Seeing that Bodger was about to go after James, Luna quickly held him back. Then, putting on her elder tone,
she turned to James and said, “We want you to divorce Lily for your own good. A few years ago, Lily accidentally
fell into the river. It was freezing, she was on her period, and injured. After we pulled her out, she had a high
fever for nearly a week. The doctor said... said she was in the icy water too long and will most likely never be
able to have children. James, you're a good kid-how can you marry an infertile wife?”
Lily's face turned ghostly pale, like someone had dusted her with white powder.
Luna was twisting the truth.
Four years ago, Lily hadn't “accidentally fallen” into the river. Bodger had taken a group of people to beat, her
and thrown her in himself.
She could swim.
But every tshe made it to the riverbank and tried to climb up, someone would kick her back in. Eventually,
her strength gave out and she passed out. Only then did they drag her out.
She had been in that icy water for far too long. When she woke up in the hospital, she vaguely remembered a
doctor saying she “couldn’t...” The rest was whispered, and she hadn’t heard the full
sentence.
So what the doctor meant at the time... was that she wouldn't be able to have children.
Lily had long since lost faith in love. She didn’t think she'd ever trust someone again, let alone want a child.
But not wanting children and not being able to have them-those were two entirely different things.
Seeing the dark expressions on Grace and the others’ faces, Lily knew the divorce wouldn't have to wait six
months anymore.
Grace and the others had clearly been hoping to set her up with James.
But the Luke family was a top-tier family-there was no way they'd want a granddaughter-in-law who couldn't
have children.
She was sure if she asked for a divorce now, Henry would wholeheartedly agree.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad—I’m willing to divorce James.”
Lily paused, then added, “We can go to the civil affairs office right now.”

“Lily, what nonsense are
you
saying?”
Grace was flustered. “You're the granddaughter-in-law I've chosen. Who said you could divorce James?”
“If James can wake up from being in a vegetative state, then your body can heal too. And even if you really can’t
have children, so what? The Luke family doesn’t have anything that needs inheriting-we're not

obsessed with carrying on the bloodline. Besides, I've got three grandsons. Even if James can’t have kids, the
others can. You don’t need to feel any pressure. Children will find their own fortune. And if there are no children,
then you and James can enjoy life!”
“She's right, Lily. Don’t stress about it. Just let things happen naturally,” Nancy added, gently holding Lily’s hand
and comforting her.
Nancy and Luna had been college roommates, once very close.
But over the years, Luna had done too many things Nancy couldn't stand, and their friendship had gradually
faded.
Once they grew distant, Nancy hadn't kept up with the Ginger family and didn’t know they had led the bullying
against Lily.
Even so, without knowing the details, she already disagreed with Luna's words.
After soothing Lily a little more, Nancy turned a sharp, cold gaze on Luna.

“Nancy, what are you saying?”
Luna knew Nancy didn’t always approve of her, but she hadn't expected her to say something so harsh.
She didn't want the Luke family
thinking she was deliberately
attacking Lily, so she quickly said, “I

“You really are sick in the head.”
Nancy's voice turned even colder as she looked at Luna.
