Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 566:

Bubbling with enthusiasm, Lily responded, “You know how I am, Shawn. When I’m into someone, I just dive in—no looking back!”

“Congratulations.”

Lily ruffled her hair.

“And congrats to you too. Things with Katherine are heating up, huh? You’ve already met her parents, haven’t you?”

Shawn chuckled lightly.

“Get ready for the wedding!”

Ferris seemed eager to interject, and Shawn quickly caught on.

“Lily, why don’t you go talk to the manager? My brother-in-law owns this place. He’ll probably give you a deal because of me.”

“Will do!” Lily responded, well aware of who Shawn’s brother-in-law was. Indeed, anyone in their group would appreciate a connection to Adrian. After she departed, Shawn turned to Ferris.

“Something on your mind?”

Ferris pulled him aside.

“Have you checked in on Lina lately?”noveldrama

“What for? As if I don’t have enough to do.”

Ferris pressed on.

“Lily had a bad stomachache a few days ago, so I took her to the hospital. While we were there, I saw something shocking about Lina.”

“Wasn’t it just a minor cut from some glass? It’s not like it was life-threatening,” Shawn responded, not understanding why Ferris was so concerned.

“Why are you so hung up on her? Do you have feelings for her or something? If so, don’t look to me for advice. If that’s the kind of girl you want, by all means, pursue her.”

“Come on! I’m serious! Who would fall for her?”

“Then what’s the issue?” Shawn flicked his lighter and ignited a cigarette, clearly uninterested.

Ferris explained, “She was in a terrible state, completely bruised from head to toe. The doctor mentioned she had five broken ribs and a ruptured liver.”

Shawn took a moment to process this, then asked, “Who was responsible for this?”

“Who else?” Ferris replied with a scoff.

“Kaleb and his family. You know, her daughter had to watch the whole ordeal unfold.” This triggered a memory for Shawn of a recent call from Lina, where she mentioned that Kaleb had taken her daughter. Was there a link between these dreadful events?

Curious, he asked, “Did she confront Kaleb to get her daughter back?”

“How did you know? Did she confide in you?” Ferris raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Yes, she did. She pleaded for my help to get her child. I thought she was out of her mind and dismissed her.”

Clicking his tongue, Ferris remarked, “Had you helped her, she might not have faced such brutality at Kaleb’s.”
