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
Liam reached out and pulled her into his arms, patting her back gently. "Go to sleep. You have to rest well so that you can take care of Grandma tomorrow. If you go in tomorrow with dark circles under your eyes, Grandma will feel sorry for you."Maria's health weighed heavily on Amelia's heart, making her look particularly fragile.She seized the opportunity to embrace Liam and asked with anticipation, "Grandma will get better, right? Everything will be fine, right?"Liam fell silent for a moment. Although he wanted to assure her that everything would be fine, he didn't want to give her false hope. He didn't want to disappoint her.Amelia immediately teared up when she didn't get a response from Liam. "You've said it before! With you around, nothing bad would happen. Why won't you say it this time?""Lia, I'm sorry." Liam felt his heart ache listening to Amelia's words. If he could, he would have fulfilled her wishes. But this time, he had to admit that he was powerless.Liam's
"I still remember how you looked like as a child. But you've grown up so much in the blink of an eye! Although you've been married for a few years now, in my mind you're still the child who used to follow me around!"Maria had a wistful smile on her face as she looked at Amelia.Feeling a little sentimental, Amelia hurriedly said, "Grandma, no matter how old I am, I'm still your granddaughter. Moreover, I'm still young and need your guidance. So, could you please reconsider your decision not to go for the surgery?"She looked at Maria with anticipation, but Maria simply smiled back at her. She reached out to touch Amelia's hand."I know what you're thinking. Silly girl. Everyone will die someday. Even though I endured so many hardships when I was young, I'm still quite afraid of pain. I already had a stroke once. Even if I die today, I have no regrets.""But Grandma, your body still can recover. You can still live a long and healthy life!" Amelia's voice was overwhelmed with emoti
Maria passed away a few days later. When it happened, Liam had been with Amelia on the rooftop of the tallest building in Sableton, watching the city lights."I've always felt that Sableton was a huge city. But now, it looks so small!"Looking at Amelia's smiling face, Liam decided to indulge her. "Do you like the scenery from up here?"Amelia nodded with a smile. Recently, she hadn't had a chance to relax at all because she was so worried about Maria's condition.Initially, she wasn't even willing to go out after dinner, but Liam insisted on bringing her here. He wanted her to see the beautiful sight."It's a pity that this place is not accessible regularly."It was a commercial building. So, it was mostly occupied by companies, and outsiders were not normally allowed inside.She noticed that they needed access cards to use the elevator. But she didn't know how Liam got them.Seeing Amelia deep in thought, Liam asked, "If I gave this building to you, would you … wait for me?"
Amelia understood that if she insisted on staying, it would only make things more chaotic.She looked at Liam seriously and said, "Regardless of the circumstances, you are still her grandson-in-law. Lots of guests are here because of you. I trust that you can handle the situation."Liam nodded. "Don't worry. Just get some rest and come back later."Eric felt bitter hearing their conversation. Although he was there, Amelia didn't ask him for help. He had been more than happy to help out without being asked, but he was simply ignored.Despite Maria's disappointment with Liam, Amelia still trusted him with her grandma's funeral. It indicated that Liam still had a significant place in her heart."The granddaughter of the Jensons is really fortunate to have married such a well-off man.""Initially, they said she had been sold off by her uncle. But now, it seems like she made the right choice by marrying her husband. If it weren't for him, this funeral wouldn't be so grand. Look at the
