right? If I hadn’t been afraid you’d come after me when you woke up, I really wouldn’t have wanted to black out the surveillance on that floor. This way, your man can find you directly.”

Upon hearing this, Lily’s face changed, “I don’t need him to know—delete those surveillance videos immediately.”
Sadie didn’t understand, “I really don’t get it; why can’t you just tell someone you like them?”
“You simply tell him directly, he simply agrees to it directly, and then you two happily be together—it’s such an easy thing, isn’t it?”
Taking advantage of the traffic jam, Sadie slumped onto the steering wheel, letting out a sigh, “I really don’t understand. Don’t you find all this machination exhausting?”
Lily curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile after listening to Sadie’s words.
“Sadie, if two people like each other, of course, it’s an easy thing. But…have you ever thought about what if it’s just one-sided affection? I always believed that maybe he felt for me just as I felt for him—that there was still love.”
“Even if he pretended not to recognize me, I thought he was punishing me on purpose because he hated my departure. People say that the opposite of love is hate, and if there’s hate, it at least shows that he still loves me. But…”
Lily’s speech had already started to lose its normal pace.
She felt a bitterness in her throat, and her sinuses were starting to sting.
“But Sadie, do you know? After last night, I finally understood… that his reaction to me might not be hate. It’s an emotion that’s even more frightening than hate…”
“What emotion?”
Sadie was lost, wondering what could possibly be more terrifying than hatred in this world.
“It’s indifference.” Lily turned her head, looking straight at her.
In her beautiful peach blossom eyes, even the last bit of shimmering brightness was consumed by darkness.
Indifference, as if she didn’t exist at all.
It was at this moment that Lily finally understood why Ethan Wilson had announced to the world, three years ago, that Lily Gray was dead—what his true intentions were.
It wasn’t just so that Ben Lucas could have a healthy childhood.
It was also his own final farewell to his past self.
She was gone, nonexistent, and even if she appeared before him again, she was just a completely unfamiliar person.
To think she still believed that he was just hating her, that as long as she was good to him, as long as she atoned for her sins, she could make him accept her again.
It turns out she had it all wrong…
“In any case, don’t let anyone know about this. Everything that happened last night, let’s pretend it was all just a dream…”
Lily leaned her head against the window, watching the swiftly receding scenery outside, her gaze lost.
Sadie pursed her lips, wanting to console, yet unsure what to say.
He tentatively asked, “What about the woman who was with your man last night, do you want to know about her?”
Lily’s brow twitched, but the next second, she was calm again.
“Forget it, don’t tell me. However, find someone to check where the blue poison is coming from—that kind of drug is bad news, and it could hurt people if it hits the streets.”
What hurting people—she was simply deceiving herself.
She just wanted to know who was scheming against Aidan Lucas.
Even knowing his indifference was not vengeance but neglect, she still embarrassingly wanted to remove obstacles for him.
With a self-mocking curl of her lips, she once again despised herself in her heart.

When Aidan Lucas woke up, there was no one beside him.
He sat up in bed, and the thin blanket slid off his body, revealing his well-defined and elegantly curved physique.
