Chapter 279

Author: Goldfish
"Do you intend to just keep Evelyn at home all the time?" Christopher asked.

Amelia scoffed as she looked at him.

"This shouldn't be something you, an outsider, should care about. Goodbye. I won't see you out."

Amelia gestured him out of the door.

"Hmm," Christopher hummed at the aloof expression on Amelia's face. "Your temper's getting from bad to worse. No wonder Nicole keeps suffering the brunt of your flare-ups."

His deep, dark eyes seemed to be implying something.

    "But…" Evelyn scrunched up the tablecloth. "I saw bloodstains on your bandages in the morning."Amelia was quietly cleaning up as well, but paused when she heard Evelyn's words.Christopher put the napkins down and stretched out his uninjured left hand. He hesitated for a moment before gently touching Evelyn's head.Her hair was very soft like silk. "It's not bleeding anymore. Don't worry, Evie."His fingers were coarse and calloused. When his fingers touched her head, Evelyn shrunk back a little but didn't avoid his touch.This was the first in a long, long time since her dad touched her.She looked up shyly at him and realized that his lips weren't as tense as before. The look in his eyes was a lot kinder as well.She gathered up the courage to offer him a piece of pumpkin from her bowl. "This is very sweet. Try it."Christopher looked at the pumpkin and then at Evelyn's bright eyes, his heart clenching and aching amidst the warmth filling his heart.He nodded and took the p

    Amelia looked at Christopher and took a deep breath.She put the files down and said, "You really should listen to the doctor."He should be resting.Christopher turned around, his eyes as dark as ink. He stared at her for a few seconds and said, "Are you concerned for me?"Amelia's brows furrowed. "Right now, I just hope that you won't die too early."There were still many unknowns that she needed him to explain.Christopher's eyes were dark as he said calmly, "My condition isn't terminal. I'm just doing some work. I won't die from it."Amelia's gaze landed on his right arm that kept getting injured."But your wound can't keep opening," she said matter-of-factly. "You need to be hospitalized if it gets infected, and it'll only get worse if you drag things out."Christopher didn't refute her words but simply looked quietly at her.Just then, footsteps sounded from the staircase. It was Evelyn, standing outside the door. "Mom, I'm hungry."Her voice was soft and tender, sou

    Amelia suddenly felt drawn toward the room next to the living room that was always locked.She hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open and walking in.The room wasn't huge, but it was very neatly kept.There was a bookshelf leaning against the wall. Instead of books, many little trinkets were on display: a chipped ceramic bunny that she won from an arcade in her university days. She accidentally dropped it and she forgot where she threw it.A yellowed notebook filled with her doodles. There was a doodle of two little people, labelled Mr. Zephyr and Mrs. Zephyr.She saw an old photo frame with a photo of herself. Her hair was up in a ponytail and she was wearing a white shirt, smiling and revealing her teeth. That photo was taken when they first got to know each other…Amelia's breath caught in her lungs.She took a few steps forward and realized that the room was filled with traces of her.The top layer of the bookshelf was filled with the gifts she received every y

    The funeral was supposed to be this weekend, but the fire had clearly ruined their plans."We'll hold it as planned," Christopher said, his voice low and tinged with fatigue. "Grandma cared very much about these things while she was around. We can't let her go like this."Amelia fell silent for a few seconds and said, "I want to be there."Christopher stared at her for a long time.The warm sunlight landed on her face and he could see the mixed emotions in her eyes. There was hesitation, emotional struggle, and a tenderness that he couldn't quite understand.He suddenly felt that perhaps Jessica wasn't entirely wrong. He nodded and said gently, "Okay. I'll make arrangements."He would have his assistant ensure that everything was in place so that all those ridiculous people and things wouldn't bother Amelia.Amelia nodded before turning around to prepare something for Christopher to eat.Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist. His hand felt cold and his fingers felt calloused. He didn'

    Amelia sat on the chair by the window, her side profile obscured by the dark, unlit room.There was an open book in her hands, but she wasn't reading it. Her fingertip rested on a page. She was looking at Christopher, quiet like a portrait.Christopher's breath caught in his throat.He moved his fingers, recalling how he had collapsed. He thought he wouldn't see her when he woke up.The last time, she accused him of pretending.But…What was she doing here now?His Adam's apple bobbed; he was about to speak when Amelia beat him to it. She shut her book and stood up very quietly, as though afraid of interrupting something.She walked to his bedside and looked down at his pale face, saying rather flatly, "Are you hungry? Want something to eat?"Christopher arched a brow.He was indeed hungry.His stomach was empty and he was still dealing with some pain. Compared to his physical needs, however, he cared more about what Amelia was thinking right now.She didn't question him or

    Amelia was thunderstruck by Jessica's words, her blood freezing in her veins.She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes widening as she stared hard at Jessica. Her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word.The questioning look in her eyes gave way to disbelief and fear. She felt someone grip her heart, making even breathing painful.All those details she had neglected…The silence he fell into when they were alone, the sighs she heard in the deep of the night, the cold indifference and lack of emotions he displayed… She had overlooked them all.All those memories turned into shards of ice, piercing through her mind.He wasn't an emotionless robot."No… Impossible…" she finally managed to squeeze out. Her voice trembled and her fingertips turned icy. "He… He looks so…"She couldn't bring herself to complete the sentence; she felt something stuck in her throat.All those recklessness and narrow escapes from death had not been by chance.He wasn't risking his life. He was struggli

    Jayden noticed the dazed expression on Amelia's face and chuckled. He waved a hand in front of her and said dotingly, "What, don't recognize me anymore? You're practically staring."Amelia snapped back to attention at once."You've changed," Jayden said as he surveyed Amelia from head to toe. "You

    Christopher looked quietly at her.He then turned his attention to Evelyn, who was on the bed.He retracted his gaze and said, "Come with me."Amelia couldn't quite figure out his mood right now. Her brows furrowed, and she followed him. His words seemed to be an agreement to talk with her.Chri

    It was a hot summer day, and Evelyn's forehead was covered with sweat.Amelia wiped her sweat away. "Feeling warm?"Evelyn shook her head. "Not at all. After my studies today, Mr. Hale said he'd bring me here to see you. I did very well today! Mr. Hale praised me for my work."Evelyn's smile was

    Nicole looked at Amelia."I finally know why Chris doesn't like you, even after so many years. You're always so naive to the point of foolishness. Nothing in this world is black and white. All fighting is pointless unless you're the ultimate victor who takes it all."In the upper circles of societ
