My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)
Chapter 119

Chapter 119

In the end, Ully did not insist on having alcohol. She knew that her health didn’t allow her to have much alcohol.

Before this, she never really cared much about her body. A little discomfort wouldn’t bother her–she’d experienced worse before. It felt strange having someone who cared more about her than she did herself.

Halfway through the meal, Lily realized that Shaun hadn’t said anything for a long time. She raised her eyebrows in surprise

“What’s wrong with him?” she asked Loid.

Loid served her a bowl of stew. “Something’s wrong with his brain”

Lily nodded. “I guessed as much.”

Daniel’s lips twitched. These two were really something else. The rest of the meal proceeded in silence.

After the meal, while Daniel was settling their bill at the counter, Lily remembered something. She looked over at Loid.

“Didn’t you say you needed me to help a patient?”

She hadn’t asked before because she thought Lold would inform her once he had everything arranged

However, it had been a week since he’d told her about the patient. As he hadn’t said anything yet, she decided to take the initiative.

According to Elliot, the Weiss family’s funds wouldn’t last much longer. They would probably be holding an auction soon, so she needed to pick up her pace at earning money.

Shaun’s head shot up immediately, his eyes bright. Before he could say anything, Loid shot him an odd look. He lowered his head, dejected.

Lily raised her eyebrows as she looked at Shaun with interest “Something wrong?”

Shaun glanced at Lold “No, nothing.” he said glomly

Loid poured a glass of warm water for Lily “Just focus on your studies for now. All that can wait until you’re on break”

Lily shrugged. “It’s fine I should take a look at the patient first”

Upon hearing this, Shaun broke out into a bright smile. “You heard what Llly said, Loid. Just let her take a look.”

Loid gave him a cold glance. Shaun shuddered and fell silent. But after a moment of silence, Loid nodded.

“Alright. I’ll arrange the meeting for this weekend.”

Shaon felt relieved to hear that. Lily had no objections to that either. After Daniel paid the bill, they went back home.

Shannon was still awake when they arrived at Anmer Heights. Lily was speechless. She didn’t even look at Shannon. She simply turned to Loid and said, “I’m going up”

“Me too.”

Neither of them paid any attention to Shannon. Shannon was frustrated.

After setting up Loid’s medicated bath and giving him some acupuncture treatment, Lily got ready to go back to her room to sleep. However, Loid called her to his room.

He gave her a stack of worksheets and said gravely, “My mom told me to supervise your studies, so you’re going to do one worksheet every day. You can ask me if you need help”

Lily was speechless. She really wanted to ignore his instructions.

“Don’t get upset. This is for your future,” Lold said. He pulled out a chair and handed her a pen.

“Go on.”

Lily felt a headache coming on as she stared at the worksheet before her, her head in her hands. Eventually, she said, “I don’t know any of this.”

Loid frowned. “None of it?”

Lily just stared at him without saying anything. Exasperated, Loid pulled out another chair and sat across the table from her.

“Let’s start from scratch then ”

Lily was speechless once again. Fine. She might as well see how good the top student of the University of Bridgeport was.

Whenever Loid put this mind to a matter, he seemed to glow with elegance and authority. It was hard to look away from him when he was in the zone.

Lily stared at him as the light illuminated his side profile, casting highlights over his perfect features. As she stared at his lips, her heart skipped a beat.

Loid turned slightly and caught her staring at him with bright eyes. His movements stopped as he, too, got distracted. After a moment, he came back to his senses and smirked at Lily

“What you see?”

Lily was pulled back to reality by his voice. She smiled when she saw the amusement in his eyes.
