A Walk in the Garden

After the talk with Lucas, Lillian felt lighter and was back to her cheerful self. The migraines were gone for the moment but she received an earful from the doctors for the stress she put herself under. Thankfully, her parents were in the dark about it. Natasha had called her and asked to meet but Lillian lied to her, claiming that she was going to a dinner party with her colleagues that night.

In the past, whenever Lillian had migraines, her parents would become too worried. They had to take her to the hospital several times and she loathed staying there. The attacks lessened as she aged and she did not suffer from one for the past five years. Until now.

But Lucas insisted on keeping her at the hospital for two more days. She wanted to protest but shut her mouth after he threw a threatening glare at her. Even if she was the motormouth in their relationship, Lucas could silence her with one look.
