Nancy nodded, feeling comforted by her words.

Linda smiled, encouraging her further, "Moreover, Nan, think about it carefully, what was Lily's attitude towards you before? Did she particularly hate, loathe, or even detest you?"

Nancy exhaled slowly and nodded, "Yes."

"Then there you go."

Linda spread her hands, "A person who wishes you dead, why didn't she tell you those things earlier? Why wait until she was forced to? Think about it, if what she said was true, she would have told you when you were very young. This way, you would have lived a life full of guilt, self-blame, and sorrow, never coming out of it."

She snorted mockingly, "Do you think she didn't say it before to protect your fragile heart?"

Nancy pondered Linda's words carefully, considering every single word.

Yes, Lily hated her so much. If what Lily said today was true, given Lily's character, she would have told her these things when she was very young, not wait until today.

And Lily had never protected or stood up for her, so Nancy felt that Linda's analysis was spot on!

"Yes."

She brushed away her previous gloom, and her entire demeanor seemed revitalized, even her amber eyes sparkled with light.

"Linda, you're right. Things aren't as she said. I'll investigate the truth."

Seeing the light in her eyes, Linda breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's the spirit! If you stay sad and upset, you'll fall into Lily's trap, which would only make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy!"

"Hehe..."

Nancy laughed, pinching Linda's chubby cheeks, "You pinched me so many times just now, I have to get some interest back."

"Oh no... don't..."

Linda laughed and started playfully fighting with her, "My face is already so chubby. If you pinch it more, I'll become a big fatso!"

Nancy laughed until tears came out, "No, you're not fat, you're just a bit puffy, hahaha..."

"How annoying! I'm not fat! I just have a little more meat on my face. My body is very slim. I only weigh ninety-nine pounds, not even a hundred!"

Seeing the two of them fooling around, Charlie stood up with a smile, "Alright, I'll go handle the discharge procedures."

Henry nodded in admiration, "Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"

Charlie smiled, then walked out of the ward.

Michael's eyes were fixed on Linda, a pleasant smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"Henry, what's this girl's full name? She's so adorable. I like her a lot. I want her to give me a bunch of equally adorable babies!"

Henry's face stiffened, and he turned to look at him. When a man looks at another man, he sees the truth. Michael's eyes were practically glowing green, clearly the excited look of a hunter spotting prey.

Could it be that Michael had fallen for Linda at first sight?

Given Michael's decisive nature, once he decided on something, he would act on it immediately. Henry suddenly felt a strange feeling.

He didn't want Linda to fall into Michael's clutches!

So, he looked at Michael and said each word deliberately, "Her name is Smooth Lynn!"
