The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1293

"Lilian Becham!"

Mango rushed forward and grabbed Lilian's arm before asking angrily, "You! Did you let Augustus go?"

"That's right."

Lilian confessed everything immediately.

She admitted her actions so calmly in front of many people, so Mango was stunned.

"Do you realise what you're saying? What on earth are you trying to do? Lilian, you are Maverick's wife! Why did you do this? Wait, who ordered you to do this? Maverick is still in a coma, so don't you dare harm him."

Mango exclaimed as she couldn't understand Lilian's intentions.

If Lilian was working for Augustus, she wouldn't have treated Maverick that well a few years ago. Furthermore, why didn't she tell Augustus to attack Nathaniel and Mango when they were in the ancestral hall?

As long as she reported their whereabouts to Augustus, the latter could catch them immediately, and both Nathaniel and Mango would have no chance to escape!

Wait, perhaps Lilian didn't do so at that time because they wanted to use them as bait to find out where Morgan was?

Mango's heart skipped a beat at this thought.

If that was the case, Lilian was too cunning! What about Maverick? Did he know about Lilian's true colours?

The questions ran through Mango's mind, but she couldn't find an exact answer.

Meanwhile, Lilian remained calm and indifferent as she replied emotionlessly, "Take me back."

Mango was speechless when she heard this.

"Lilian, if you're facing any struggles, you can tell me about them."

"No, I'm not."

Lilian's responded calmly. However, Mango was very irritated by her nonchalant attitude.

After all, Lilian was the one Maverick cared the most about, so that latter had specifically asked Nathaniel to take care of him. However, it seemed that she had changed drastically.

Mango was depressed, but there was nothing she could do. Then, she said to the person beside her, "Bring her back. Be careful not to hurt her."

"Lilian Becham, this way please."

The bodyguards looked at Lilian in a different light as they said this.

Meanwhile, Lilian walked past Mango as if she didn't see her.

"Where did you send Augustus to?"

Mango wanted to salvage the situation, so she couldn't help but ask.

However, Lilian replied faintly, "I don't know. I was just responsible for sending him out of the village, and I'm not involved in other things."

After hearing that, Mango looked at Lilian's calm expression and let out a depressed sigh. Then, she waved her hand and ordered someone to bring Lilian back.

However, she did not lock Lilian up in the cave. Instead, the latter was imprisoned in Maverick's room.

Mango wanted to prevent Lilian from doing anything crazy, so she took away all of the sharp weapons in this place. In fact, she didn't even leave a single pillow behind.

After that, the house immediately became silent again.

Maverick was still asleep, and no one knew when he would wake up. However, his complexion was healthy, and he looked much more handsome.

Then, Lilian sat down beside him with mixed emotions in her eyes.

After that, she reached out and gently stroked Maverick face while whispering, "You're blaming me for doing this, don't you? After all, you think that I'm working for Augustus, right? Alas! Maverick, when will you wake up? I hope that you regain consciousness soon, but I'm afraid of that too. Heh. Maybe I shouldn't have fallen in love with you. Falling in love with you was a mistake, and I have thought about leaving you, too. But you'd be even depressed without me. After all, I am your only family."

Lilian's eyes turned a little teary as she spoke.

Although Maverick had the heir to the Abbott family, he was almost a slave!

Well, Lilian knew that she should not sympathise with Maverick nor should she fall in love with him. However, she couldn't control her feelings for him. Hence, she fell head over heels for him every time he saved her from trouble.

When Lilian first got pregnant, she was scared

and terrified.

For the first time, she felt sorry for her parents and her ancestors. How could she give birth to her enemy's grandchild and betray them. How could she do this?

Therefore, Lilian schemed everything so that Maverick would think that Augustus killed her child. Then, she tried to sabotage the relationship between Maverick and Augustus.

Now that she thought about it, she couldn't bear to hurt Maverick was because she loved him too much.

She fell in love with the wrong man, but she couldn't undo this mistake anymore.

At this thought, Lilian started sobbing uncontrollably. She laid in front of Maverick's bed and whispered, "Look, I didn't intend to kill this child. It doesn't matter whether you believe me, but I didn't think I would get pregnant. Alas! Why did this happen? I have already taken the contraceptives, though. Maverick, I'm not a cruel person, but I have poison in my body because I saved you previously. Thus, I got pregnant even though I thought that would never happen. This child is very likely to be born with a disability or malnourished. How can I let my child be born like this? So don't blame me for this. Even if I can't give birth again in the future, I will not let the child come to this world to suffer. Maverick, this may be God's will. Well, the one thing I'm sure of is that we can never be together. No matter how much I love you, we're still not destined to be together, right?"

While saying this, Lilian sobbed and choked on her words. However, she did not notice that Maverick, who was sleeping in the bed, had budged slightly. He even struggled to open his eyes, but failed to do so.

Meanwhile, Lilian was tired of crying and she wiped her tears away. After cleaning up, she also wiped Maverick's face with a hot towel.

She wiped his face gently, just like a virtuous wife. However, now that she had awoken from her dream, so she had to face reality.

At this thought, Lilian looked at Maverick reluctantly. She leaned down and kissed his lips gently. Then, she whispered, "Maverick, I love you. I really do, but I can't be with you. You should forget about me and start all over. You can find a beautiful girl again. Now that you've recovered from the vermin, you can give birth to tons of children with another woman, isn't it? However, I hope I can meet you in my next life and fall in love with you once again."

After that, she got up slowly and looked at the morning glow outside with a relieved smile on her

lips.

"Dad, mom, grandpa, grandma, and all my dear family members! I'm coming to accompany you guys soon. Wait for me!"

Then, Lilian took out a pack of powder from her pocket and poured it into her mouth without hesitation.
