Chapter 3

Two weeks later,

Amelia was lying in bed in the hospital dialing Nick's number again and again.

The next day, after being released from prison, when she entered the dining room for lunch, Jennifer strongly objected to sitting with her, thinking that since Amelia had been in prison for a long time, she might be suffering from some serious disease.

Jennifer kept forcing her Dad to get her a full-body checkup. Amelia at first thought that they were doing all this to get rid of her like in the past.

But her father sent her to the hospital the same day. She has been admitted there for the last two weeks. The doctors have been conducting all tests on her for the last two weeks.

Although she was against it at first, she is now feeling relieved because the doctors have taken very good care of her since she came to the hospital. The marks on her body have almost disappeared. She no longer feels weak but something makes her uneasy sometimes.

She told the doctor about her uneasy feeling, but the doctor said it was not a problem, she was perfectly fine.

Amelia called again, when Nick did not answer her call. She had been trying to contact him for the past month, but she had not been able to contact him in any way.

She had sent him countless messages on F******k, I*******m, and W******p, but Nick had not replied to any of her messages, let alone seen any of her messages.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes when Nick didn’t pick up the phone. She sent him a voice message again and waited for his reply.

At that moment, a nurse entered the cabin. Amelia put the phone on the table.

The old nurse looked at her and smiled softly.

She walked towards her. "How are you feeling today, dear?" The nurse asked her in a soft voice.

Amelia looked at her and replied politely, "I am feeling much better than before. Can you tell me when the doctor will release me?"

The nurse then said, "Your family came to see the doctor yesterday but the doctor said that there is another test to be done. If the test result comes back positive, you can go home then"

Hearing this, Amelia looked at the nurse and asked with a frown, "But I am completely healthy. What test are you talking about, sister? I don't have any problems,"

The nurse said, "I don't know anything about this. The doctor just told me to take a blood sample from you for a test."

Thinking the doctor knows better Amelia nodded her head and held out her hand. The nurse then took the blood sample and left the room.

One thing started to bother Amelia. Her family came to see the doctor yesterday, so why didn't they meet her? She knew that her family had no love for her, but since they had come to talk to the doctor about her, shouldn't they have told her what the doctor said about her physical condition?

Maybe they came to find out if I actually had a serious illness so that they could get rid of me." After muttering this, Amelia picked up her phone again and started calling Nick.

Several days later, Amelia was looking outside through the car window.

Finally, the doctor released her.

No one from her family came to pick her up, although she expected that they wouldn't come to pick her up. The whole way, she was looking out the window.

Still looking out the car window, she was thinking about Nick and wondering what she would tell him when he asked her where she was all those three years?

What would she answer when Nick asked her why she hadn't contacted him in those years? Thinking about these things, Amelia closed her eyes when the driver stopped the car.

Amelia opened her eyes and paid the money. When she got out of the car and looked at the house, she was surprised because the entire house was beautifully decorated as if some event was being organized.

When she entered the house, she saw her stepmother and Jennifer sitting in the living room talking about something. When Emilia entered, they looked at her while talking.

Looking at Amelia, Jennifer smiled in a distorted manner and then she said, "Welcome home big sister. I have good news for you, we have organized your engagement party tomorrow to surprise you. Tomorrow is your engagement with your beloved boyfriend Nick.

Everything is arranged, your dress is selected, and Nick himself has selected your dress. I hope you enjoy tomorrow because I have another surprise waiting for you. And I will give you in front of everyone tomorrow,” Jennifer said with a smirk smile and left.

Hearing Jennifer’s words, Amelia's heart started to overflow with happiness and her eyes sparkled with joy. Her stepmother looked at her smiling face and smiled sarcastically and said, “Your dress and jewelry are all in your room.”

Amelia then looked at her stepmother and asked, “I want to talk to Nick. I have been trying to contact him for the past month but I am not able to contact him in any way.”

Hearing this, her stepmother got annoyed and said, “Nick said he will talk to you tomorrow directly. Now don’t worry too much, go away from here. I have a lot of work to do.” Saying this, her stepmother left and Amelia then ran into her room.

She saw that there were some boxes placed on her bed. She quickly started opening the boxes. When she saw a blue gown inside the box, a soft smile appeared on her face.

Seeing that Nick had given priority to her choice and bought a blue gown, Amelia really felt very lucky. Then she started opening the rest of the boxes one by one.

All this seemed like a dream to her. She was looking at herself in the mirror.
