Chapter 1255: Chapter 1258: She Was Diagnosed With… Chapter 1255: Chapter 1258: She Was Diagnosed With… Instead, Noah Ford remained kneeling on the ground, utterly still.

Lily glanced at him and finally spoke up, “Your wife coughed up a lot of blood and was taken away by the doctor, aren’t you going to check on her?”

“No, it’s not like I’m a doctor, being there wouldn’t make a difference.” Noah Ford stayed on his knees, his gaze towards Lily shone with determination.

It seemed that unless Lily forgave him, he would not stand up.

Seeing Noah Ford like this, Lily suddenly felt that a man’s indifference could truly be frightening. Even if Bella Scott was not good to her, she had been faultless towards Noah Ford.

Even if their union was born out of calculation, due to family interests.

But including their daughter, who died young, Bella Scott had given Noah Ford three children.

Three children and the companionship of several decades as husband and wife, yet all she got was Noah Ford’s dismissal with “I’m not a doctor.”

One couldn’t help but say, Bella Scott’s efforts were truly in vain.

Noah Ford continued to kneel and showed no signs of getting up; in the end, it was Larry Scott who couldn’t stand by any longer and forcefully pulled him up.

“Lily, about this matter… it’s not over yet, right? How do you plan to deal with it? No matter what you decide to do, I will cooperate. As long as I can make amends to you, as long as I can atone, I don’t care what I have to do!”

Noah Ford’s entire focus was on repentance and atonement, as for Bella Scott, who had been taken away by the doctor over an hour ago, he’d already pushed her out of his mind.

“I don’t need your compensation or atonement,” Lily said to him, very formally, “As for this matter, the people you owe an apology to are not just me, but also my mother. You should know, after thinking that I had died back then, to what extent her postpartum depression had pushed her to complete despair.”

“I…”
“You don’t need to explain, I don’t want to hear your explanations,” Lily withdrew her gaze, now feeling an indescribable sentiment towards Noah Ford.

Similar to dislike, mixed with pity, and perhaps a sense of delay.

“This is something my mother has the right to know about, I will call her to ask her to come back. When she’s here, you can speak to her yourself.”

Lily didn’t know what kind of emotional past Sylvia Scott and Noah Ford had shared.

Nor was she aware of what feelings Sylvia Scott still harbored for Noah Ford.

But in this matter, even as Sylvia Scott’s daughter, she had no right to handle it for her.

She deserved to know the entire story.

However, Lily was certain about one thing, compared to the empty facade between Noah Ford and Bella Scott, the kind of emotions her parents shared, that was true love.

“Sylvia… you’re saying Sylvia will come back…” Noah muttered.

“I don’t know, but I guess she probably will,” Lily said.

Dad and Mom haven’t met Ben Lucas yet, and they haven’t met Aidan Lucas either…
The thought of the two of them encountering Aidan Lucas caused Lily to suddenly feel a headache coming on.

Meanwhile, Noah Ford was completely lost in a daze.

Ever since Ken Redington found out that Bella Scott had hired someone to cast a spell to ‘get rid’ of Sylvia’s child, he hadn’t seen Sylvia for decades.

The thought of that bright and beautiful woman filled him with a sense of shame that he didn’t know how to face.

“I… I…” Noah Ford was about to say something when the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Oliver Ford entered, his meticulously kept black hair in utter disarray.

Lily even noticed his fingers gripping the doorknob quivering slightly.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” Lily could ignore everyone from the Ford family, but she could never ignore Oliver Ford.

Oliver Ford’s hand, which was holding the doorknob, tightened.

He took a deep breath, and only after calming his breath did he look at the people in the room and said word by word, “My mother… she has been diagnosed with late-stage gastric cancer.”
