Amelia refused to speak further. Liam felt helpless as he watched Amelia shut her eyes. He didn't know what he'd done to make Amelia have that thought. He had no idea whether she knew everything or had only heard a part of it and was intentionally saying these things to provoke him.Liam slowly let go of the bed. His heart was also hanging in the balance, and at that moment, he felt a bit at a loss.He said, "Lia, no matter what, I hope you can trust me. I genuinely want to treat you well. I know I neglected you, and I truly want to make amends now."I am a man, and no man can tolerate his wife flirting with another man. I won't look into the matter between you and Eric anymore. I’m determined to let the past stay in the past. So can you drop your guard and try to trust me, please?"Amelia still didn't speak, but she heard every word he said. Amelia wanted to mock him. She hadn't questioned his relationship with Hannah, so what right did he have to question her relationship w
"I was the one who asked him to come. If you have any objections, I can leave the hospital right now and go with him," Amelia said. Liam stared at her intensely and his eyes turned red. Eric hadn't expected Amelia to say this. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at her with a glint of excitement in his eyes.Amelia glanced at Eric and cleared her throat. "I believe that, no matter what, I should have the freedom to make friends. How can I trust you if I don’t have that freedom?"Liam couldn't believe what Amelia was saying. It was as if someone was repeating, "Look, she’s choosing that man over you right in front of you!"Liam's fists clenched even tighter, and there was a faint crack between his fingers. Then, Eric stepped forward and blocked Amelia's hospital bed."Mr. Prescott, I think you should have more grace, and you certainly shouldn't resort to violence against women. If you have any issues with me, feel free to confront me, but I won't back down," he said.Lia
"Amelia, about what he said ... " Eric looked worried, but before he could finish his sentence, Amelia interrupted him with a smile. "I won't take it to heart!""If you can't smile, don't force it. Seeing you forcing a smile makes me feel more uncomfortable," Eric said, looking at her with a concerned expression. Amelia shrugged off his concern and even laughed out loud.Suddenly, a sense of unease crept into Eric's heart. Just now, Liam had said something before he left. "Amelia ...""I don't want to get involved in whatever issues you and Liam have. I just want to live my own life. Is that too much to ask?" Eric said. Amelia looked at him. The smile on her face disappeared, replaced by weariness. "Amelia, I ... ""Don't worry, I've already made up my mind. I will continue to stay with Astra, no matter what. This was my promise from the beginning, and it was my own decision. I should stick to it," she said with a bitter smile. She then turned serious and looked at
But that didn't matter."Mr. Richards, I don't want to hear such words again. Otherwise, I think from now on, we'll have a strictly professional relationship," Amelia said.She didn't look at him, but her words were hurtful.Eric stumbled for a moment, as if he hadn't expected her to say such things. "Amelia, you can't treat me like this!" he sobbed. His voice was filled with dejection. Listening to this, Amelia began to doubt whether she had really hurt him."Mr. Richards, I've always said that we're friends. Don't say things that could make people misunderstand," she said."You can reject me, you can dislike me, but can't I even like you?" Eric began to get agitated. "You still have feelings for Liam even after how he treated you. What's he worth?"Amelia sighed weakly and looked at him. "Our relationship has nothing to do with him. Whether I continue to be with him or not won't affect us."Eric's face turned dark. Amelia had made it quite clear. "Do you blame me for a
"The other side has given up on competing with Astra for your contract, so you're still my colleague! Karl has already negotiated the next movie for you, and we'll be working together on the film!" Oscar said.Amelia looked at Karl in surprise. He wore a complex expression. Then, he raised an eyebrow, saying, "Since you've decided to stay, then do your best. I won't clean up your mess if you pull another stunt like that again!" Amelia was grateful. "Thank you, both of you!" she said.Alex sobbed when she came over and saw Amelia with her bandaged hands and face.Amelia smiled helplessly. "I'm fine. Why are you crying like this? If people didn't know better, they'd think something terrible happened to me!""Don't curse yourself!" Alex scolded her. Then, she wiped away her tears and said in concern, "Once you're out of the hospital, move in with me. I'll take care of you."Amelia smiled. "It's alright. There's no need to trouble yourself. I have someone to take care of me at hom
"Lia …" Liam parted his mouth. His chest felt stifled and heavy, and it was as if something had exploded in his head.Amelia looked up. Her eyes were bright and cold. She simply gazed at Liam like that, looking innocent yet indifferent."I've already gotten someone to contact a beauty expert. Don't worry, the scars will be removed," Liam said.Amelia smiled. "It's okay if they stay. That way, you won't have to worry about me advancing my career in the entertainment industry.""No, I won't stop you again. Even if you continue working at Astra, I'll help you!" Liam exclaimed.Amelia smiled half-heartedly without saying anything more.Looking at her, Liam felt a pang in his heart.He was serious about it, but she didn't believe him.Despite that, Liam carried out his promise.The next day, John drove Amelia to a beauty clinic. Liam had probably informed them beforehand because the director greeted Amelia in person. Then, he arranged for someone to treat her scars.Amelia did
Amelia looked at Liam in confusion. "Isn't this what you wanted, Mr. Prescott?""Since when have I thought like that?" Liam asked."You've been thinking that ever since we got married. Every time I wanted to please you even a little bit, you'd get annoyed and mock me. I just learned from experience," Amelia replied."I … Lia, can we please not dig up the past anymore? I thought we'd already come to an understanding before, so let's let bygones be bygones," Liam spoke in exasperation. Amelia's attitude made him very panicked.Amelia looked at him for a while. Then, she suddenly smiled. "Alright, let's not talk about the past then. What else would you like to talk about, Mr. Prescott?"Liam walked up to her and took her hand.Amelia tried to struggle free, but Liam only held onto her tighter."I know that I was the one who hurt you in that incident. I'm reflecting on it, and I regret it as well. But I can't lie to you. Even if it happened again, I'd still choose to protect Hanna
"Are you questioning me, Liam?" Ember's expression darkened. "I heard that Amelia was disfigured after getting hurt. Don't tell me you're regretting it and softening down just because of that!"Liam knew that Ember was mad. But still, he looked at her and spoke slowly, "She's still my wife right now.""But in the end, she's only a pawn to be abandoned!" Ember raised her voice. "You said that you would do something about it. But now, not only did you not handle your matters properly, you even made things more complicated!""What exactly are you two planning? Amelia is the young lady of the Prescott family, not some pawn. She's already hurt, but you two are still behaving like this! You're going too far!" When James heard the conversation, his frown deepened."We're going too far? If you care about her so much, why didn't I see you visiting her?" Ember retorted."If I wasn't worried that you might quarrel with me again, I would've visited her a long time ago. She's already part of o
