members of the Flying Dragons soon noticed Priscilla had escaped. They wanted to capture her, but Lilith stopped them.
Willow was also aware that it was useless to beg Derek. Thus, she turned back and returned to
her car.
“Willow, take the woman and leave! Hurry!” Lilith instructed. She was using all her strength to stop the men from going to them.
But Willow could not bear to leave Lilith. “Mom! What about you?”
“Hurry up and leave! Don’t worry about me! Otherwise, none of us can walk away from this place!” Lilith yelled back.
The events had taken a turn for the worse. So, Willow dared not waste another second. She
told Priscilla, “Quick! Get in the car!”
The latter was already frightened. Hence, she did not hesitate and climbed into the car.
At the same time, Willow got into the driver’s seat. “Mom, get in!”
However, Lilith was firmly holding onto several men. It was impossible for her to break free.
“Go now! Just leave!” she shouted.
This was Willow’s first time encountering such a situation. She was terrified and wanted to
take Lilith with her.
Yet, at that moment, there was no way Lilith could escape. Left with no choice, Willow had to go first.
She planned to call the police for assistance after leaving. If she were to delay, neither she nor Priscilla could escape.
Tears welled up in Willow’s eyes as she hurriedly reversed the car. At that moment, Derek spotted her. “Don’t let them get away!”
He wanted to go after her in his car. But unfortunately for him, two cars were blocking in front
and behind.
Billy noticed they were fleeing, too. Then, he shouted furiously, “Don’t let those two ladies escape!”
Several members of the Flying Dragons rushed out immediately. Seeing that, Lilith brandished her knife and started to stab everyone.
Some of the men were less vigilant. As a result, they sustained minor injuries. Taking

“Kill her! How dare she meddle in my business! She’s a crazy woman!” Derek barked. Both
Willow and Priscilla had run away before his eyes, which intensified his anger.
The other thugs soon realized they could not catch up with Willow. They turned back to Lilith before venting their frustrations on her.
Derek even exited the car himself to attack Lilith. He physically assaulted her to release his
anger.
“You jerk!” Lilith cursed as she threw the baton in her hand. The baton landed right on
Derek’s head.
“Ouch!” he yelped while touching his forehead. Right then, fury filled his eyes. “B**ch! End her!”
On the other hand, Willow drove Priscilla to a street. After that, she told the latter, “Get down now! Call the police and have them send help!”
“Alright, I’ll get to it right away. Thank you for helping me,” Priscilla replied panickedly.
After she exited the car, Willow turned around again. She could not leave Lilith behind, no
matter what.
Priscilla proceeded to call the police.
At that moment, Lilith was lying on the ground. She had multiple stab wounds, and around her was a pool of blood. She could no longer defend herself.
“You shouldn’t have been a busyb*dy. So, now you know what the consequences are, huh?”
Derek remarked.
“You scoundrels! When Caspian returns, he’ll surely avenge me!” After saying that, Lilith spat
out a mouthful of blood.
Derek was feeling smug. “How dare you talk back to me! What can your good–for–nothing son do? I’ll definitely break his legs if he has the guts to find me!”
“You’ll face karma for what you’ve done!” Lilith said through gritted teeth.
But Derek merely waved his hand. “Just end her already! I don’t want to listen to another word of her nonsense!” he ordered.
The members of the Flying Dragons were intimidated by Lilith’s resilience. Moreover, she was now covered in blood. They knew that if they attacked her, then they might be implicated.

“What a useless bunch! Give me the steel pipe! I’ll do it myself,” Derek snarled.
The men abided by his instructions and found him a steel pipe. Derek took it over, weighed it, and raised it high before striking Lilith hard.
“Die, you bitch!” he yelled.
With a loud thud, blood started to flow down from Lilith’s head. On the other hand, Quentin drew a short knife, charged toward her, and repeatedly stabbed her.
There was blood all over Lilith’s b*dy. And at that moment, she was nearly unconscious. Yet, the thugs had no intention to stop.
Even at that point, Billy still stepped forward and kicked her several times. Just like that, a resilient woman now lay in a pool of blood.
Blood continued to flow out from her b*dy, leaving a large stain on the ground.
“Mr. York, I’m sure she’s dead. Let’s go! What bad luck to encounter a woman like her,” commented Quentin.
Derek agreed, “Okay, let’s go.”
With that, the group turned, got into their cars, and left the park.
Not long after Derek and the others left, Willow rushed back to the scene. She was shocked as soon as she laid her eyes on the blood–stained ground. Moreover, Lilith was lying in a pool of
blood.
“Mom! Mom!” Willow yelled while running over. Upon reaching Lilith’s side, she could not help but cover her mouth. Then, she burst into tears.
Lilith had suffered multiple stab wounds. The sight of her b*dy was gruesome.
“Mom, please, hang in there! I’m calling the ambulance. Please don’t scare me!” Willow pleaded. She knelt on the ground, hugged Lilith tightly, and sobbed.
Lilith’s life was hanging by a thread. She mustered all her strength to whisper. “Willow, I–I won’t make it. Take good care of yourself and Caspian. I hope you’ll give birth to a healthy, chubby baby.”
“Mom, you’ll be fine! I’ll get help immediately!” Willow answered with tears streaming down
her face.
Lilith responded, “Don’t bother. I won’t make it. But I’m worried about many things.
“Remember, wait until Caspian returns to tell him about this. You must keep this in mind,” she weakly instructed.
“Why can’t I let Caspian know?” Willow asked with confusion.

Lilith suffered numerous injuries, and she was losing a lot of blood. Yet, she insisted, “Just remember what I said.”
Despite not knowing Caspian’s real identity, he had once told her he was an officer. That was why he frequently led troops in battle. She knew if he found out about her accident, it would
affect his duties.
Caspian was fighting on the front lines. It was a dangerous place. Hence, Lilith would never let anything happen to him because of her.
She understood him well enough to know that he would rush back immediately to seek revenge for her. That was why she told Willow to keep it a secret for now.
“Okay, I got it,” replied Willow.
“Don’t be sad, Willow. I was a Girl Scout when I was younger. So, I’m considered half a soldier, “Lilith comforted.
She added, “That’s why I couldn’t stand by and do nothing in such a situation. But I don’t regret it.”
Upon hearing her words, Willow cried, “Mom, I’m sorry! I should’ve spent more time with you. It’s all my fault.
“You’ll be fine. I’ll make sure to spend more time with you.‘
Lilith smiled weakly in response. “You’ve been good to me during this period, and I’m content. I’m happy that Caspian has married a great wife like you.”
The more she comforted Willow, the harder it was for the latter to accept it. Willow was aware that she had been overwhelmed with work recently.
She felt that she had failed to show more concern to Lilith. That was why Lilith became Kate’s target of mockery. Yet, Lilith never complained.
It was late at night, and suddenly, it began to drizzle. The rain washed away Lilith’s blood, and it flowed down the street.
Willow witnessed Lilith taking her last breath. Seeing her die in her arms hit Willow hard.
“Mom!” Willow cried. She felt as though her heart was breaking into pieces. However, this time, Lilith could no longer respond.
For a moment, Willow could not bring herself to accept the truth. She never anticipated that Lilith would die trying to save someone after leaving the villa.
Before Caspian left for South Aridlands, he had asked Willow to look after Lilith. But she had failed to fulfill this responsibility.

All this happened because her own mother had chased Lilith out of the villa. Willow had no
idea how to explain everything to Caspian when he returned.
