My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

Chapter 182 

1/1 

Loid’s expression darkened when he heard that. “You’ll never see another drop of alcohol in this house again.” 

That was outrageous. Lily had been unconscious for three days, and the first thing she asked for when she woke up was more alcohol. He decided he would stow every last bottle 

away. 

Lily was speechless. She rubbed her temples and said, “Actually, I can drink some alcohol.” 

She wasn’t an alcoholic. She just liked drinking alcohol. Drinking could help her alleviate her frustration when she was in a bad mood. 

“You’re not allowed to drink anymore!” Loid said resolutely. 

Lily relented. “Alright.” 

She stood up and walked over to Melanie. Then, she placed her fingers on Melanie’s wrist to check her pulse with a serious expression. 

After a while, she withdrew her hand. “Melanie is fine now, but it will take some time for her damaged organs to recover.” 

After pondering for a while, she went to her bedroom to get a small ceramic bottle, which she handed to Melanie. 

“Hold on to this bottle of pills and keep it on you at all times. Take one if your life is ever in danger. It’ll save your life.” 

“This is too valuable. I can’t possibly take it.” Melanie frantically tried to give it back to Lily. 

She could never forget how much that bottle of SIgnora Cream was worth. It was 50,000 dollars for such a small bottle. 

The bottle of life–saving pills would probably be worth way more than that. 

It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford that amount. She was just worried that the pills were hard to make and Lily wouldn’t have any left for herself if she gave them to her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Just take it. I can make more at any time. It isn’t that much trouble.” 

Lily put the bottle in Melanie’s hands, pursed her lips, and said, “If you want to thank me, just give me some herbs.” 

Tears shimmered in Melanie’s eyes as she accepted the pills. 

Naturally, she understood Lily’s gesture of goodwill. Lily didn’t want her to feel pressured, so she just asked her to give her some herbs. 

“But…” 

Melanie wanted to say something, but Stefan patted her shoulder and said, “Just accept the gift. She’s giving it to you because she sees you as family. She probably wouldn’t give. these pills to an outsider.” 

Stefan knew that Lily was a skilled medical practitioner. Nonetheless, her skills still surpassed his expectations. She was able to save someone from the clutches of death. 

She was probably among the best medical practitioners in the country. The medicine she gave was precious. 

If the others in Bridgeport ever found out about it, they would try to get their hands on the pills. 

Lily gave them something so valuable because she saw them as her family. Since they were family, there was no need to hold back. 

Naturally, they would also provide Lily with the best of everything in return. 

“Alright. I’ll take it.” Melanie decided to accept the bottle of pills after thinking about it. 

She also made up her mind to start traveling around in search of rare and expensive herbs. Since Lily loved medical research so much, Melanie decided she would provide her with more herbs so she could attain greater heights in the medical field. 

Shaun had a lot of questions for Lily, but Melanie didn’t stop talking with her, so he didn’t get the chance to ask. 

He waited anxiously and finally snapped. He pulled Lily over and asked, “Lily, please tell… tell me if you’re Shadowbane.” 

As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at Lily except Loid. 

He seerned to have figured out Lily’s identity but didn t hring it up. Shaun just couldn’t hold himself back anymore.
