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
Amelia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Karen to say that.But Amelia truly couldn't bring herself to hate Karen. So, after Karen said that, she couldn't decline, either."Please wait for a moment, then, Mrs. Lancaster. I'll be right back." Amelia smiled at Karen. Then, she told May to serve the guests while she went upstairs.After changing her clothes, Amelia called Liam. Liam said that he would come back right away, so Amelia felt a little more reassured.After going downstairs, Amelia found that Karen was the only one left in the living room. She was sitting on the couch, holding a cup of tea in her hands while she gazed at the TV.On the TV, the station was rebroadcasting the first show Amelia acted in."Ms. Jenson, your acting skills improved quite quickly.""Thank you! Where are Mr. Lancaster and Ms. Lancaster?""They had something to attend to at home, so I asked them to go back first." Karen patted the spot next to her. "Come and sit here, Ms. Jenson. I wa
"Never mind, if you don't know about it, I won't tell, either. People might accuse me of being a villain." Karen chuckled.She continued, "Just know that I don't like Liam now, and I will never allow him to be a son-in-law of the Lancasters."Amelia's gaze flickered a little, but she felt even more reassured in her heart.Even though Karen didn't explain the details, Amelia believed what she said."Hannie still hasn't matured yet. If she remains ill-mannered in the future and does things she shouldn't, don't hold it against her. At least be more tolerant of her, for my sake."No matter what she's trying to do, she can't make any huge waves. Anything that should belong to you will still be yours."There was an eagerness in her tone, and Amelia couldn't decline it."As long as she doesn't overstep the boundaries, I won't mind her too much."With Amelia's promise, Karen sighed in relief."You're a good lady, and you deserve happiness. I hope that Liam can let go of the past after
At night, as Liam watched the sleeping face of the woman next to him, he felt his heart softening even more.His wife was simply too kind.The incident of the splashed soup at the restaurant was made clear. As Ava said, Hannah truly did have something to do with that incident.Even though they didn't have concrete evidence, it wouldn't be far from the truth.Liam was very disappointed in Hannah's actions. He wanted to talk to her about it, but he didn't expect Hannah to come knocking first.She also had a high fever at that time, so he couldn't ignore her at all. He had no choice but to send her to the hospital first.He wanted to ask her about it after her fever had receded. But Amelia was so kind that she insisted on going to the hospital with him and Hannah.Liam sighed. If Amelia had known that Hannah was the one behind that incident, would she have been sad and regretful?While he was thinking those things, he also felt that he had been too lenient toward Hannah. He even c
Although Nathan was only a little over two years old, he was very smart.He once saw Liam's photo on Amelia's phone and started to stubbornly ask if that was his father. She didn't want to lie to him and thinking that they wouldn't meet Liam abroad, she admitted it to Nathan.She didn't expect him to remember it and asked to see Liam's photos every day. That was how he recognized Liam immediately upon meeting him for the first time.Amelia had discovered her pregnancy before she left the country and chose to keep it a secret. After giving birth to her son, she named him Nathan Jenson.Three years later, Amelia returned for Peter's birthday and left Nathan with her mentor, Tolkin. She then planned to go abroad again after establishing her office in the country. But she didn't expect Liam to find out about Nathan and bring him back.After dinner, Amelia grabbed a coat for Nathan, thinking that the rooftop garden might be windy. She then brought him to the garden after playin
Karen passed away three days after Independence Day. Fortunately, Leona managed to return a day before Karen passed.As she stood beside Leona, Amelia smelled a strong scent coming from her. The perfume was so pungent that it made Amelia frown.This time, Leona wasn't wearing glasses, and her movements were unimpeded. Amelia knew that her eyes had already recovered for some time. It was just that Leona simply kept pretending.During the funeral, Leona occasionally glared fiercely at Amelia, which unsettled her. But fortunately, Liam was always by her side. Even if Amelia ignored him, he stayed with her. Especially when Leona looked at her, he would sternly return the gaze.Amelia could see that Leona still harbored resentment against her, but with Liam by her side, Leona didn't dare to do anything.After the funeral, Liam asked someone to take Leona away again. Amelia then saw the maid who took Leona away pinch her unkindly."That's the maid that's always taken care of
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. I told Liam about it but didn't reveal your identity."Liam's my son. How could I not know his thoughts? Once he found out that Leona had gone to Bryxton, he immediately went there too. And as I expec
Charles hadn't contacted Amelia for a while, and Amelia felt something was amiss. So, she sent someone to inquire about the Lancasters' situation. From there, she learned that their business had recovered quite a bit.Amelia sat at her desk and tapped her fingers on the table as she contemplated the reasons for this change.Was it because everyone at the banquet learned that she was Liam's wife?Or perhaps Liam had stopped targeting the Lancasters?Amelia's thoughts were in a disarray. Despite avoiding Liam and cutting off all contact with him for the past few days, her heart had become increasingly restless, and she couldn't calm down.Even though she tried to avoid him, he still intruded on her life in every possible way.He would send flowers to her every day and asked May to bring the food he cooked. It made everyone in her office aware that Liam had angered her and was seeking forgiveness.Three years ago, before Amelia left, she had explained the situation to May and
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? Liam's just venting his anger on us. He won't trouble us again once his anger dissipates.""Of c
