Lily Gray didn't want Aidan Lucas to worry, so she mustered a smile at him.
Upon seeing Lily's comforting smile, a sense of guilt flashed in Noah Ford's eyes.
He walked over, took her left hand, "Lilith, I'm sorry..."
"Because of my past mistakes, you have an extra younger sister. I heard that Oliver had already told you about Hannah in advance. I cannot ask for your forgiveness, but I just want to say sorry to you."
"I'm sorry, Lilith... I had my reasons for acting that way."
A deep regret and pain reflected in Noah's eyes.
Some things, he alone bears, and has borne for far too long.
So long that he no longer has the courage to face the truth.
All he could do was apologize profoundly, "Lilith, I'm really sorry..."
Lily knew that the 'hardship' Noah was referring to was Bella Scott suffering from postpartum depression, and despite being in such a tough spot, he had to take Hannah back.
She could understand it. After all, a life was at stake.
