Chapter 179 He Never Cared for Her
With a smile on his face, Liam coaxed Madam Young, saying, “It’s nothing major. Mr.
Zachary just can’t decide on something and thought Iddy should have a look.”
Upon hearing this, Idris stood up and addressed Madam Young, “Grandma, I’ll go check it
out and come back soon.”
Madam Young could only nod in response and wave him off, saying, “Go ahead,”
Idris nodded. His gaze lingered briefly on me, as if suggesting I should stay and chat with
Grandma for a while. I did not look at him. My eyes fell on the half–eaten apple in my
hand, finding its taste excessively sweet. I did not like it.
After Idris left, the ward became lively again. Liam chatted with Madam Young, mostly
about his interesting encounters abroad. The ty of his stories made her laugh.
Emily sat quietly on the side. She seemed to always speak very little. Her beautiful eyes
watched Liam as he amused Madam Young, filled with love and admiration.
For a moment, I felt a bit dazed. These two had been married for many years, but after all
this time, Emily’s gaze still held love and admiration for Liam. It seemed he was truly the
light of her life.
Perhaps noticing my gaze, Emily was slightly embarrassed and averted her eyes. Her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcheeks were a bit flushed, and she said to me, “Are you thirsty? I’ll get you a glass of
water.”
Seeing her get up and go to the living room outside the ward to fill the water, I quickly got
up and followed her out. The ward where Madam Young lived was a one–bedroom–one–
living room, with everything in the living room.
I stopped Emily as she was about to pour the water out, and shook my head while saying,
Emily, I’m not thirsty.”
She nodded, her face still a little red. It was probably because I saw her being infatuated
with Liam, so she was a little embarrassed.
Seeing her reaction, I could not help but smile and said, “I really envy the two of you. You
two are so in love.”
Emily coughed softly, her voice gentle and sweet. “You and Iddy have it pretty good too,
since you guys can be together often. Liam is abroad most of the year, and we only get to
see each other for two or three months annually.”
I smiled faintly. “Didn’t grandma say that once the project in Northern Ollibery is settled,
Liam can return home?”
Emily nodded. “Yes, but there’s still a lot to handle with the project over there. We don’t
know when it will be completed.” After saying this, she looked down slightly and touched
her flat stomach, adding, “I hope the project gets done soon, so he can come back
earlier.”
Seeing her affectionate gesture, I could not help but express my surprise, “Emily, you
aren’t… are you?”
Her l*ps curved up slightly, revealing a shy smile. “Yes, but it hasn’t been long. Please
keep it a secret for now. Once Grandma’s health improves, and we all go to the resort, I’ll
tell everyone.”

I nodded and could not help but ask, “Was it during Liam’s last visit back home?”
She hummed in affirmation, a bit embarrassed. “We forgot contraception at that time. I
didn’t expect to get pregnant so soon. I just found out, but it’s a good thing. Ashley is also
growing up, and adding another baby to the family will make it more lively. You should also
take care of yourself and maybe try harder with Iddy. Who knows? You might be next.”
I smiled faintly, not mentioning my situation with Idris, and shifted back the conversation
to her, chatting about the baby.
While we were talking, a heart–wrenching cry from a woman echoed from outside. Emily
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand I stopped talking and walked toward the door in unison.
Stepping out of the ward, we saw Moore. She was pale, still in her hospital gown, looking
extremely weak. It was not clear what had happened, but at that moment, her eyes were
red and tearful as she stared at Idris, her pale face showing stubbornness and resentment.
Clearly, Idris had said something to her.
Seeing us come out, Idris slightly furrowed his brows and said to Ensio, who was beside
Moore, “Help Ms. Scott back to rest.”
Ensio nodded and reached out to assist Moore, who avoided his help.
Moore, with tears on her cheeks, looked at the indifferent Idris, her voice hoarse, “So, from
back then until now, you only approached me just to repay a debt, right?”
Idris’s eyebrows were slightly knitted. There was a trace of unnoticeable coldness in his
handsome features. He did not directly answer her question but said, “Take good care of
yourself.”
It was often said that avoiding a direct answer was an answer in itself. Moore, being an
adult, must have understood.
However, it seemed she was still unwilling to accept it. Her gaze fixed on Idris, her voice
hoarse with emotion. “Did you… have you never really cared for me, not even a little bit?”
