Chapter 681: Chapter 684: Madam Lucas Returns (Bonus 4)
The next day, Lily Gray slept in again until the sun was high in the sky before reluctantly getting out of bed.
At Blue Bay Estates, even though Hannah Ford had only stayed in the guest room, Aidan Lucas had ordered a renovation to avoid any discomfort for Lily.
So now, she, Aidan, and Ben had temporarily moved back to the Lucas family’s mansion together.
“Young Lady, you’re awake.” Ellie saw Lily come downstairs and greeted her with a smile.
Emily Taylor held little Ben from the nursery and said cheerfully, “Lily, you must have been exhausted last night. Ethan went to the company early this morning and asked us not to disturb you. Go eat something first, then come play with Ben.”
“Aww, look at Ben. He’s so adorable! His big, bright eyes remind me so much of when Ethan was little!”
Lily was initially embarrassed, but hearing Emily talk about Ben, her full attention was drawn to the baby boy.
She forgot her embarrassment and went to Emily’s side to play with baby Ben together.
Her son was too adorable… a mini Aidan Lucas. Though his eyes weren’t completely open yet, she just couldn’t help but find him cute!
Most importantly, Aidan, that scoundrel, would only tease her.
But her son was different. He would just smile happily at her!
Seeing Madam and the Young Lady playing with the young master, Ellie forgot everything else.
Particularly when the Young Lady hadn’t eaten anything after waking up – just trying to entertain the child.
Ellie chuckled with her hand covering her mouth, then thoughtfully brought out some breakfast for the Young Lady to eat while she played with the baby at the same time.
These warm and intimate moments happened frequently in the Lucas family’s mansion in recent days.
Time flew by quickly, and soon it was time for Madam Lucas to return home.

“Young Lady, Madam Lucas has arrived outside. Please take little Ben down for her to see him. She’s been missing him so much, and she’ll be delighted to see him,” said Ellie.
Lily was in the nursery with Ben at the time.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed, and Ben was now almost four months old and had learned to roll over.
“Alright, I’ll take him down to her right away.”
Madam Lucas had been living as a vegetarian at the Azure Dragon Temple since her retreat, and even when Ben was born, she didn’t leave the temple.
Emily told Lily that there seemed to be some hidden reasons behind this.
Originally, it would have been some time before Madam Lucas would return from the temple.
However, she came back earlier than expected this time, most likely due to her deteriorating health condition.
Lily didn’t know what illness Madam Lucas had, but she sincerely prayed for her long life and good health.
Madam Lucas had been very kind to her, and Lily always kept that in her heart.
Upon hearing Ellie’s words, Lily held Ben in her arms and went downstairs.
She hoped that seeing Ben would improve Madam Lucas’s mood, making her happier and healthier.
…
“Lily, come quickly, bring Ben to grandmother,” Madam Lucas said as she entered the mansion.
Emily Taylor called out at the side, her face wearing a faint smile.
“Ben, come on, give grandmother a big smile.” She held Ben and almost didn’t recognize Madam Lucas upon seeing her.
Lily couldn’t help feeling a little shocked – Madam Lucas seemed to have aged so much all at once.
When Madam Lucas saw Ben, her pale face suddenly filled with smiles, “Is this my great-grandson… Ben? How handsome! Absolutely stunning!”
Madam Lucas was delighted, her eyes even brimming with tears.
However, her eyes, filled with both joy and the signs of aging, cast a dark shadow as they passed over Lily’s face.
