"Mr. Prescott, Astra seems to have been in close contact with them recently. Could it be that something's going to happen?" Gio reported the recent news when Liam arrived at the office. Liam frowned and asked, "Them? You mean the government?" Gio nodded his head. "Yes, I believe they've managed to make a deal." Liam thought for a while and snorted. "That person sure isn't willing to give up." Gio realized that Liam must have gotten himself into another conflict with that person. "Should we do something, Mr. Prescott?" "There's no need to do anything. Tell everyone not to openly go against Astra, and there's no need to snatch away any projects from them. We only need to do what we've been doing." "Won't this make people think that we are…" Gio was hesitant as he couldn't comprehend why Liam was willing to back off like this. "Afraid of Astra?" Liam raised his eyebrows and looked at him while finishing his sentence for him. Gio sheepishly answered
"I've told you to stop contacting her." Liam's handsome face had distorted from anger. Leona was visibly aggrieved before forcing herself to cheer up. "You wanted me to stay in the hospital even after you promised that I could move in. Even though I had already confirmed with the doctor that I could already be discharged, you remained adamant that I should stay for a little longer." "I had assumed that you hadn't finished talking with Amelia about the matter and didn't probe you further. But now that I'm here, I had thought that you'd have already settled everything with her." "Regardless, this had been unfair to Amelia. I'm just really grateful that she could accept my presence." She raised her head and tried to reach out to Liam. "I have no other intention aside from thanking her. You can take a look at what I wrote." Liam looked down at her phone to see her chat log with Amelia. Above Amelia's voice messages were the messages Leona had sent over earlier. The me
After leaving Prescott Manor, Liam drove towards Riverbay Residence. However, when he arrived, he lost the courage to go inside. Judging from Amelia's voice messages, he could imagine how angry she was because of Leona's words. Looking at the still gloomy Amelia, May hesitated and asked, "Madam, Mr. Prescott seems to be back. Do you want me to—" "His decision to come in or not is his own choice. If he wants to come in, let him. If not, don't force him to!" May sensed Amelia's frustration. She wanted to ease the tension between them, but it seemed impossible. After a moment of hesitation, May returned to the kitchen. Liam lingered outside for nearly half an hour before finally entering. Amelia had already gone back to her room, so May discreetly indicated her location to Liam. May whispered, "Madam Amelia heard the car when you arrived, but since you didn't come in, she went back to her room." Nodding, Liam felt a mix of emotions. Before entering, he mentally prepar
"Don't overthink it. I'll fulfill the promises I made to you, but give me some time. After all, I have guilt towards her." Liam lowered his gaze, concealing all emotions, and spoke calmly. By this time, Amelia had come downstairs. She had seen him downstairs just as she was about to descend. She thought he had already left, but surprisingly, he was there all this while. Even though she didn't know who was on the other end of the call, she could guess the identity judging from his tone. Since he was sitting on the couch, Amelia didn't want to go to the living room. She turned towards the kitchen. Originally, she thought he had left and wanted to come down for a moment. Seeing him there changed her mind. In the kitchen, she poured herself a glass of water and went upstairs. "Do you believe me?" he asked. Her footsteps hesitated as she went upstairs. Amelia fell silent. At this point, it didn't matter whether she believed it or not. Liam felt somewhat disappointed when
She forcefully pushed away his hand. Despite being weakened by illness, she felt more spirited at that moment. Angry thoughts raced through her mind. "Only if he had approved? Would he have approved of me conceiving someone else's child? No wonder he said it was okay earlier!"She questioned, "How could he not know that those words were just uttered in anger?" She wondered if he was teasing her. Realizing this, Amelia became even more furious. Just as she was about to say something, May approached from the other side. "Madam, you didn't eat much earlier, and you vomited. I was afraid you'd be hungry, so I brought some snacks. You can have something to eat while we're on our way to the hospital," May said.May's interruption shifted Amelia's attention, and although still upset, she refrained from saying anything in front of May."Thank you," she nodded at May and ignored Liam. "Madam, you're welcome. You can rest on me for a while before we reach the hospital," May said
The infusion room was crowded. As soon as Liam entered, he noticed Amelia sitting next to a middle-aged man. He too was receiving infusions. Liam frowned at the scene. "Still can't behave properly even when sick," he said to himself, yet no one knew if he was referring to the man or complaining about Amelia. There was a television in the infusion room. The middle-aged man seemed to be watching it, but his gaze wandered and occasionally landed on Amelia. What frustrated Liam even more was that Amelia seemed oblivious. She was thoroughly engrossed in the television. "May doesn't know how to handle things!" Liam couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction with May at this moment. He quickly walked over, stood by Amelia, and blocked the middle-aged man's view with one hand. Amelia suddenly felt a dark shadow and looked up to see Liam's face. She instinctively leaned back as Liam was so close to her. "Didn't you leave?" she asked. May had informed her that Liam woul
May didn't tell Amelia about Liam's message because she was afraid Amelia would overthink things. Amelia was already disappointed in Liam, and hearing his words would only deepen her despair. Without Liam visiting in the following days, Amelia felt puzzled. However, she chose not to say anything. She thought it might be better if he didn't come, then she could live more freely. However, as time passed, she started to feel anxious. Concerns grew when there was no progress on Eric's side. Yet, Amelia hesitated to contact him as she didn't want to add pressure on him. Eric had called once, but his words didn't reassure her. He mentioned ongoing plans, but Liam's previous words left Amelia uneasy. With Liam absent, she worried about potential conflicts between him and Eric. So she spent her days online, hoping for news about the Prescott Group and Astra. Unfortunately, the lack of information disappointed her, and she felt uncertain on whether to feel relieved
Amelia didn't get an answer to her question.All she got was a conflicted look.She chuckled slightly, realizing that she had acted foolishly.Why would she ask such a question now?Why act so naive and pathetic?Liam looked at Amelia. Then, he stopped what he was doing and remained silent.Tears adorned Amelia's face, and Liam felt the urge to lower his head and kiss her tears away. However, he held himself back.He knew that his actions could be misunderstood. Sometimes, some things were out of his control.What had happened with Leona was something he couldn't explain. And he couldn't avoid the responsibility he had to bear."Go away!" Amelia suddenly shouted.Liam nodded. His voice was hoarse as he replied, "Alright, take care of yourself."With that, he didn't linger or hesitate any longer. He turned and left the room.Not long after, Amelia heard the sound of his car driving away.When she couldn't hear the car anymore, she burst into tears."Liam, you're such a j
