Chapter 622: Chapter 625: Hannah Ford is a Liar (Extra 3)

“Hannah Ford knew all along that the necklace didn’t belong to her, and she was not the little girl who once saved my life!”

Aidan Lucas looked at Bella Scott with fierce, unmerciful eyes.

Like a sharp, ice-cold blade striking directly at her weak heart.

“She is nothing more than a deceiver, a liar! The old heart disease caused by my rescue was merely a lie she made up just to take advantage of me.”

“Such a woman, a shameless and despicable trickster. Pardon my frankness, Mrs. Ford, but I don’t think there’s anything about her that’s worth your constant protection.”

“No, it’s not…” Bella knew that everything Aidan was saying was true.

Even more so, she knew secrets that she can never disclose.

But what of it?

Motherhood is always about defending one’s own child.

To her, Hannah was a child she nurtured and cared for with all her heart.

No matter how big of a mistake she makes, Bella would irrationally stand by Hannah’s side.

Bella… simply couldn’t bring herself to accuse her like a stranger would.

“Hannah is still young, she can’t be blamed for these affairs. I am at fault, it is all my doing… I failed to teach her well. No, not just me, you too… Noah, you’re also at fault.”

Bella’s tears and snot flowed freely down her face as she sobbed.

She pointed at Noah and accused, “Noah, it’s because you were always so cold and indifferent to her. Hannah didn’t feel secure!”

“That child, she came from an orphanage, she lacks a sense of security. She was only afraid of being abandoned by you, which is why she made up those lies…”

“Think about it, back then, if it weren’t for Aidan’s care, Hannah’s health would have collapsed!”

What Bella said was partly true.

Back then, Noah was quite impatient with Hannah, and it was Aidan who took care of her.

Hearing Bella’s accusations, Noah was somewhat moved.

Indeed, he wasn’t a good father.

Because of his selfish desires, he let a child bear many burdens that she shouldn’t have had to handle.

For a while, the hospital room was filled with crying and sighing.

Aidan watched with cold eyes, suddenly feeling that this family was indeed a family; they were just alike.

He suddenly stood up and headed towards the door.

Oliver saw his actions and immediately followed, “Mr. Cooper, where are you going? The matter isn’t settled yet, you can’t just leave…”

Aidan created a distanced between them with a cold demeanor.

“As long as your family is loving, there’s no need to concern yourselves with where I’m going.”

“What are you saying, Mr. Cooper? You’re my brother-in-law, you’re a part of our family. How can we not…

His words were cut off by Aidan. “I’m sorry, but Lily didn’t acknowledge your identities. So, to be precise, we’re not a family yet.”

“Aidan, you…”

“Just call me Mr. Cooper, I’m not used to having unfamiliar people call me by my first name.”

“Also, when your family has made a decision, remember to send someone to update me. I’m curious to see if the outcome you come up with will consider the injustices this will cause Lily.”

Hannah was still young, still naive, and only did those things under the pressure to protect herself.

What about Lily then?

Did Lily deserve to go through all of those?

Although Aidan always knew that there were many ‘righteous’ people in this world just because they were weaker.

But those people have nothing to do with him.

The only ones he needed to protect were Lily and their child.

As for Hannah… if the Ford family wasn’t ready to give him an explanation, he would have to take matters into his own hands.

The conversation ended on bad terms.

The Ford family was unable to come to a resolution, and Aidan refused to give them the chance to see Lily Gray.

Until a few days later when Hannah woke up.
