Don remained silent as he stared at the file then he sighed softly.
“She doesn’t know anything about it because if truly she knew, you and I know her fingerprints would have been found on the file.” Be went further to say.
“If you don’t believe me, you can check it out again yourself.” She said again, stepping away from the table.
She pointed to the electric board that had the fingerprints on it. The one signifying Lillian’s showed red on the board.
She had secretly taken a scan of Lillian’s fingerprint when she went to visit her in the cell.
Don nced at the board as he let out another sigh, realizing his mistake. He was just punishing an innocent soul, while the real culprit was probably roaming around freely.
“So, you now get what I am saying. She was framed.” Be said finally.
“Tell Rex and Draco to meet me in the living room right now.” Don finally said, turning slightly to Drake. Drake bowed and left.
Don continued to stare at the board for a few seconds before he walked out of the room. Be followed behind him in a haste.
They got to the living room and met the guards already standing there.
“Rex, release Lillian and the both of you should follow me.” Don ordered and left with Draco and Drake.
“Yes!” Be said in a smile as she threw a fist in the air. She exhaled sharply before leaving in a hurry to meet with Rex.

“Aishh.” Lillian winced out in pain.
“I’m sorry.” Be repeated as she cleaned up the wounds on her knee. The blood was already dried up, so it was difficult to wipe it off without hurting her.
“Sorry, I’ll be done in a few seconds.” She said again applying ointment on the injury.
“And I’m done.” Be said, clicking her tongue. She began to pack up the items on the bed, putting the used ones in a used box.
“How did you get this?” Be said, referring to the injury on her knee as she finished packing up.
“I hit my knee on the wooden part of the bed when he pushed me off.” Lillian replied lowly and she sighed.
“Look, I’m sorry for…” Be tried to say.
“There’s nothing to be sorry about, you weren’t the cause in the first ce.” Lillian chipped in as she gently ced her foot on the cold floor.
“I want to thank you for believing me and also helping me out of this mess. I’ll be forever grateful.” She said truthfully, turning to Be.
“It’s nothing. You’re my sister-inw, and it’s like my duty to protect you from danger any day, anytime.” Be assured in a small smile.
“You are such a sweetheart.” Lillian replied, returning the smile. She suddenly engulfed Be in a hug, and she reciprocated. She hissed out in pain when Be mistakenly touched her wounded knee and they disengaged.
“Oops, sorry.” Be said in a little whisper.
“Gosh, my brother is such a jerk for doing this to you.” She groaned out as she sucked in her breath before exhaling.
“But, is this how he is when he gets angry?” Lillian asked lowly, staring at the mattress as she remembered how he pped and pushed her.
“Mmmmm” Be hummed, bitting on her lower lip.
“Well, when he gets angry, he tends to do some terrible things and for you, he thought you betrayed him, else he wouldn’t have done that to you.” She exined as she sighed at the end of her statement.
“And on his behalf, I say a deep sorry to you. I hope you forgive him and forget this for my sake. He just proceeded with what he saw without investigating though I know he was still going to do that anyway but it still doesn’t change what he did and once again, I say I’m sorry.” She stated, forming a thin line on her lip.
“It’s fine.” Lillian mumbled quietly.
“I hope you didn’t miss me too much while I was away.” Be joked with a smile.
“You know the answer to that already.” Lillian replied, returning the smile and Be chuckled.
“I heard you were done with the driving lessons, but I would like to hear from you directly, how was it?” Be said, joining her hands together under her chin.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
“Well, it was fine. I mean, Drake was patient with me all through, so it wasn’t difficult.” Lillian replied, forming a thin line on her lips.
“I see.” Be said, nodding slightly as she clicked her tongue.
“He also told me about it and for it, I have a little gift for you.” She added in a cheeky smile.
“Really?” Lillian asked, raising a brow.
“Yeah.” She replied with a nod.
There was a knock at the door, diverting thedies’ attention.
“Come in, it’s not locked.” Be voiced out after taking a quick nce at Lillian.
The door opened, and the doctor came in.
“Oh, Dr.” Be announced as she stood up from the bed.
“Mrs Dean?” The doctor called out, approaching them.
“How are you doing now?” He asked, finally getting to where they were.
“I’m doing fine, doctor.” Lillian replied with a nod.
“Well, your husband asked me to check up on you.” He said, smiling at her.
“Huh?” Lillian didn’t know when that left her mouth.
“Yes Mrs. Lillian, he called me here to check up on you. I think he is feeling remorseful.” The doctor whispered thest part and Be chuckled while Lillian widened her eyes in surprise.
“Alright doctor, I would leave you now to do your job.” Be said, picking up the things she came with as she stood up.
“Lillian, I would see youter.” She said again and left the room.
On her way downstairs, she met her brother climbing the stairs. She paused in her steps, waiting for him to get to where she was and when he did, he tried to ignore her by walking past her, but she blocked him.
“I can see you’re trying to seek her forgiveness but don’t want her to understand what you’re doing, it’s a nice trick, you know.” She said, clicking her tongue.
“But getting the doctor to treat her isn’t enough. From my opinion, I think you should get her a nice gift and maybe take her out on a nice treat, that way she might fully forgive you.” She said again and winked at him before she walked away.
