"I think you might not have heard my question earlier," Lily's stern voice echoed inside the living room, waking up Mrs. Arison from her stupor. "So, I am going to ask you again. Why are you here harassing my friend instead of taking care of your son at the hospital?"
"I… Lily darling, how could you say such things?" Mrs. Arison widened her eyes, her face turning red from being caught red-handed. However, she refused to back off. "I was not harassing her. We just had a little misunderstanding," she said while eyeing Lily's friend who was giving her a smug smile.
"I see…" Lily said while making herself comfortable on the couch. "So is Liam dead?"
"Lily!" Mrs. Arison's temper instantly flared. "Disrespecting me is fine, but how could you say something like that about your fiancé?"
