Chapter 140: Surprise Encounter

In the end, Lily decided not to call Alex back. Instead, she climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep.

Early the following day, Lily was woken up by her aunt, who told her to make breakfast. Rubbing her eyes and yawning, Lily washed up. Despite getting plenty of sleep lately, her drowsiness only seemed to increase.

I've never felt like this before. Maybe I should go to the hospital for a check-up.

Halfway through preparing breakfast, Lily heard her aunt's sycophantic voice ringing from the courtyard. "You must be Alex Carter, the only son of the Carter family? Oh my, look at you! The Anderson family may have fallen, but your family is thriving! You're so handsome, such a gentleman.

Alex is here?!

Surprised, Lily forgot to put down the spatula and rushed out of the kitchen, only to find Alex and her aunt standing in the courtyard, chatting.
