Chapter 254 We Were Truly Over
Lillian held onto Lyra, urging, "Grandma, I know you care for me and want the best for me, but Jackson and I have already registered for divorce. We are truly over. Please let them be. Let's go back, shall we? I beg you."
Her expression was calm, with even a faint smile at the corners of her lips. She appeared composed and indifferent as if she had completely let go and didn't care at all about what would happen between Jackson and Wendy. Nor she look like a wife betrayed by her husband, and she looked completely indiferrent.
Jackson had asked Lillian to persuade Lyra to leave because he was concerned about Lyra's health. He knew that at this moment, only Lillian's words would be effective. However, he hadn't expected her to persuade Lyra in this manner.
Now, seeing Lillian speak so lightly about their divorce and indifference towards him and Wendy, Jackson's face turned extremely grim, and his grip unconsciously tightened.
Wendy felt as if Jackson was about to crush her kneecap. She gritted her teeth against the pain and looked up at him. Seeing his tightly clenched jawline and his barely concealed calm expression, she was driven mad with jealousy.
Just moments ago, when she was lying on the ground covered in blood, Jackson had come to hold her without even a frown. Could Lillian's few words affect him this much? What did she lack compared to Lillian, which made both Jackson and Lyra look down on her so much?
"Did you already register for divorce?" Lyra asked. She was deeply shocked by Lillian's words for a long time. She had seen how deep the love between these two were. She thought their talk of divorce was just a phase, something that would pass. She never expected that they had actually registered for divorce. This was truly the end!
"Yes, Grandma." Lillian confirmed with a nod.
Lyra felt an overwhelming fatigue wash over her.
At this moment, a few more people emerged from the elevator, hurrying towards them. It was Martin and Daisy, with another couple behind them. A refined middle-aged man was pushing a wheelchair, and his wife, who had obvious eye problems, was wearing sunglasses even in this environment, sitting in the wheelchair being pushed.
These two were Jackson's godparents. They had been in Jeffrey's room and had come over as soon as they got the news. Daisy hurriedly stepped forward, anxiously checking Wendy's injuries, and asked, "Wendy, is the child..."
Wendy bit her lip, choking back tears as she shook her head. "Luckily, Jackson arrived in time, and I managed to protect my child. The child is still here."
"That's such a relief!" Daisy said with gratitude. She showed concern for Wendy without sparing a thought for Lillian, her daughter-in-law.
Martin frowned, his face stern as he addressed Jackson, "What is going on? Get Wendy out of here immediately. Don't let Lyra get upset again. If she falls ill because of your incompetence, I will certainly teach you a lesson!"
Though he was reprimanding Jackson, he was actually protecting Wendy, urging Jackson to take Wendy away.
Even Jackson's godparents, the Prices, stepped forward to persuade Lyra.
"Mrs. Frane, the young people have their destinies. Jackson is not a reckless person. Let them handle their affairs."
"This's right. Mrs. Frane, your health is the most important. It's not worth getting so angry. By the way, Jeffrey just woke up and said he wanted to see you. Let's go see him together."
