Chapter 117 Chapter 117 "Let's head down first and talk as we go!" Hazel pulled Lily out.
Lily shipped off her hand and pressed the button for the first floor. "Let's talk outside." "Hey! Don't go!" Hazel grabbed the elevator door and pulled her back. "You're being unreasonable. I've been doing everything I can for you, and you treatlike this? How could I possibly harm you?" A nurse pushing a medication cart stopped outside the elevator. "Are you going up or down?" Hazel still chung to the door. "We're going down. Sorry. We'll be right out." Since Lily didn't step out, Hazel kept holding the door. Frustrated, Lily had no choice but to leave the elevator. "You know," Hazel continued, dragging her down the hallway toward the gynecology department. "When you were little, we worked so hard to set you up with Xavier-piano lessons, getting into a good university. "We invested so much tand energy into you, yet after your marriage, things haven't gotten any easier for us!" Hazel's 's voice was dripping with self-pity and a twisted version of 'love' as she spoke.

You'll live a life of luxury, and even if you don't share a penny with us, as long as you're happy, your dad and I will be happy, too." Lily simply let her speak, not taking anything in.
At the end of the corridor, Hazel pulled out a mask. "Put this on so you don't run into anyone you know." Lily glanced at the nameplate on the door. "Director Margaret Campbell, Gynecology Department, Jadeford Hospital"-specializing in infertility treatments.
"I'm fine," she said, refusing the mask, clearly resisting. However, Hazel ignored her, opening the mask and trying to put it on her ear.
"You've been trying for two years and still can't get pregnant?" Seeing that Lily was about to leave, Hazel grabbed her hand. "The only connection our family had left was through this hospital. Your dad worked hard to get Dr. Campbell. She's known as the 'Goddess of Childbirth! "Pregnancy isn't just my responsibility!" Lily snapped, pushing her hand away and pulling the mask off.
"The Fulton family gets regular check-ups. How could Xavier have a problem?" Seeing her resistance, Hazel's face darkened. "You've messed up with Hayden. If you don't cooperate with us now, are you trying to give your father a Although the hospital wasn't crowded, there were still a few medical staff around, and the scene between Lily and Hazel had drawn scurious glances. Fine. I'm useless. I never do anything right, and I keep making you angry. You should just stop worrying about me." "You'd better listen to me!" Hazel snapped, moving to push open the door.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lily turned and ran. She headed toward the left hallway and made her way to the first-floor lobby.

"What do you think you're doing? Now you're not even listening to us? Are you trying to throw away your last name?" Bobby's voice was much louder than Hazel's. Instantly, people in the entire hospital lobby turned to look.
Among them was Xavier, who was on the phone by the second-flearrailing. His gaze fixed on Lity with one hand in his pocket. In the quiet hospital, he could clearly hear their conversation.
"I'm not just keeping the Joyner last name. I'm going back to obediently do the check-up and try to get m pregnant with the Fulton family's heir so I can secure my position as Mrs. Fulton. Is that good enough for you?" Lily turned and started to climb back up the stairs. Xavier's eyes narrowed. He knew it. Lily's schemes were all about getting pregnant with his child!
On the surface, she acted like she was playing hard to get, but privately, she did everything to secure her position as Mrs. Fulton! "Has the Avelon Designs Competition sponsorship been settled, Mr. Fulton?
