Just picturing two or three kids who looked like him or her, <b>running </b>around and calling him “Dad,” filled John’s <b>cold</b>, distant eyes with rare warmth.
Back when she used to talk about the future, about having two or three kids after they got married, he had always responded indifferently, as if he didn’t really <b>care</b>.
But the truth was–he had always longed for a home.
A warm home, with her, and their children.
John waspletely lost in the thought when his <b>phone </b>suddenly rang.
He thought it was Lily calling, and warmth instantly spread across his face like sunlight melting winter frost.
But when he saw it was Elsa on the caller ID, a sh of disappointment crossed his eyes.
Still, it waste–if Elsa was calling him now, it had to be something urgent. He answered anyway.
“Elsa, what’s wrong?”
John…”
Elsa’s voice was thick with helplessness and panic. “I just got home from the hospital. After I got into the neighborhood, a man started following me. I’m alone at home now, and I’m really scared. John, what should I do?”
Tomorrow, he and Lily were supposed to go register their marriage, They’d have to take a photo for the certificate, and he wanted to look decent.
He had hoped to go to bed early tonight..
It was alreadyte, and he really didn’t want to go out.
But if he didn’t, Elsa might get overwhelmed with fear–or <b>worse</b>, something <b>might </b>happen to her. After <b>a </b>moment of silence, he said, “Don’t be afraid. I’lle over <b>now</b>.”
Tonight, trending alongside the full video of Lily pping Mathilda was another clip–posted by Nancy.
Sixteen years ago, when <b>Nancy </b>had gone to the orphanage to adopt Lily, her assistant had taken a short video of her interaction with Lily.
In the video, she held Lily’s soft, chubby little hand, her <b>face </b>glowing with tenderness. Lily, <b>I’ve </b>already asked Ji Bai to handle the adoption paperwork. From now on, you’re my daughter:

The more Nancy looked at her, the more she liked her. She couldn’t help but pull her into a hug. “I finally have a daughter. I’m so happy!
nc was famously obsessed with his wife.
He knew childbirth was dangerous–like stepping through the gates of death.
Even though the Luke family was wealthy and powerful, and he had hired the very best OB–GYN for Nancy, he still hated the idea of <b>her </b>risking her life repeatedly.
But Nancy had always wanted a daughter. He couldn’t say no. That’s how they ended up with three sons in
When she was giving birth to their third son, Ivan, she fell and nearly died. nc was terrified. No matter how much she begged after that, he refused to let her get pregnant again.
But Nancy still longed for a daughter. In the end, she chose to adopt one from an orphanage.
At that orphanage, she spotted Lily at first nce. Once she picked her up, she couldn’t help but stroke her soft little face.
“Lily, you’re so adorable. Raising a daughter is way more fun than raising those smelly boys. I’m going to buy you the prettiest princess dresses, diamonds, gold… I’ll dress up my little Princess Lily every single day!”
“Nancy…”
In the video, after hugging Lily for a while, Nancy pulled out a diamond hairclip she had prepared in advance and clipped it into Lily’s hair.
As she was ridying Lily’s hair, a sobbing Luna <b>suddenly </b>appeared and stood in front of her.
“I really like Lily <b>too</b><b>… </b>Mathilda is gone. I might never see her again. I really want a daughter… Nancy, I’m begging you–please let me adopt Lily instead?”
The video ended with Nancy giving in and agreeing to let Luna adopt her.
-After posting the clip, Nancy also released a statement on her personal ount
“There <b>was </b>never a case of someone stealing another’s child. Lily’s biological parents were extremely upright and aplished artists. They never switched anyone’s children. Mathilda’s disappearance at age six had nothing to do with Lily. Lily never stole Mathilda’s life. After Lily’s parents passed <b>away</b>. I was going to <b>adopt </b>her. But my college roommate Luna got down on her knees and begged <b>me</b><b>, </b>saying she felt a connection with Lily. Out of pity, I softened and gave her up. I believe if I had adopted Lily, she would’ve had a far better life than the one she got with the Ginger family. After their real daughter came back, the Ginger family cut ties with Lilypletely. The money they spent on her over the years–she’s already <b>paid </b>back double. Lily owes nothing to that cold <b>and </b>selfish family, <b>and </b>even less to Mathilda! Mathilda being kidnapped was a tragedy But if she wants to me someone, me the traffickers, me the buyers, me the parems who lost her–not Lily. What she’s doing <b>now </b>is bullying the weak, twisting the truth, <b>and </b>ndering <b>an </b>innocent person. She’s sick.”
