GoodReadChapter 437 Hayden's biggest mistake was always believing that even if Bobby and Hazel did something wrong, they would immediately repent the moment they realized their mistake.
When Hazel and Bobby had mentioned that they didn't want Lily to be alone in the hospital and wanted to celebrate Christmas together, Hayden had softened at the thought of how harmonious their family used to be when there had been no conflicts.
He longed for Lily to receive fair treatment and warmth from their parents even more than she herself did.
Lily had tried once or twice not to shatter Hayden's naive perception, but after three or four attempts, she realized that even when Hayden saw the truth, he still clung to his illusions. So she no longer knew how to convince him to turn back before it was too late.

"Since you've already arranged everything, let's not argue," Lily replied, not wanting to start a fight.
Twould eventually show Hayden whether there truly were parents who didn't love their children and whether Bobby and Hazel were merely "extreme" in their actions.
Within half an hour, Hazel arrived first. Carrying a thermal food container, she smiled at Hayden as she entered before walking over to Lily.
"How's your hand? When will it heal?" Lily moved her right hand slightly. The swelling in the fingers had gone down, and it looked much better than when she had first been injured.
"I'll be discharged in a few days. After that, I'll just need to cback regularly for rehabilitation," she said. Hazel set the thermal food container down. Hayden stood up, intending to help unpack the pies, but Hazel stopped him.
"I'll do it. You just take it easy," Hazel said.
She then brought out the pies to the coffee table and began setting out the cutlery.
She said to Hayden, "You're already so busy with work, so you should cut back on the hospital visits. Now that you've finally got sfree time, just rest at home. I mean, Lily is fine now, isn't she?" "Mom, let's eat at the bedside table," Hayden said, unfolding the small table attached to the hospital bed and patting it. "There's enough space here, and that way, Lily won't have to get out of bed." at the table but didn't Hazel glanced at stop what she was doing. "No, that won't be necessary. Lily hurt her hand, not her legs. She can walk over here. Otherwise, she'll be sitting alone while the rest of us stand. How would that look?" "Mom-" Hayden's voice grew heavier.
"It's fine. I'll get out of bed," Lily interrupted, not wanting to cause a scene.

Hazel shot Hayden a look, as if annoyed by his fussiness.
Then, she turned back to Lily with a forced smile Lily, I knew you'd understand. Let's not dwell on who was right or wrong in the past. When your dad gets here, just soften up a little and say something nice to him. There shouldn't be any lasting grudge between father and daughter, right? "He's heartbroken about what happened to your hand. If not, why else would he cto the hospital to see you? He's just not great with words." Hazel had cahead to pave the way for Bobby to get out of an awkward situation. But doing so meant forcing Lily to back down so Bobby could save face at her expense.
"Is the company in trouble?" Lily's tone was almost certain as she cut off Hazel's rambling.
"Yeah, and it's good you finally noticed!" Hazel's tone shifted m instantly and beclaced with accusation. pecayou hadn't lied to us about the divorce, your dad wouldn't have reached out to the Thompson family. "Now Bruce is in jail because of you, and his family has turned against us, causing a mess for the company." Hayden's expression darkened. "So at the end of the day, you still think it's Lily's fault? You were so nice when you cin. If you're going to act like this, we might as well not have this meal!"
Hazel felt aggrieved. Bobby had been complaining to her, blaming everything on Lily. But since Lilyen hadn't actually divorced Xavier, they needed to mend their relationship with her. That was why she had been sent here.
But with Hayden defending Lily so fiercely, Hazel couldn't vent her om frustrations or say what she really wanted to say. In the end, she felt like she was bearing all the bland constantly being scolded. She gave up. "Fine, I won't say anything more. Let's just have a nice family meal and put all this behind us." Lily sat on the couch with her legs crossed, the hem of her pants riding up slightly to reveal her slender ankles.
