"Tyrone and I grew up together. We were always in a good relationship. However, when I was a child, I was hurt by someone. My families thought I was dead, but I was saved. When I met Tyrone again, I didn't know him. At that time, Tyrone was still a young boy, but he recognized me at a glance. Everyone said that I was dead, only Tyrone knew that I was still alive."
"The first time he saw me, he called me Abigail. I said that I didn't know him, but he said that it didn't matter, as long as he knew me. Even if I didn't remember him, he helped me."
"Amelia, do you love Bradley?" Cornell looked at Amelia sadly and said in a soft voice.
Cornell knew how Bradley loved Amelia.
He knew that Amelia loved Tyrone very much. She couldn't forget Tyrone even though he had died for a long time. She even... went to Imperial City alone in order to find Tyrone's heart. Cornell could clearly feel how stubborn Amelia was.
"He loves you very much." Cornell said in a deep voice when he saw that Amelia did not speak.
"Whether you believe me or not, I have to tell you that Bradley loves you very much. He is willing to do anything for you."
"Cornell, have you ever experienced the feeling of loving someone even if you will die?" Amelia looked out of the window with doleful and sorrowful eyes. Cornell's pupils contracted when he heard Amelia's words.
"When I knew Tyrone was dead, I didn't want to believe it. I thought that there must be something wrong. In the past, when Cedric and Nacho had an accident, people all said that they had died, Mignon was also very mournful at that time, but she insisted on waiting for Nacho. She said that Nacho would not bear to leave her. I also believed that Tyrone did not die, but when his body was taken back home, I knew that he was really dead."
"I once committed suicide and wanted to accompany Tyrone." Amelia looked at Cornell, saying slowly and glumly.
Hearing Amelia's words, Cornell's breathing trembled.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Amelia, his eyes darkened slightly.
He didn't except that Amelia... had committed suicide for Tyrone.
"Tell me, how can I... give up my love for Tyrone? How can I do that?"
"Enough, Amelia, it's really... enough."
Cornell didn't want to listen to her anymore. Amelia was so obsessed with Tyrone that he felt jealous.
"Please send me back, will you?"
Amelia smiled lightly. Her weak facial features looked tender but melancholy at the moment.
Looking at her gentle eyes, Cornell was overwhelmed by indescribable sorrow. "Bradley, can you really make Amelia... fall in love with you?"
"Will Amelia... be willing to fall in love with you?"
Amelia had closed her heart... She wouldn't fall in love with anyone, and no one could enter her heart.
When Amelia returned to the villa from the hospital, she locked herself in the room.
After getting off work and listening to the housekeeper's worried words, Mignon and Joanna's eyes darkened slightly.
"Young madam Xi, young madam Gu, what should we do now? I'm really worried that Amelia will get sick in this way." The housekeeper looked at Mignon and Joanna with a sad face and said.
"Haven't Nacho and Cedric come back yet?" Looking at the housekeeper, Mignon asked with a serious expression in her face.
"They have a business party today. They called back just now and said that they would come back late at night. I didn't dare to tell them about Amelia's situation. If they know that, I am afraid..." Speaking of this, the housekeeper shook his head helplessly.
"Go and prepare dinner. We will go to see Abigail." Mignon pursed her lips and waved her hand to let the housekeeper leave.
After the housekeeper left, Joanna looked at the twinkle in Mignon's eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Abigail is really stubborn, I don't know whom she learnt this from." Mignon spread her hands and said to Joanna helplessly.
Joanna looked at Mignon with a smile and said lazily, "I guess it's the special feature of the Xis."
"Young madam Xi, young madam Gu, there's a gentleman called Arno outside, he said that he wants to see Miss Xi."
Just as Joanna was chatting with Mignon, a servant came over and said to them respectfully.
Mignon and Joanna looked at each other, and both of them were confused.
Arno took the initiative to come here to see Amelia? It seemed that • • • Amelia needed to be pushed forward. If they didn't push her, she would never admit her feelings towards Bradley.
Mignon asked the servant to lead Arno in. Looking at Arno who was standing in front of her with a clean smile, Mignon smiled faintly.
"Are you Director Li's youngest son?"
"Yes." Arno looked at Mignon and said in a gentlemanly manner.
Mignon looked at him and said with a faint smile, "Abigail has been in a bad mood recently. She locks herself up in the room today. I don't know what happened, but she doesn't want to tell us. Mr. Li, could you please enlighten her?"
"What's wrong... with her? Is she sick?" Arno asked nervously when he heard that.
Last time when he and Amelia were having dinner in the restaurant, Amelia was taken away by Bradley. Because of this, Arno made a special investigation on Amelia and Bradley, after knowing that they had something to do with each other before, Arno was a little disappointed and dejected. He thought if Amelia liked Bradley, he could give up, as long as Amelia felt happy.
But when he heard that Amelia was not feeling well recently, he couldn't help but want to come and see her.
Mignon touched her chin and said with a smile, "Yeah, Abigail is in her bedroom now. I'll ask the servant to bring you upstairs."
"Okay." Arno looked at Mignon gratefully. A servant came over and took Arno's upstairs. Arno bowed to Joanna and Mignon, then went upstairs.
Looking at Arno's back, Joanna knocked her hand on Mignon. With some puzzlement in her beautiful face, she said, "Mignon, what do you want to do?"
When Joanna saw the naughty smile on Mignon's face, she knew that Mignon must have thought of something interesting. How could she prank Amelia like this? If Amelia knew that, she would definitely be unhappy.
"I didn't do anything."
Mignon spread her hands and said with an extremely innocent expression.
Joanna glanced at Mignon and did not believe what she said at all.
"Sometimes, it's necessary to push Amelia."
With a smile on her face, Mignon said to Joanna while touching her chin.
"You!" Joanna looked at Mignon's teasing face with amusement. She shook her head and then sat down on the sofa in the living room to read.
Just like what Mignon said, what would happened to Amelia depended on herself. No one could help her. The only one who could help her was only herself.
"Amelia." After Amelia met Cornell, she looked pallid. She lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep. She thought of Tyrone, Bradley, and Christ.
The child, whom she had never taken good care of since he was born, called Nelly mother. If Amelia stood in front of him, he might not know her.
However, they didn't know that the scene of their getting along with each other lovingly was photographed by a camera.
In the ward, Bradley was lying on the bed unhappily. His mouth tightened into a thin line as he looked at the door with a cold face.
He had maintained this posture for a long time. As long as there was any sound at the door, he almost jumped up and looked at the door, but he was disappointed every time.
He couldn't see Amelia at the door. Was Amelia really so cruel? She... didn't even come to see Bradley.
"Bradley." Nelly carried the chicken soup and came to Bradley's ward. Seeing Bradley's ashy face, she was a little worried.
"I told you that you are not allowed to come here." When Bradley saw Nelly coming in, he said coldly with annoyance in his eyes.
"I know whom you're waiting for, but... Amelia won't come to see you."
"Shut up!" Hearing this, Bradley's heart seemed to be choked by someone, and his breathing gradually became rapid.
He took a deep breath and yelled at Nelly apathetically.
Hearing Bradley's aloof reproach, Nelly's eyes blurred with tears.
"Bradley, don't think about Amelia anymore. Don't you know that Amelia is dating with the man named Arno now? She doesn't remember that you are injured and lying in the hospital at all."
"Get out!" Bradley was provoked by Nelly's words. He seemed to be crazy and smashed all the things on the table to the ground.
His expression was extremely violent and fierce.
Nelly was scared by the brutal expression on Bradley's face, and her whole body became stiff. "You don't believe what I said, do you? Bradley, in this world, only I love you the most. You miss Amelia so much, but so what? Look at what she is doing now! She doesn't love you at all." Nelly took a deep breath, took out a few photos from her bag and handed them to Bradley.
Bradley looked at the photos in Nelly's hand. His bloodshot eyes were full of horrible fury.
He pursed his lips and said tepidly, "Did you send someone to follow her?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want you to be deceived by Amelia. She's not worthy of your love at all. Look at how intimate she and Arno are!" Nelly's face was a little twisted and mad as she said to Bradley angrily.
Bradley frowned, he looked at Nelly grimly and cruelly.
There was mood swings in his eyes. He said in a cold voice, "Nelly, what happens between me and Amelia has nothing to do with you."
"Even if you see these photos, you still... love Amelia?" Nelly opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect that Bradley would defend Amelia like this.
She thought that Bradley would give up on Amelia when he saw these photos. At least, he would not think about her anymore.
But Nelly underestimated Amelia's status in Bradley's heart.
Even if Bradley saw the photos with his own eyes, he didn't believe the contents of the photos.
"It's none of your business. Get out of here!" Bradley glanced at those photos coldly, and there was fury and apathy in his eyes. He kicked the tea table aside heavily. The loud noise sounded extremely frightening in the quiet ward.
Nelly was scared by this noise and her whole body froze. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Bradley, motionless. Finally, she seemed to be very disappointed, she covered her mouth and left Bradley's ward.
After Nelly left, Bradley covered his wound and slowly knelt on the ground to pick up the photos on the ground.
