CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 312: THE RECEIVER 2

"Previously, you had a dilation and curettage surgery, right? It wasn’t done well. You need to be especially careful this time during your pregnancy, or you won’t be able to keep the baby."

The doctor just offered a reminder, then opened the door and left, closing it behind him.

At this moment in the room, Lily Grant’s face had already turned pale.

Lucas’s expression, which had somewhat eased due to the doctor’s admonition, froze instantly.

He turned back and looked at Lily... his gaze was questioning.

Dilation and curettage...

It’s a term not uncommon in abortion procedures.

Lily’s gaze had already turned blank under Lucas Morgan’s stare, and her expression grew increasingly bitter.

Eventually, she simply closed her eyes, her lips curling in bitterness and irony.

She opened her eyes, facing Lucas Morgan, "People really have to take responsibility for what they’ve done. Whether it’s right or wrong, don’t think you can cover it up. Truly... there’s no way to cover it up..."

Lily shook her head, looking utterly despondent, "Since it’s come to this, I won’t insist anymore. I know... you can’t accept it, you definitely can’t accept it..."

"But I have only one request."

She lifted her head to face Lucas Morgan, "I will arrange the time for the abortion with the doctor, but please make sure you’re there on that day, from before I go into the operation to when it’s over, please stay with me."

Lily sighed deeply, "Alright... you can go. I’m tired. After the surgery is over, I won’t appear in your life anymore."

It’s as if she made a crucial decision, lying on the hospital bed, pulling up the covers, and closing her eyes.

Lucas did not say a word the whole time.

From the doctor’s words to Lily’s resolute ones about cutting ties... he remained silent throughout.

In silence.

After around three or four minutes, Lucas, who stood like a piece of wood, seemed to be stirred, slightly moving his hand.

He glanced at Lily...

Even though she had her eyes closed, crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

Lucas bent down, brushing his fingertip across her face, wiping away the tear stains.

When his fingertip grazed her cheek, Lily’s eyelashes noticeably trembled violently.

Lucas straightened his body.

At the same time, Lily had opened her eyes, her face covered in tear stains, "I ask you, please don’t care for me too much. I’ll feel guilty... Lucas, I really will feel guilty."

"What you need now is to properly rest, don’t think about anything else," Lucas responded.

Lily covered her eyes with her hand, "Why are you always so foolish? Haven’t you considered, perhaps from the beginning I was just using you, just making you be a backup?"

"How can you be so foolish!"

Lily, agitated, punched the bedding.

Lucas bent over, grabbing her wrist, "What you need most now is proper rest, don’t think about anything else, leave everything to me."

Lily pursed her lips.

"You rest well, I’ll go out to buy you something."

After helping Lily tidy up, Lucas stood up to leave.

As he closed the door, he glanced back, brows knitted tightly, looking troubled.

Inside the room, Lily lowered her hand, staring blankly at the ceiling...

"Lucas, you’re really stupid!"

"Big fool!"

...

As Lucas left Lily’s hospital ward, as he walked out, he unexpectedly ran into...
