Chapter 364: How Could You Do This to Me?

“Abby...” Lily doesn’t want to control her tears any more. Abby looks just like how she remembers her.

“It really is you, how could... How could you do that to me? I thought I was never going to see you
again...” Abby hugs her tightly.

They have known each other since schooldays. At this moment, everything that happened before leaps
to their eyes. They are more like kin than friends.

In these years, Lily has learned how to handle her emotions and be independent and calm. However,
everything that supported her crumbles in front of this warm hug.

It is at this moment that Lily realizes how much she wants this reunion.

She opens and closes her mouth, like her voice were choked at her throat. Finally, she says, “I am
back.”

After five years, Lily sets foot on this land again and meets the person that appeared in her numerous
dreams.

“Do you know how much I suffered. After your accident, I couldn’t take it. How could someone just
suddenly be gone? I was sure they made a mistake, but later...” Abby thinks about everything she went
through and chokes, “Lily, how could you do this do me...”

Lily feels her shoulder wet by Abby’s tears and pats her back with trembling hand, “I am sorry. I had to
leave. Trust me, if I had any other choice, I would never do that to you.”

“How have you been these years?” Abby worries about her.

Lily looks down and doesn’t know how to respond. She is physically healthy but she can’t say so about
her mental health, “I have been fine.”



Their encounter totally leaves out Adair, who is standing beside and becomes upset when seeing
mummy in tears. He comforts her sadly, “Mummy, don’t cry.”

Lily and Abby are drawn back by this little whisper.

Abby looks down and is amazed to see the little boy, who looks just like Lily. What did he call her?
Mummy?

Abby feels like she was hammered.

“Adair, this is mummy’s best friend. She is your godmother.” Lily stops crying and smiles at Adair. Abby
and she made a promise before that they would be godmothers of each other ’s kids.

Adair says politely at Abby, “Hello, I am Adair.”

Then he looks at Lily confusedly, “Mummy, what does godmother mean?”

“It means you two are very close, too.”

Adair nods, “Oh, I see.”

Lost to the world, Abby just keeps staring at the little boy. Lily has a son now?

Did she marry some else in these years? But ... Abby thinks of Rex, the man who spent five years
looking for Lily. But in next minute, she figures out.

She squats down and observes the little boy. No wonder he looks like Rex, too!

“This...This is...” Abby looks at Lily in shock.

Lily nods immediately, “Yes.”



Abby feels like her mind exploded and asks them to come inside, “Come in.”

Her apartment is well maintained. It is too late now, so Lily helps Adair clean himself and puts him to
bed before coming out and sitting in the living room.

Abby brings a cup a milk, “Drink some warm milk.”

Lily holds the cup and drinks a bit. Mellow milk flows through her throat to her stomach, warming up the
whole body.

“So, what’s...what’s with the child?”

“He is me and Rex’s. Four years old now. Five years ago, when I left, I was already pregnant.” Lily
doesn’t intend to keep it a secret and tells her everything.

Abby’s jaw falls on the ground. When Lily was in jail, it was she who sent her pregnancy test strips.
Later she had the accident and nobody ever knew about her baby. Now that five years have passed,
the baby is alive and has grown to be a healthy little boy.

Abby asks, “So you left to protect the child?”

“Mostly.” Besides, she was upset about Rex.

Abby sighs and holds her hands, “Dose Rex know about this?”

“Yes.”

“What did he say?”

“I am not sure, He... He treats Adair well, but I fear that he will fight for the custody of Adair. Part of the
reason that I came back this time is to have a talk with him.” Lily is upset.



Abby pauses a bit and says, “Lily, after what happened to you, Rex kept looking for you. At first, we
didn’t believe you were gone. But as time went by, we all accepted it. Only Rex didn’t give up. He loves
you too much to let you go.”

Rex not only cares about the child but also her.

“Besides...” Abby looks at her and hesitates, “You can’t forget him, either. Right?”

“Abby, I gave birth to this child five years ago. I admit that I had feelings for him five years ago. But
everything has changed now.” Lily looks down to hide the sadness in her eyes. Now she just wants a
normal life.

“But after all, Rex is still Adair’s dad. It’s impossible for you to totally cut him off.” If Rex doesn’t have a
feeling for her anymore, it will be easy. But the reality is the opposite.
