Chapter 28 - Madam Li's Assumption

"He came for business matters assuring that the reconnection between my father's company and the Li group was on good terms. My father was not home so he left shortly afterward." Lena made a white lie.

Lena slightly turned red from making such a big lie and covering up what really happened. However, Madam Li saw it as she was blushing.

Madam Li smiled. 'So she was the one who gave her son a big love mark that night?'

Kris Li came home late and drunk that day. It was the very few times that he had been so drunk that Collin had to carry him home. Madam Li did not mind Kris drinking but being drunk is a different story.

Madam Li was scolding Collin very fiercely. Kris had been out drinking lately and she did not like it. Kris never shared his troubles and feelings to her… If only his father was still alive then maybe Kris wouldn't be so closed off.

Collin was being yelled at but he knew that he would. He will get yell at no matter… it was just a matter of who does the yelling. He rather have Madam Li scold him that Kris beating him up for not allowing him to drink.

When the maids were cleaning up Kris, they reported back to Madam Li that he got hurt on his neck. Madam Li went to see it herself and saw that it was a big love mark. And a recent one too!

Little did she know that it was a bite mark. Kris had rubbed the area so much that night that it turned bright red. Her eyes went bloodshot red and called Collin late afterward, demanding for answers.

She wanted to know which slut dared touched her son. Is this why he was so drunk tonight? However, to her surprise, Collin mentioned Lena Shen. With that, Madam Li stop scolding and instead asked for more information.

Collin did not speak anymore because he did not know much and Kris would not tell him what happened. So, Madam Li made her own assumptions.

Her son went to visit the young miss and return home drunk and with a love mark? Obviously, there is a relationship between the two!

Madam Li was exploding with happiness inside. She was sure to help her son this time!

Without warning, Madam Li suddenly lost her balance. Lena quickly leaned and supported her before she could fall onto the ground.

"Are you ok? Let me call someone over." Lena urged.

Madam Li blinked a few times to regain her sight. She must have been too excited and intense emotional changes can be bad for her health. She may look healthy but her body was not 100% ever since she woke up from the coma.

"No need. I don't want to make a scene."

Lena understood. It would cause an uproar if she fainted here. Plus, it would not have been for her too as the host.

"Then let me take you somewhere to rest."

Lena led Madam Li to a room and told a few workers to get her some water. After some rest, Madam Li was better.

"Are you sure you do not want to go to the hospital?"

"It's fine. It is best if I return home. I will have my personal doctor check me instead."

"Alright. How about I have someone send you home. It will make me feel assured if you got home safe."

Madam Li smiled at Lena. Lena Shen was just being nice without knowing that Madam Li was already thinking about grandchildren.

"Then I won't deny the offer."
