Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 487
Chapter 487: Chapter 490: Only Aidan Lucas is an Exception
A sudden realization hit Aidan Lucas, as he recalled Lily Gray’s words from just before.
She said… Austin Lucas was her husband…
The moment those words came to mind, that heart-wrenching pain struck once again.
Piercing pain spread from his very core.
It felt like a sharp blade ruthlessly stabbing into his heart.
Aidan Lucas could only feel the pain in his heart intensifying with every passing moment.
“Mr. Lucas, are you alright…?”
Jacob noticed the cold sweat on his forehead and the slight trembling of his body.
He was afraid that this tall and well-built man would collapse the next second.
“No…I’m fine…” Aidan Lucas forced himself up and took a step forward.
He couldn’t fall down like this, and he couldn’t give up either.
If he falls now, who would protect Lily?
She has lost her memory; she’s forgotten everything.
He must protect her…

Aidan Lucas kept Lily Gray’s temporary amnesia due to the kidnapping and head injury a secret.
However, in order to help her regain consciousness as soon as possible,
he followed the doctor’s advice and invited some of her closest friends to visit her in the hospital.
Skye Brown, David Redington, Emily Taylor, and even Ellie, Dylan Wellington, and Lena Hammond.
Everyone deemed safe and able to help with Lily’s memory recovery after careful selection was allowed to see her by Aidan Lucas.
Among them, Skye Brown and Lena Hammond were her acquaintances from over three months ago.
So when Lily Gray met them, she was just as warm and friendly as before.
And when meeting others,
aside from the initial shyness and unfamiliarity,
after Skye introduced them and their respective roles, Lily only needed a little time to accept them.
Oh, she didn’t show any shyness toward David Redington.
On the contrary, she stared at him with starry-eyed idolatry.
After all, just three months ago, she was one of David Redington’s adoring fans.
Aidan Lucas secretly felt angry at how close Lily seemed to David Redington.
He is, after all, currently the only exception in Lily Gray’s life.
Because right now, aside from Aidan Lucas, she could accept closeness from anyone else.
But the moment Aidan Lucas approached her, she would become nervous and scared, curling up and trembling in a corner as if wanting to hide.
Even though everyone, including Skye, told her that Aidan Lucas was her husband and their baby’s father,
Lily Gray still stubbornly refused to accept Aidan Lucas.
If Aidan Lucas tried to force himself closer to her,
she would definitely hide behind someone else if there were other people present.
If no one else was around, she would curl up in the corner of her bed and shiver.
If Aidan Lucas still insisted on approaching her, she would pitifully hold her head and sob quietly.
Over time, not only did Lily Gray appear mentally exhausted,
even Aidan Lucas seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight as well.
“Aidan… continuing like this is not a solution. I asked the doctor, and Lily’s current state is indeed normal.”
In the living room of the Lucas family’s mansion, Emily Taylor was earnestly persuading Aidan Lucas.
“Think about it, her memory is stuck several months ago. One moment, she thinks she’s another man’s wife. The next second, we’re telling her you’re her real husband. And, that there’s already a baby in her belly from both of you… even Mom wouldn’t be able to accept that so easily.”
