"Woo... Ethan Wilson... woo woo woo..."
Lily Gray threw herself into his arms, unable to suppress the deep sense of loss and fear that welled up within her.
She held his waist, feeling his strong arms tightly wrapping her in his embrace.
All she could do was bury her head in his chest and cry.
Her tears just wouldn't stop.
Since childhood, she had always believed that she was upholding the Gray family property.
But now, she found that it was just her own wishful thinking.
It turned out she wasn't a Gray family member at all.
She was just an orphan no one wanted.
"Lily, don't be sad... your husband is here..." Aidan Lucas held her, gently patting her back with a heartache.
He wanted her to stop crying - how could a woman in her confinement period cry like this?
But he knew that postpartum was a time of high risk for depression.
If he made her hold back her tears, he was afraid she would be stifled and damaged.
