LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Half an hour later, Jun Chester and Lyvia arrived at Dirtmouth City Hospital’s Department of Neurosurgery. As soon as they arrived at the ward area, they encountered Lyvia’s adoptive mother, Carol Knowles. “Mom,” Lyvia called out. Carol Knowles was taken aback. How did her daughter become so beautiful? “Mom, what’s wrong?” Lyvia called out again, seeing Carol Knowles still staring blankly. Carol Knowles looked at the fairy-like Lyvia and said, “Lyvia, your face…” Lyvia glanced at Jun Chester beside her, her face full of happiness. “It’s all thanks to Jun.”

Carol Knowles was overjoyed, looking at Jun Chester, too emotional to speak. At that moment, a cold voice came from behind Carol Knowles. “Carol Knowles, hurry up and pay! What are you standing here for? Don’t tell me you have no money. Don’t think I don’t know how much your supermarket earns every year!”

The woman speaking was Karen Knowles, wife of Norman Knowles’ son, Robert Knowles.

Carol seemed to fear Karen, and awkwardly chuckled. “Don’t be silly, I’m going to pay right now!” Jun Chester and Lyvia couldn’t help but frown. Carol, however, pulled Lyvia’s hand and said, “Lyvia, you and Jun go in and see your grandfather first. I’ll go pay!”

With that, Carol quickly left the ward area. Karen’s gaze fell on Lyvia’s face, and she sneered. “Oh, isn’t this Don’s bastard? Your mom said youwere disfigured. It seems like you’ve gotten your looks back. I thought you would just be a burden to your mother for the rest of your life. Looks like you found a good man to take care of you.” Lyvia clenched her fists, anger boiling within her. Karen’s words were filled with malice.

Jun Chester stepped forward, shielding Lyvia, and said coldly, “You have no right to insult Lyvia or her mother. Be careful with your words.”

Karen scoffed. “Who do you think you are? Just because you’re good-looking doesn’t mean you can meddle in our family affairs.”

Jun Chester’s eyes narrowed. “I’m not just meddling. I am Lyvia’s fiancé, and I won’t allow anyone to belittle her or her family.”

At that moment, Robert Knowles arrived. Seeing the confrontation between Jun Chester and Karen, he asked, “What’s going on here?”

Karen quickly played the victim, saying, “Robert, this man is bullying me. He says he’s Lyvia’s fiancé, but I’ve never heard of him before. He must be trying to take advantage of our family’s situation.”

Robert raised an eyebrow, looking at Jun Chester. “So, you’re Lyvia’s fiancé?”

Jun Chester nodded. “Yes, my name is Jun Chester.”

Robert’s expression changed. He had heard of Jun Chester, the person who had made great contributions to Lordran. He couldn’t help but feel a little fearful. However, he still spoke arrogantly. “You may be someone important in Lordran, but this is a family matter. I suggest you stay out of it.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jun Chester shook his head. “Lyvia is my family, and as her fiancé, I have a responsibility to protect her and her mother from being treated unfairly.”

Karen snorted, unwilling to continue arguing with Jun Chester. She dragged Robert away, leaving Jun Chester and Lyvia to enter Norman Knowles’ ward.

Inside, they found Norman Knowles lying on the bed, frail and haggard. His eyes lit up when he saw Lyvia. “Lyvia, my child, you’ve become so beautiful.”

Lyvia held back her tears and approached her grandfather. “Grandfather, don’t worry, you’ll get better soon.”

Norman Knowles smiled weakly. “I’m old, Lyvia. My time is coming. But before I go, I wanted to see you happy, and it seems that you’ve found a good man to be with.”

Lyvia nodded, her voice choked with emotion. “Yes, grandfather, Jun is a wonderful person. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Jun Chester approached and held Norman Knowles’ hand. “Mr. Knowles, I promise you, I’ll take good care of Lyvia and ensure that she lives a happy life.”

Norman Knowles looked into Jun Chester’s eyes and nodded. “I trust you, young man. Thank you.”

As they left the ward, Jun Chester vowed to himself that he would not only protect Lyvia but also fight against the injustice that her family faced. No one would dare to look down on them ever again.

However, Norman Knowles did not care for Lyvia, because she was an adopted granddaughter. In his eyes, Lyvia was a jinx. Because of his prejudice, the entire Knowles family looked down on them.

Previously, Jun Chester knew nothing about this, but now it seemed that this family was beyond redemption. Before Karen could finish speaking, Jun Chester coldly looked at her. Just one glance. Karen was so frightened that she dared not continue. Jun Chester spoke coldly.

“You just said, who is the illegitimate child?”

Lyvia tugged at Jun Chester’s arm and whispered, “Forget it, let her be.”

Only then did Jun Chester withdraw his gaze. Immediately after, Lyvia led Jun Chester into the ward. Karen stared resentfully at the direction Jun Chester and Lyvia disappeared in, cursing under her breath.

“What a joke! The Chester family is finished, it’s not like before!”

“You clown!”

Inside Norman Knowles’ private ward, all the members of the Knowles family stared at Lyvia standing next to Jun Chester, unable to believe their eyes.

This…

This was Lyvia?

This was the Lyvia who had been in a coma for seven years, and who had recently been rumored to have been disfigured?

What on earth happened?

Not only was there nothing wrong with her face, but she had even become more beautiful than before.

“Lyvia, where did you get your plastic surgery?”

“Didn’t your father say you were disfigured by robbers with knives? It’s been less than a month, how did you recover so quickly?”

The whole Knowles family couldn’t believe it. Even Norman Knowles, lying in bed with a respirator, couldn’t help but open his eyes wide.

This was…

That illegitimate child?

How could this be?

What a pity!

Such a pity!

Although she was not a member of our family, after all, we raised her, and with her current appearance…

Even the wealthy children of the major families in Dirtmouth would fall in love with her, and if he could find her a good man…

Then the Knowles family would be prosperous!

What a pity…

He himself was in the twilight of his life, plagued by serious illness, and unable to do anything.

Robert Knowles looked at Jun Chester’s face with contempt.

“Jun Chester, how did you get here? Have you no shame?”

His words changed the atmosphere in the ward. Jun Chester frowned at Robert Knowles. Lyvia’s face also turned unhappy. Over the years, Robert Knowles had always bullied her adoptive parents. However, they were too kind-hearted and had never fought back against Robert Knowles. When she heard Robert Knowles speak to Jun Chester like that, Lyvia couldn’t help but want to lose her temper.

But at that moment, Lyvia’s adoptive father, Don Knowles, suddenly walked out of the bathroom. He had just washed the bedpan for Norman Knowles, who was lying in bed, and had obviously heard what Robert Knowles had said to Jun Chester. After coming out of the bathroom, he directly confronted Robert Knowles.

“He’s my son-in-law, coming to see Lyvia’s grandfather is only natural. How dare you still have an opinion?”

At those words, everyone in the ward looked astonished. In front of everyone…

Don Knowles had lost his temper like this?
