Chapter: CHAPTER 124 Knowing The Truth"Damn it, Amelia,nothing can happen to you,you haven't accepted my apology, I won't allow anything to happen to you, you have to join me in finding out who killed Grandpa!" Alex looked nervously at Amelia's pale face, a heart beating wildly, he felt the frighteningly light weight on his hands,inwardly more self-condemnation, looking at Amelia's eyes deeper and deeper, full of heartache and guilt.Alex drove the driver straight out of the car, got himself into the driver's seat and roared along at top speed. In this short moment, everyone on the scene is like watching a big drama of emotional entanglement, after seeing the main character has left the scene,have also dispersed the scene.On the contrary, Louis Grey, grabbed Jenny who wanted to escape in the crowd,he looked at Jenny coldly and said in a cold voice:"Jenny your sister has fainted, don't you want to follow to the hospital to take a look?" "Let go of me, who are you to discipline me, she's not even my sister, I've been a

Chapter: CHAPTER 123 "Amelia, I'm sorry...."Emily also came more closely behind Louis Grey, Emily tried to take Amelia from Louis Grey's hand, but was dodged by Louis Grey, Emily froze for a moment and gave up the idea of taking Amelia from Louis Grey's arms, just let Alex see more and be angry with him to death."Louis Grey, I've warned you many times." Alex looked at Louis Grey coldly, his low voice cutting through the silent air.Louis Grey, however, did not talk nonsense with Alex, directly took out the phone from his pocket, gathered it in mid-air and said to the people around him, "I have Amelia's alibi here, which proves that when Grandfather Brian Hall died, Amelia had no knowledge of it and had left the hospital long ago."Louis Grey shifted his eyes to Alex's and said in a gruff voice, "Here is all the video evidence, as well as the witnesses, and I sent you a copy of all the specific information by email, as well as a copy to the police department."Alex's expression is more gloomy, his thin lips gently open, be

Chapter: CHAPTER 122 What are you doing here?It turns out that she is the real culprit......As if the sky was responding to Amelia's thoughts, a bolt of lightning struck, followed by the deafening sound of thunder.Instantly the entire sky was clouded over, and bean-sized raindrops poured down, one by one, on Amelia's hair, face and body.People around have opened their umbrellas, and those unfamiliar with them happened to take advantage of the rain to leave the chaotic funeral scene.Amelia was in some pain from the rain, her body, which had not eaten or slept properly for a week, and had endured so much torture, was on the verge of not being able to support herself at this moment, and her kneeling body had begun to stagger, and she might faint at any moment.After each body tilt, Amelia would fight to get back on her knees, as if that would ease the pain she felt inside. Alex did not leave the scene because of the rain, Jenny gritted her teeth and held open the umbrella to help Alex block the rain, Alex just faintly glance

Chapter: CHAPTER 121 The AccusationShe has lost weight again, and her wrists, which were already very slim, are now surprisingly slim again.Alex paused for just a moment, then, without using much force, dragged Amelia out of the single room."What do you want to do?" Amelia's voice was still very hoarse, her speech was still very clear, and not understanding what Alex was trying to do by suddenly appearing, she instinctively asked."Taking you to confess!" Alex just dragged Amelia along, without the slightest pause on the way, and without taking care of the slightest Amelia's pace.Amelia, because she hadn't walked for too long, and because she hadn't eaten or slept well in the past few days, and had several attacks, her whole body was already very weak and couldn't keep up with Alex's speed.She stumbled a little on the way, and Alex didn't pause, just dragged her to the car.At this time, Amelia's legs were scraped in many places, and even blood was seeping out. Amelia was numb, could not feel the pain. Alex, but

Chapter: CHAPTER 120 I Didn't Kill Grandfather! The whistling police car departed from the hospital.Alex's face is very gloomy looking at the distant police car, his hands clenched fists, he is trying to control the imminent loss of emotion.Alex understands that even with the evidence in his hands now, he cannot just conclude that Amelia must be Grandfather Brian Hall's killer.But she was the first suspect, and even though he wanted to solve it himself, in the end he chose to turn both Amelia and the evidence over to the police.He just watched as the police took Amelia away, just as they had taken Raymond Cole away then.Amelia did not open her mouth to beg for mercy until she got into the car, and her eyes, which were still tinged with terror, also turned to anger after Alex called the police.Amelia didn't say another word, just looked at Alex quietly, as if to say, "You finally did it, just like you framed Raymond Cole, and framed me in prison too."Alex was silent with a very ugly face. Jenny tried to reach up and pull Alex

Chapter: CHAPTER 119 I Won't Pity YouAmelia looked at Alex with horror. The pain in her cheek was nothing at this point, it was more the words that Alex said that shocked her.Amelia looked at Alex with wide eyes, she opened her mouth to explain, but Alex choked her so she couldn't make a sound.Amelia put her hands on Alex's choking hands and tried to break free from Alex's grip. The lack of oxygen made her unable to use an ounce of strength.Amelia gradually struggled less and less, she found it more and more difficult to breathe, that suffocating feeling of losing oxygen.For a moment, Amelia seemed to see Grandfather Brian Hall smiling at her from in front of her. She reached out to pull Grandfather Brian Hall in, but she didn't have the strength to lift her hand.Alex watched as Amelia's struggle grew smaller and smaller, and the glow in her bright eyes was fading, the scarlet in her eyes fading as he let go of his hand.Amelia's body lost its support and fell straight to the ground, she breathed heavily and breat

Chapter: Chapter 209 Borrowed Hours—Sophia’s POVThe beeping had gotten inside my head. I couldn’t tell anymore if it was real or just the sound of my blood in my ears. Every second. Every beat. Reminding me he was still here. Or warning me he might not be.Ethan was slumped forward again, forehead pressed to the bed rail, his hand covering Irene’s tiny hand. His back rose and fell in sharp jerks. I don’t think he was asleep. I don’t think he even remembered how.I sat on the edge of the bed, numb from holding myself up. My spine ached. My eyes burned like sand. But I couldn’t close them. Not when Irene’s chest rose so unevenly.He stirred again. Not much. Just a twitch of fingers, a shiver in his lashes.“Baby?” My voice cracked. I leaned down.“…Mom.”The word was hoarse, broken. But it was there. His lips moved again, slow, like he had to fight for every syllable.“…cold.”I swallowed hard, grabbing the blanket higher around him, tucking it under his chin. My fingers rubbed his arms, his chest, trying to press m

Chapter: Chapter 208 The Weight of Waiting—Sophia’s POVThe night folded into morning without permission. I didn’t even know when the sky shifted. The blinds bled gray light across the room, cutting sharp lines over Irene’s body, over Ethan’s shadowed face. Everything felt wrong. Too quiet. Too loud. My heart beat like it was trying to make up for his.Ethan hadn’t moved from the chair again. His hands were locked together, pressed against his mouth like prayer or punishment, I couldn’t tell which. His eyes stayed glued to Irene’s chest, rising, falling. Rising. Falling. Every breath sounded like gravel through water.Irene stirred, his lashes twitching, a soft sound scratching out of his throat. I leaned close, my body trembling from sitting in the same position for hours. “Baby?”His lips shaped something. I bent lower, ear pressed near his mouth.“…tired.”Just that. One word. Fragile.My chest collapsed. I kissed his hairline, his temple, his cheek. “I know. I know, sweetheart. You rest. We’re here.”Ethan shot forwar

Chapter: Chapter 207 Fractures—Sophia’s POVThe morning after his whisper didn’t feel like morning. It felt like someone had dragged the night across the floor and left scraps of light on the walls. I sat in the chair, my neck stiff, my body shaking in waves I couldn’t stop.Irene’s hand was in mine. Still warm. Not strong. But warm.Ethan hadn’t moved in hours. He was folded forward in that hospital chair like his body was a question with no answer. His beard shadow was thick, his shirt wrinkled so bad it looked like he’d slept on the floor. He hadn’t. He hadn’t slept at all.Irene’s lips parted again. No sound. Just air.I leaned down, my hair falling around his face. “Baby? Say it again. I’m here.”He swallowed, his throat working hard. His lashes fluttered.“…Mom.”The word was softer than a breath, but it cracked something inside me wide open. I kissed his temple, his damp hair, my tears soaking him. “I’m here, baby. Always. Always here.”Ethan’s hand clamped on the rail like he was bracing himself against

Chapter: Chapter 206 Borrowed Hours—Sophia’s POVThe morning didn’t come so much as bleed in. Slow. Reluctant. Like it didn’t want to see us. Like even the sun couldn’t stand the weight in this room.The blinds leaked thin strips of light across Irene’s bed. Lines cutting across his face, pale and soft.His lips were parted, skin clammy but not gray. Still pink enough. Still alive enough.My hands hadn’t left him all night. One on his chest, counting, again and again. Rise. Fall. Proof. The other tangled with his fingers, though his grip was loose, almost nothing.Ethan was a wreck beside me. Head tipped against the rail, beard rough against his arm, his hand locked on Irene’s wrist like he was guarding a pulse that could vanish. His shirt was wrinkled, damp. I couldn’t tell if it was sweat or tears. Both. Probably both.The monitor beeped, steady. Not strong. Not weak. Just there. I hated that sound. I loved that sound. Every beat cut me open and stitched me back together in the same second.Irene stirred. Not muc

Chapter: Chapter 205 The Longest Day—Sophia’s POVThe first light hit his face soft. Pale gold through the blinds. Too gentle for what we’d been through. For what was happening in this room.I hated it.And I loved it.Because it showed me his skin was still warm.Irene’s lashes flickered. He didn’t open his eyes. Just small movements. Little reminders that there was still a fight in him, even if it was thin and fragile.Ethan hadn’t slept. I don’t think I had either. But he looked worse. His face gray, hollow, like he’d aged years in a night. His beard was patchy, uneven. His shirt clung to him like it had soaked up sweat and tears both.He leaned forward, elbows digging into his knees, both hands still locked around our son’s. His knuckles white, like if he loosened even a fraction, Irene would slip right out of the world.“You feel that?” Ethan’s voice cracked, almost too low to hear. He glanced at me, wild-eyed, whispering fast. “He’s warmer today. His hand’s warmer.”I reached across, slid my palm against Irene’

Chapter: Chapter 204 The Weight of Breathing—Sophia’s POVThe word sat in the air like it didn’t belong to us.Love.Too fragile. Too heavy. Too much.My lips were still pressed against his hair. Ethan’s hands were still cupping his face like he was holding something that could vanish if he blinked.“…love you.”It replayed in my skull, looping, like I’d imagined it. Like maybe exhaustion had spun sound out of silence. But no. Ethan had heard it too. His whole body was trembling, like the sound itself had torn him apart.I couldn’t stop crying. Couldn’t even breathe right.My chest was raw, my throat scratched open, but none of it mattered because my son had just said it. He remembered. He knew. He loved.Ethan kissed his temple again, over and over, desperate. Whispering fast into his skin. “We love you more. More than anything, champ. Don’t forget it. Don’t ever forget it.” His tears were everywhere, sliding down Irene’s face, down his cheeks, soaking the pillow.And Irene, God, he blinked. Slow. Heavy. But his gaze tilted
