The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 64 A Marriage He Never Chose

Nancy's flawless, perfectly composed face was now tight with tension and anxious hope. James reall called you?”

Nancy asked, her voice trembling.

Blanc, usually the calm and unshakable businessman, looked visibly rattled. His fingers were shaking, He turned

a cold stare on Ivan. “If you're messing with me, | swear, you're gonna regret it

“I'm not!” Ivan looked downright offended, like he’d just been wrongly convicted of something. Dad | swear I'm

telling the truth. Look-check the call log” He quickly handed over his phone. James really calledjust now.

But... | think there's skind of misunderstanding with Lily. He said she-he said she assaulted him. He told me

to call the cops.”

“What did you just say?” Blanc snapped.

“That little brat is out of his damn mind-treating his wife like that? I'm going up there to knock ssense into

him!” Henry growled, already on his feet.

At first, when they saw the call log on Ivan’s phone and realized James was really awake, Henry and the others

were genuinely overjoyed.

But the second Ivan mentioned that James wanted Lily taken to the police... Henry's expression turned to fury.

Grace didn’t believe in miracles. But she did believe in love-and presence. Maybe what James needed wasn’t

another specialist. Maybe he needed something real. A steady voice. A warm presence. Someone who would talk

to him like he was still there, who would treat him like a person, not a patient.

When Lily agreed to marry into the family-knowing James might never open his eyes-Grace took it as a sign. She

didn’t say it out loud, but deep down, she hoped Lily's kindness and quiet strength might reach him. And then he

woke up. To Grace and Henry, that wasn’t luck or timing. It was Lily.

And now their ungrateful grandson had the nerve to treat her like a criminal? No chance they were letting that

slide.

The four of them stormed upstairs, furious. Ivan hurried after them.

Down the hall, in the room, Lily had finally pulled herself together.

“I didn’t assault you,” she said, trying to sound calm, though her heart was racing. “I was just helping you clean

up. That's all.”

He cut her off with a cold laugh. “Oh,please,” he sneered. His voice was icy, his expression colder. “Don’t tell me

my mom asked you to do it. She knows | don’t like being touched by women. She knows my boundaries. If

anyone was supposed to help me, it would've been a male nurse or an assistant. So go -tell me. What else have

you done towhile | was out?”

“I...” Lily's lips parted, but she couldn't even get the words out.

Because the truth was-his mom really had asked her to do it.

And now here he was, accusing her of crossing the line, threatening to have her arrested. It was like a nightmare.

But she couldn't even blhim.

Put yourself in her shoes-if she'd been in a coma for over four years and woke up to find sguy stripping her

down, his hands all over her...

Yeah, she'd freak out too.

“I said,” ca voice from the hallway, “who are you accusing of assault? Who do you think you're sending to

the cops?”

Lily was racking her brain, trying to find the right words to clear up the misunderstanding, when Grace and the

others stormed in, faces full of fury.

James had pushed himself upright on the edge of the bed, breathing hard.

The moment they saw his eyes open, Grace and the rest were instantly choked up with emotion.

But then they saw Lily, frozen and uncomfortable, standing stiffly at the foot of the bed. Grace's eyes narrowed.

She turned back to James, furious. “It was Nancy and | who asked Lily to wipe you down. Lily’s your wife-what'’s

wrong with her cleaning you up? You were a mess. Honestly, only someone as kind as Lily would've agreed to

marry into the Luke family just to help you recover. She's a great girl. You'd better treat her right and cherish her.

If you ever hurt her, I'll make sure your grandpa and your dad deal with you-and trust me, you won't like it.”

James blinked, startled. “Did you just say... wife? Grandma... what are you talking about?”

He'd never been into women. Never cared. He thought he’d go his whole life without ever falling for anyone, and

he was fine with that.

But three months before the accident, he’d met someone online. A girl named Leila.

She'd meant to add her senior on Instagram but typed the wrong usernand accidentally messaged him

instead.

And somehow... they just clicked. They talked about everything.

He couldn’t believe it either.

He'd even started thinking maybe... maybe she was the one.

The day before the accident, he was planning to tell her how he felt.

Who would've thought a single car crash would put him in a coma for nearly four and a half years?

Now he was awake, and everything was wrong. He'd opened his eyes to a woman he didn’t recognize-a total

stranger touching him. And now everyone was saying they were married?

His heart twisted with rage and confusion. He'd promised himself he'd stay loyal to Leila. He wasn’t supposed to

be with anyone else.

He couldn’t take any of this!
