C135 Sixth Brother Cares about You.

Under Reece's insistence, Lydia finally compromised and continued to eat.

After swallowing the last mouthful of rice, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed. "Let's go."

"Wait a minute."

Before she could even stand properly, Reece stopped her again.

Lydia raised her head impatiently. "What is it?" Didn't she already do what he asked?

Reece held the tissue in his hand and wiped the corner of her mouth clean.

Seeing her clean face, he smiled. "Now... I can do it."

"Ah... Okay."

The man's magnetic voice fell on her ears, and Lydia suddenly came back to her senses.

She quickly turned her gaze away from the man's face. She stretched out her legs and quickly walked past the man. When she stepped out of the room, her heart was in a mess.

Thump, thump, thump.

Just as he was wiping the corner of her mouth for her, she was moved again.

No matter how hard she tried, she would still be affected by him.

Perhaps this was the aftereffect of falling in love with him.

However, this kind of throbbing only proved that she had fallen in love with him before. There was nothing else.

Hmm, that's it.

She silently cursed in her heart. The girl's tightly knitted eyebrows slowly relaxed.

Because she was afraid that her emotions would be easily affected by Reece, she sat close to the door and pulled away from the man.

"Lydia!"

Just as she was about to close the car door, a cold voice sounded from the backseat. The door was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

She raised her head in confusion and saw a sinister face above her head.

"Second Uncle?"

"Don't call me Second Uncle. I can't take it!" Blain glanced at Reece in the car and his gaze fell on Lydia unhappily. "Get out of the car. Let's talk in private."

Feeling Blain's anger, Lydia frowned slightly.

She could easily guess what Blain was up to, even without him saying anything.

The only thing that could make the smiling tiger's second uncle's face turn so dark was probably the matter of her slapping his precious daughter, Viola, a few days ago.

She did not feel that she had done anything wrong in the matter of Viola.

Lydia opened the car door and leaned against the seat, not going down. "Second Uncle, if you want to help Viola, then I'm sorry. There's really nothing to talk about between us."

"..."

Blain's hand, which was holding a few pieces of paper, suddenly tightened. He slammed the paper on her face. "Second Uncle, if you don't have anything else to say, I'll go home first."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out to close the door.

Blain frowned and slammed the paper on her face. "Sign this and leave!"

With a loud crash, the sharp paper cut through the girl's delicate skin. A scarlet red immediately appeared on her face.

Lydia lowered her eyes and glanced at the papers scattered on the car door. "This is..."

"Property distribution!" Blain snorted and interrupted her.

Property distribution?

She slowly bent down to pick up the papers and carefully examined them. It turned out that this was the Ellis family's share transfer agreement that her second uncle had asked the lawyer to draft.

This contract was very fair in terms of property distribution. Second Uncle did not ask for more, so he did not ask for less either.

She held the property distribution agreement in her hand and raised her head. "Is Second Uncle going to force us to split up? Can't we talk about this after Grandma wakes up?"

"Grandma believes in you. You signed the agreement for her. Let's split up. I won't disturb you, but you shouldn't bully me."

"If Second Uncle chooses to go through legal procedures to split up the family, I naturally can't stop him. However... I want to ask if this is your intention or Viola's intention?"

"Stop nagging. Since you know that you can't stop him, then hurry up and sign it!" Blain took out a pen from his pocket and threw it into the girl's hand.

He had already prepared the pen. Second Uncle must have come prepared.

No, to be precise, it was the other way around.

Second Uncle was good at making a fuss, but when it came to serious matters, he was a little too much of a failure. Naturally, he did not expect to use such a perfect move to get her to sign the agreement.

She had no choice but to sign the agreement.

In order to get the shares of the Ellis family, Viola had really put in a lot of effort in both her previous life and this life.

"Stop dawdling around, hurry up and sign the papers. Otherwise, we will be the laughing stock of the entire Goulcrest." Unable to wait for her to sign the papers, Blain urged her impatiently.

Lydia chuckled. "Why is Second Uncle so eager to split the family? Why doesn't he care about being the laughing stock?"

"If it wasn't for the fact that you didn't care about the relationship between your family and your aunt, why would I be so shameless as to split the family at this time?" Thinking about Theresa's hand that was covered in water bubbles, he gritted his teeth in anger.

Although Viola had warned him to not say anything about it, he still could not swallow his anger.

"Second Uncle, you must be joking. When have I ever killed my aunt?"

"Why did you forget about the matter of Reece burning your aunt's hand so quickly a few days ago?" Blain thought that she was pretending not to admit it, so he mocked her, "My niece, are you pretending to be deaf or blind? Or are you so forgetful?"

Reece?

Hearing this, Lydia was shocked. She turned her head to look at the cold man in the car. "You did it?"

The man nodded. "Yes."

"Reason?" Lydia was puzzled.

"Why? Because you were pushed by that woman and your injuries worsened. Sixth Brother was so distressed that he fainted." Before Loran could say anything, Reece, who was in the passenger seat, pouted and replied.

Lydia's eyes widened.

After a few seconds, she finally came back to her senses and continued to investigate Loran's background.

When she confirmed that Reece really did help her, Lydia's calm heart once again rippled. An indescribable emotion surged within her.

However, she quickly pulled her thoughts back and threw a few pages of paper to Blain. "I won't sign this."

"Heh, do you really want me to go through the legal procedures?" Blain gritted his teeth and fumed with rage.

"Second Uncle, please do as you please. However, as your niece, I have to remind you — I'm afraid that you won't be able to take even a single cent from the Ellis family. Don't even think about it."

After saying that, Lydia did not even look at Blain who was trembling in anger. She raised her hand and closed the door, "TTheo, drive!"

With a weng sound, he jumped out of the car, leaving behind a pile of dust.

Standing in place, Blain's hand was so green that it had turned green. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence. "Lydia, since that's the case, let's meet in court!"

The car drove forward. Lydia lowered her head and stared at the tip of her toes. Her mind was filled with the words that Loran had just said.

"What else could it be? Because you were pushed by that woman and fainted in the middle of the night."

What a joke. One day, this man would actually fall in love with her and feel sorry for her.

Unfortunately, she no longer cared.

In a few days, it would be the end of the month...

After the matter with her grandfather was settled, she would be able to let go of her past.

"Reece," she murmured to herself. "When the time comes, we will truly be able to forget about each other."

"It's good for both of us."

She sighed and closed her eyes, feeling a little tired.

After the car was stable, Lydia could not wait to come to Old Mr. Tillman's bedroom on the second floor.

She pushed the door open and saw that Old Mr. Tillman was resting on a recliner with his eyes closed.

Under the sunlight, his face was pale and unusually yellow. Even with his eyes closed, one could still see the deep sunken eye sockets. It was heartbreaking to see him like this.

Lydia's eyes widened.

"Reece?" Old Mr. Tillman opened his mouth slowly.

Lydia took a deep breath and forced her tears away. She walked up to the old man and squatted beside him. "Grandfather," she called out sweetly.
