“Lily? You’re Lily? Are you human or ghost?” someone who knew Lily exclaimed.
I didn’t know Lily, but I had heard about her history with Ethan.
While everyone was still questioning whether Lily was real or not, Ethan suddenly pushed me aside and rushed over to her.
It happened so suddenly that I lost my balance and fell to the ground, my palm landing directly on some broken glass. Blood immediately started flowing.
“Is it really you, Lily? How are you here?”
Ethan’s eyes were red as he held Lily tightly in his arms, completely ignoring me on the side, injured.
The pain in my heart was far more lethal than the pain in my hand.
“Bro, your girlfriend is still here,” the guy who had been joking earlier reminded Ethan quietly.
To everyone’s surprise, Ethan then picked up the bottle of beer from the table and smashed it over the guy’s head without hesitation.
“Get your medical expenses from Shaw Corp. As for our previous business deal, consider it void.”
His eyes were filled with coldness. Though he didn’t spell it out, everyone present could hear the warning in his tone.
The man had just been giving Lily a hard time, and Ethan was making an example of him, showing that even after seven years, Lily’s place in his heart remained unshakeable.
No one in the room dared to speak, and no one came to help me up.
Lily had been kneeling where there was broken glass too, and now her knees were bleeding.
Without a word, Ethan took off his jacket and draped it over Lily’s shoulders. Then, in front of everyone, he put his arm around her waist and
picked her up.
Lily curled up in his arms, her slender body shaking with sobs, evoking sympathy from those around.

This intimate scene was like a knife twisting in my eyes.
He left in a hurry, only giving me a calm glance and saying flatly, “Lily’s hurt. You can go home by yourself.”
