Chapter 6

Author: Sunny Embrace
The moment he read the name "Amelia Dreyner" written on the document, he felt as if he had been electrocuted.

His first thought was that this was part of some sick joke Amelia had left behind.

Then, he rushed to the hospital and handed the medical records to the doctor.

After the doctor briefed him on the diagnosis, he finally realized just how terribly wrong he had been.

The doctor stated regrettably, "The patient's condition is deteriorating at a rate far beyond our initial forecast.

    Liam's lips were quivering. His shoulders began to droop as well.He gasped tragically, then turned to me to plead again, "You've only been with him for less than five months, but we have been together for five whole years…"I answered coolly, "And what about it? It didn't take you less than half a year to sleep with Nora too, did it?""No, that's not it!" Liam grew agitated and tried to take my hand. "I was never in a relationship with her. There's a reason I let her get closer to me…"I investigated everything she's done to you and cut her off for good. I swear I won't have anything to do with her again…"I shrank away from his touch and dismissed him icily, "Mr. Castle, I am not interested in hearing any more details of your infidelity."What happens to you or Nora from now on is none of my business."We're through. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. So please stop involving yourself in my life with my lover."The color drained completely from his face."No

    The picture attached to the article was of a stranger at the center of the frame.He was smiling faintly, with his eyes creased into a crescent shape.Then, there was a person standing next to him with her hands locked around his.It was none other than Amelia herself.The Meville family had moved abroad years ago. It was a foreign news outlet that broke the news of his engagement.The tabloids had embellished my relationship with Noah by sprinkling in all sorts of exaggerated details.In reality, my relationship with Noah had been rather simple and straightforward.We were practically childhood friends since our families were closely linked through business.After we graduated from the same university, we gradually fell out of touch.If it weren't for the system telling me there was someone else in the world who was already infatuated with me without me needing to court them, I never would have realized he even had feelings for me at all.When I was told of it, I was still d

I don't think I have ever seen you before."She doesn't have much time left. I give her a month at most. If you have any conscience at all, I'd advise you to spend more time with her."Liam felt as if all the noise in the world were muted.The enormous stack of medical reports sliced at his skin like tiny daggers.How had he failed to notice?When he started to recal

    Liam stared at his phone screen in disbelief.There was no mistaking it. It was Amelia's number.But the man on the phone…"Who are you? Why are you using Amelia's phone?" He struggled to control the tone of his voice, "I want to speak to her!"The man answered candidly, "She's busy. She's in the shower right now."If you're calling to talk to her about the system, I believe I have been very clear with you. She doesn't need you anymore.""You're lying!"Liam's chest heaved violently. His breathing had become erratic.The mysterious man was living with Amelia and even knew about the system.Who on earth was he?"Who... Who exactly are you? You kidnapped her, didn't you?"Suddenly, the man fell silent.After some faint, rustling sound, it was my glacial voice that broke the silence."Kidnapping?"You're the only one who would do something like that. You, Liam Castle."Liam let out a breath of relief, then hurriedly started to explain, "Amelia, I admit it was wrong of me to

    "I'd be careful if I were you, Amelia. Don't test me."Liam towered over me with his eyes bloodshot."If Nora loses so much as a single strand of hair, I swear I will never get married to you."He had always known just how much that marriage license meant to me, yet here he was, leveraging it against me to threaten me!"I'm not scared of you. Also, I told you I don't know where she is."I had had enough of him and slapped him across the face!"Liam, I had stopped loving you a long time ago. For the record, I don't even want that marriage license anymore!"Liam's face turned to the side from the slap. He grew incensed and seized my chin as a rabid look gleamed in his eyes."Is that so? Sure, you're not afraid of me…"Let's see how your mother feels!"With that, a dozen men filed into the room, pinned me to the ground, and started to tear at my clothes.I cried out, "What are you doing?!"Meanwhile, he turned on a nearby camera and hissed icily, "I'm going to livestream this

    The IV needle was yanked out of my hand and left behind a streak of blood.I could feel my lower back slamming against the metal bed rail. The sudden pain made me break out in a cold sweat.Despite all that, Liam, the man who once prioritized me over everything else, was now guarding Nora nervously."I'd had too much to drink that night and gave in to temptation."It was all my fault. You can hit me or curse me, do whatever you want, but you can't lay a finger on her! She's pregnant!"He looked at me warily, as if I were some kind of criminal.All I did was produce a faint chuckle before stating wryly, "Well, congratulations to both of you."Since she's pregnant, make sure you take care of her so she can give birth without problems."Liam's expression stiffened."Amelia, you…"Nora began to cry, "Amelia, please... It sounds like you're saying that to humiliate me..."Then, she suddenly rushed up to take my hand and vowed, "Once the baby is born, I'll leave! I won't get in be
