Lucas looked at Leona standing in front of him. He suddenly felt like he didn't know her at all.It might be because she had been "dead" for three years, and the two grew apart because of their lack of interaction. But it might also be because he never truly knew her."You can't see very well, so you shouldn't walk around like that. I'll take you inside."Lucas didn't continue the conversation. He just wanted to be done with Leona instead of engaging in ambiguous talk with her.Of course, when he said that he was taking her inside, he was referring to Liam's ward.Leona seemed to understand what he meant, but she shook her head. "I've already visited Liamo. I want to visit Amelia next."When Lucas heard that, he looked at her. He wasn't surprised by her words at all.He had already planned to leave, but he turned around and came back exactly because of this."I don't think you should visit her right now," Lucas spoke indifferently.He thought that Leona was indeed differen
The door of the ward suddenly opened. Ember walked out.She glanced at the three. Then, she said to Leona, "Since we're done with the visitations, let's go home."When Leona heard Ember's voice, she nodded obediently."What a tame little lamb!" Lily couldn't help but mock as she watched Leona walk behind Ember, holding onto the chauffeur for support.Lucas glanced at her in exasperation. "You didn't have to go and offend her.""You're scared of offending her, but I'm not!" Lily glared at him. "If I hadn't arrived in time just now, would you have allowed her to go in?"The exasperated smile remained on Lucas' face. "Of course not. Also, I'm not scared of offending her either. I was just worried that you might not get the upper hand when dealing with her. She's quite tricky."When Lily heard him saying that, she sighed in amazement. "Oh, so you know that she's tricky now? Why did you always say that she was a kind and generous woman in the past? You treated her like some goddess
After Lily arrived, Lucas went to the ward next door to tell Liam that Lily was there.Liam nodded. "It's not a bad thing. Lily may be able to comfort her. But …"Lucas knew what Liam was worried about, so he hastily reassured, "Don't worry, Liam. Lily has a sharp tongue, and she can say harsh words, but she always knows where to draw the line."Brandon was disdainful. He didn't believe that Lily would know where to draw the line.But even if that was what he thought, he didn't voice it out. He played along and told Liam to relax and focus on recuperating.Then, Brandon said, "By the way, Liam, after I captured that man, I wanted to go after another man. But before I could catch up to him, that man was captured as well.""Oh? Whose men were they?" Liam was a little puzzled.Brandon shook his head. "I don't know him, but he said that he knows you. Moreover, it was an urgent situation back then, so I didn't ask too much about it."When I chased the two men back with them, I saw y
Oscar and Amelia were really close friends. That was why Amelia wrote the script for Oscar. Oscar was the main actor, but he didn't have to be on set every day, since there were other supporting roles in the movie. However, because Amelia was the scriptwriter, Oscar not only appeared on set daily, but he also guided other actors in their performances. The director even praised the exceptional acting of the entire cast.This was a good thing. But Liam didn't see it that way. Amelia was his wife, after all. It was hard for him to see other men helping her achieve her dreams."Liam, when Amelia writes another script, we can—" "Not anymore," Liam said softly. "What do you mean?" Lucas didn't understand what he meant. Liam suddenly chuckled with a hint of self-mockery.Although he didn't explain anything, Lucas felt a strange sadness within Liam.…In the afternoon, One-Eye's subordinate came to visit Liam, which didn't surprise him."Thank your boss for me," Lia
Liam pursed his lips, and the smile disappeared from his face. He knew the loss of the child had a significant impact on Amelia. But it was his child too!The loss also affected him deeply, perhaps even more than Amelia. For him, it wasn't just about losing a child."Lia, if you're willing, we can still have children in the future. Just one child would be too lonely. We can have more together—" Amelia chuckled lightly. "Are you joking with me?" Her laughter carried a hint of mockery. Liam could sense it, but he wasn't surprised by Amelia's reaction. "Lia, the words I said in front of the kidnappers back then weren't real. I said those things just to ensure your safety. You and the child are equally important to me." He sighed and continued, "The child is gone, and I'm saddened too. But I don't want you to be sad about this forever. We should look forward, and let the past be in the past." His words were laden with profound emotion, and it came out with a heav
Amelia chuckled softly as she watched Liam hurry away. Her emotions were a mystery.When Liam came to visit the next day, he avoided bringing up anything that might upset Amelia. He only focused on updates about Kenneth and Christopher. "Christopher's supervisor said he's doing great in the company." Liam shared. "He's enthusiastic, friendly with colleagues, and eager to learn. If he continues like this, he might be able to shift to the Business Department next year."Amelia listened attentively, but she remained silent. Liam had introduced Christopher to a job. However, he didn't use his connections to secure a better position for Christopher.Amelia agreed with this decision. Although she wanted to help Christopher, her main goal was to help him grow and take responsibility for himself. According to Liam, Christopher had genuinely improved. Despite being an ordinary employee at the moment, Christopher's prospects appeared promising. If he moved to the Business Depart
"Is that so? But what does that have to do with me? If your husband truly owns a big company and needs money, he can get a loan from the bank or directly approach Liam. After all, my money comes from Liam, and I don't understand business matters. There's no use in coming to me." As Sarah realized that she wouldn't be getting money from Amelia that day, she felt a surge of resentment. "Amelia, it's your fault that your uncle and cousins abandoned me. My life is a mess because of you. You need to take responsibility!" she howled. Amelia ignored Sarah's unreasonable accusations. "If you think it's my responsibility, then go ahead and sue me. As long as the court accepts it, and you can provide evidence against me, I'll give you the money." "You!" Sarah wouldn't actually take legal action. "Don't you want to know about Monica? I saw her a few days ago." Amelia fell silent for a moment when Sarah mentioned that name. Thinking she had touched a nerve, Sarah gloated, "
Alex fell silent as she listened to Amelia's words. Then, she said, "If he really thinks that way, he's just shameless. What's the difference between this and manipulating emotions!""Perhaps he doesn't see it as manipulating emotions, but rather as the best way to have the best of both worlds," Amelia replied.Saying this, Amelia felt a sense of sadness. They remained silent for a while. Then, Alex asked, "If that's the case, he'll still divorce you, but it might take some time, right?" "But I don't want to wait. Alex, can you tell me about the plan you mentioned last time?" Amelia urged. After hesitating for a while, Alex decided to share the plan with her. "With Liam's influence and resources, forcing him to divorce you is nearly impossible. The only viable option is through legal means. But you couldn't do it when you were pregnant. During a woman's pregnancy, divorce can't happen without both parties agreeing.""Now that the child is gone, can we proceed?" Am
