My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1303

No one knew what Cooper had told Lucy.

Perhaps he gave her some words of encouragement, as someone who had been through similar pain.

Anyway, Lucy woke up quietly, just like that.

After she was up, Sophia was beyond shocked. However, Lucy was extraordinarily calm. She merely told Sophia that she wanted to go to the washroom and that she wanted some food as she was hungry. She seemed to have forgotten Dana and the rainy night, looking as though she was just an injured car accident victim who had been reborn.

Nevertheless, Sophia knew that she had changed.

Lucy happily accepted the treatment to recover her body. Even though she knew that she couldn’t reproduce anymore, she didn’t seem to care about it.

She also didn’t ask about Dana, probably knowing that they couldn’t meet again whether the latter was alive or not.

Dana could either be dead, or the Winston Family had forbidden her from meeting Lucy. Lucy was also clear that she would land Dana in trouble if they got together.

I’ll just treat her as if she’s dead.

Everyone tentatively avoided speaking about Dana in front of her. In fact, they stopped talking about the rainy night altogether. Sophia visited her in the hospital everyday, and Michael also paid her a visit once every few days.

Lying on the bed, Lucy told the visiting Michael straightforwardly, “I’m sorry about lying to you back then. I’d always loved Dana since I was in my teens. She was my first love. All the boyfriends I had throughout these years were just to cover up her existence.”

Michael smiled and shook his head. “Back then, I dated you only because you look like my mother.”

As they exchanged smiles, Sophia felt as though she had been cheated on. However, she knew very well that it was impossible for Lucy and Michael to be together again.

Hence, she just drank the chicken soup quietly. Sophia asked their nanny back home to make plenty of soups—chicken soup, duck soup, mushroom soup, vegetable soup, and corn soup—to bring it over for Lucy. She would bring over a huge pot each time. Lucy couldn’t finish it most of the time—she could only finish half of it. Hence, Sophia also brought a bowl and would help her drink the other half.

Lucy was the one recuperating, yet Sophia was the one who was putting on weight.

At this moment, Lucy had a rosy glow on her cheeks. It was obvious that her body had been recovering well, and she seemed to be smiling. However, Sophia was the only person who could see the pain in her eyes. Every time Lucy smiled, the darkness was visible in her irises. She didn’t feel pleasure or happiness at all.

Sophia found Lucy’s phone and purse, and she even gave her a laptop. Lucy insisted on working while recuperating, even though no one knew what she had been working on, since she had already been fired by the Edwards Group.

Nevertheless, everyone was sure that she was preparing for something.

Sam also visited her often. After seeing that Lucy was making progress in her recovery, he took the opportunity and said, “Lucy, why don’t I arrange for you to migrate abroad? The Crimson House needs someone to take charge in the Europe region. I’ll let you be the person in charge there.”

However, Lucy shook her head and smiled.

Upon seeing that, Sam added, “You don’t like to work for me, is it? That’s fine. I can lend you some money for you to launch your own business abroad. You can go to some faraway places and leave the Edwards Family behind.”

Lucy still shook her head with a sarcastic smile on her face.

After she was removed from the Edwards Group, they even froze her personal bank account.

This was their management style—a very traditional and authoritarian way of running their business.

Usually, something like this was deemed a family private matter, so she couldn’t do anything about it even if she wanted to sue them. The entire incident was rather absurd—just because Lucy was a lesbian, her savings for more than a decade had been forcefully confiscated by her family.

They even killed her lover and raped her as they liked. These were all criminal offences, yet the Edwards Family carried out all of these like it was just a regular day.

To them, everything was normal.

At this moment, Lucy had no money on her because all her private assets had been taken away by the Edwards Family. She got her phone and purse back just because Sophia had sent someone to secretly retrieve it from her house in the suburb that was guarded by the members of the Edwards Family.

After all, quite many people from the Edwards Family had also died—they were the ones who defiled Lucy. It was highly probable that Jordan had already wanted them dead after they did such a thing to Lucy, so he didn’t care about them anyway.

He also stopped caring about Lucy and treated her as though she was dead. However, the Edwards Family still sent people to patrol around her house to secretly look for her.
