Chapter 238 He Was An Outsider

• Evelyn knew that Huston was coming over, but she didn’t raise her head. She didn’t want to see him at all. Lucy was the first to react. She sat up straight and looked at the extraordinary man in front of her with dignity. “Hello, Mr. Lloyd,” Lucy greeted him coldly. Her tone was neither high nor low, but it made his heart sink. Huston lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. He cleared his throat with difficulty and spoke, “Mr. Shelton’s condition is stable. No need to worry. The surgery should be completed in a little while.” Lucy breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she still looked cold on the surface. Her daughter and her husband had suffered so much, and she couldn’t possibly be as kind to him as before. “Thank you for your concern, Mr.

We can’t afford to owe you a favor.” Huston did not feel displeased. He simply said, “This is what I should do.” Then, he When the tall figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had lived for most of her life, sitting in front of Huston was stressful. She turned around and wanted to say something to Evelyn, but before she could speak, she saw the tears in her eyes. She couldn’t say anything at once. She just took her hand and sighed with red eyes, “How did it turn out like this…” The operation lasted for more than four hours. When Ben was pushed out, Evelyn was almost stiff.
