Lily stayed at the hospital in the following days. Melanie and Stefan also didn’t come and disturb them either. 

Due to her being absent from school for a few days, rumors about her grew rampant. Some people said that she was related to the Maynards‘ downfall, while others claimed that the Maynards killed her during her confrontation with them. Basically, there were all sorts of versions regarding her fate. 

Cold was finally discharged from the hospital after 10 days. His poison had been completely resolved as well. On the day he was discharged, Stefan and Melanie took them to the hotel, intending to welcome them back. Melanie had also sent out invitations for a banquet scheduled that coming Saturday. Evidently, Lily was going to be the star of the banquet. 

Initially, Melanie didn’t intend to invite the Martinez family. She loathed them and couldn’t even stand sparing them a glance. Still, she had to invite them to this banquet. She had to show them how brilliant Lily was. 

At the Martinez residence, Shannon was glowering at the invitation. Her pretty face grew contorted with rage. She couldn’t believe that the Lauriers actually intended to host a banquet for Lily. 

How could they? That shut! How could she? 

They’d ruined her life, yet they had the audacity to host a banquet. Growing resolute, she decided that she wouldn’t let them have their 

way. 

It was still bright out when Lily and Loid exited the hospital. Taking her hand naturally, Loid turned to her and asked warmly, “Shall I take you around?” 

He remembered that he hadn’t shown her around Lagersfield City despite her having spent a considerable amount of time here. They had been so busy 

A gust of cold breeze whooshed past Lily, and she shuddered “Sure,” 

Removing his coat, Lold draped it over her and pulled her into his arms. “Shall we shop for some clothes? You don’t seem to have a lot of outfits.” 

“I’m good.” Lily seemed unfazed. “It’s troublesome.” 

Already used to her languorous way of living, she adapted a similar manner in dressing up as well Hoodies worked best for her. Their simple and loose designs not only allowed her to store her needle pouch, but she could also move freely in them. 

Loid’s gaze softened. Holding her hand, he headed straight to the mall nearby. They went directly to the women’s clothing section. He picked a few suitable outfits and bought them swiftly without having Lily try them on. 

Lily was dumbfounded, but she didn’t stop him nonetheless. He could have his way if it pleased him. 

In less than ten minutes, around 20 sales assistants trailed after them, their hands filled with several bags of Loid’s purchases. 

Casting envious glances at Lily, some of them remarked, “She’s so lucky to have such a rich boyfriend.” 

“Exactly! He literally spent millions in one go–an amount I could never earn in this lifetime.“” 

“Well, let’s not envy her. Didn’t you see how gorgeous she is? Her looks could even put a celebrity’s appearance to shame. It’s only natural for her to find a wealthy boyfriend.” 

With a flurryof whispers echoing from behind Lily, her expression grew sullen.
