"Have you had enough of looking?"The man raised his head. Amelia could see his face better now. She nodded subconsciously. "Yes, now I've seen your face properly.""Why were they chasing you?"Hearing that question, Amelia suddenly returned to her senses. "Sir, can you please take me outside? I don't want to return to that village!"She gripped the man's hand, pleading."You're from Bryxton?" The man glanced calmly at the hands gripping his arm. She had slender fingers, but sadly, her hands were covered in dust. She was quite filthy."Yes, I need to leave. I don't want to go back to the village!" Amelia suppressed the fear in her heart. She had a feeling that the man was capable of helping her.Even though she was scared of his cold demeanor, she still held onto the man's arm tightly. She feared that he would turn her away."Running away won't solve the problem. Tell me what happened."The man's sharp gaze suddenly gave Amelia courage. Releasing her grip on him, she settled i

"Ms. Summers, do you know what homewrecker even means? I married Liam first, and you butted in afterward."If that isn't the textbook definition of a homewrecker, then what is, Ms. Summers?"There was a faint smile on Amelia's face.She didn't realize it, but her smile made Ava even angrier.To Ava, Amelia thought that she was better than her. She had the gall to speak to Ava in disdain.Ava thought, "She's just a country bumpkin. Where does she get this arrogance from? She's only this confident because she married Liam!""Liam and I are in love. You're the homewrecker who's getting between us!" Ava screamed, "You're the homewrecker!"Amelia stood up and looked down at her. "Only insecure people repeat falsehoods they believe to be true."Ms. Summers, how reluctant are you to believe that the feelings between you and Liam aren't real?""What are you saying?" Ava screamed. She raised her hand to hit Amelia.Amelia quickly dodged and then grabbed her arm. "Take a good look arou

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

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

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
