Chapter 382

Author: Goldfish
Tania took a deep breath.

"Mr. Chilton, it was a genuine lapse of judgment on my end. I was obsessed with ensuring that justice was served. I wanted to stand up for a child whose answers were stolen by another. Many people in this world try to succeed by underhanded means. I hate people like that, and I went to extremes in a moment of haste."

Tania looked at Heath with a slight frown.

"What's more, you can't take a child's words wholesale. They sometimes exaggerate things."

    "Your body hasn't even recovered, and we don't know if Gerald is still nearby. What if something happens to you out there?" Amelia said, worried.Christopher tried to shake her hand off, but he didn't have the strength.He could feel the warmth of her palm through the thin fabric of his sleeve. It seeped in, slow and steady, and the faint warmth it stirred only made the guilt hit harder."You don't need to worry about that." His voice was tired. "I can handle my own problems.""Christopher, can you stop being so stubborn?" Amelia's brows pulled tight. "You're not alone anymore. You have me, and you have Evie. We're both worried about you. Can you think about us for once?"At the mention of Evelyn, Christopher froze.He thought about last night, about her small voice asking if he was sick, and the way she looked at him, like she wanted him to stay.Something inside him gave way.He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, all that was left was exhaustion and a quiet surrender

    Amelia looked at Christopher and paused.The room fell quiet for a few seconds.Then she spoke, her voice calm. "Okay."As soon as the word left her lips, her eyes locked onto him. "But you need to tell me why you're trying to keep your distance from me. What's really going on in your head? Before this, Jessica told you to stay away from me, told you not to see me again. Is that why your mood's been off? Is it because of me?"Each question landed like a fine needle, pressing into Christopher's chest.His hand at his side tightened slightly as he took a slow breath. "I haven't sorted out my emotions yet. I'm not in a place to answer you right now."He had always been the type to plan everything. Every answer, every decision was thought through, measured out so nothing could go wrong.But now, with the weight of depression dragging him down and everything with the Zephyr family throwing him off balance, he couldn't give her a clear or steady answer.He was used to doing thing

    Amelia came out of the kitchen with a bowl of heated chicken soup. The moment she stepped into the living room, she saw Christopher fast asleep on the couch.She slowed to a stop, gently set the bowl down, and walked over. As she looked at his pale, worn face, something tugged at her chest. A quiet ache spread through her.She reached out, wanting to smooth the crease between his brows. Her fingers hovered just above his forehead, then slowly pulled back, afraid of disturbing the rare peace in his sleep.Amelia turned and went into the bedroom, came back with a light blanket, and carefully draped it over Christopher.She crouched beside the couch, watching him in silence for a while before getting up to clean the dishes scattered around.Just then, the bedroom door creaked open, and a small figure peeked out.Evelyn stepped out in pink bear pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes, her hair messy. She was clearly woken by the noise from the living room.The moment she saw Christopher ly

    Northon.Christopher was in the hospital, hooked up to an IV.Nigel walked over. He took a deep breath before saying, "Mr. Zephyr, your father went to see Amelia."Christopher's gaze went cold.He didn't say a word. He yanked out the IV and got to his feet.Nigel knew Christopher's condition. He had been running nonstop like this for too long. His body couldn't take it.But there was no talking him out of it. Nigel could only follow.By the time he got outside, Christopher had already driven off without him.Nigel clenched his jaw, jumped into another car, and took off after him.Christopher sat behind the wheel, his face pale. A dark bruise was spreading across his arm where the needle had gone in, but he didn't pay it any attention.He knew Gerald too well. If it meant finding Janice, the man would stop at nothing. Amelia was stubborn and blunt. If it came down to a confrontation, she wouldn't come out on top.Christopher ignored the doctor's warnings and the fact that his

    The car pulled up to the terminal entrance. Christopher stepped out, took her suitcase from the trunk, then reached back into the car and handed her an insulated bag."I got you your favorite bagels. Eat them if you get hungry on the way."Amelia took the bag. The warmth seeped into her fingertips, and something in her chest tightened. Her eyes stung a little.She looked up at him, wanting to say something, but the words just wouldn't come."You should go. Don't miss your flight."His voice was quiet.Amelia nodded, then turned and wheeled her suitcase into the terminal.-Once she was on the plane, her mind stayed a mess.Even after takeoff, she couldn't settle down.Her fingers tightened unconsciously. She couldn't tell if the Christopher she saw today was real, or just something he was holding together on purpose.He had always been good at hiding things.Growing up in the suffocating environment of the Zephyr family, he had learned early how to keep his emotions locked

    Early the next morning.Amelia stood outside the hotel, trying to get a ride to the airport. She hadn't slept at all the night before, tossing and turning, her mind refusing to quiet down.It was rush hour, and getting a car wasn't easy.Just then, a black sedan pulled up slowly in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Christopher's profile.Amelia looked up sharply, her heartbeat skipping for a second.He was dressed in a perfectly tailored dark gray suit, his shirt crisp, collar neat, a sleek watch visible at his wrist. His hair was styled without a strand out of place.Leaning slightly by the window, he looked composed and distant, carrying that familiar cool, restrained presence.He seemed nothing like the pale, fragile man from the hospital the night before. It was the same face, the same eyes, but it felt like two completely different people.She froze for a moment before finding her voice, a hint of unease slipping into her tone."What are you doing here? I th

    If these projects dragged on, other companies were bound to surpass Megatech. There was no lack of talent in the industry right now.Nicole was sure that if Megatech got one step behind, it'd be behind at every step. That was the reason for her anxiety.Not just that, but she also had Nova Nine as

    Since there was a shortcut in life, just take it.It was just that the way they worked was different.However, it didn't change the fact that he looked down on Amelia.Many women were like her, rising in the ranks because of men. Such women were most shameless and contemptible, looked down upon i

    Amelia looked up and saw Christopher and Nicole walking side by side, looking very intimate with each other.She retracted her gaze and pretended she saw nothing.Christopher had rejected Nicole's proposal to plan the Zephyrs' centennial celebration. Given her character, she would surely be upset.
