Liam went to the doctor's office to inquire about Leona's condition."She suffered trauma on the back of her head. This caused her optic nerve to be compressed. She'll have blurred vision now. We've encountered cases like hers before. Generally, recovery is possible, though not guaranteed. But as long as the patient cooperates, the chances of recovery are high."Liam nodded."Is there anything that I can do?""Make sure the patient is in good spirits and adhere to a light diet. Stay in the hospital at the moment. We will treat the trauma and then her eyes. By the way, go get some medicine from the nurse's station for your injuries!"After thanking the doctor, Liam went out for a smoke. He was recalling the events that occurred after following Leona out of the warehouse. Leona had indeed seen one of the men. When Eric and he rushed in, the men were startled and fled immediately. But after realizing that they had more people, one of them went back to check on the warehouse. It w
Eric quickly pressed the button for an elevator again. He only grunted a response to Liam's question. Liam became anxious, and his expression turned serious."Eric, don't pretend you didn't hear me!"Eric looked at him with a faint smile."I'm not pretending. I heard your question, but I don't want to answer. Just like you heard my question and didn't answer. Why should I answer yours?"Liam's face darkened."Leona is hurt, and I brought her here. Why are you here, and where's Lia?""Your question is quite strange. Amelia is your wife. As her husband, shouldn't you know where she is? It's funny for you to ask me that question."He glanced toward the wards again and said sarcastically, "It seems that you're quite clear where the other woman is."Liam became displeased."Eric, you've been competing against me at the Prescott Group for so long. Do I look weak to you?"Astra has been doing well for a long time. In the past six months, business seems quite good as well. Do you thi
The next day, Eric brought breakfast to the hospital early in the morning."Alex cooked this. I happened to meet her yesterday. So, I told her that you're pregnant and had some complications. So, she got up early to cook this for you."Eric carefully glanced at Amelia as he spoke. He wanted to see if she had any reaction. When he went home last night, Alex was waiting for him there. Since he wasn't in the mood to deal with her, he asked her to leave.They ended up arguing and she let slip that Amelia had known about their affair for a long time.Amelia was unaware of his intention. She looked pleasantly surprised when she learned that it was Alex who cooked her the soup. "Alex isn't good at cooking. She took a long time to learn to cook this soup."The soup was still warm. Amelia felt a warmth in her heart as she tasted it and savored the soup. Eric felt a complex mix of emotions after seeing Amelia's lack of surprise.Did she know about their affair as Alex had mentioned?"
"Yes, he said a friend saw you at the hospital and told him. He's also worried about you, but unfortunately, he's already on a business trip. Otherwise, he would have stayed here with you."Amelia nodded after listening to the explanation. But somehow, she felt that it was a little odd.Looking at the smile on Ember's face, Amelia raised an eyebrow and asked, "Mom, Liam only knew I was in the hospital. He probably doesn't know that I'm pregnant, right?""Of course, he doesn't know. He would have told me if he knew, and he would have rushed back immediately!"Ember's gaze fell on Amelia's belly. It was as if she could already see the baby inside. This made Amelia feel overwhelmed."Mom, please don't tell him yet. I want to give him a surprise when he comes back."Ember smiled and looked approvingly at her, "Sure, I'll keep it a secret for you!"While the women were discussing keeping it secret, Liam was holed up in the hotel and researching about things to pay attention to for a
Alex brought food to the hospital for Amelia in the afternoon. She wasn't surprised to see Ember there because Eric had already informed her. Amelia waved to her with a smile, "The soup this morning was delicious. You must cook it often, right?"Alex directly replied, "I noticed that Eric sometimes skips breakfast when he's busy, so I would cook for him."Her words shocked Ember. However, she remained oblivious and continued, "Eric also said that he likes my soup. I've always joked about cooking it for him for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he's already engaged. After he gets married, there'll be someone else cooking for him."Ember's eyes flickered as she smilingly said, "You must be Ms. Lambert!"Alex looked at Ember and said with a smile, "Yes, my father is Jay Lambert. Madam Prescott, I've always envied Amelia for having a mother-in-law like you."Although there was an underlying meaning in her words, the compliments in them still made Ember happy."You have such a
Looking at Liam's antics, Amelia wasn't sure if he already knew about her pregnancy. But even if he knew, she wanted to tell him in person."Liam, you're going to be a father!"She said it with a serious face. But Liam had been smiling faintly the whole time. He was not surprised and didn't look particularly happy. This made Amelia feel disappointed."Did you hear what I said?"She pouted and frowned, clearly unsatisfied with his reaction.Liam chuckled and cupped her face, saying softly, "I heard you. I'm very happy that you're willing to have a baby with me. I'm also delighted about the arrival of this baby.""But your reaction makes me feel like you're not happy."Amelia felt a bit down. Would he react like this if he were genuinely happy?Besides, based on his response, it seemed that he already knew. She recalled that when Ember came over, she found out from the medical chart. Liam probably found out the same way too, or the doctors have informed him."I'm happy and sad
"Because I don't want to gain anything through him, and I don't want you to feel guilty toward me because of him."Amelia sneered in her heart when Leona was speaking. If Rory was Luke's son, how could the Prescotts possibly ignore her after Luke's death?It seemed like Leona just wanted to make the Prescotts feel indebted to her after confirming Rory's identity. That was probably Leona's plan from the beginning!But Amelia couldn't say anything. Regardless of Leona's motives, the most important now was the child. Perhaps Leona had achieved her purpose, as she looked at Amelia and changed the topic."I heard Ms. Jenson is pregnant. Congratulations!"She smiled at Amelia, but for some reason, it made Amelia feel uncomfortable."Rory was born without a father."Leona's eyes turned red as she held Rory and said this. Hearing this, Amelia felt a bit angry. What did she mean by that?Was she jealous that her baby would have a father? Or was she hinting that she wanted to be with Lia
Due to Amelia's pregnancy, she rarely went out of the house. She hadn't even gone to the Prescott Group or Prime Studios.After finding out about Amelia's pregnancy, Lia personally called her and instructed her to rest at home. She reassured Amelia that as long as her work was not affected, everything would be fine.Amelia felt relieved when she found out that "Walking into Love" had finished filming and was now in post-production. The director assured her that the final product would be sent to her for review.The filming crew for the movie "Miracle" was formed, and they would be recruiting actors next week. The male lead had already been decided as the script was written specifically for Oscar. As for the other roles, the director would take care of the casting so Amelia didn't have to worry about it.She didn't have much to do at home and found herself quite bored. On one of her boring days, she thought of continuing to write a script and began to brainstorm ideas.After thin
