‘I’m sure they’ll be fine. Alex is very attentive to children. Galen had a small patch of eczema when he was a baby. I didn't even notice it myself, but Alex did. He even quickly found a way to treat it.

‘I’m so lucky to have married someone like him.’ Lily could not help but smile when she thought about her husband and children.
Suddenly, Lily realized she thought about her past because she was nearing the end of her life. Lily shook her head vigorously and thought, ‘No, no, no! Snap out of it, Lily!’
People were often not brought down by their enemies but by their own beliefs. Once a person’s beliefs crumbled, they would despair easily.
As Lily was lost in thought, Fred entered with two guards. He smirked, “Lily, you know what time it is, right?”
“Is it time to kick your ass?” Lily said bluntly without looking at Fred.
“You fucking—" Upset, Fred caught himself and smiled again. “I’ll let that pass. Say whatever you want while you still can. Take her away!”
He waved, gesturing for the guards to go forward. Since Lily had subdued him before, he dared not approach her himself.
When the guards walked up to Lily, she bolted to her feet. “Don’t touch me!”
The guards were probably stunned by her abruptness and commanding presence, so they did as she said.
