"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. "Why didn't Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster come over?"Mrs. Je
Amelia returned to the crew. Oscar told her about their progress.Then, he said, "The incident last time caused you to get on the trending page again. But it also turned into an early promotion for the new show."Amelia nodded. Because of Liam's injury last time, she didn't pay attention to the news online. Karl and the others didn't tell her about it, either.When she heard of it later on, the news was already suppressed."Do your best. I'm sure that you'll get famous after this show airs.""Let's hope so!"After that, Amelia was bustling about every day. She had taken some time off. So, now that she had returned to the crew, she spent every day filming the scenes she had missed out.Because of this, after she went home every day, she would be so tired that she went to sleep after a shower.The scar on her back was fading, but Liam insisted on applying the ointment to her every day.Even now, the two were already comfortable enough being naked around each other. There was
"You're too kind, Mrs. Lancaster. Back then, Ms. Lancaster fainted in front of our house, and it was a maid who discovered her and brought her in."Also, Ms. Lancaster is childhood friends with Liam. So, we won't just stand by and do nothing when she is in need."Amelia smiled as she replied. She noticed the look of disdain on Hannah's face.Was she disdainful because Amelia mentioned May?Hah, if May hadn't helped her in, her illness would only get worse if she stayed outside in the cold!"There's no need to be so polite, Ms. Jenson. Even though Hannie grew up with Liam, they're still from different families in the end. You sent her to the hospital in time, and you've saved her life."It's only reasonable that we come over to thank you."The one who spoke up was Charles Lancaster. He was sitting right next to Karen.Unlike the feeling Karen gave Amelia, Charles was smiling, but his smile was slicker.Amelia was about to reply when Charles sighed."I once thought that the Lan
"Why are you stopping me? Was I wrong at all? Liam had always taken care of me, and there was an engagement between our families."If it weren't for … I just want to be with the person I like. Is that so wrong?"As Hannah spoke, she began to cry while she looked at Amelia in hatred. Amelia almost believed that she had truly snatched Hannah's man from her.It was true that Amelia didn't know about the engagement between the two families. But even if she weren't in the picture, Liam still wouldn't marry Hannah!So, she looked at Hannah without any trace of guilt. She was completely unaffected by Hannah's tears.Amelia's expression didn't waver. It was as if she didn't even care about the information they revealed. Hence, Charles knew that his daughter might not be able to get what she wanted this time.He sighed. "Ms. Jenson, you're right to blame Hannie. She's so … I'm sure that you married Liam because you have feelings for each other. So, I hope that you can understand her."Af
