C65 Isn't This What Mr. Tillman Wants?

Twenty minutes later.

The man's right arm was clearly numb from the pillow. He glanced at the little person sleeping soundly beside him, but he remained motionless and allowed her to lean against him.

At this moment!

The woman's head suddenly fell. He raised his hand to help her up, but he saw that the woman had already opened her eyes and retracted her hand.

"We're here?"

Lydia glanced at the man who was sitting upright and straightened her body.

Reece looked straight ahead and replied with an expressionless "hmm".

"Did I sleep for a long time?" Lydia lowered her head and glanced at the time on the screen of her phone with a face full of surprise!

It was almost three o'clock.

How long had she been sleeping?

She awkwardly licked her lips. "Did we arrive a long time ago?"

"We just arrived."

"We just arrived?" She remembered that the journey to the hotel wasn't that far. Why did she take twenty minutes to get here?

"Mmm, it's a little crowded on the road."

So that's how it was!

No wonder she walked so slowly this time!

Lydia did not doubt the man's explanation.

Only when she got out of the car did the man in the driver's seat move his numb right arm.

Because he was afraid that she would find something wrong, he only pinched it a few times before following her out of the car.

Pah!

The moment the car door opened, the man's expression returned to its usual indifference and coldness.

"Doctor, doctor, please extend the treatment for another twenty minutes! My friend will send the money to me right away!" Lydia and Reece had just walked out of the room when they heard the hoarse voice of Amelia.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tolerate it." The doctor slowly pushed away Amelia and turned to the nurse beside him. "There's a patient downstairs who has already checked in. He's coming up soon. Hurry up and clean up the bed."

The doctor then turned around and left.

Seeing that her mother had been pushed out of the ward, Amelia was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. She was like a mad woman, calling Viola's number over and over again.

She was going to be called!

She was going to be called!

However, no one answered the phone.

When she tried to call again, Viola turned off her phone.

Amelia's heart skipped a beat when she heard the notification that her phone had turned off. She froze on the spot.

Looking at the black screen, Amelia's hands trembled slightly, but she still held onto the hope that it was Viola.

Viola would not ignore her.

She would not.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from behind her.

Amelia's gray eyes instantly lit up. She smiled happily and said, "V Viola, I knew you would come... you?"

She turned around and saw Lydia and Reece. She frowned.

Amelia looked past them and saw that the elevator was empty. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.

"Don't wait anymore, Viola won't come." Seeing Amelia's thoughts, Lydia straightforwardly broke the last bit of fantasy she had in her heart.

Suddenly, Amelia's face darkened and she turned around to leave.

"You still don't know about the plagiarism of the design competition?"

Hearing this, Amelia stopped in her tracks.

Viola plagiarized?

She really didn't know about it.

However, it had nothing to do with her.

So very quickly, Amelia recovered her indifference and continued to leave.

"Because Viola plagiarized, the Ellis family froze all of Viola's bank cards and overdraft cards. If you want to wait for Viola to come and sober up, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Lydia looked at Amelia's stubborn back and added.

In the next second, Amelia stopped in her tracks once again.

Even if Amelia did not turn around, Lydia could guess how ugly her expression was.

She knew that her words had worked.

Lydia took out her phone and swiped a few times on the screen before placing it in front of Amelia. "If you don't believe me, take a look at our school's forum. There are some discussions about Viola these few days."

Amelia took the phone in confusion and quickly saw the post about Viola.

Viola really plagiarized it?

Had the Ellis family really frozen Viola's bank card?

Looking at the screen, Amelia's mind was filled with the expression of Viola when she suddenly said that the credit card balance had been used up. At that time, Viola's expression was indeed not good.

Adding on the fact that she could not get through to Viola and that she had turned off her phone, her face immediately turned pale.

"Ms. Yang, are you sure?"

Lydia looked at Amelia, whose hands were trembling, and took out a gold card from her pocket. "Miss Yang, although I can't help you, I can help you pay for the hospital bills."

After saying that, Lydia placed the bank card in Amelia's hands. "Go ahead and pay for your mother's hospitalization fees first."

"This..." Amelia lowered her head to look at the bank card in her hand, feeling conflicted. However, when she saw her mother rushing out of the corridor, she immediately clenched the bank card.

Amelia turned her head to look at Lydia. "You want me to tell you the truth?"

"... If you want to say it, just say it. I won't force you." Lydia smiled faintly and turned her head to walk towards the elevator. "Don't worry about the money. I won't pay for your hospitalization fees just because you didn't tell me the truth."

Her trusting back caught Amelia off guard.

Lydia just left like that?

Shouldn't she be using her mother's words to force her to tell her the truth?

Amelia lowered her head to look at the bank card in her hand. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings. "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to give you the answer you want after taking the money?"

"Don't worry." Lydia paused and turned her head with a smile. "Because I believe you won't do that!" She believed that sooner or later, she would find evidence.

Her trusting gaze and bright smile caused Amelia's heart to tremble.

How could there be such a fool in this world?

This stupid woman actually trusted a criminal who had once framed her!

Idiot!

Amelia felt her hands sinking into her pockets as she held the bank card in her hand. It was so heavy that she couldn't even lift it.

At this moment, the nurse came out from the room and glanced at Amelia. She said helplessly, "Miss Yang, please take your mother away. When our director comes later, he will see that the door is in such a mess."

"Don't worry. I have borrowed the money. I'll go and complete the hospitalization procedures right away. I won't implicate you." Amelia turned her head to look at her paralyzed mother on the bed and quickly ran to the counter to pay for the hospitalization fees.

When she passed by Lydia, she paused for a moment and said hoarsely, "Wait for me in the underground parking lot. After I complete the hospitalization procedures, I'll go find you."

"En, okay."

Lydia was obviously stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile.

As she watched Amelia leave, the tension in her heart loosened a little.

Finally, she managed to pry open Amelia's mouth with her tenacity!

She had pried open a corner of the past!

However, she did not leave as Amelia had said. Instead, she walked to the bedridden mother of the Yang family and stood guard.

It was only when Amelia returned that she left.

Looking at her limping back, an indescribable guilt welled up in Amelia's heart. Why was she so cruel back then, to actually help someone frame such a good girl!

"..."

In the first parking lot.

Lydia was afraid that Amelia would not be able to find her, so she stood outside the car.

Luckily, she had been standing outside the car for a long time, so the nerve in her left leg was still in pain. She raised her hand and was about to punch it.

However, in the next second, her hand was gripped tightly by a hand.

Then, she was carried by the man.

"Since you are in pain, just sit in the car and wait."

"But she won't be able to find me." Lydia twisted her body and refused to enter the car.

However, the man still forcefully shoved her into the car.

"If she really wants to find me, she won't be able to find me!" Just as she was about to get out of the car, she was suddenly pulled by the man.

Lydia was about to retort, but in the end, she closed her mouth.

Reece was right. If he really wanted to find her, he would be able to.

She stopped struggling and sat in the seat obediently.

However, even though she had sat down, her left leg was still in pain. She lifted her hand and slapped her leg again and again.

Pah!

Pah!

The sound of the slapping became louder and louder. Reece couldn't help but glance at her left leg.

In an instant, the scar on her left leg was so deep and thick that it made her squint her eyes. "It must have been very painful in the past, right?"

Lydia's question froze her.

Was it painful?

She didn't forget how painful it was. She only knew that when the doctor checked her wound, he only touched it once. Her body collapsed and she cried.

That day, she cried like a child...

However, none of that could compare to the pain she felt when she knew that her leg had been broken by someone else. It was unbearable!

Thinking of this, Lydia clenched her fists and dug her nails into her flesh.

"Doesn't Mr. Tillman want me to suffer so much that I wish I was dead?"

Lydia's eyebrows furrowed. "Are you saying that I intentionally injured you?"

"Mr. Tillman, don't misunderstand me. I don't think so." She was sure that it was him who had done it!

In her previous life, she had heard someone else tell her the truth. It was Mr. Tillman who had arranged the accident!

"Lydia, there must be a misunderstanding here!" The man was even more certain that the woman had misunderstood him when he saw her sudden change in attitude.

Back then, no matter how much he hated her, he never thought of crippling her.

However, Lydia suddenly sneered.

"It doesn't matter if there's a misunderstanding." In any case, she was dead.

Reece frowned as he continued to look at her.

What exactly had this woman experienced? The despair and sadness in her eyes made his heart ache.

For a moment, the two of them chatted until they died.

Lydia looked out of the window without saying a word.

The man took out a cigarette and lit it up before taking a deep puff.

Soon, the narrow space became suffocating.

In the midst of the smoke, Reece glanced at the person sitting on the other side of the car. His gaze fell on the empty space between the two of them, and he took a deep breath.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Lydia coughed non-stop from the pungent smoke. Her tears were about to burst out of her eyes.

She tried to get out of the car, but the car window in front of her had already opened.

Reece opened it for her?

She looked at the window and paused for a moment before getting out of the car.

At this moment, a figure walked towards her from the elevator.

"Miss Ellis, I'm sorry for making you wait."

Seeing Amelia, Lydia smiled politely, "Has your mother completed her hospitalization procedures?"

"Yes, thank you." Lydia's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at her. She took a deep breath and took out a U shield from her pocket and handed it to her.

Lydia took it blankly. "What is this?"

"There's the answer you want to know."

Lydia was stunned. Her gaze fell on the U shield in her hand, and her heart was filled with excitement.

Finally, she could prove her innocence to a certain man!
