Bradley's face darkened as he said with a grim expression, "I believe Amelia."
"Remember what you said." Nacho took a cold look at Bradley, and then went to see Amelia with Cedric.
Christ's ward was full of people. Even if Nelly didn't want Cedric and Nacho to come to see Christ, she couldn't say anything when she saw them. In terms of blood, they were Christ's uncles.
"Cedric, Nacho." Seeing them, Amelia couldn't chock back her tears anymore, she burst into tears.
Seeing Amelia crying, Cedric sighed and held her in his arms, saying, "What are you crying for? Christ is all right now, isn't he?"
"I'm scared." Amelia buried her head in Cedric's arms, pulled his clothes and rubbed her tears and snot on it.
Seeing that Amelia was still the same as when she was a child, Cedric was helpless and amused.
He raised his hand, touched Amelia's face lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Silly girl."
"Christ will be fine. I've found the best doctor for him. Don't worry." Nacho touched Amelia's soft hair and said blandly.
Amelia sniffed heavily and said to Nacho, "Thank you, Nacho."
"Thank me for what? We are his uncles. Is it necessary to thank us?" Nacho seemed to be a little unhappy.
Only then did Amelia not thank Nacho anymore. Mignon and Joanna cooked some chicken soup for Christ. They asked Amelia to feed Christ the soup after he woke up. Just as Amelia was about to nod, Nelly, who remained silent all the time, suddenly said coldly, "Mrs. Xi, Mrs. Gu, I think you'd better take the chicken soup back. I won't let Christ drink your chicken soup."
"Nelly, what did you say?" Hearing Nelly's words, both Mignon and Joanna got annoyed.
Nacho and Cedric also wanted to say something, but Mignon stopped them.
"What did I say? I'm doing this for my son's own good. Christ got hurt because he drank the chicken soup. I won't let him get hurt again. Please take the chicken soup away."
"Nelly, you're not qualified to speak here." Bradley came in and scolded Nelly with cold eyes.
Hearing Bradley's reproach, Nelly's heart suddenly shrank, and tears ran out of her eyes unconsciously.
She pinched her palm, looked at Bradley and growled in a sharp voice, "Bradley, how can you say that? Christ is my son! Amelia gave birth to him, but so what? I'm the one who accompanies him and takes care of him."
"When Christ was sick, he refused to take medicine. At that time, it was me who held him and comforted him for a whole night. Where was Amelia? She didn't do anything for Christ, what qualification does she have to take away Christ from me?"
Nelly's voice was sharp and harsh, echoing throughout the ward.
Bradley's face became extremely mad.
He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and he looked so hardhearted.
"Bradley, no." Amelia knew that Bradley was going to be angry. She stepped forward, grabbed Bradley's arm and shook her head at him.
With a straight face, Bradley looked at Amelia and said in a deep voice, "Amelia..."
"Ahem." When the whole ward was in a strange atmosphere, Christ, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly woke up.
He let out a weak cough, breaking the stiff atmosphere in the ward.
Hearing Christ's voice, everyone showed a look of concern, especially Mignon and Joanna, they looked at Christ who was on the hospital bed together.
"Christ, how do you feel?"
Mignon and Joanna asked Christ who had opened his eyes very gently.
Christ's head was a little dizzy. He looked at Mignon and Joanna, then said in an unusually weak voice, "Mom..."
"Christ, mom is here. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Nelly rushed to the bed, touched Christ's hair and kissed his forehead, saying.
Looking at how intimately Nelly treated Christ, Amelia's heart seemed to be torn into pieces, she felt so uncomfortable. "Christ." Bradley's eyes darkened when he saw the sad expression on Amelia's face.
He lifted his legs and walked towards Christ, who was on the hospital bed.
Christ's big eyes were wide open, and his face was pale, looking a little pitiful.
When he saw Bradley, there was a strong desire in his eyes. He reached out his hands as if he wanted Bradley to hug him.
"It's okay now." Bradley picked up Christ from the bed and whispered.
"Dad... I... feel so uncomfortable." Christ leaned against Bradley's arms and said in a weak voice.
"I know that you're not feeling well. Daddy is here, so don't be afraid."
Bradley touched Christ's hair tenderly and said slowly.
Looking at Christ's pale face, Amelia's heart ached.
She couldn't help but reach out her hands. When she was about to touch Christ's face, Christ avoided her hands with some disgust.
"This is your biological mother. Christ, hurry up and call her mom."
Looking at how Christ avoided Amelia, Bradley frowned and said.
Christ seemed to be very resistant to Amelia. For some reason, Bradley felt sad when he saw Amelia's doleful face.
Christ said to Bradley with waxen lips, "No, she is not my mother. My mother will not hurt me. I don't have such a bad mother!"
"Christ, I didn't... poison you."
Christ's words were like knives, cutting Amelia's heart cruelly.
Amelia was in pain, but she had no way to remove the pain.
"You did. I spat blood just because I drank your chicken soup. Dad, she is a bad woman. Don't be deceived by her. I don't want to see her!"
Christ called Amelia a bad woman, which made Amelia almost have a nervous breakdown. She couldn't even stand up.
Mignon and Joanna walked to Amelia and held her body so that she didn't fall to the ground.
When Bradley saw Amelia's ashy face, his eyes clouded with horrible aloofness.
For Christ, Amelia was a very bad woman. Because of her, Bradley slapped Nelly and even scolded Nelly with such an angry expression.
Therefore, Amelia was a very bad woman.
Christ hated Amelia very much, he really hated her.
"Don't be sad, I will let Christ accept you slowly." Bradley walked out of Christ's ward and saw Amelia sitting outside the ward with a lonely face. After a deep sigh, he held her waist and said.
Amelia raised her head and glanced at Bradley. She said in a husky voice, "Bradley, actually, Christ is right."
It was her who abandoned Christ that year. It was understandable that Christ treated her with hatred and disgust. This was her punishment given by god.
"If you still talk nonsense like this, I will be angry." Bradley frowned unhappily and said with grim eyes.
Amelia leaned against Bradley's arms and whispered, "I want to... go back and have a rest."
"Okay, I'll take you home." Bradley left the hospital with Amelia in his arms. After Bradley and Amelia got on the elevator, Nelly stood at the door of the ward and watched them leave.
She bit her lips hard and her eyes were full of flames of fury. Jealousy kept biting Nelly's heart and made her be overwhelmed by hatred.
"Mom." Christ called Nelly in the ward.
Nelly composed her thoughts. She took a deep breath and turned to walk into Christ's ward.
Christ's was a little weak. He opened his red eyes, pulled Nelly's clothes and said, "Mom, don't cry. I'm here and I will protect you."
His childish words made Nelly burst into tears uncontrollably.
She hugged Christ's soft body with some bitterness. Thinking of what Christ had suffered, she said painfully, "Stupid child, I don't need you to protect me. I need to protect you."
Christ quietly leaned in Nelly's arms, but there was only one thought in his mind, that was to protect Nelly well.
"I'm sorry, Christ, I'm really... sorry."
Thinking of Christ's words, Nelly's felt so guilty. She held Christ in her arms and kept apologizing. Christ leaned against Nelly's chest and gently patted the back of Nelly's hand with his soft hand. He said, "I'm here. Mom, don't be afraid."
"Amelia, it's you who hurt me. You hurt Christ... It's all because of you... If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered so much. It's all because of you... everything is because of you..."
During the days when Christ was hospitalized, Amelia cooked chicken soup for him every day.
The servants could cook the chicken soup, but Amelia insisted on cooking by herself.
Looking at how busy Amelia was, both of Mignon and Joanna were worried about her health. They wanted to help Amelia, but she was very stubborn and did not want anyone to help her.
"Forget it, let Abigail do it herself. After all, this is the soup for Christ." Seeing Joanna's worried face, Mignon reached out her hand and gently patted Joanna's hand, saying.
"When do you think that Christ will accept Abigail?"
Joanna took her eyes back from the kitchen and asked Mignon.
After hearing this, Mignon said helplessly, "I don't know. He will forgive Abigail soon or later, won't he? After all, they are biological mother and son. Christ is small now, and he is brought up by Nelly. It's understandable for him to regard Nelly as his mother."
