Chapter 165 For a Healthy Family for the Child
Amber's face stiffened. She bitted her lip tightly and looked at Frederick with a look of grievance.
"Frederick, I know you're still blaming me for taking Brittany's money and leaving you back then, but at that time..."
With a cold face, Frederick walked past them.
Scott raised an eyebrow slightly. Seeing the elevator doors about to close, he reached out to stop the elevator doors, which automatically opened, and he walked in.
"Are you coming or not?" he saw Amber frozen in place and asked.
Amber gritted her teeth. Although unwilling, she could only choose to leave. She walked into the elevator with a stern face, standing next to Scott.
The elevator doors closed, and Scott casually played with the ring on his finger.
Amber saw him looking so relaxed, furrowing her brows tightly.
"Scott, if you like Amelia, why don't you make an effort?"
Scott raised an eyebrow, lifted his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Amber.
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Seeing the playful and teasing look in his beautiful eyes, Amber finally pursed her lips and said nothing.
"No suggestions. I just didn't expect you to be so calm, not even making an effort when you see Amelia you like."
Scott withdrew his gaze indifferently from Amber, paused his hand playing with the ring for a moment, then remained silent.
Amelia and Brittany's attending physician exchanged a few words briefly, learned about Brittany's current condition, and felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
When Frederick arrived, she whispered goodbye to the attending physician.
The two passed by each other.
Frederick didn't look at Amelia, and Amelia didn't spare an extra glance at Frederick, as if they were strangers.
Paul, who had been standing next to Amelia just now, was dumbfounded by this scene.
The two who were fine last night had become strangers today, and he didn't know what conflict had occurred between them.
The following days were the same.
Amelia visited Brittany in the intensive care unit every day, always a few minutes earlier than Frederick.
As soon as Frederick arrived, she would find an excuse to leave.
Neither of them took the initiative to speak to each other.
It was as if they were both mad at each other.
After Brittany's vital signs stabilized, she was transferred to a VIP ward.
After a few days of adjustment, Brittany reluctantly accepted the fact that she had lost her ability to speak.
After work, Amelia would spend some time with Brittany every day.
Every time Amelia came, Brittany would tightly hold Amelia's hand and listen to Amelia talk about work-related matters.
Brittany often opened her mouth but remained silent.
Every time Amelia saw Brittany like this, she felt heartbroken.
Brittany had supported the entire Hastings family when she was young, nurturing Frederick so well.
A person like her would rather peacefully pass away than live in such a miserable state.
Amelia could see Brittany's thoughts, and although she didn't get any response, no matter what she said, she patiently came to accompany Brittany every day.
The news of Brittany's stroke quickly reached Madison.
Cynthia and Harold disagreed on Dylan's matter, so when Madison and Harold came to visit Brittany, Cynthia did not come along.
Madison walked into Brittany's ward, As she saw Amelia holding Brittany's hand, chatting with her, her expression couldn't help but turned sullen slightly, and then she shifted her gaze away from Amelia to Brittany.
" Brittany, I'm here to see you."
Brittany smiled at Madison, nodded, and then gestured for Madison to come closer.
Madison walked to Brittany's side with a cane, standing in front of Amelia.
Amelia immediately understood Madison's intention, got up from the sofa, and stood aside.
Brittany held Madison's hand, patted it, and made a few hoarse sounds incomprehensible to anyone.
Madison, seeing Brittany in this state, couldn't help but look up at Amelia.
Amelia restrained her emotions and said softly,
"Brittany had a stroke and lost her ability to speak."
In front of Madison, Brittany finally showed a hint of vulnerability, and her eyes welled up with tears uncontrollably.
Madison glanced at Brittany with a slightly subtle expression on her face.
She took a deep breath and then said to Amelia and Harold,
"Both of you, leave. I want to talk to Brittany alone."
Brittany nodded.
Amelia then turned and left the ward.
Harold followed Amelia out.
That day at the Kingsley family, Madison said some harsh words, so Harold felt ashamed when he saw Amelia.
Seeing Amelia about to return to the office, Harold immediately stopped her.
"Amelia, what Madison said at the Davis Manor was a bit too much. Dylan explained later, and I also talked to her. I hope you don't mind."
Amelia remained calm and said calmly,
"Dylan has already apologized to me."
Harold had been paying attention to the relationship between Dylan and Amelia during this time, realizing that Amelia had never contacted Dylan.
And Dylan didn't contact Amelia either, indicating that there wasn't a deep emotional bond between them.
Although the Davis Manor had suffered greatly over the past three years, it had now been restored by Rachel.
The Davis family's status in Kasfee was much higher than that of the Kingsley family.
Amelia was aware of Dylan's quirks. If she took it seriously, she might not marry into the Kingsley family.
"Amelia, you and Dylan have a child after all. Although Anna was born by accident, since you chose to have her, you also have to take responsibility for her life. Why don't you marry Dylan, create a healthy family, and give Anna a complete home?"
When Harold said this, he looked at Amelia as if seeking her opinion.
Amelia frowned, about to answer, when she saw Frederick walking out from around the corner with a cold face.
He looked stern, exuding a fierce aura all around him.
Harold's face changed slightly when he saw Frederick mustering up the courage to greet Frederick.
"Frederick, are you here to accompany Brittany?"
Frederick didn't respond to Harold's words. He walked past them with a cold face, pushed open Brittany's ward door directly, and walked in.
Harold turned pale when he saw Frederick ignoring him like that.
Frederick had heard what he had just said.
Although Amelia and Frederick were divorced, they were a couple after all.
If Amelia remarried and married his cousin, Dylan, it would indeed be hard to accept.
Harold was worried.
If the marriage with the Davis family didn't work out and he offended Frederick, the Kingsley family would have no support for Kasfee in the future.
Harold felt regret at this moment and thought that he shouldn't have spoken so rashly to Amelia.
