L—ily's expression trembled again. Her gaze towards Elizabeth softened as she softly spoke: "Elizabeth, you even know this. Just who told you all this? It couldn't be your mother, could it?"
"It's not her!" Elizabeth lowered his head and denied.
"I guess it wasn't her, so who could it be? In this city, we do not have many people coming and going, and not many people know about your mother's past! " Lily could not help but become anxious.
"Aunt, it doesn't matter who you are anymore. I just want to know more about her. Otherwise, I'm feeling even more uneasy!" Elizabeth laughed bitterly.
Lily was stunned for a moment: "You ... You call me aunt now? I'm really not used to it!"
"But I'll still call you according to your seniority. Since I already know that she's my mother, it doesn't seem too good for me to call you again!" Elizabeth explained softly.
"That's fine too. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. We're still family after all." Lily wasn't unhappy about it.
In my heart, you are more important than anyone else. Before, I was willful, and even said all sorts of things to stimulate you and hurt your heart, so you must forgive me. In the future, I won't! Elizabeth suddenly wanted to cry again, and he even wanted to slap himself hard.
I already have you by my side, if I were to give you away, I wouldn't want to part with you. Actually, I'm not as great as you think I am, I just can't bear to let you be bullied by others, but I still can't love you too much. Lily, who had always regarded herself as her daughter, suddenly said such polite words to her, which she couldn't accept at the moment.
"No, I should be grateful to you, for no reason at all!" Elizabeth's voice became gentle, "No matter what I call you, in this life, I will be filial to you!"
"With these words of yours, I know you're a good kid. The first money you earned from working, you've already bought me gifts. I knew then that you were really happy!" Lily's eyes had also inexplicably turned red.
"That's to be expected. In the future, I will work even harder and earn even more money.
I will take care of you and her." At this moment, too many emotions welled up in her heart. Not knowing how to express them, Elizabeth could only say these words of thanks like a fool.
"Don't be polite with me, how are you doing with Joshua Wayne? Does he know about you and your mother? " Lily was most worried about what would happen to her and Joshua Wayne.
"He knows, but he doesn't want to break up with me. Aunt, don't worry about me!" Elizabeth thought about the tolerant attitude of that man, and a warm feeling surfaced in her heart.
"The last time we came back to eat, I knew that he would truly like you. Elizabeth, I am really happy for you, to be able to find such a man who dotes on you, you are much luckier than my aunt!" Lily was filled with emotion. Some women had bad luck and no matter how many men they looked for, they wouldn't necessarily love and pamper her wholeheartedly. But some women had too good of a life.
"Elizabeth, you don't need to ask me about your mother. Lily did not want Elizabeth to know more details, afraid that she would blame April Jones.
"Alright, I won't ask anymore. She's locked up now, I'll go see her." Elizabeth sighed.
"What?" When that happened? Elizabeth, when did this happen? Why didn't you tell me this earlier? " Lily's face changed drastically as she became anxious and surprised.
"It was just two days ago. Don't worry, she's only in custody now. She hasn't been sentenced yet."
Lily's face turned white, and continued to mutter. "What crime did she commit, why didn't she tell me? Elizabeth, do you know? "
