Chapter 368
Chapter 368 Ariana’s Apology
Ravenwood Manor
In the master bedroom, Sebastian remained in a deep sleep.
Lillian carefully tended to the long gash on his arm, nearly twenty centimeters in length, its severity enough to make anyone flinch.
Louis and Foster stood nearby, fetching water and preparing fresh bandages.
As Lillian cleaned the wound, tears slipped silently down her face, falling one by one onto Sebastian’s hand.
Her quiet sobbing stirred the hearts of those watching.
At last, the wound was cleaned and dressed. Foster looked at her and asked gently, “Ms. Harrington, are you alright p>
Lillian wiped the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand and answered softly, “I’m fine. These are only surface wounds. The poison has already been forced out. If nothing unexpected happens, he’ll wake up tomorrow p>
Foster let out a long breath of relief. “Thank goodness. If we hadn’t gotten there when we did, the consequences would have been unimaginable p>
“Where’s Triny?” Lillian asked coldly.
Foster lowered his voice. “When we arrived, she was unconscious. Boss was on the ground beside her, blood everywhere. Knowing his temper, he must have knocked Triny out to keep her from causing more trouble, then cut himself to stay awake p>
Lillian glanced at the man on the bed, then stood and walked to the window. Outside, the sky was dark and heavy, not a single star in sight. The oppressive air weighed on her chest. Black clouds pressed down like they were ready to crush the city. A storm was coming-it could no longer be held back.
The next day.
Lillian awoke to the sound of torrential rain.
Outside the window, the storm raged. Wind howled, fat raindrops pounded against the glass; and the trees in the courtyard thrashed violently in the gale.
A knock came at the door.

“Come in,” Lillian called.

A servant stepped inside quietly and bowed. “Ms. Harrington, Mr. Evan has arrived with Ms. Whitmore. Mr. Louis asked me to let you know p>
“I understand,” Lillian said. She rose from bed, washed up quickly, and went into Sebastian’s
room.
He still lay unconscious, but his complexion was already much improved-no longer the deathly pale of last night. The wound on his arm had begun to scab.
Lillian sat beside him, leaned down, and brushed her lips against the corner of his mouth. Her eyes softened with longing. “Don’t sleep too long. Otherwise, I’ll start to worry.” She studied him for a moment longer before standing and heading downstairs.
In the living room, Evan sat on the sofa, his expression solemn. Ariana sat stiffly beside him, visibly ill at ease.
When he saw Lillian, Evan forced a smile. “Lillian, you’re awake. I hope we didn’t disturb
rest.
Lillian returned the smile politely. “Not at all p>

Her gaze shifted to Ariana, and with deliberate calm she asked, “I wonder, Mr. Whitmore, what brings you here today p>
Evan’s expression grew slightly awkward. “About last night… Ariana was foolish and let herself be used. I brought her here today, first to apologize to you, and second to check on Sebastian p>
Lillian’s eyes held a mocking glint as she looked at Ariana. “I recall Ms. Whitmore insisting last night that she knew nothing at all. If she truly knew nothing, then what is there to apologize for p>
Evan sighed deeply, then said to Ariana, “Go on. Tell her everything you did last night p>
Ariana’s eyes darted nervously to her grandfather before she repeated the entire story once more. When she finished, her face flushed with embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I was soft-hearted. Triny has loved Sebastian for so long and only wanted a chance to confess. I didn’t think it would end like this. I truly didn’t expect such
such consequences p>
