Chapter 807

Author: Goldfish
Silence ensued in the room once more, with the sole exception of the clock that ticked away, as though counting down to something.

Sunlight moved in the air, the line between darkness and light slowly climbing up Christopher’s knees, but it never made it to his eyes and the darkness in them.

Jessica knew nothing she said would persuade him.

This man was bent on paving the way for Amelia and Evelyn at the expense of his own life. There was no concept of self in his world, only them.

    Amelia stood at the main entrance of Nova Nine’s office building, staring at it in silence for a long time.Eventually, she turned to leave with a sigh.Amelia headed to the supermarket to buy Claire’s favourite fruits and some health supplements that Felix needed after his operation before driving over to Claire’s house.When she opened the door, the smell of delicious food greeted her.Claire was busy in the kitchen with her apron on. When she heard the door open, she poked her head out and said with a smile, “Back home? Quick, wash your hands. Dinner will be ready very soon.”Amelia put her things down and headed to the kitchen to help Claire out. “Mom, how is Uncle today? Does his wound still hurt?”“He’s much better. The doctor came by and said that he was recovering very well. He can be discharged in a few days’ time.”Claire’s hands were kept busy over the stove as she said with a smile, “Don’t be too worried. He was in good health previously and he’ll recover in a jiffy.

    At Nova Nine’s office, the air-conditioner hummed quietly in the background.Amelia looked down as her fingers brushed across the papers lying on her desk. She had tidied up her last handover task list, a thick pile resting on a portfolio case.There was a red circle on her desk calendar. It was the day she and Evelyn were scheduled to leave Northon and it was drawing closer.“Still busy?” Winona walked over with an iced coffee in hand which she gently placed next to Amelia’s hand. Her gaze swept across the documents piling up on Amelia’s desk. “After the summit that day, Christopher seemed to have vanished from the face of earth. Did he not come looking for you?”Amelia took a sip of the iced coffee, the cold liquid sliding down her throat and masking that strange feeling in the depths of her heart.She nodded. “He never contacted me and never appeared before me after that.”Winona sat down in the chair opposite her and looked at her calm side profile. She couldn’t help but

    “From now on, you can do your scientific research with peace of mind. You don’t need to worry about any risk or dangers. Christopher wouldn’t have any reason to find trouble with you.”Amelia leaned against the balcony railing. Tears started falling down her cheeks out of nowhere.She had suffered so much and felt so indignant over this scientific research project. She had gone all out just to become the strongest pillar of support for her daughter.Now that she was officially recognized, she no longer needed to be afraid or worried. Her heart that had been on tenterhooks this whole time could finally rest assured.“Thank you, Jasper,” Amelia tightened her grip over her phone. “Help me convey my gratitude to Mr. Hale, too.”“Don’t mention it,” Jasper said with a chuckle. “Oh yes, when are you planning to leave? Tell me if you need help packing up.”“I haven’t decided on a specific time. After I sign the contract with Navitech, I’ll leave Northon with Evelyn.” Amelia took a deep b

    Christopher remained silent.Jessica paused for a moment, looking at how unmoved Christopher was. She couldn’t help but press further. “And Evelyn. She’s your daughter. Doesn’t your heart break for her? She has never called you Dad over the years. Are you really fine with that? Back then, you deliberately stopped her from calling you dad. What exactly were you thinking?”“How could my heart not break?” Christopher finally said, his voice hoarse like sandpaper. “But her calling me “Dad” is nothing compared to her safety.”He turned to look out of the window, his gaze sweeping past Amelia’s balcony. The lights there were still switched on, but he knew that home no longer had a place for him. “It’s been proven that without me, they're capable of leading a perfectly fine life… Amelia bought a house by her own effort and is taking great care of Evelyn. She even managed all those accomplishments in the scientific research field.”His voice became low with self-derision. “Back then,

    “We’d live our own separate lives and no longer affect each other.”Jessica stood stunned for a moment before chuckling bitterly. “I used to think that Christopher was the most heartless person I’ve ever met. Ruthless in the business world, distant from everyone, rejecting coldly even the elders in the family. But now, it seems like you’re even more heartless than he is.”Amelia didn’t say anything to refute Jessica’s claim and simply smirked in response.She knew how cold and heartless she seemed, but it was a form of self-protection that arose from all those sleepless nights.Jessica looked at Amelia, who was about to turn to leave and sighed, saying, “But heartless people are often the ones who have the deepest affection.”She spoke very softly, but Amelia still could hear her loud and clear. “They are just too afraid of being hurt, which is why they wrapped their hearts up tight, not allowing even the slightest tenderness to show. It’s not that you don’t love him. You just

    The night breeze rustled through the trees in the district, scattering a few leaves that landed on Amelia’s shoulder.She stood under the street lights at the entrance of her block, her fingers subconsciously gripping onto the hem of her jacket as she heard Jessica out.She had thought that Jessica was here to speak up for Christopher, perhaps bringing up past sentiments and persuading her to give each other a chance. Jessica’s offer came as a surprise to her.“If you can do it, I’d like for you to try,” Amelia said softly. “I just hope that he remains the same Christopher Zephyr and that he’ll return to the man he once was. We'd have nothing more to do with each other, and he wouldn’t need to worry about me or Evelyn.”Jessica looked at Amelia’s calm side profile and suddenly thought that this must be the coldest woman she had ever met.“Do you know why…” Amelia’s sentence was cut off by Jessica’s laughter.Jessica leaned against the railing, her fingertips rubbing against it.

    "Wait!"Nicole suddenly appeared, opening the door.She had a contract in hand as she strode toward Mr. Lewis."Mr. Lewis, I have a better option for you right here. I can give you 5% more earnings on top of what they're offering you."Nicole pushed the contract toward Mr. Lewis. "We're also p

    "You don't live with Chris anymore, and you really shouldn't trouble him since he's drunk. Let him go back home early and get some rest," Nicole said. Amelia didn't want to kick up a fuss over this. It was impossible to get a cab here, anyway."I'd appreciate you arranging a driver to send me hom

    "At the start, it wasn't stated clearly that the bet-on agreement would be signed with Megatech. If Megatech lost the bet, Nova Nine would take 50% of Megatech's shares. Conversely, for the sake of fairness, if Nova Nine lost, aside from transferring 50% of its shares to Infotech, it'd also transfer
