Lily Can You See My Heart Novels & Stories

"I just so happen to need this heart as a teaching tool for my class. I also want to research a targeted cure for congenital heart disease. Her family will surely be honored if they know about this. Leave me be. I know what I'm doing." Wendy carefully stored my heart away and moved to leave with it. Ian spoke up once more, asking, "Are you going to study the heart for your daughter?" I dazedly wondered if Wendy had always loved me. Did she still think of me? "Of course. Yuna is only ten. I don't want her to suffer any longer. I must find the best possible treatment as soon as possible." That reply made me feel like I had been plunged into ice-cold water.

I turned to leave, but her voice burst through my head, halting my steps. *Don’t even think about it* Lily growled, wiggling her hands off my hold and clutching her ears as she wailed. "Mummy,” she cried. My brows furrowed in confusion. Lily, can Mind link? I stared at her in horror, taking her up in my arms. “It’s okay, princess," I consoled. “Look at me, look at Mommy," I ushered. She nods, a tear slipping down from her eyes, which I hurriedly wiped away.

He smiled, holding a finger in front of his lips. Harper's brow furrowed but before she could question who Mr. Ward was, Brenna tugged on her sleeve practically bouncing on her toes. "Harp. Miss Lilah is here. She wants us to come look at the new windows and sign that just got installed at her shop." Her puzzlement pushed aside, she followed her sister away from the clinic and across the street. Miss Lilah's shop windows sparkled and the turquoise of the new sign and trim popped against the freshly painted store front.

My heart was racing a thousand miles an hour. I held my breath, waiting for her to explode. I expected her to scream, to tell her mom about the time I locked her in the gym locker room, or how I called her names in front of Lucien. ​Lily slowly turned her head. Her facial expression was inexplicable. It wasn't anger, and it wasn't sadness. It was just... blank. She looked at me for a long five seconds. ​“I know who she is,” Lily said. Her voice was cold and sharp.

He’s too perceptive. “I know something is wrong. I can see it on your face. Even when you smile, there’s no glow in it.” “Seems you’ve got me all figured out then. Must be nice.” “Don’t try to change the subject, Lily. What’s the problem? You can tell me anything.” I stay mute, trying to muster the courage to spill the beans but failing miserably. Liam waits patiently, looking into my eyes as if he can see through my soul and read my mind.

"Yes, please." She rolled her eyes. "Creed. Yuyu. It is so painfully obvious that he is falling for you. And honestly?" She poked her finger at me, hitting my forehead. "I think it's mutual." I stood frozen. My brain screamed DENY, DENY, DENY. But my stupid, stupid heart? It betrayed me. ".Maybe." Lily leapt off the bed, eyes wide. "I KNEW IT!" "SHH!" I wrestled with her, smacking a hand over her mouth. "The walls have ears! My tacky love life has to remain a secret!"

"Only God knows what I will be losing this time? " "This time......;" Lily smiles secretly as she arches her chin up like she was thinking about something important. She instantly smiles flashing her perfect set of white teeth when she has found the answer. "This time;" She repeated excitedly walking ahead of me to the club and just before she went in, she turns back and grin brightly "you will be losing your heart" and went in.

His calmness was beginning to irritate her. Micheal’s eyes softened, and he sighed. “Lily has a heart condition. It’s not something we talk about often, but it’s something we’ve managed for a long time. She can’t handle sudden shocks or intense emotions like fear or stress. Her heart rate spikes, and it’s almost like a mini heart attack.” Yvonne’s eyes widened in horror. “Are you telling me that a four-year-old just had a heart attack? How can we be sitting here just talking?” She started to rise from the couch in a panic, but Micheal quickly reached out, grasping her hand gently but firmly.

Not to hurt him, but to protect herself. “I know.” He stepped closer. “But does he see you the way I do?” She froze. He didn’t wait for an answer. Just leaned in, barely an inch between them. His voice was a whisper. “The heart remembers, Lily. Even when the mind tries to forget.” Then he walked away. Leaving her breathless in the quiet night. She walked to her car, still dazed. But as she opened the door, her phone buzzed. A message from Ryle:

He was aware that Lily would never accept her love for him when sober, so he wanted to listen to those words at least then. Lily calmly took his hand from her waist and placed it on her heart. "Can you hear my heart racing? It always does when I am with you, near you, close to you and yearning for you. It beats and longs for you.... only you." Lily said in a sensual and alluring tone.
