They arrived at the hospital, and as usual, L had to cover herself with a hat, sunglasses, and a scarf that covered half of her face. Her face was plastered on a large Virconnect billboard across the street as London parked his car in the hospital courtyard. The billboard just went up today. If L didn't cover her face, surely everyone would recognize her right away.

The East Wing of the Metropole hospital had been reopened to the public when they arrived, so L was not suspicious and did not know that during her stay there, she was the only patient in the east wing.

The Schneider family had just finished visiting Lily when London and L arrived, and they almost passed each other in the lobby.?Fortunately, Rune called his brother in time so that he swiftly complained of hunger and invited L to lunch at the hospital cafe first.

Seeing the man looking so sad and starving, L finally relented and accompanied him to eat a sandwich in the cafe while she secretly drank tea.

After making sure that his family had returned home, London accompanied L into Lily's room. Their baby was still awake, and as usual, she got fed using the tube because she still had not been able to suck on her own. Her eyes were also covered by a blindfold because she was very light s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e.

Doctor Alice shared with them a report on Lily's latest condition and asked the two new parents not to worry. Lily's health had improved, even far exceeding the expectations of her own doctors.

London believed all of that was the result of the medicine Lauriel gave to his daughter. He felt so indebted to Lauriel.

They sat in Lily's room and waited by her side for several hours, without saying anything. Their feelings could not be described in words. London realized that Lily's very difficult birth made him and L bonded. Now, they had a closer relationship than before.

They were both filled with fear and sadness due to Lily's condition. Now L felt that the only person who understood all of her worries is London, and vice versa.

London still had a lot of questions about L's past and what was her true relationship with Danny Swann. Still, he didn't want to risk making L stress and affect her b.r.e.a.s.tmilk production for Lily. Therefore, he could only hold back.

He even ordered Jan to distance himself from Danny, so that his tracks wouldn't be found by Danny Swann. He was afraid that Danny would tell L that the man who had been with her was actually London Schneider himself.

He would give L time to settle her matters with Danny. In the meantime, he would improve his image before the girl: he must 'find a job' and within three years make more money than L so that L would finally accept his proposal.

***

Because L just gave birth, her body was still weak, and London always forbade her from doing any work. She could only rest and pump. That was all.

All of the renovation matters were handled by London, while Pammy took care of the financing. Thus, L was not involved in the work of preparing the new house. Pammy only consulted her opinions occasionally by phone about a few trivial matters.

That's why she had no idea that in just four days, Pammy told her that their new home had been completely renovated and was ready to be inhabited.

"Are you serious? It's only been four days, no??" L asked in surprise.

Pammy, who delivered the good news, only glanced at London, who was sitting next to L while sipping his tea. "Killian is very efficient, and he helps a lot. Everything could be done faster."

Ah, Pammy wouldn't miss the chance to bootlick the big boss here and there, so that L became impressed. She knew that London was quite generous in giving gifts to employees who worked well.

London just smiled and raised his eyebrows proudly when he heard Pammy's praise. Jan was a very efficient and helpful assistant, but without his instructions, obviously, Jan would not be able to successfully complete this project in just four days.

So, yeah... he had the right to take the credit ... hehehe.

L looked at him while frowning. "You know anything about construction?"

London nodded. "Yes, I once worked on a construction project ..."

Yes, Schneider Group had built resorts, hotels, offices, even big infrastructure. Of course, as the owner of the group, he could take credit for the success of the construction projects carried out by his company.

"Oh ..." L could only nod in understanding. She thought Killian Makela was really a hard worker who was not ashamed to do any work, including being a photographer, a construction worker, even working for the mafia, for the sake of earning money.

She liked hardworking men who were not choosy with work. She had also said that she would only consider marrying London if he succeeded in earning more money than her by doing honest jobs.

"Do you want to see the house? You can move in tomorrow," Pammy said enthusiastically.

L looked very touched. She nodded without making a sound. She happily took her coat and put on her shoes to go to Grunewald.

London drove them there. On the way, he repeatedly glanced at L, who sat next to him.

For some reason, the girl's happy face warmed his heart. He really hoped that L liked all the changes and renovations he ordered Jan to do to their new home.

To avoid L getting suspicious, he also asked Pammy to take some money to buy the house and pay for renovation from L's account and put it in a new account under the name of Lily Schneider.

If L checked her book and found that her money stayed intact, she would surely ask questions and, eventually, all their deeds would be exposed.

When London's VW arrived in front of the beautiful house, the automatic gate immediately opened, and they went inside. After parking the car in the courtyard, London opened the door for L, and the two of them admired the yard, which looked very neat. It was filled with various flowers that bloomed beautifully in summer.

L could not hide her admiration. They examined the beautiful terrace. It was equipped with a simple coffee table and a couple of chairs to sit in the afternoon. They could enjoy tea and talk while looking at the garden.

When they entered the living room, L covered his lips in surprise when she saw a grand piano sitting nicely in the corner of the room. It was positioned near the large glass door overlooking the swimming pool. There was a dark blue velvet curtain that made the piano corner look classic and luxurious.

L turned toward London with wet eyes. "There's a piano here ... From where?"

"Oh ... we found this piano in the storage while the house was being renovated. The old homeowner said this was an old piano belonging to his grandmother that had never been used because his family was not into music." Pammy hurriedly explained.

This was another lie that they inevitably had to do. London remembered how happy L's face was when they talked through Virconnect last week when he was still in Singapore. At that time, L was playing the piano in the hotel suite he was staying at. She looked so happy because she could compose a song while playing the piano to ward off boredom.

London loved the piano sound and L's singing. Therefore, he wanted her to be more creative and make more beautiful works. So, he gifted the best piano he could find to the woman he loved.

And oh ... L also liked to sing every morning. London couldn't wait to hear L's beautiful voice every morning to wake him up from his sleep.

L hurriedly sat on the piano stool and tried the keys.

"This is great !!" she exclaimed enthusiastically. She then looked at the piano brand and almost immediately collapsed. "This ... this is one of the extremely rare Steinway pianos ... !!"

London pretended to be surprised to hear her.
