Chapter 51- recover
For Lilian, everything happened far too suddenly. And worst of all—it was all happening to the people closest to her.
Her heart was a mess. Her brother wasn’t here, currently on the way back to Burg Eltz with Laurent. The old lord was too aged to deal with such chaos, and her father’s face had turned deathly pale from anger before collapsing. At this moment, she was the only one holding things together.
Well... not quite.
There was also Morrison.
He was helping her bear the weight too.
When she heard him say "I’m coming over" on the phone just now, that single sentence was like a sedative, calming her panicked heart instantly.
For the past twenty-three years of her life, it was always her father Daniel and her brother Dave who shielded her from the storms of the world. But now, in this very moment, the one giving her that sense of security was Morrison.
She didn’t even question it.
She simply trusted him. Trusted that with his ability—and with Dave—he wouldn’t let anything happen to her mother or to Emma.
When her father collapsed from rage and was rushed to the hospital, Morrison had been right there with her.
Dave and Laurent had shown up shortly after to check on their father, then left again to finalize the transfer of shares and retrieve Tiffany and Emma from Bert’s hands.
After the doctor diagnosed Daniel with heart disease and had him moved into a room to rest, Lilian finally turned to Morrison, sincerely grateful.
