Chapter 173 Illusion

Lilian looked at him, and before she could speak, the man picked her up.

Lilian subconsciously hugged his neck, looked at his chin, and then lowered her eyes silently.

Francis put her on the bed, grabbed her hand and looked at it. There were scabs on her wrists, and some of them had begun to fall off, revealing the red skin.

He held her hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then turned to look at Lilian, "Does it still hurt?"

Lilian shook her head.

He held Lilian's hand and rubbed it carefully, with an illusion of tenderness in his eyes.

Lilian closed her eyes, not wanting to look at this face.

He was always like this. With just a few words, she could deceive herself and then be immersed in the illusion she spun.

Francis stared at her reaction, and the air was a little condensed.

Suddenly, a sudden cell phone ringtone broke the tense atmosphere.

Francis let go of her and walked aside to answer the phone.

Lilian opened her eyes and turned her head to look. He turned his back to her, whispered something, and left the bedroom without looking back.

Lilian pursed her lips, grabbed the quilt next to her, and held it tightly in her arms.

Just as she closed her eyes, her head suddenly buzzed, and she covered her head with a painful expression.

After the buzzing, there was a pinprick-like pain, as if countless needles and arrows were firing.

She curled up alone on the bed, her shoulders shaking slightly.

No one knew how long it took before she gradually calmed down.

Lilian looked at the ceiling. Her health condition was getting worse. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

She closed her eyes, her hands hanging weakly on her sides, and the bedroom was eerily quiet.

Francis... went to find Julian again, right?

Lilian tossed and turned for a long time and fell asleep just before dawn. She only slept lightly for two hours before she woke up.

The villa was still empty, so Lilian got up to make breakfast.

After preparing two breakfasts and serving them on the table, she went to the study and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a while and seeing no response, she finally remembered that Francis didn't seem to be back last night.

She went downstairs silently again, sat at the dining table and drank porridge, looking at the plate opposite, and the food in her mouth tasted tasteless.

Lilian went to the company.

She walked into the department, and everyone around her looked at her strangely.

Lilian leaned on the grid on the table and asked, "Lilian, didn't you take a month's leave? Are you coming to work so soon?"

Lilian paused and looked up at Katie. She didn't know that she took a month's leave.

Katie said, "You are really one of the few exceptions in the company. Except for Julian before, you are the only one who can take a month's leave when you first come here."

As soon as Katie finished speaking, Harriet came over with the documents and knocked on her desk.

Katie came back to her senses and greeted Harriet nonchalantly, "Ms. Osborne."

"Go to work." Harriet dropped these words, came to Lilian and handed her a piece of document.

"Lilian, take a look at this document. If you have time today, just input it into the computer and send it to me, okay?"

Lilian took the document and nodded. Harriet's attitude was much better than Katie's. Her nice inquiry left people with no reason to refuse.

Besides, Harriet was her boss.

"Okay, thank you for the hard work," Harriet said, turned around and walked out.

"Mr. Landau didn't come to the company today. Do you think he is having fun with Julian and lost track of time again?" Katie whispered to the colleagues around her.
