"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
Benjamin rushed over three days after Maria's funeral. Over the past two days, David and Monica had argued repeatedly over the donations, making Peter extremely angry."Get Liam to return all the donations from his associates. The rest should go to Amelia!" Peter slammed the table angrily. He was deeply disappointed by his children's behavior.Monica widened her eyes. "Return it? We can't do that! We've already accepted it. Moreover, even if we return it, people won't take it back! Besides, that's too embarrassing!"David also hesitated. But looking at the expressions on Peter and Amelia, he quietly passed the bag to Amelia. She sighed in relief when David did so. Fortunately, he still had some conscience.After some further bickering, Liam finally proposed to divide the money into three portions. David would take 60 percent and Amelia would take 20 percent. The remainder would be distributed by Peter.Watching her family argue over money made Amelia bitter. Maria had just passed
"Benjamin!"Upon hearing Amelia's condition, Monica panicked and immediately looked at Benjamin with a pleading expression.Even he was shocked. "Amelia, Monica is your mother. Why do you want—""Because I don't want a mother like her!" Amelia sneered and smiled mockingly.Monica glanced at Benjamin and burst into tears. "Amelia, I know you still blame me for leaving you back then. But … I really had no choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have—""That's enough!" Amelia coldly interrupted her and looked at Benjamin. "I've stated my condition. The decision is yours."The rest of the Jensons looked at Amelia silently."I haven't had parents since I was a baby. They never raised me. Now that I'm all grown up, they just want me to go back to them. Things are not that simple." Amelia spoke without waiting for Peter to respond."I support you, just do whatever you think is right!" Liam patted Amelia's hair, smiling tenderly.Seeing Amelia's steadfastness, Peter didn't try to persuade her o
