Vivian sat to the side, her voice low. “She must hate us. Why else appear now, of all times? Not sooner, not later-she chose the auction, just to slap Henry in the face. And now look at us. The entire circle is laughing at the Sinclair family. We’d hoped to use this for momentum before next month’s product launch, but it’s all ruined p>
Her words darkened Beth’s expression further. She muttered bitterly, “Just like her mother… a cursed star p>
At Ravenwood Manor, the atmosphere was heavy, no trace of the usual warmth.
In the hall, Fawks studied Sebastian’s stormy face. “She still hasn’t woken up p>
Sebastian shook his head. “No p>
“What does Dr. Will say?” Fawks pressed.
Sebastian leaned back with a sigh. “Her body’s fine. She just… doesn’t want to wake up p>
The answer only deepened Fawks’ frown. More worrying than illness was the will to stay unconscious. And Lillian’s revealed parentage had left him reeling-Sinclair Group’s Henry’s daughter, of all things.
“Maybe bring in a psychologist,” he suggested cautiously. “If all that buried resentment finally burst out, it could’ve driven her into this state p>
Sebastian shook his head firmly. “No. She’s exhausted. Sleep will heal her. When she wakes, it’ll be behind her.” He rose and headed upstairs.
Opening the bedroom door, he found her still as ever on the bed. He lay down beside her, his eyes tender as he brushed stray strands of hair from her forehead. His deep voice was soft. “Lillian, wake up soon, won’t you? We promised each other the rest of our lives. I’ll wait for you p>

Lillian finally woke on the third day.
A shaft of sunlight spilled through the windows, carrying the freshness of rain-washed air.
Her lashes fluttered like butterflies before her eyes opened fully.
Though she had seemed asleep all that time, she had heard every sound around her. She simply hadn’t wanted to wake.
She had thought herself strong. But facing that man again, the flood of old hatred had

That man she had once called father-too many memories were gone, and what remained were only his cold eyes and the indifference he’d shown her mother.
Even so, her mother had never wanted her to hate him.
She remembered her mother’s words: Lillian, don’t hate your father. Whether he loved me or not, he gave me you. And for that, I’ll always be grateful.
So foolish. Foolish enough to be pitiful.
Life after life, she had hoped, only to be disappointed, until she was finally left with despair- and disowned.
At the thought, tears welled up, slipping down her cheeks into her hair.
The door opened softly. Sebastian stepped inside, and seeing her eyes open, his face lit with relief. “Lillian-you’re finally awake p>
She met his worried gaze and gave a small nod. “Yes. I’m awake p>
He sat at her side, gently wiping away her lingering tears. “That’s all that matters. But never scare me like that again p>
She shook her head faintly. “I won’t p>
Her awakening lifted the gloom from the manor. Smiles returned to faces that had been shadowed.
Louis grinned as he saw Sebastian carrying her downstairs. “Awake at last-that’s wonderful p>

“Of course. Everything’s ready,” he replied quickly, hurrying off toward the kitchen.
