Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 

After the thought of divorce had taken root, Lily spent most of her time in a daze, only feeling truly engaged when she was absorbed in her work

At that moment, she couldn’t focus on a word Maryanne was saying, her mind consumed with the fact that Terence had helped her get into Lupler

Maryanne had no idea about Terence’s connection to Lapler, so Lily decided to ask him directly the next time they met

Two hours later, Lily completed a series of tests and retuned to the doctor’s office, where she held her blood test results and ultrasound report

You have a hormonal imbalance, which is causing your irregular menstruation,the gynecologist said after quickly glancing at the results

He picked up the ultrasound report, examined it further, and asked, Are you married?” 

Lily nodded. Yes, but we’ve always used contraception.” 

Have your stress levels been particularly high lately? Are you dealing with a lot?The gynecologist observed her complexion closely. Yes,Lily replied, lightly touching her cheek. Even though she saw her face every day, she could tell she looked more haggard recently

The gynecologist wrote out a prescription. It’s not a serious issue. You just need to manage your stress, try to relax, and take some herbal medicine. It won’t harm your body, and even if you were to get pregnant unexpectedly, it wouldn’t affect the baby_” 

Lily tuned out the last part, and her mind went elsewhere. She picked up the two boxes of pills from the pharmacy and left the hospital with Maryanne, carrying the medication bag 

How about we grab a bite? Maryanne linked her arm with Lily’s, reluctant to let go. It’s been so long since we’ve had a meal just the two of us.” 

Though Terence had a gentle temperament, he valued rules, so Maryanne had learned to temper her behavior around him

Thinking of Hazel at home, Lily didn’t want to go back.Sure. Let’s walk down the street and get something to eat.” 

Despite the cold, her thick jacket kept her warm, and holding hot food while strolling down the lively street brought a sense of comfort. Maryanne parked round the comer, and the two got out of the car, holding hands like they had back in college, chatting and looking for food

The street was brightly lit, alive with the sounds and smells of street food, packed with mostly university students

When they reached the end of the street, their hands were full of snacks. They settled on a bench, bundled up in their thick jackets, eating and chatting happily. Terence’s back, so I’m free now,Maryanne said, sipping her milk tea. I was hoping we could spend more time together, but work always gets in the way for you

Lily leaned back on the bench, holding a baked potato and gazing at the starry sky. I used to envy you so much, always wonderingdid I really have to be a housewife forever

“I used to tell myself that marrying a man like Xavier, someone so outstanding, and giving up work for him, was worth it. But now, I think having a career is pretty 

To this day, Lily still thought highly of Xavier. It was just a shame that he didn’t love het

If you think it’s good, then I support you,Maryanne said, I hope you become an amazing designer. When you do, I’ll be your little follower, and I’ll always be your friend.” 

She handed Lily a cup of milk tea and leaned against her shoulder

Lily smiled. At that moment, she felt an overwhelining desire to escape Xavier. She longed for a life without him- no more struggling with his presence and thinking about him, a life where he wasn’t everywhere

Just a little longer. The onemonth cooling off period was almost over

Speaking of the coolingoff period, Maryanne couldn’t help but start another rant

Marriage is so easy to rush into. You just decide to get married without thinking it through

But divorce……. that’s something you come to after a long period of torment when both people realize they’re completely incompatible. It’s a decision made after deep reflection, so why even bother with a coolingoff period?” 

Complaining was something Maryanne oftendid

Lily was listening intently when her phone suddenly rang in her pocket, when she saw who was calllug, her brows luitted instinctively
