Amelia's words shocked Ava.Ava felt a little hurt. Even though Liam knew about her feelings toward him, and even got more intimate with her, he was still cold to her.It didn't matter anyhow. She was alone back then. But now, she had support. She believed that he could learn to treat her better.As she comforted herself with these thoughts, Ava regained courage."You're wasting your breath. No matter how upset or cunning you are, you can't change the fact that I'm the mother of his child. Nothing will change the fact that I'm Liam's woman!"Just give up and leave, or things will only get worse for you!"She spoke gleefully as she rubbed her belly proudly.Amelia’s heart soured. Ava was right. Those two facts were something she could not change.Still, she refused to back down.She looked coldly at Ava. "So what? You think you're all that. But remember, as long I’m around, you're just a homewrecker. Unless I leave Liam’s side, people will always look down on you."Even if you
Back in her room, Amelia could still feel Liam’s hot, burning gaze.She sensed that Liam must have heard everything she said.Putting her ear to the door, Amelia tried to catch any sounds coming from downstairs. Unfortunately, she couldn't hear anything.It took only a few minutes before she heard movement. Someone was walking toward the bedroom. She hastily sat on the couch.When Liam entered, he saw her smiling very politely."You're back!"Frowning, he glanced at her and snorted petulantly.She was instantly anxious.While she was worried about what he’d do to her, he gave her nothing but a glance before going into the bathroom.She let out a sigh of relief, but she was still worried. After a moment, she grabbed her bag and went out.When Liam came out of the bathroom, he noticed that Amelia was gone from the bedroom. When he realized that she wasn't downstairs either, he frowned."Mr. Prescott, the Madam just went out."He sneered again. She had escaped quickly enough.
The next morning, Amelia woke up late on purpose so that she wouldn't bump into Liam.However, while she was having breakfast, May told her that Liam had just returned from his business trip.Hence, things were hectic at his company, so he went out early that morning. He didn't even have breakfast.Amelia didn't believe it. She thought that Liam was gone already because he was so mad at her that he didn't even want to look at her.It could be intentional or coincidental, but the two were caught in a strange cycle.They were living under the same roof, but she hadn't seen him in days.One day, Amelia received a call.Looking at the name on the display, she hesitated for a moment. There was a complicated expression on her face."Dad."She never thought that Liam’s dad would call her."Amelia, why don't you come over for dinner with Liam tonight?""Dad, did you tell Liam about it? He's been busy lately, so … he might not be able to come.”Liam didn't even want to see Amelia at
Amelia pursed her lips, thinking, "What does he mean by that?""So are you going?" she asked."It's just a meal. What's so important about it? Do you want to go so badly?""Not really. If you don't want to go, I'll tell your dad."As expected, Liam didn't want to go.Amelia was about to hang up when she heard Liam say, "If you still want to make a fool of yourself, we can go.""A fool of yourself," Amelia repeated in her head. "Yes, I do that every time I go to Prescott Manor."She smiled self-deprecatingly. Even so, she had to go.The Prescott Manor compound was the same as always. Servants bustled about in preparation for the dinner tonight.Amelia had never eaten her fill when she came here for meals.The moment Amelia entered, Ember watched her belly like a hawk. From time to time, Ember would say hurtful words to Amelia."Still nothing?""That celebrity's belly is about to show!""If you don't want to be Mrs. Prescott, you should just tell me!"When Amelia heard Embe
When Amelia woke up, she found herself in a hospital.The environment in the VIP ward was great. She was the only one there. The room was quiet, and no one else was around.She sat up and shook her head, which felt heavy. She thought about what happened last night. She only remembered leaving Prescott Manor. She felt depressed when she thought about her circumstances.She remembered crying, but nothing came to mind after that. She didn't know why she was in the hospital."You're awake. Let's take your temperature again."A nurse came in. Amelia cooperated with the procedure. Then, she asked, "May I know who sent me here?""Your husband did. He watched over you for the whole night, and he left this morning."Smiling, the nurse continued, "Your husband looked quite anxious. You're lucky to have met a man who cares about you so much."Amelia smiled, thinking, "Caring? Hah. Couldn’t have been Liam.""101 degrees. Your fever has gone down quite a lot, but there’s still an inflammat
"Bang!" The fist landed just a finger's width away from her head.When Liam lifted his hand again, Amelia was stunned.Before the loud noise crashed next to her, she closed her eyes in fear. However, the pain she anticipated didn't come."Why can't you talk things out, Amelia? You're an adult now, but you keep trying to run away from home. Is that fun for you?"No one knew how worried he was when he saw that she was missing from the hospital.Last night, he saw her sobbing in a dark corner, crouched over like she could barely stand. Then, she fell to the ground silently.He rushed over to her. When he touched her, he could feel her burning body, even through her clothes.He sent her to the hospital. The doctor said that her body was weak, and she had inflammation. Her body burned at 103 degrees.If she had been sent to the hospital even a little later, her fever might have caused damage to her brain.She had a high fever, but she stayed in the hospital for only one night befor
That night, Amelia's fever receded. But, Liam still refused to let her be discharged. He stayed with her overnight in the hospital.On the third day, the fever was gone. Still, Amelia had to take the drips for that day.Seeing Liam's serious expression, Amelia felt a little defeated."Aren't you supposed to go to work instead of staying with me?" Didn't Ava need his company as well?Glancing at Amelia, Liam said coldly, "I can handle myself. You focus on getting better."Just then, Liam's phone rang. Amelia saw the name on the display.Ava was calling.Liam didn't answer it right away. Glancing at her, he took his phone and left the room."Why was Ava calling him?" Amelia wondered.She suddenly felt a bitter feeling in her heart.She had been silly. The conflict between them was serious, but he only had to treat her a little nicer for her to forget about the truth."Hello, is Liam here?"A knock sounded on the door. A woman in professional clothing stood at the entrance. Th
"When I come back, I'll explain to you what happened with Ava." When they arrived at Riverbay Residence, Liam got out of the car with Amelia. He caressed her hair again.He seemed to be fond of doing this recently.The look in Amelia's eyes flickered as she looked up at him."If she comes again, don't let her in. Just ask the security guards to get rid of her. I already told them about this,” he said before going back into the car.As Amelia watched Liam get into the car, she felt like she could hear her own heartbeat.When the car left, she saw a woman's face reflected in the rearview mirror. The woman seemed to be looking at her with a weird smile on her face.Thanks to the words Liam spoke before he left, Amelia began to hope.But at that moment, she didn't expect that another crisis would soon befall her.Liam hadn't come back to explain the matter between him and Ava, but Amelia already saw news of Ava on the internet.Ava's child was gone.For some reason, she had misca
