Chapter 23 Two days later, Amelia was called home because her grandfather was finally going to announce his will. Although he had mostly been in politics, his deceased had entrusted all the shares of the History entertainment industry to him. He had the right to distribute it as he saw fit. His wife had been so devoted to the company. She had even found a replacement for him before she died because she knew that her husband was an amateur when it came to managing a business. Derek was actually just going to read the will that his wife had written before she died. He had never looked at it before because he knew that his wife would make the best decision but no one knew about that. They all thought that he was the one who had written the will. Amelia was a little late and she arrived when everyone was already seated. she looked at the round table and saw that there was not a single unfamiliar face except for the person who looked like the lawyer. Her grandfather was sitting at the
Chapter 24 Amelia stumbled out of the Lightwood house. She knew that she was losing too much blood and her consciousness was fading but she did not want to fall in front of those people. She clutched the knife on her lower belly and quickened her pace. As long as she could leave this place, she knew that she would be able to find help. When she arrived outside the gate, she thought she saw a familiar-looking Porsche. She shook her head and thought that she might have lost a lot of blood and that she was hallucinating. Whether she was hallucinating or not, she wanted to walk over to the car but before she could make another step, she felt her legs grow heavy and she stumbled forward. Axel, who had locked his eyes on her ever since she left the gate, was shocked when he saw that Amelia was falling. Something seemed off with her. Before his brain could react, he had already left the car at a lightning speed and immediately held her in his arms before her body touched the ground. Her
Chapter 25 After running a high fever in the middle of the night, Amelia woke at around five o’clock in the morning. She looked at the unfamiliar ceiling after waking up, thinking about everything that had transpired, and she laughed out in self-mockery. She really was pitiful, wasn’t she? Although she had parents, she was no different from an orphan. she could only depend on herself from now onwards. Amelia closed her eyes again, feeling sorry for herself. Why did God allow her to be in this world? Just so she could suffer at the hands of the so-called family. She was tired of pitying herself but she did not dare to stand up again. Every time she thought she had a hold of something, it would be mercilessly taken away from her. She was not even given the chance to fight back. Axel woke up with a start. He was only taking a nap and was not in deep sleep. He walked over to the hospital bed to check on Amelia. He was startled when he saw that she was already awake. Amelia was stari
Chapter 26 It was only later in the day that Jackson’s assistant found where Amelia was admitted. But when they rushed over, they were told that she had already been transferred to a private facility. “What happened? How could she be transferred? It is not like she has the money to pay for the private hospital.” Jackson spoke. He felt that something was wrong but he could not put his finger on what it was. “Sir, could it be that her mother transferred her? We have been protecting Amelia all these years and we haven’t seen her come into contact with anyone powerful.” The frown on Jackson’s face deepened. It has been a while since he contacted Joylin. He had tried to reach out to her after the divorce but the woman loathed him and had refused to talk to him. After trying for a few years, he stopped bothering her and poured his heart into his work. If it was Joylin who had taken Amelia, then he did not know how he was going to explain her injuries. He took out his phone and rubbed
Chapter 27 Amelia has not slept this well for a long time. Her sleep most of the time would always be raddled with nightmares and things chasing after her. It was the first time in a long while that she has slept without dreaming. She could feel the peace even in her dreams. Her heart felt as light as a feather as if she has finally gotten rid of all her worries. Amelia opened her eyes slowly. Although she did not feel like waking up in her deep and peaceful sleep, she felt that she had slept for a long time and she needed to open her eyes. A room as big as her small house greeted her eyes. She was startled when she saw all the tubes and machines connected to her body. Her body stiffened as she broke out in a cold sweat. ‘Where am I and what happened to me?’ Amelia mumbled. Her brain was groggy and she did not process anything even after staring at the ceiling for a long time. It was only a moment later when someone who seemed to be a nurse entered. Amelia's memories flooded her
Chapter 28 Amelia could not help but subconsciously cover her exposed thighs with her hands. The man’s stare was just too intense that she was getting goosebumps. “You look beautiful.” Axel commended her as he walked over to her. Amelia blushed and the heat that had cooled off after she went to the bathroom was raising again. She lowered her head shyly and clutched the shirt tightly. “Has the dressing been changed?” “Yes.” she nodded. “Okay. You need to rest. The doctor said that it cannot come into contact with water for the time being so you will have to bear with it.” “Sure,” Amelia replied. Her head was still lowered as if she was afraid to look at the man. Looking at her petite yet shy demure, Axel felt like laughing. She was so obedient, just like a child who has a done a mistake and was waiting for her parent to reprimand her. Axel coughed a little to dissipate the heat that was rising in his throat. It was so dry he felt like he could drink a glass of warm water in sec
Chapter 29 Winter had no choice but to follow Axel to his study room. Although this grandson of his was sometimes obedient, he knew that he did not like being forced. But no matter what, he had to make him sign the marriage certificate with Vivian. “What is it that you want to talk about? If it is not important, hurry up and prepare to marry Vivian. We can prepare for the wedding later after you have gotten your certificate.” “We did not finish the phone call earlier.” Axel waited for his grandfather to finish his words before he spoke slowly. He had been on the phone with his grandfather before the alarm in Amelia’s room rang. He did not have time to say what he wanted to as he immediately rushed over. He had not had the time to call his grandfather after that and he did not expect that he will personally come to find him. It seemed like his grandfather was very eager to see him get married. “I have already registered my marriage yesterday but something came up so I did not have
Chapter 30 One week later… Amelia was almost fully recovered. Axel had found the best medicine for her and the wound was likely not to leave any scars. The wound was almost healed and she could now do some chores on her own. She had called her mom and after hearing what her daughter had gone through, she was so mad that she directly went to confront Jackson. Knowing that he was also in the wrong and he had not protected his daughter well, Jackson did not say anything and let Joylin scold him. He was actually very happy that she had taken the initiative to see him even if they parted on bad terms. To him, it was a win as long as he could see her even for one second. Amelia was having dinner with Axel. The house was very huge but there were only two of them. Axel did not like people hovering around him so he did not have a lot of servants. He only had a regular cook and a cleaner but they did not stay in the house with him. They would only come over if he needed their services. “I
