Chapter 112 Mr Austin’s Request
The car soon pulled up to the Shanks family estate.
At the entrance, Madam Tina was already waiting.
Finished
As soon as Lilian and Rina stepped out, Madam Tina took Lilian’s hand with a warm smile. “You little rascal, why haven’t you come to visit me in so long p>
Lilian offered a gentle smile. “I’m sorry, I’ve just been so busy lately and haven’t had a chance to come see you p>
Though Madam Tina’s warmth was genuine, Lilian still wasn’t fully used to it. Her teacher had always treated her well, but after the betrayal in her past life, she no longer dared to hope for too much.
Rina looped her arm through her mother’s and teased, “Mom, I’ve finally figured it out-you forget all about your real daughter the moment you see Lilian p>
“You jealous little thing.” Madam Tina flicked Rina’s forehead and laughed, then turned to Lilian. “I know how busy you are, sweet girl. I’ve been taking Skyreach Group’s wellness supplements ever since they hit the market. I’ve stuck with them, and now I feel full of energy every day—and my skin has gotten so much better! All my friends are asking what I’ve been doing, and I told them straight up. Now they’re all loyal Skyreach Group customers too p>
Lilian smiled. “Thank you for your support. Everything’s been sorted out now. But, ma’am… did you know you’re pregnant p>
She had seen it the moment she laid eyes on Madam Tina.
Madam Tina froze, clutching Lilian’s hand in disbelief. “Lilian, what did you just say p>
Rina’s eyes went wide with excitement. “Wait-Lilian, did you just say my mom’s pregnant? Really? Is she p>
Lilian smiled at the two of them. “She is. It’s still very early, so it’s not showing yet, but if you get checked at the hospital soon, they’ll confirm it p>
Just then, Mr. Austin and Houston came down the stairs-and happened to hear exactly that.
Houston rushed over. “Lilian, is that true p>
Mr. Austin looked just as tense, watching her closely.
Lilian nodded. “Yes. She really is pregnant p>

Houston practically burst into tears, throwing his arms around his wife. “Tina, did that? You’re pregnant. You’re pregnant p>

you hear
Madam Tina’s eyes brimmed with tears as she nodded. “Yes… pregnant. I’m really pregnant p>
After more than a decade of trying, she had thought it was impossible. She never imagined it would finally happen.
Mr. Austin thumped Houston hard on the back. “What are you getting so excited for? Your wife’s pregnant-be gentle p>
Only then did Houston realize what he was doing. He quickly let go and guided Tina to the couch. “From now on, your only job is to rest. Don’t worry about anything else. Whatever you want to eat, just tell me-I’ll get it for you p>
Rina bumped Lilian’s arm and whispered, “Look at my dad-he’s acting like Mom is made of glass p>
Lilian’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “Well, your parents are clearly very in love. You’re about to be a big sister-how does that feel p>
Rina sighed dreamily. “Like a dream. But seriously, thank you, Lilian. You really are our family’s lucky star. Without you… I don’t know what we would’ve become p>
She meant every word. Meeting Lilian had changed everything. Without her, Rina didn’t know how much longer she could’ve held on. Her mom wouldn’t have gotten pregnant, and who knew what would’ve happened to their family?
Mr. Austin walked over, his voice kind and sincere. “She’s right, Lilian. You really are our blessing. And I truly want to thank you again p>
That night, when Madam Marilyn returned and heard the news of her daughter-in-law’s pregnancy, she treated Lilian like some kind of deity-so much so that Lilian was a little embarrassed.
After dinner, Mr. Austin invited Lilian to the study.
“Lilian, I actually have a favor to ask,” he said seriously.
“Please, go ahead,” Lilian replied.
Mr. Austin hesitated, choosing his words carefully. “I have a friend. His situation is… delicate. They’ve brought in top doctors from both here and abroad, but there’s been no improvement. I was hoping you could take a look p>
Lilian didn’t hesitate. “Alright. Let’s go tomorrow p>

Relieved, Mr. Austin smiled. “Good. A private jet will pick us up p>
“Ajet? We’re flying?” Lilian asked, surprised.
“Yes. He’s in Kingston. Someone will come to get us p>
…Kingston?” Lilian’s expression froze.
It had been so many years since she last returned to that place-the place where her nightmares had begun.
Mr. Austin noticed her change in expression. “Lilian? What’s wrong p>
She quickly snapped out of it and forced a smile. “It’s nothing. Tomorrow’s fine p>
inished
As she left the Shanks estate and sat in the car, staring out at the night beyond the window, her eyes darkened.
She never thought she’d be returning to that place so soon.
