Chapter 571

Author: Goldfish
Christopher hadn't made his stand on this. Why should Luke step forward to help Nicole?

Luke had always been practical. He knew what he should and shouldn't do. No one would be willing to be seen as an accomplice.

Anyone who rendered Nicole help right now would be dragged down by her.

With that, Luke hung up.

Nicole stood rooted to the ground, staring at the phone in her hand. She looked at her phone screen in disbelief.

She could understand if anyone else had refused to help her.

But Luke

    Jessica said, "But it's fine. Shane came in the nick of time and pulled me aside.""Shane is a good bodyguard," Christopher said coolly. "He won't let you get in harm's way."Jessica saw the tension in his jaw line and suddenly burst out in laughter. She said teasingly, "So you want me to be your girlfriend in name as a smokescreen for Amelia?"Christopher fell silent.Jessica knew what his silence meant."What about now?" she asked."No need for that anymore," Christopher said flatly. He looked up toward the second floor. "I want Amelia by my side. That's where it's safest for her."Jessica stood stunned for a moment before shaking her head. She said helplessly, "Does she know that? You're probably her most hated person right now."Christopher rubbed in between his brows. Yes, he deserved it."She has every right to hate me," he said hoarsely. He paused for a moment to recover himself before saying flatly, "She will never love me again. Why not let her hate me more?""Christ

    Christopher held Amelia in a viselike grip, so tight she couldn't move a muscle.The warmth of his embrace seeped through his thin clothing, scalding her skin. Yet, it didn't stop a chill from piercing through her bones.Amelia took a deep breath to calm herself down and ask as flatly as she could, "What do you want me to trust you for?" Under the dim lights, Christopher's eyes darkened. "Trust that I can ensure the safety of you and our daughter."Amelia thought it was the greatest joke she ever heard. She turned sideways and sneered, "Our daughter? Haven't you always told her to call you Uncle? That's what you've always been to her, right? Now you're finally realizing that she's your daughter?"Christopher's heart fell as he swallowed past his constricted throat. A look of pain flashed past his eyes. "I thought…you wanted it this way.""I wanted it this way?" Amelia looked at him in disbelief. "Since when did I express such a desire? Christopher Zephyr, can you please stop l

    Amelia’s heart skipped a beat as tears filled her eyes once more. All the indignation, fear and sorrow suppressed within her were fighting for release.“My shoulder,” Christopher said, looking at her with mixed emotions in his eyes. There was guilt, heartache and a tinge of careful probing. “You can lean on it.”Amelia looked at him, slightly surprised. She saw the serious look on his face and the stubble on his chin he didn’t have the time to shave and the fatigue etched in his eyes.He was the man of her dreams and the cause of all her pain during those tormenting nights.Aside from Nicole’s schemes and the three years of strained relationship stretching between them, they now had the suspicious cause of Dorothy’s death hovering over them.It was a matter of life and death.Right now, the warmth coming from his palms and his low, comforting voice felt soothing to her tense nerves.She wanted to push him away and scold him for being fake, even question him why he was still arou

    Amelia sat by the bedside and gently caressed Evelyn’s forehead. She sat silent for a long time before saying, “Great-grandma has gone somewhere far away, like the stars in the sky. She’ll always be watching you from up above.”“Will she come back to read me stories?” Evelyn’s eyes started turning red.Amelia shook her head as she choked back on her tears. “No, you won’t see her again now that she’s gone. We can’t eat a meal with her or talk to her again. However, her love for you will always remain.”Evelyn didn’t seem to quite get it, but tears fell down her cheeks. “I don’t want Great-grandma to become stars in the sky. I want her to come back.”She leaned into Amelia’s embrace and cried loudly, her small body racked with tears of sorrow.Amelia hugged her tight, tears falling uncontrollable. She wanted Dorothy back too. She wanted to hear her reminders to be strong and eat the meatballs she always made for her.After coaxing Evelyn to sleep, Amelia shut the door and walked

    “Stephanie,” Amelia said, her brows furrowing. “It’s Grandma’s funeral today. I don’t want to argue with you.”“You don’t want to argue?” Stephanie burst out laughing as she approached Amelia, her voice going up a notch so that everyone around her could hear her. “Do tell me, what are you doing here when you’ve already divorced Christopher? Still thinking of yourself as the glorious Mrs. Zephyr?”She surveyed Amelia from head to toe and said unkindly, “You’re a big scientist and a key pillar of the national scientific research team now, aren’t you? You’re so outstanding, why would you need to cling to our family? Is this what members of the scientific team are like? Running to your mom’s family right after leaving ours. How shameless can you get?”People around them started murmuring under their breaths, casting questioning and disdainful glances at Amelia.Amelia’s face grew cold. She had a temper, but she didn’t want to cause trouble at Dorothy’s funeral.“I’m just here to see G

    Amelia brought Evelyn home to pack some essentials.Christopher stood waiting patiently at the door.When she came out with a bag of belongings, Christopher took the initiative to relieve her load.Amelia looked at him with furrowed brows.Christopher said with a chuckle, “You need to get used to this.”Amelia frowned. Get used to what?She subsequently realized that he meant getting used to having him around.She followed him into the car, deciding not to pursue the matter.All she could think of right now was Dorothy, anyway.The car drove along the familiar road, but the sense of familiarity did nothing to straighten out the chaos in her mind.She thought about many things and recalled many things that happened in the past.She sat at the back passenger seat, looking at Christopher at the wheel, focusing on the road ahead.He remained silent, looking calm and unperturbed.She, on the other hand, felt something stuck in her throat, suffocating her. She wanted to open her
