Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 499

The next morning, Lila arrived at the hospital with various concoctions with her.

She knocked on the door and entered the ward. Both Janet and her parents were genuinely taken aback at her appearance.

They hadn't expected her, of all people, to pay a visit.

After hearing everything from Ethan just the day before, Beal and Johanna just couldn't bring themselves to be amicable with Lila now.

"What are you doing here?" Beal asked. Contrary to his characteristic disposition as a loving father, he now pulled a long face to show his disgruntlement.

Johanna didn't even afford Lila a cursory glance and kept her gaze averted from the offending woman.

Lila really didn't expect the two of them to be so openly cold towards her.

According to what Charis had told her, she started to cry bitterly in front of her parents and Janet.

"Dad, Mom! I am so sorry!"

After saying that, she got down on her knees before them to beg.

Finally, Beal and Johanna were softened.

In any event, Lila was raised by them. Over the many years of her life with them, they had always treated her as their own flesh and blood.

Regardless of the fact that Lila didn't achieve good grades at school and also didn't have any ambitious inclination, they never cared about it in the least bit. For them, as long as she was happy, everything was just swell.

"What are you doing?" Johanna looked at Lila with a frown creased across her forehead. She felt crestfallen.

Lila cried with absolute hysteria. "I clearly saw that there was something wrong with Janet's parachute, but I deliberately concealed it from being discovered. I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry."

Fearing that Beal and Johanna would abandon her, Lila sobbed her heart out. This time, she wasn't acting. Her eyes were bloodshot red and swollen from all her bawling. She even cowered in a subservient, apologetic manner before Janet.

Janet was also frightened by this uncharacteristic behavior. She hadn't imagined in her wildest dreams that Lila would actually put aside her dignity.
