That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 287: The Compensation She Deserves



Hearing him constantly blaming Emma, Lily frowned in dissatisfaction. “Emma already feels very guilty. She came to apologize to us as soon as she returned yesterday. Why are you still speaking about her like this?”

After speaking, she looked at Sophia, who was hiding behind Victor.

Sophia was still crying, but now silently, with tears continuously streaming down her face.

Seeing her granddaughter in such a state, Lily felt heartbroken and softened her tone. “Sophia, be good. Don’t cry. Tell Grandma if you’re hurt.”

Sophia, who liked her grandmother, nodded while sobbing upon hearing her words.

“If you knew where we found Sophia, you wouldn’t be asking that question,” Victor said, looking deeply at his mother.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Lily was puzzled.

The phone calls yesterday were hurried, and she didn’t have time to ask for details. She truly didn’t know the specifics.

Victor cast a cold glance at Emma and said to his mother, “When we found Sophia, she had run into the deep forest near the botanical garden and fallen into a large pit. She stayed there all night. Do you think she wouldn’t be hurt?”

These words were meant for both Lily and Emma, hoping Emma would understand and leave.

Hearing about her granddaughter’s ordeal, Lily’s expression changed. She bent down to hug the child and comforted her. “Sophia has suffered. Let Grandma hold you. Don’t run off again.”

Sophia didn’t resist her grandmother’s embrace and stayed quietly in her arms, but continued to sob despite Lily’s efforts to comfort her.

After a while, seeing Emma on the verge of tears beside her, Lily couldn’t help but feel compassion. She said to Victor, “Emma meant well. She wanted to get a more spacious room for you and Sophia. She didn’t expect Sophia to react so strongly. Now that Sophia is back safely, don’t blame her anymore.”

Victor frowned but remained silent.

“Besides,” Lily continued, “Emma said you’re living with Olivia. What is that supposed to mean? You’re about to get engaged. Everyone in Seacrest knows about your engagement with Emma. If this gets out, how do you expect Emma to face people?”

Seeing her son unmoved, Lily’s heart sank further. “Or are you planning to let that woman into the house? We’ve made it clear that I will never accept her. I believe Sophia’s disappearance is also related to her!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Sophia’s chest heaving more violently.

Lily glanced down worriedly and saw Sophia crying so hard she could barely breathe and even started struggling to get out of her arms.

It was clear why-because she had spoken ill of Olivia.

Realizing this, Lily’s face showed displeasure. “I don’t know what’s so good about that woman. Sophia can’t bear to be apart from her and can’t even hear a word against her! If she knew what happened in the past, I wonder if she’d still feel the same!”

If it weren’t for the fact that Sophia was still young and didn’t understand, Lily would have long told her how Olivia abandoned her when she was just a baby!

Hearing his mother hint at bringing up the past, Victor coldly interrupted, “This has nothing to do with Olivia! Last night, if it weren’t for Olivia going into the mountains overnight to search, Sophia might have had to spend another night in the forest!”

Lily hadn’t expected this and was momentarily at a loss for words. After a few seconds of silence, she reluctantly said, “That was only what she should have done!”

Years ago, Olivia abandoned Sophia when she was still in swaddling clothes. What happened last night was merely the compensation she owed Sophia!
