No one knew if Eric understood what Liam meant. He simply accepted the tea and then leisurely sipped it.

Seeing him like that, Amelia felt a little awkward as well.

After all, Eric was quite good to her, but she hadn't been in contact with him these days.

Even during Christmas, she only gave him a quick call to greet him. She even feared that Liam might get mad, so she hung up after a few exchanges.

"I heard that you were hurt, Mr. Prescott, so I came over to visit. After all, you've saved a celebrity from our company." Eric finally spoke his first words ever since he arrived.

Liam smiled nonchalantly. "Lia is my wife, so when she's in trouble, it's only proper that I save her. Anyway, let's talk about the assistant Astra hired for my wife.

"I don't know if she's lacking in professional capability. But isn't she going to take responsibility for something like this?"

Hearing that, Amelia felt her heart skip a beat. Her assistant was only responsible for taking care of her and he

    "The news isn't trending online anymore. But the netizens are still guessing about your relationship with Liam. "Discuss it with Liam and see if you should announce it sometime or keep ignoring it."Amelia agreed.Thinking that Liam and Eric should have finished talking, Amelia went back to the ward.Eric had already left. Liam was leaning against the headboard, looking thoughtful. He didn't even realize that she had come in.Amelia had a feeling that it must be related to something he and Eric talked about just now. She didn't bother him. She simply took out her script and stepped aside to read it.But she had only read a few lines when she realized she couldn't register the words anymore.She kept wondering about the relationship between the two.

    A thought occurred to Amelia. It was bold and shocking, and she didn't quite dare to believe it.When Liam saw her expression, he knew that she had guessed it.He chuckled helplessly. "You guessed right. I found that Eric might have been my dad's illegitimate child."Amelia suddenly felt bad for him when she saw the smile on his face. She gripped his hand tightly, hastily saying, "You said that he might be, which means that you're not sure yet …"He looked at her with a complicated look. Then, he put on a relieved smile. "You're right. I might have made a mistake."His relieved smile made her feel worse instead.They both knew that it wasn't likely for him to have made a mistake. Also, there was a conversation between Ember and James. Amelia was almost certain that this was the truth.It was no wonder that the two were at odds with each other despite never meeting or talking to each other in the past.At first, she seriously thought that it was because of her that the two were

    Amelia felt a little awkward and embarrassed. She didn't even dare look at Liam.She knew that Ember was complaining about her disgracefulness again."We're all family, so it's fine," James said. But Ember was even more worked up now."I was against it when Liam married her back then, but you insisted on supporting him. You said that it's alright as long as he's happy. But now, it looks like you've already planned for it to happen."If Liam marries a woman from a poor background, your illegitimate son would have an advantage!"James retorted, "Can't you be reasonable for once? Why are you mentioning those things again?"James had a foul look on his face as he reprimanded."You want me to be reasonable? It's exactly because I was too reasonable that I chose to believe you. If I had been more stubborn like other women, I would've pestered you even more."Then, you wouldn't dare to go around flirting with other women anymore."Liam said to Amelia, "Lia, go to the bedroom for now.

    "No one touches my wife!"Liam spoke those words in a low voice, and he stared straight at James."I don't care if he's going out with the lady of the Lambert family out of sincerity or some other motive. I just want him to stay away from my wife in the future."His sharp gaze seemed to be burning. James felt his face burning under Liam's sharp glare."Amelia is his sister-in-law and a celebrity from his company. It's normal for him to talk to Amelia." James averted his gaze awkwardly as he subconsciously spoke up for Eric.He didn't expect that the son he raised would have such an intimidating air. When faced with Liam, James was surprised to feel guilty for an instant."He took a step ahead and coaxed Lia to sign a contract with Astra. Still, he had helped Lia before, and Lia tended to repay the kindness she was shown."She didn't want to be heartless, so she decided to stay in Astra. Lia is kind, but I am not a kind man. If he dared to use Lia in any of his plans, I'd destroy

    In the end, Liam didn't get what he wanted.The couple was getting entangled with each other, and suggestive elements were in the air. But then, May knocked on the door urgently.Of course, Liam was upset that the nice atmosphere was interrupted. So, he had a dark look on his face when he opened the door. May couldn't help but shiver in her heart.But when she remembered her reason for coming, she suppressed her fear as she hastily spoke up. "I heard someone knocking just now, so I looked through the peephole. It was Ms. Lancaster."When Liam heard May saying that the visitor was Hannah, he felt a little puzzled. What did she come here for at this hour?But then, when he thought about it, he felt upset. Hannah had ruined his moment for the second time."I thought that you've been quite caring toward Ms. Lancaster, Mr. Prescott, so I opened the door. But as soon as I did it, Ms. Lancaster fainted."I touched her, and she was burning all over. She seems to have a high fever, a

    It was nighttime, so the staff at the outpatient department had all clocked out. They went to the emergency department instead.After the doctor examined Hannah, they said that she had caught a cold. She didn't get treatment on time, and she ate some unhygienic food, so her high fever persisted.Then, the doctor asked the staff to prepare for a blood test and an IV drip.When the ordeal was over, Hannah had already woken up some time ago.While she was lying on the bed for the drip, she looked at Liam gratefully. "Liam, I remember going to your house, and I fainted at the entrance. You're the one who sent me to the hospital, right?"Liam nodded. "You're too careless. Don't you know that you should go to the hospital if you catch a cold? You even dragged it out for so long that it turned into a high fever."When Liam said that, Hannah's eyes turned red. "I … I remembered Leona …"Liam fell silent as well.At the side, Amelia noticed something. There was something off about Lia

    Hannah had to get the drip for a few days, so Liam let her stay in a ward.The drip finally ended late in the night. Hannah had already fallen asleep a long time ago. But Amelia was still staying by Liam's side. When Liam saw the dark circles under her eyes, he felt his heart aching."You must be tired. I'll send you back."Hearing him say that, Amelia knew that he was planning to come back here after sending her home. Of course, Amelia would have none of that. So, she shook her head."It'll be dawn soon, so let's not be in a hurry to go home. We can take a nap in the ward next door. When the people from the Lancaster family come over tomorrow, we can go home."So, you won't have to keep coming back and forth without rest."Knowing that Amelia was worried about him, Liam agreed without thinking too much about it.Still, he felt bad for her. "I'm sorry for making you go through this. It's not as comfortable in the hospital as it is back home.""I just left the hospital with yo

    "Since someone from the Lancaster family has come, let's go home."Amelia had already spent a night at the hospital with Hannah. She didn't want to keep staying there. Also, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw how Hannah looked at Liam.Liam wanted to stay a moment longer, but when he saw Amelia's tired look, he smiled as he nodded."Alright, let's go back first."After leaving the breakfast in the ward, Liam turned to leave with Amelia. Just then, Mrs. Jenson called out to him."Thank you so much, Mr. Prescott. If you hadn't sent Hannie to the hospital in time, I wouldn't have known what to do!"Mrs. Jenson looked at Liam gratefully. As for Amelia, who was standing next to him, Mrs. Jenson didn't even spare her a glance. Amelia keenly sensed that Mrs. Jenson was pretending that she didn't exist.Still, Amelia didn't mind it at all. She didn't send Hannah to the hospital to receive their gratitude.Liam frowned.

    James spoke of the past without any warning.Amelia was surprised to hear the story. She didn't expect that the generation before her had such connections."I didn't know what Karen felt for me. She always hid her emotions well. She was always elegant and noble in front of everyone and never did anything inappropriate. She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. I hoped my son could be with her daughter."I wanted Luke and Leona to marry for this purpose as well. Family interests were not my priority. Unfortunately, they had an accident, and my wish wasn't fulfilled. Then, I found out that Leona had been to Bryxton and suspected the identity of Hannah and you.

    After returning home, Eric's mood remained gloomy.Hannah opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for him. "Want some?"Eric glanced at her, took the glass, and gulped it down in one go.Hannah then quickly refilled his glass, and Eric drank everything again.Hannah chuckled lightly as she poured the wine for him. "Although drinking is bad for you, sometimes, it can be a way to drown your sorrows. But don't overdo it.""Why should I be sorrowful? What do I have to be sorrowful for?" Eric mocked himself and finished the wine in his glass. He then grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass.As Hannah watched him, she couldn't help but say, "You indeed have nothing to be sorrowful about. You're quite fortunate compared to many ordinary people. "Take me, for example. I had to marry someone who doesn't love me just to survive. Even the parents I'd known for over 20 years were not really my parents."Eric smirked. "That was of your own doing. You insisted on marrying me

    Alex was resting on the bed when her phone rang.Seeing the name on the screen, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Have you made up your mind? When are you going to the hospital?"Hearing this, Alex chuckled. "I thought you called to say that you regretted your words. So, you just want to remind me to go to the hospital."Eric's voice was calm and distant as he said, "Delaying it will only harm you.""Yeah, that's why I've already gone to the hospital," Alex replied.Eric paused, seemingly surprised by her swift action. "Why didn't you call me? I could've accompanied you."Alex scoffed. "Since you don't care about me or the baby in my belly, why bother going to the hospital with me? Don't worry, even if I die on the operating table during the abortion, it's my own fault."Eric frowned. "You know I didn't mean that.""Yes, I know. You just said it out of guilt. So what if I purposely said that? Why should I feel sad alone? I want to provoke you, to make you feel trou

    After the banquet, Liam drove Amelia home."Thanks for helping me today," Amelia said.This was the first time they were together alone since they'd met the shy man.Liam smirked. "You don't have to thank me. I just spoke the truth and defended my own marriage."Amelia frowned. "What do you mean?""I meant exactly that!""Stop the car and explain yourself!"Liam then parked the car as instructed. Then, Amelia spoke seriously, "We've already divorced, but now you're saying that we're still married. What do you mean exactly?"Liam smiled. "Of course, it means that we're still husband and wife. What else could it be?""You!" Amelia was frustrated. "Can you speak plainly?"What exactly did Liam mean? Amelia was confused.Other people might not know, but Amelia was aware that they were divorced. Plus, Oscar knew that she was just using Liam to reject him.Liam observed Amelia getting angry and toned down, saying, "Three years ago, we did sign a divorce agreement, but it didn't

    Amelia didn't think Karen would act so quickly, and she found it difficult to refuse her after looking at her warm gaze."Mr. Prescott, the Lancasters have prepared a banquet to welcome Madam into the family. And they've invited many people, including some previous partners of the Lancaster Group and some members of the Prescotts. "However, we still haven't received an invitation. Do you think…" Gio was reporting to Liam about Amelia in the office.Liam snorted. "The Lancasters must have other intentions to organize the banquet. If they still want me to spare them and Leona, they shouldn't use this method to corner me. They're being so public about things and are putting so much effort into this banquet to force me to attend it."Gio looked puzzled.Liam continued, "Charles is a cunning old man. He begged me to let go of the Lancasters. But when I disagreed, he tried to approach Lia. He never thought she would refuse too. So, he's still furious about this. He's reluctant to give

    The Lancasters' businesses had been continuously taken away, and Leona was nowhere to be found. This frustrated Charles."As expected, people who didn't grow up in this family are so unreliable. It's such a simple matter that could've been solved had she said anything about it, but she just won't help!" Charles paced around the living room while complaining about his daughter.Meanwhile, Karen looked a little worn out as she sat on the couch. She frowned and said, "Stop pacing around. You're making me dizzy!"Charles glanced at her. "I'm just too worried. If the company doesn't get new orders, we won't be able to pay salaries, and we'll lose our employees. If that really happens, the company will go bankrupt!"Despite the urgency of the situation, he still listened to Karen and sat across from her.Hannah looked at the anxious Charles and sneered, saying, "Dad, don't you understand?
