Early the next morning, Ember received a call informing her that Liam had gone back last night. And even until now, he hadn't arrived at the hospital. So Hannah was making a fuss again.Ember was quite surprised when she heard that.After breakfast, she asked the driver to take her to Luxury Gardens. She wanted to know what Liam was thinking right now.The Prescotts didn't have to fear the Lancasters at all, but it was a sensitive period. If they didn't deal appropriately with Hannah and the child in her belly, it would be quite a disadvantage for them.Even in the car, Ember was wondering how she should handle this matter. And to be honest, she did want the child in Hannah's belly. But she didn't quite want Hannah herself.But Hannah was the daughter of the Lancasters. So Ember couldn't use the same methods meant for ordinary women to keep the child.Still, when she was at the hospital yesterday, she had heard what Hannah said. And by the looks of it, Liam intended to abandon th
Ember didn't deny it. "You're quite aware. But nevertheless, you're still Liam's wife now. Since Liam doesn't want to get divorced at the moment, you have to decide on this matter!"Amelia frowned. She didn't like Ember forcing her like that, nor did she want to make that decision. To be honest, she didn't know what she should do either.If she wanted the child to live, she would feel something off in her heart. The gap between her and Liam would only get wider.She was also worried that Hannah would keep causing trouble with the child as an excuse.But if she didn't want the child to live, she would be killing off a human life. Moreover, it was a human life that wasn't directly related to her, so she had no right to decide if the child should live or not."Since you're asking me that question, you must have made your decision. I wonder what choice you would like me to make." After thinking about it, Amelia tossed the question back to Ember.Ember didn't mind Amelia's cunning way
Ember didn't care what Amelia thought, or how Amelia would object to that. She had simply come over just to inform Amelia about this matter.On that day itself, Hannah moved into Prescott Manor. Even a medical team had followed her. There was even a specialized doctor to take care of the child in her belly.When Liam came back, he had an apologetic look on his face. By the looks of it, he seemed to have already known about this matter."Lia, I didn't know Mom would make a decision like that on Hannie's matter. When I learned of it, she had already taken Hannie in …" he tried to explain.Amelia turned her head to look at him. Her eyes seemed capable of seeing through his thoughts. "Be honest with me. Didn't you feel relieved when your mom made that decision?" she asked.Having been exposed by Amelia, Liam felt a little embarrassed. "After all, it was because of me that Hannie … I can't give her any proper rights, and that was already considered mistreating her. I would have to ma
Amelia didn't talk too much with Karen, but she had already grasped what Karen wanted to convey.…Because Liam's hand was injured, Amelia was naturally the one in charge of cooking that day.At the dining table, Liam didn't ask Amelia to feed him anymore. Instead, he held his spoon with his left hand. Even though it was a little awkward compared to when he used his right hand, he still managed to eat.Amelia only glanced at him, not saying much about it.Liam thought for a moment. In the end, he spoke up first. "Lia, you didn't believe me before, but now that you have Mrs. Lancaster's promise, you'll stop worrying now, right?"Amelia looked up at him. "I kept telling you that I was only friends with Eric. But were you able to believe me and stop worrying when I interacted with him?"Liam pursed his lips, falling silent.They both knew the answer.If Liam wasn't worried about it, he wouldn't have stood on the balcony and smoked for so long. If he was truly reassured, he woul
Amelia still felt a little distanced. Even though she knew that Liam was trying to please her, she didn't quite feel like talking to him.So early the next morning, she went to the nursing home.Before she went out, Liam had asked to go with her, but she rejected him."You have a lot going on these days, so you don't have to come with me. I won't be staying the night there either. I'm getting John to come with me and I'll come back after dinner," Amelia said.After Liam saw Amelia off, the smile on his face disappeared. Turning around, he grabbed his keys and went to the garage.As Liam had expected, Hannah became much quieter after arriving at Prescott Manor. She would still make a fuss about seeing Liam, but she would no longer do anything drastic.Just like now, despite having moved in two days ago, Hannah didn't see Liam coming over. She was a little worried and she wondered if Amelia had banned him from coming.Hannah had called Liam countless times, but he had only answe
"If I'm impossible to reason with, why would you come back? Go back to your old lover!" Ember exclaimed.James had hit the nail on the head, and Ember was even more worked up by that."Are you trying to come back now that she doesn't want you anymore? I'm telling you, James, no way! If you want me to forgive me, disown that bastard child first!" Ember demanded.James laughed in his anger. "Just great, Ember. You think of him as a bastard child, and you refuse to acknowledge his rights, don't you? Then drive out that Lancaster woman right now! She is not your son's legal wife, so the child she gives birth to will also be a bastard!"Ember retorted, "Shut up!" She threw herself at James, trying to hit him, but he gripped her hands tightly."I was going to talk it over nicely with you, and I didn't want to strip Liam of his power in the Prescott Group. I was thinking that we should leave the children to deal with their problems, and we could just live our own lives away from the trou
"Since you're here, and this matter has been brought up, let's sit down and talk, just the three of us." James looked at Ember.He said, "I don't think you'll feign ignorance at times like this and miss the chance to fight for the interests of your son."Ember looked at James furiously. She wanted to retort, but in the end, the interests of her son were more important. So she simply snorted without saying anything else."I've watched you grow up. When you just learned how to walk, I would often bring you with me to work. You were with me while I attended meetings and dealt with official business. This has also helped develop your interest in business and management," James said.Liam recalled the past as well and had a reminiscent look on his face."You did put a lot of effort into developing my interests and abilities. You not only were my teacher, but you were also my guide," Liam replied.James looked comforted by his words, but Ember felt a little sad when she heard that.
After eavesdropping on the conversation, Hannah returned to her room. She felt that her heart was about to leap out of her throat.Some time ago, she heard that James had moved out, and he seemed to have gotten into an argument with Ember. But Hannah never figured out the reason.When she moved into Prescott Manor, she was wondering if she could get some information on that.She was quite lucky too. She had only moved in two days ago when James came back.She initially didn't know about it. She was simply thirsty, so she wanted to go downstairs for a drink. But then, she heard Ember and James arguing. So she stood at the stairs, listening in.Then, Liam had come over. Hannah didn't dare to stay there for too long, fearing that someone might notice her. So she went back to her room first.She didn't hear the latter half of the conversation, but the things she did hear were shocking enough that the upper-class society would be talking about them for a long time.Her heart thum
