"Monica, you're … such a disappointment to me and your mom!"Peter looked at Monica with a disappointed expression. Then, he glanced at his wife, who was in the ward. He suddenly let out a sigh as he waved at Monica."Just leave. Don't stay here any longer. I'm worried that your mom might get worked up again when she sees you. It might worsen her health."Monica didn't care about the health of the person inside the ward. She only cared about whether her goals were achieved or not. She looked at Peter. "Dad, now that things have turned out like this, how much worse can it get? Why don't we just settle everything today?"Despite Peter's protests, Monica entered the ward."I know that every one of you is blaming me for what happened today, but I am sincerely doing this for Amelia's good. She is my daughter, so as her mother, why would I harm her? Everyone, look at this!"Monica produced a document from her bag. Amelia didn't want to humor her, but Monica brought the document to Am
Amelia crouched under a huge tree by the road, sobbing in sorrow. A handkerchief was handed to her. "Come, wipe your tears. A pond is forming on the ground under you."When Amelia heard that voice, she felt a little awkward. She stopped crying. Taking the handkerchief, she wiped her tears and then looked at the person. "Why are you here?"Eric sat down next to her."Bella wanted to ask you out for a meal, but she couldn't reach you on the phone. So, I went to Riverbay Residence to see you, but I heard from the security guard of the residential area that you came back to spend the new year. Bella couldn't reach you, and when I tried to call you, the calls wouldn't go through either. I was worried about you, so I wanted to come over to visit you. I didn't expect to see you crying by the road as soon as I arrived."Amelia felt a little touched when she heard him saying how worried he was about her."The signal is a little faulty over here, so phones rarely get signals or internet
Amelia felt a little bad because of what Liam said, but she also felt mistreated because of his tone."Yes, Grandma misunderstood you, but it wasn't a false accusation that you wanted to divorce me to marry another woman, right?"As for the divorce agreement, Amelia could only let Liam take the blame.Maria was in bad enough shape, so Amelia was even more hesitant to let Maria know about her getting kidnapped. Amelia feared that in her current condition, Maria wouldn't be able to withstand that."Amelia, I've already told you so many times that I don't want a divorce. You were the one who kept trying to divorce me. Think about it. Haven't I done enough to beg you to stay?"Amelia pursed her lips. "So what?""'So what?' 'So what?' Hah, Amelia, no one in this world knows how to hurt me better than you do. No one is as cruel and heartless as you!"With that, Liam turned around and left. He was furious, but he also felt helpless. He truly couldn't do anything about it. She knew ve
"Sorry, I shouldn't have used that tone with you."After entering the room, Amelia apologized to Liam, but she was still frowning."But can you please stop targeting him?"Pursing his lips, Liam looked at her. "Are you taking his side and abandoning me now?"Amelia felt a headache coming on. "I'm not taking anyone's side. It's just that … He came over today because he couldn't reach me on my phone. He was worried about me, so he came over to check on me. This has nothing to do with the grudges between you two or anything work-related."Liam said, "You bought ointment for him, but why didn't you buy any for me?"Liam admitted that he was indeed jealous. Amelia studied Liam from head to toe with a suspicious look on her face. "Were you hurt?"The injuries on Eric's face were obvious enough."He punched me in the stomach. Did you forget about that?"At that moment, Liam realized that despite Eric's gentle appearance, Eric's heart was unbelievably evil.When they were fight
Peter sighed when he heard that. "Fate is cruel indeed! Your grandmother believed Liam back then because she saw him constantly thinking of his late crush. She was sure that if you got married to a loyal man like him, he would take responsibility and take good care of you. You and Liam seemed to get along well, so your grandmother and I were relieved to see that. But unexpectedly, you two still ended up like this. It has been so many years, but he's still thinking of that woman. Well, then, divorce doesn't sound like a bad idea. It's not too bad to just return to your initial states."Peter wasn't too emotional about it, and Amelia was relieved to see that. Still …"But what about the divorce agreement? According to what I know of Liam, he wouldn't have let you leave the marriage with nothing to your name. Did that woman force him to do it?"The next moment, Peter's question caused Amelia to tense up again."Why did you ask that?""After you got married to him, even though we we
"What did you tell her?""Of course, I said that you and Liam got along quite well in the past. But after that woman came back, you two began to get into conflicts. If not, judging by your grandmother's health, she wouldn't be able to take it if I told her the truth!"After Monica finished saying that, she even looked proudly at Amelia. "What do you think? It should be fine if I put it like that, right?"Amelia felt her heart turning even colder when she heard Monica's words."When did you come into contact with her? Did she approach you, or vice versa?"Who had the divorce agreement initially? The more Amelia thought about it, the more disturbed she felt.The woman standing in front of her was her mother! Even though Amelia didn't admit to it, she knew very well that it didn't matter whether she acknowledged it or not. Monica was still her mother!If Leona was the one who held the divorce agreement at first, Amelia would feel a little better about it.But if Monica was the o
"Grandma!"Amelia hastily rushed home. At that moment, Liam couldn't be bothered to keep his promise to Amelia anymore as he followed suit.Before they arrived, they were halfway there when they encountered Christopher heading toward them. Christopher was carrying Maria on his back while Peter supported Maria by her side.Even David limped beside them."I'll get the car!"By the looks of it, they were taking Maria to the hospital. Amelia hastily nodded. "Hurry!"She spoke anxiously, but while she was speaking, Liam had already dashed off."Amelia, I saw Liam just now. Is he getting the car?" Christopher hastily asked.Amelia nodded. But before Amelia could say anything, Maria waved her hands frantically, saying emotionally, "N-No!""Grandma, this is not the time. Just forget about those things. You have to get to the hospital first. If you feel bad about it, I'll give him money later. We'll just pretend that we're renting his car!"Amelia was so anxious that she was teari
"N-No, that can't be. You must have misdiagnosed, I'm sure!""Lia …"Liam was worried when he saw how worked up Amelia was. The doctor's expression shifted a little because of Amelia's words. "If you doubt our medical skills, you can transfer her to other hospitals at any time!""Since the patient is in a dire condition, you should be thinking of ways to save her instead of talking about transferring her to other hospitals. Aren't you already proving that your medical skills are questionable?"Liam coldly looked up at the doctor in front of him. "Also, you guys are not only lacking in medical skills, but you're also lacking in ethics!"As Liam spoke, he patted Amelia on the shoulder. Taking out his phone, he called Gio. "Contact a decent doctor right now. Also, contact the hospital to arrange a ward. I want to transfer Grandma to another hospital."After ending the call, Liam ignored the doctor's foul expression as he said with a dark look, "I don't care what you do, but yo
