Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 1516 She's Alone in This World

The Hatcher family went bankrupt. Stephen was suspected of smuggling and murdering. Later, the

investigation found that he was involved in child abuse and nearly killed his child.

He was punished for multiple crimes and would never be released in his lifetime.

After his imprisonment, Debbie chose to divorce him. She didn't bother to take care of Stephen's

parents, nor did she choose to have Lilly's custody.

Lilly's injuries were too severe, and she was only discharged from the hospital two months later. By

then, the instigator of everything, Debbie, had already married another wealthy man.

Debbie was still the perfect woman in others' eyes. To the outsiders, being a stepmother like her was a

hard job. Her stepchild pushed her down the stairs, and she suffered a miscarriage as a result.

Besides, she almost died from heavy bleeding during the operation.

Therefore, her choice to divorce was understandable, as she hadn't given birth to any children for the

Hatcher family. According to rumors, Stephen also mistreated her. She only met her new husband

through Stephen, as Stephen clung to desperate measures before his arrest by giving his wife to the

wealthy man.

Lilly made no comment on this. I wonder why these rumors kept reaching me.

I think I got it. The reason why Debbie framed her for causing the miscarriage struck her.

At that time, her stepmother was six months pregnant. Normally, miscarriage was avoidable.

If she chose to abort the baby herself, people would accuse her of being vain as she aborted the baby

after her husband went bankrupt, although her baby was already six months old.

No matter her reasons, it would harm her reputation. The only way was to shift the blame onto Lilly and

play the victim.

After all, she had suffered enough being a stepmother. Other than that, her malicious child pushed her

off the stairs. In the end, her husband gave her to another wealthy man to save himself.

Lilly had a feeling that marrying the wealthy man was Debbie's plan all along.

Anyway, Debbie had now escaped the Hatcher family and lived her best life again. In contrast, Lilly's

grandparents had driven her out of the house.

"You can't rely on us. We two are already having a hard time! You're just an extra mouth to feed!"

Lilly became an orphan.

She had nowhere to go. The authorities had seized her house, even though that place only brought up

bad memories.

The police planned to send her to the children's home. Meanwhile, she sat on the chair, staring at her

toes quietly.

"Captain MacNeil!" someone called out when the tall man who liked to wear black arrived.

Lilly looked up immediately.

The man crouched down in front of her and caressed her head with a sad smile. "Listen to me, Lilly. I'm

bringing you to meet an old lady. You'll meet new friends of your age there. I promise I'll visit you often."

She pursed her lips and said nothing.

He offered her a lot of comforting words. At last, he packed a few of her belongings, held her hand, and

sent her to the car.

Finally reaching her limits, Lilly burst into tears before she got into the car.

"I don't want to go, Dad! I don't want to go anywhere!"

Lilly flopped around in the person's arms as she reached out to hold Blake's arm. However, the person

who held her tightened their grasp around her. Dad is so close, but I can't reach him!

"Dad, don't leave me alone! Don't do this to me! I promise I'll be good! I'll wash your clothes and clean

the house! I-I can also cook!"

In her dreams, it was always Blake who cooked for her and pampered her.

Her tears fell like rain. "Dad, I'll cook for you and take care of you. Is that okay with you? Just don't

leave me alone…"

The sight of the crying girl pained the onlookers. The representative of the welfare institution was in a

flurry to put the struggling Lilly into the car before they closed the door. Then, the car drove away with a

whoosh.

Lilly cried heartbreakingly as the car sped away from the place. I can't see Dad… Everyone is gone. I'm

all alone now.

She cried until she passed out. Still, she heard voices over her head. "Such a poor thing. She got tired

from crying and fell asleep."

"Yeah. She's a beautiful girl. Too bad her family was ruined."

"I was told she pushed her stepmother down the stairs, and her stepmother lost the baby..."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Lilly woke up to find the caregivers no longer smiling at her as they had at the police station.

She turned her gaze away blankly. She was sitting on the paver steps outside the building as she Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

stared at the distant iron gate.

The building behind her was the dormitory, where the younger children were wailing, and the older

children were making a racket.

One of the caregivers would come over to comfort her occasionally, but gradually, no one bothered to

look at her.

"Dad…" Tears rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes were stung as a result of crying a lot. Read at

"Dad, when will you come to pick me up?" She cradled her knees, her tears soaking the old clothes on

her. "I'm so scared…"

Back at the police station, she had been hoping that she wasn't dreaming all along. What if the guy in

black is Dad?

Once her father was done with his work, he would take her home.

But now, she had to face reality.

There was her, only her.
