"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

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!"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

After listening to Amelia, Alex nodded thoughtfully. "No matter what happened in the past, you're still their daughter. Since they're getting married now, you should go. "Besides, didn't you force your dad to choose? He just chose your mom. If you don't want to accept them as your parents, then you should take this opportunity to clear things up so that you won't have to be distressed all the time in the future."On the day of the wedding banquet, Amelia got all dressed up. The Jacksons' family home was not in Sableton, so she set off earlier to avoid the traffic.Amelia was fully focused on her driving. Even though there wasn't much traffic, her eyes were glued to the road ahead. She didn't notice that there was a car following her.While stopped at a red light, Eric noticed a familiar-looking car to his right. Just as the lights turned green, Eric saw that it was Amelia's car. Raising his eyebrows, he felt delighted as he hadn't expected to see her on the road.Just as he thoug

Liam turned his back on Leona, unwilling to face her. "You keep saying that I won't divorce Amelia. It's true. Because if I divorce her, I'll have to marry you. But I feel disgusted thinking about how I'll have to sleep with a woman like you. I feel dirty."Leona's jaw fell. "So that's why." She then smiled bitterly. "But Liamo, it wasn't like I lost my virginity by choice. When I was engaged to Luke, I still thought about you a lot. And when Luke tried to initiate sex, I turned him down."Men have their needs. I know that. So I let Luke sleep with other women. I kept this fact from everyone. But one day, he was drunk. And he … He forced himself on me." Leona began weeping pitifully.Liam just started at Leona. After a while, he offered her a hand. "Get up. The floor is cold."Leona was overjoyed. "Liamo, you still care about me, don't you? You still love me."After Liam guided Leona to the couch, he continued, "I know it wasn't your choice. But what happened that day happened. I
