Alex hesitated momentarily, then slowly looked away from Lily, lowering his head to kiss Alice. Their lips locked tightly, and they kissed each other passionately, unable to pull apart.
"Alex isn't so innocent. I guarantee that he and Alice will get back together soon! He'll restore his image and gain a powerful father-in-law!" Ethan's words echoed in Lily's mind.
Lily silently turned and walked away. No, it couldn't be like Ethan said...
Alex was a kind and good man. Like he said, there was no future between them. What was wrong with each of them finding their happiness?
How could it be like Ethan described, filled with schemes and manipulation?
Alex wouldn't do that…
Lily bit her lip, desperately trying to convince herself.
When she returned to the OB-GYN's office, she found Ethan sitting there, his face cold and stern. The doctor looked terrified, shrinking back in her chair, afraid to even look at Ethan.
