Chapter 142 The following day, the house that has never been lively was filled with a joyous mood. Joylin and Jackson had come over early in the morning and she and Lily were busy in the kitchen preparing brunch. “I feel like the world has become a completely different place. I thought that there is always something good in every person, but as it turns out, some people are just born evil and that will never change.” Joylin said as she looked at Lily, feeling sorry for her for all the pain she had endured over the years. Although it has only been a few hours since they met, the two women had already connected and now, they talking like long time friends. “Yeah. When you try to see the good in people, you will always be the one getting hurt. If I had known that my son and daughter will go through so much under that woman’s evil hands, I would have come out a long time ago.” “But how comes your husband never realized that he has been living with a fraud all these years?” Joylin aske
Chapter 143 Winter, Jackson, Derek, Lily, Axel, Amelia, Joylin, James… every one of them was staring at them. They felt like they were a piece of meat on the chopping board. “Insolent, vile creatures,” Winter shouted as he slammed his hand on the table. Mel jumped from fright and almost fell. Sandra’s face was pale as she stared at the stranger woman before her. Her face had been appearing in her dreams almost every night for the past twenty years or so. She never imagined that there will be a day she will see her face to face. She looked at her as if she was looking at a ghost. She never imagined that her sister had survived the fire accident and she will one day show up here. She would have just let the doctors strangle her to death while she was in the hospital. “Can you explain the meaning of this?” Winter said as he played the recording between Mel and the doctor. How has he never realized that he has been hosting wolves in his home, instead of humans? He was so angry that
Chapter 144 At the supreme court… The case did not take long because the evidence presented by Axel was very clear and precise. No matter how Mel and Sandra tried to deny it, they only made people hate them more. Layla had also been dragged into the mud by Mel. Mel claimed that the idea to bribe the doctor and have Amelia’s uterus removed originated from her. “Sandra Dawson and Mel Dawson, after looking at the evidence presented to the court of law, I now sentence you to life imprisonment without parole.” “Miss Layla Lightwood, because of your crooked idea, you almost denied someone the right to become a mother. You have been therefore sentenced to twenty years in prison with two years of community service.” … Seasons went by quickly and Amelia was in her final trimester. Axel had taken her on a vacation and they were currently walking on the beach while Amelia took photos from time to time. “Time has gone by really first. I remember the first time we came to this place, I did
Chapter 145 “Joylin, thirty years ago, I pledged my love and commitment to you. I promised to love you, honor you, to comfort you, and to keep you. Although I have done almost none of those things in the past twenty-something years. From today onwards, before God and before our family, I want to promise you that I will forever hold your hand, I will give you a shoulder to lean on and I will be your best friend. I will make sure that the only thing that can be seen on your angelic face is your beautiful smile and tears of joy. When the sun rises, I want to be by your side, and I want to hold your hand as we watch it set. Joylin, I love you more than anything this world has to offer. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.”Jackson emotionally said. His words earned a round of applause from the audience. The ladies present all had their eyes wet, especially Amelia, who was emotionally sensitive due to pregnancy. She was a mess as she cried hard in Axel’s arms. Axel was he
Chapter 146 Watching her kids grow up every step of the way filled Amelia with joy. Although being parents demanded more from them, Axel and Amelia felt accomplished every time they finished a day. “I have never known that you are good with kids,” Amelia said as she watched Axel bathing their son, Derek. “I have a great teacher with me. What is there for me not to learn?” Axel asked. Amelia blushed at his words. Ever since he became a father, Axel had been treating her extremely well. Sometimes, she felt like she was soaked in honey. It was sweet but not sickening. After putting the little ones to sleep, Axel approached Amelia. “Are you still… you know?” Axel asked in a deep voice. It had been three months since Amelia gave birth and they were yet to be intimate. Amelia looked at her husband and felt even more loved. She knew that her husband had been holding it in for a long time, it was finally time for him to get some privileges. “I miss you too,” Amelia said. She missed be
Chapter 147 “Axel, you are finally willing to show yourself. I am glad that you did because I want you to experience the pain that you have never experienced. The pain of having to watch your loved ones fall in front of you without doing anything.” Charles spat. “Before you condemn me, please watch this,” Axel said as he threw a phone at Charles. Charles caught it and the moment his finger touched the screen, a video started to play out. It was the courtroom and there was a case in session. Although Charles did not know what it was, he decided to watch it. But at the end of the video, his face was contorted and a look of disbelief washed over his face. “I told you that I had nothing to do with that car accident but you never listened. If you had been in the country for the past few years, you would not have wasted your time doing all these.” Axel said coldly. “No! This can’t be real. You are the one who caused the death of my brother.” “If you don’t believe me, the culprit is a
Chapter 148 At the hospital, Derek and Axel were nervously waiting for the doctors outside the emergency room. “Will mommy be okay?” Derek asked as he looked at his father. “Yes, she will be okay.” “It is all my fault,” he said as he lowered his head. “Why do you say so?” Axel asked as he looked at his son. “I have not taken good care of Mommy. I should have noticed that she was to feel well a long time ago. Why did I realize it just now?” Axel was stunned. He never imagined that his son would be sensitive to that extent. “I am the one to blame. If I haven’t been too busy with work, your mom would be okay. I have failed her.” “Come here.” he summoned his son and then pulled him into his embrace. He had been too busy recently that he had failed to notice the abnormalities surrounding Amelia. He only prayed that it was nothing serious. After what seemed like forever, the doctors finally exited the emergency room. “How is my wife?” Axel did not hesitate to ask. “Don’t worry,
Chapter one‘Amelia, Layla is your sister, please take care of her from now on.’‘Amelia, I love your sister and there is nothing I can do. We have been together for some time now and I think we should end this marriage contract thing. It was not there to begin with. Our old folks were just joking with each other. I hope you will understand.’‘You are dismissed and blacklisted in this agency with immediate effect. A morally corrupt person like you should not have existed in the first place.’‘Amelia, I never imagined that you would be such a monster to even go after an innocent child. Layla has been treating you well and looking up to you like an older sister all these years, is this how you treat her? You are such a monster that even God had abandoned you.’‘You think that crying will help you. I am not sending you to jail for the sake of your father’s reputation. I am very disappointed in you. You should immediately disappear in this country, or else I don’t know what will happen if

Chapter 141 Axel returned from work when dinner was almost ready. After preparing the bath water for him, Amelia went to wait for him in the living room. Lily was setting the dinner table and after contemplating for a while, Amelia decided to ask the question that was bothering her. “Mom, when are you planning to tell him?” she asked. When Lily heard Amelia call her mom, her hands trembled and she almost dropped the bowl in her hands. She turned to look at Amelia with a stunned gaze, not believing her ears. Had she just called her mom? The emotions that the word had stirred in her heart were so much that she was left speechless. How long had it been since someone called her mom? She almost thought that she will never hear that word, ever again. As for Amelia, she did not feel ashamed when she called Lily mom. She was Axel’s mom so, it came naturally. Although Lily was stunned, she quickly came back to her senses, “What are you talking about?” she asked Amelia as if she was not
Chapter 140 “Can you tell me more about Axel, you know, when he was young? What kind of life did he live?” Lily asked nervously. “Why are you suddenly interested in my husband’s life when he was young?” Amelia asked as she squinted her eyes at the woman. Did she not want to hide her identity anymore? Although she had guessed a lot by now, she still needed some clarity to be certain that she was on the right path. “Don’t read much into it. Talking about something that interests you when you are pregnant can help improve your mood. It is beneficial for you and the baby.” Lily said. She had calmed down quite a bit and her voice had returned to normal. She was already by her son’s side and she could not be asking for more. As long as she could personally take care of her son and her daughter-in-law, it did not matter even if she had to hide for the rest of her life. Asking too many questions might also land her in trouble and she was not ready to face the consequences if her identit
