Chapter 90 Lilian Got Her Confidence Back
After convincing Lilian, Gianna took the money Nyla paid for the consultation and medication and left.
Riya followed after Gianna.
"Gia, it's lunchtime. Shall I buy you lunch?"
Before Gianna could refuse, Riya said, "I've been asking you to dinner before, but you haven't had time. I will feel so bad if I don't take you to lunch today."
"Old Mrs. Levine, I'm sorry. I can't have lunch with you today. I asked Ms. Nash to save me some lunch. My family has never had leftovers."
Riya was a little disappointed, but Gianna added, "Come eat lunch at my house if you don't mind. There're quite a lot of people eating at my house at noon. It's quite lively."
Four people from the Finley family came to lunch. Irvin came by every now and then. Including the Geller family, there were nine people eating each meal.
Riya's eyes lit up. "Can I go?" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Riya was just too bored. She hit it off with Gianna. It didn't matter where she ate lunch, but it was nice to have someone to keep her company.
"Sure." Gianna smiled, "Old Mrs. Levine, are you leaving in the same car as us or are you having your driver drive you there?"
Gianna saw a private car parked not far away. That was the Levine family's car. Gianna had seen it at the hospital before.
Riya saw Lloyd. "This is?"
"He's my fiancé, Lloyd."
"So he's from the Finley family..." The word loser almost came out of her mouth, and Riya hurriedly bit back the word she would like to have said.
Lloyd smiled and greeted Riya politely. "Old Mrs. Levine, nice to meet you."
Lloyd was polite and courteous, and Riya couldn't find fault with him.
"Hello," Riya said. Then her eyes fell on Lloyd's leg, and with just one glance, Riya realized what had happened to Lloyd.
Gianna had such good medical skills that she should be able to heal a cripple. Riya didn't ask too much about it.
"I'll go back in the same car with you guys." With that, Riya got into Lloyd's car.
At Judd's mansion.
Lilian came out of her room once Gianna and the others had left. Lilian was not used to the harsh light but felt a lot better.
Lilian walked into the living room and said to Nyla and Ellen, "Grandma, Mom! I'm sorry for making you worry. I will receive treatment from now on. Even if there is no cure, I won't be despondent anymore."
Nyla happily said, "Good! Good! My good girl! Ms. Geller really has something. After all this time, your mother couldn't still get you out of the tragedy, but Ms. Geller let you move on with just a few words."
Lilian smiled. Her smile looked a little ugly because of her facial disfigurement. "It's comforting to talk to Ms. Geller. She's right. It's not my face that's ugly, but those guys are ugly on the inside. Hiding is for the weak, but I am the granddaughter of the Judd family and the daughter of the Pyne family. I'm at the top of my class academically, and I have a pedigree that a lot of people can't compare to. That's what I'm proud of."
"I shouldn't waste my own advantage. I have to stand up. Only if I'm good enough will those people stop laughing and look up to me."
"Right! That's right!" Nyla praised. "You're right. Even if your face can't be cured, we have to let those people know that the Judd family's granddaughter is not a girl to be messed with."
Lilian nodded and said to Ellen, "Mom, can you go to the bookstore with me later? I want to buy some books. I need to study."
Ellen was startled. "Are you going now? But you..."
"I have already walked out of my room, and it means that I'm ready. Maybe I still feel uncomfortable with the look others give me at the beginning, but I will gradually get over it. I decided to learn while receiving treatment."
Ellen nodded when she saw that Lilian was as confident as ever. "Okay, but not now. I have to make a trip to the Geller's villa to settle the score with Alisa."
Ellen would make Alisa pay for lying to her.
"There's no rush on Alisa," Nyla said, "Lilian is your priority. You go with her to buy books first. In addition, I recently heard that Class 18 at Ranson High School has a new class teacher who really has something and got those monsters to obey her in just one day."
"And that class teacher invited Professor Booth's team to specialize in teaching Class 18. The educational resources of Class 18 outshine those of Lilian's school. I'm thinking of transferring Lilian to Class 18. Lilian is such an outstanding student, and if she is taught by Professor Booth's team, she'll have no problem getting accepted into Reland University."
Ellen did not object this time. "I listen to you."
Ellen didn't listen to Nyla last time and almost got Lilian killed.
The old saying was right. Most of what the elders said was right. Ellen thought it better to listen to her mother on certain matters.
"I listen to grandma." Lilian had heard of Professor Booth. Of course, she was very willing to study in his class.
"Alright. I'm going to contact the class teacher and apply for Lilian's transfer."
Lilian changed into a lightweight tracksuit and went out with Ellen.
They went to the bookstore downtown.
Lilian was so low-spirited and didn't bring any books with her to Rheinsville City. Therefore, she had to buy all the books again, and she had to do all the exercises.
No sooner had Lilian and Ellen entered the bookstore than someone passed judgment on them.
Although Lilian was prepared, she flinched when she was judged by others outside. But once she thought of Gianna's words, she lifted her chin, met the eyes of those who were looking at her, and walked forward with her head held high.
Lilian had only taken a few steps when she heard someone say, "She's so ugly! How does she have the nerve to go out?"
"That's right. She's a little hard on the eyes. She's so ugly. If I were her, I would simply die, so as not to affect other people's mood."
The speakers were two girls about the same age as Lilian, giving Lilian that mean face. Their voices were especially loud as if they were afraid that others wouldn't hear them.
When they finished speaking, many people around looked at Lilian.
Ellen was instantly enraged, and wanted to step forward and scold those two girls, but was pulled back by Lilian. "Mom, let me solve it myself."
With that, Lilian walked toward those two girls and said seriously, "I'm ugly, but you're ugly on the inside. I'm ugly but I've never hurt anyone. However, you insult me in the most vile terms. If I'm psychologically vulnerable and commit suicide because of what you said, you guys will be murderers. May I ask, won't you feel guilty after killing people?"
"Are you out of your mind? We didn't kill anyone," a girl glared at Lilian and said.
"You didn't kill anyone, but what you said is worse than killing," Lilian said with a calm face, "You're so mean and even assess me with prejudice."
With that, Lilian looked at the other girl. "You said just now if you looked as ugly as me, you would die. You ungrateful little brat! Your parents gave your life, and you should tend to your own body. Did
you think about your parents when you said you were going to die? I am ugly, but I will not die. I'm alive and well, and your vicious words will not hurt me anymore."
"Because you're nothing compared to me!"
Lilian used to think about dying, but she stopped this line of thought now.
After Lilian finished, she left with Ellen, leaving the two furious girls standing where they were.
