My Dreamy Old Husband

No one knew what Cooper had told Lucy.

Perhaps he gave her some words of encouragement, as someone who had been through similar pain.

Anyway, Lucy woke up quietly, just like that.

After she was up, Sophia was beyond shocked. However, Lucy was extraordinarily calm. She merely told Sophia that she wanted to go to the washroom and that she wanted some food as she was hungry. She seemed to have forgotten Dana and the rainy night, looking as though she was just an injured car accident victim who had been reborn.

Nevertheless, Sophia knew that she had changed.

Lucy happily accepted the treatment to recover her body. Even though she knew that she couldn’t reproduce anymore, she didn’t seem to care about it.

She also didn’t ask about Dana, probably knowing that they couldn’t meet again whether the latter was alive or not.

Dana could either be dead, or the Winston Family had forbidden her from meeting Lucy. Lucy was also clear that she would land Dana in trouble if they got together.

I’ll just treat her as if she’s dead.

Everyone tentatively avoided speaking about Dana in front of her. In fact, they stopped talking about the rainy night altogether. Sophia visited her in the hospital everyday, and Michael also paid her a visit once every few days.

Lying on the bed, Lucy told the visiting Michael straightforwardly, “I’m sorry about lying to you back then. I’d always loved Dana since I was in my teens. She was my first love. All the boyfriends I had throughout these years were just to cover up her existence.”

Michael smiled and shook his head. “Back then, I dated you only because you look like my mother.”

As they exchanged smiles, Sophia felt as though she had been cheated on. However, she knew very well that it was impossible for Lucy and Michael to be together again.

Hence, she just drank the chicken soup quietly. Sophia asked their nanny back home to make plenty of soups—chicken soup, duck soup, mushroom soup, vegetable soup, and corn soup—to bring it over for Lucy. She would bring over a huge pot each time. Lucy couldn’t finish it most of the time—she could only finish half of it. Hence, Sophia also brought a bowl and would help her drink the other half.

Lucy was the one recuperating, yet Sophia was the one who was putting on weight.

this moment, Lucy had a rosy glow on her cheeks. It was obvious that her body had been recovering well, and she seemed to be smiling. However, Sophia was the only person who could see the pain in her eyes. Every time Lucy smiled, the darkness was visible in her irises. She didn’t feel
