Chapter 668 - The New Home (1/2)

They arrived at the hospital, and as usual, L had to cover herself with a hat, sunglasses, and a scarf that covered half of her face. Her face was plastered on a large Virconnect billboard across the street as London parked his car in the hospital courtyard. The billboard just went up today. If L didn't cover her face, surely everyone would recognize her right away.

The East Wing of the Metropole hospital had been reopened to the public when they arrived, so L was not suspicious and did not know that during her stay there, she was the only patient in the east wing.

The Schneider family had just finished visiting Lily when London and L arrived, and they almost passed each other in the lobby. Fortunately, Rune called his brother in time so that he swiftly complained of hunger and invited L to lunch at the hospital cafe first.

Seeing the man looking so sad and starving, L finally relented and accompanied him to eat a sandwich in the cafe while she secretly drank tea.

After making sure that his family had returned home, London accompanied L into Lily's room. Their baby was still awake, and as usual, she got fed using the tube because she still had not been able to suck on her own. Her eyes were also covered by a blindfold because she was very light s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e.

Doctor Alice shared with them a report on Lily's latest condition and asked the two new parents not to worry. Lily's health had improved, even far exceeding the expectations of her own doctors.

London believed all of that was the result of the medicine Lauriel gave to his daughter. He felt so indebted to Lauriel.

They sat in Lily's room and waited by her side for several hours, without saying anything. Their feelings could not be described in words. London realized that Lily's very difficult birth made him and L bonded. Now, they had a closer relationship than before.

They were both filled with fear and sadness due to Lily's condition. Now L felt that the only person who understood all of her worries is London, and vice versa.

London still had a lot of questions about L's past and what was her true relationship with Danny Swann. Still, he didn't want to risk making L stress and affect her b.r.e.a.s.tmilk production for Lily. Therefore, he could only hold back.

He even ordered Jan to distance himself from Danny, so that his tracks wouldn't be found by Danny Swann. He was afraid that Danny would tell L that the man who had been with her was actually London Schneider himself.

He would give L time to settle her matters with Danny. In the meantime, he would improve his image before the girl: he must 'find a job' and within three years make more money than L so that L would finally accept his proposal.

Because L just gave birth, her body was still weak, and London always forbade her from doing any work. She could only rest and pump. That was all.

All of the renovation matters were handled by London, while Pammy took care of the financing. Thus, L was not involved in the work of preparing the new house. Pammy only consulted her opinions occasionally by phone about a few trivial matters.

That's why she had no idea that in just four days, Pammy told her that their new home had been completely renovated and was ready to be inhabited.

”Are you serious? It's only been four days, no??” L asked in surprise.

Pammy, who delivered the good news, only glanced at London, who was sitting next to L while sipping his tea. ”Killian is very efficient, and he helps a lot. Everything could be done faster.”

Ah, Pammy wouldn't miss the chance to bootlick the big boss here and there, so that L became impressed. She knew that London was quite generous in giving gifts to employees who worked well.

London just smiled and raised his eyebrows proudly when he heard Pammy's praise. Jan was a very efficient and helpful assistant, but without his instructions, obviously, Jan would not be able to successfully complete this project in just four days.

So, yeah... he had the right to take the credit ... hehehe.

L looked at him while frowning. ”You know anything about construction?”

London nodded. ”Yes, I once worked on a construction project ...”
