Chapter 240 An Awful Family
Cynthia came out of the hospital. Looking at the resignation in her arms, she felt a sense of loss.
Helen was by her side.
“Do you really want to do this?”
Being a doctor was Cynthia’s dream. She had put in so much effort to become a good doctor, but she
just gave up. It was a pity.
She sighed and looked at Helen with a smile, “I will come back. Alston is not here now. I have to guard
the company for him. When he comes back, I will return to the hospital. We will work together again.”
Cynthia changed the topic, “Have I told you that Keller can say ‘papa‘ recently? She and Desmond are
like two little ducks following me. Haha…”
Looking at her delicate little face full of smiles, Helen’s nose was sour.
Five days passed, and they still didn’t find Alston. Many people have given up hope for it. When she
and Dylan talked about it, they didn’t dare to imagine what had happened to Alston.
The cliff was so high and the forest was so big. People said that there were many wild animals in the
mountain.
It was best he got rescued. If not, it was too dangerous to be in the forest for so many days.
Helen raised her hand and touched Cynthia’s head, “If you need anything, just ask. Dylan and I will try
our best to help you.”
Cynthia lowered her head. She hugged Helen tightly and said in a muffled voice, “Okay!”
Greg was busy collecting all kinds of information about the company for her, and she was not idle
either. Before Lily died, she said that she was going to get married soon. Both of her parents died, her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtonly family was her fiancé.
Cynthia took a check for one million dollars to Lily’s fiancé’s house.
It was a very ordinary community. According to the information she found, Lily’s fiancé’s family was all
teachers. Although they were not rich and powerful, they lived a well–to–do life.
She and Bill rang the doorbell. After a long time, she heard someone running over from the room. A
serious, shrewd middle–aged woman opened the door, wearing plastic gloves on her hands. She was
doing laundry.
“Who are you? What are you doing at my house?” She looked warily at Cynthia and Bill.
Cynthia smiled, “Hi, I’m Lily’s friend, and this is…”
“I don’t know Lily. You are looking for the wrong person!” Her expression changed immediately, and she
pushed Cynthia.
Bill hurried forward and separated the two. He looked at the woman hostilely.
The woman restrained her attitude a little. She said tensely, “Lily has delayed my son for so many
years. She is dead, and our family has nothing to do with her. We don’t have such a shameless
daughter–in–law.”
Cynthia knew that Lily’s fiancé’s family didn’t like her, but she still couldn’t help getting angry when she
heard her words.
“I know you don’t like Lily, but she has passed away. I hope you can show some kindness! Don’t
slander her reputation.”
“Am I wrong?” The woman sneered, “People said that Lily slept with several traffickers. How could such
a dirty woman marry my son? To be honest, I’m glad she committed suicide!”
Cynthia said sharply, “Shut up! Lily was coerced. You have no right to insult her. Now she has gone. A
living life is gone. She was your son’s closest person in this world. How dare you insult her!”
The woman shrugged and said, “Anyway, our family has nothing to do with her. Don’t come to us again!
My son and her girlfriend are coming back soon. I don’t want his girlfriend to hear her name!”
“Girlfriend?!” Cynthia was shocked. Her palm pressed against the door tightly, and she stared at her,
“What do you mean?”
The woman seemed to want to make her give up, so she let go of the door and looked at her
triumphantly, “My son didn’t listen to me and wanted to marry Lily, I had to agree. Now that she is dead,
I immediately introduced a girl to my son. Her family is rich, and she is many times better than Lily. My
son fell in love with her at first sight.”
She spoke happily and didn’t notice that Cynthia got angry.
“They are so sweet. Soon, they will get married. Several years later, they will have a baby and my son
will completely forget Lily. My son is such a wise and ambitious man! He deserves better than Lily!”
Cynthia sneered, “A wise man? Only a few days after his fiancé died, he is dating a new girl. What a
sc*mbag! No wonder Lily wanted to commit suicide. She had seen through your family long ago.”
“Your family doesn’t deserve a good girl like Lily!‘
After finishing speaking, Cynthia left without looking back. The woman froze for a moment, and closed
the door heavily.
Cynthia felt bad for Lily.
“Mrs. Smith, where are we going now?” Bill noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked cautiously.
Cynthia sighed and said, “Go home. I’m a little tired. You go pick up the car.”
“Okay!” Bill responded and went downstairs to get the car.
Cynthia walked down slowly. She met a young couple holding hands with sweet smiles when she

“Hello, I’m Lily’s friend.” After she said this, she saw the man’s expression change.
The girlfriend was curious, “Who is Lily?”
The tension in the man’s eyes flashed away. He smiled and said to his girlfriend, “She was a classmate
of mine. You go upstairs first. I will talk to her for a minute.”
Cynthia stood upright. She had a beautiful appearance and a good figure. Her dressing style was
unique. She was a very beautiful scenery just by standing there.
The girlfriend gave her a suspicious look and went upstairs reluctantly.
The fiancé looked at Cynthia, “Who are you? I don’t remember that Lily had such a friend.”
Cynthia said, “Lily and I were kidnapped together, and we escaped. I saw her commit suicide.”
The man’s face faded, showing grief, “Why didn’t you stop her? Why didn’t you stop her?”
He cried sincerely. Cynthia looked at him calmly, “If she comes back alive, will you still marry her?”
As soon as these words came out, the emotions brewed by the man froze on his face, looking very
ridiculous.
Cynthia got the answer from his face. She smiled sarcastically, “Lily committed suicide because she
knew you would be like this. She was desperate.”
The man was ashamed and angry by what she said, “I can’t help it. I can’t accept a dirty woman as my
wife. She is dead now. I have to live, right?”
“Yes. I wish you and your girlfriend happily ever after!” Cynthia said and left.
When she got in the car, she saw Lily’s fiancé still standing there. She reached for the check–in her
pocket,
and rolled it into a ball.
Not all men were like Alston. Compared with Lily, she was much luckier!
