Uncle Ox didn't expect Lily Shaw to suddenly change her attitude; her cold demeanor at this moment made him somewhat concerned.
He wasn't new to interacting with high society; he knew very well that there were countless ways these upper-class people could torment a person.
He only wanted to protect the woman he loved most, not wanting Megan Shepherd to suffer, as if repaying a debt owed to her from years ago.
"Uncle Ox, I have something to do, I'm heading back. Rest assured and recuperate in the hospital, I won't forget the promises I've made to you," Lily Shaw said with some indifference in her tone. She didn't want to see the man she regarded as strong as a mountain looking at her with such pleading eyes.
"Lily, thank you." Uncle Ox watched Lily Shaw resolutely turn and leave. As she prepared to close the door, his eyes gleamed, and he hurriedly called out, "Lily, as long as you promise me you'll protect her, you won't owe me anything after today."
