Chapter 463: Chapter 466: Knowing Hannah Ford (3)

“Also, since all the Ford family has businesses in M Country, and Hannah has to stay long-term in M Country for her treatment, it’s preferable for her to stay there where there are people to look after her. If she were to return to Eastonia, there’s no telling…”

“The Ford family…”

The woman’s full name turned out to be Hannah Ford.

Lily Gray suddenly remembered the Ford family that David Redington had mentioned to her.

She couldn’t help but ask: “The Ford family you’re talking about, it’s the one based in A city that started with international trading, right?”

“Yes, that’s them. It seems Brother Ethan even mentioned this to you; you two must be really close.” Joan Wellington responded disinterestedly, starting to fiddle with her cell phone.

She was preparing to make a video call with Hannah Ford so she could have a face-to-face chat with Lily Gray.

“Wait …” Lily Gray suddenly stopped Joan Wellington’s hand.

“Joan, I need to ask you… and I need an honest answer…” A suspicion suddenly came to mind.

She did not know if this suspicion was correct.

But when she heard Hannah came from a powerful wealthy family,

She discarded the initial notion that Hannah could not marry Ethan Wilson due to her inferior status.

If a woman’s social status is considered a good match for Ethan Wilson…

Then, what could possibly prevent her marriage to Ethan Wilson?

The Lucas family disapproves… But why would the Lucas family disapprove?

“Hey, what are you trying to ask?”

Seeing Lily Gray zoning out after asking her question, Joan waved her hand in front of Lily Gray’s face.

An idea suddenly flashed through Lily Gray’s mind.

She got it!

“Joan, I ask you. You said Hannah’s health is bad, and that’s why the Lucas family didn’t agree to her marriage with Ethan Wilson. When you said her health was bad, what were you specifically referring to? Was it that Hannah… had little time left?”

“Of course not… Hannah just has a heart problem. Moreover, Hannah has already gone through heart surgery, and as far as I know, she’s recovering quite well. I presume she’ll make a complete recovery in maybe a year or so!”

“Heart disease… a year or so…”

Lily Gray suddenly found herself gasping for breath.

She still remembers the first time she met Ethan Wilson.

She had walked into the wrong room and intruded into Ethan Wilson’s.

At that time, he had clasped her and pressed her against the door, and what was the first thing he said?

Right, it was ‘you’re late’!

That sentence distinctly indicated that he had been waiting for someone.

And he had mistaken her for that person he was waiting for.

Why did he say something like that?

Who was he waiting for?

Seeing that Lily Gray was again silent, Joan didn’t know what else to say for a moment.

They’ve been out for a while now.

Maybe they could just get the video set up, fulfill Hannah’s wish, and then return with Lily Gray.

Joan buried her head and started fiddling with the cell phone, preparing to connect.

Lily Gray, sitting beside her, remained in a daze.

Her beautiful, peach blossom eyes empty, seeming to be completely immersed in her own world.

The sky tonight was so dark that not a single moonbeam could be seen.

Were it not for the faint glow shed by the lights scattered across the garden’s flower bed,

The entire garden would seem to be entirely enveloped in a black veil.

“Strange, I agreed with Hannah… Why isn’t anyone picking up?”

Joan Wellington was muttering to herself, her eyes fixed on the cell phone screen.

She had specifically contacted Hannah Ford before she had come to meet Lily Gray.
