Lily’s POV:

Alfred hesitantly asked if I wanted to go home with him.

He was my blood-related brother, but the relationship between us was so strange. It was as if there was an invisible wall between us that prevented all contact from being broken.

Perhaps my silence caused him to misunderstand, and he hurriedly added, “I’m not… I’m not forcing you to come with us, Lily. It’s just that it’s very late today. You’ve had another shock and need to rest. There must be food and hot water prepared in the manor. I think this will help you get rid of some fatigue.

“Moreover… Grandpa is also here. He is also very worried about you. He…” Alfred huffed and puffed for a long time, and his face turned red.

He was upright and calm, but when he was with me, he was always acting like this. It shouldn’t be this way, but I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to get in touch with him or anyone else in the family. Our interactions always ended up in similar situations, which made me feel it was all unnecessary.

Only when we didn’t meet each other could we be safe.

1 thought I should refuse, but 1 had already promised to meet Yarin. If 1 stood him up, he would give me that abandoned puppy face again. And Heller, the two brats, are my nemesis.

So I nodded and said, “I’ll go back. Are we leaving now?”

Alfred was stunned, then immediately replied happily, “Yes, and with Grandpa. Let’s go back together.”

We walked side by side to the car. Suddenly, he hesitated and asked,”… Can I still contact you in the future?”

It took me a few seconds to realize what he was referring to. Mind-link. This thing was like air to me, and 1 hadn’t used it to contact anyone for a long time.

No one needed to hear from me. 1 didn’t need anyone to contact me.

However, when I met Alfred’s expectant eyes, I couldn’t say anything to refuse. I turned my head away and tried my best to speak in a flat tone. “Sure, but I can’t guarantee that 1’11 answer. I haven’t used it for long, so I always subconsciously ignore it.”

This was enough to make Alfred very happy. He didn’t say anything else, but he visibly became spirited, like a flower dancing in the wind.

In fact, I knew that he had always been very concerned about me and our older brother. They would always find ways to contact me, this sister who was missing from time to time. But gradually, my relationship with them became rusty due to my hard work in playing.

They were not alone. They had my parents, who were like wildfire and tsunami behind them. This couple wished they could eat each other’s flesh and sleep inside each other. They protected their heirs as carefully as they protected their eyeballs.

In their eyes, I was either a non-necessity or an unnecessary burden. It was as if looking at me reminded them of the nauseating sweet times when they were young. So they avoided me and didn’t like my brothers contacting me as if I was a spy or an ambitious person who wanted to steal their wealth and power or kill their precious heirs.

Of course, they never said what they thought. It was just that every time my brothers came into contact with me, they would immediately be called away from me for various reasons. 1 was not a fool. What was there to not understand?

I didn’t want to see their fake smiles, and I didn’t want to cause trouble for my brothers. I cut off contact, and everyone was quiet.

My grandfather was leaning against the car door, waiting. I subconsciously lowered my head when I saw him, not wanting to meet his kind eyes.

Perhaps there was an exception among my blood relatives: my maternal grandfather. My parents couldn’t control him, and he wanted me to return to my family and stay with my relatives. His love was sincere. In his eyes, 1 wasn’t a burden or a bad person. I was just his beloved granddaughter, his precious family member.

But this was why I didn’t want to face him. There were many reasons 1 couldn’t go back. It was because of my mother, brothers, and those eccentric relatives. I could immediately say many things I had no choice but to do. But what reason did I have to reject this loving old man?

His love made me afraid. It softened me, made me compromise, and made me return to that suffocating family. 1 didn’t want that, so 1 had to keep running away and disappointing my grandfather.

1 was indeed the child of my parents. I was ioo% cold-blooded and selfish.

My grandfather didn’t ask anything. He just hugged me gently and said, “You must be hungry. The manor has already prepared some food. In a while, we can drink the warm and fragrant milk.”

I nodded and followed him into the car without saying a word.

It was silent along the way. I didn’t want it to be so awkward, so I asked Alfred, “I still don’t know how you found me.”

But Alfred shrugged and said, “Actually, Prince Yarin found you, but we did things separately, so I don’t know how he found you.”

I only recalled being in the dance studio when I heard a loud noise outside. It was like an explosion, and it scared me. Alfred didn’t know either. Perhaps he could only ask Yarin later.

When I arrived at the manor and got off the car, I saw a car slowly driving in.

It was my mother..
