“Watch out!”Someone grabbed her by the arm just in time, holding her steady before she collapsed on the ground.It was Jayden.His voice of concern rang in her ears. “Mia…”Amelia leaned on his chest, her entire body going limp as she wept torrents of tears.Gerald’s face darkened at the sight before him.“Jayden Zephyr, let go of her!” Gerald’s voice boomed along the corridor as he rebuked him sternly. “She is your ex-sister-in-law. How could you hold her like this? What if word were to spread? Are you bent on embarrassing our entire family?”Jayden’s brows furrowed tight. Instead of releasing Amelia, he held her even tighter.He looked straight into Gerald’s eyes and said firmly, “Dad, she isn’t just my ex-sister-in-law. She’s also my younger sister. That’s what I’ve always treated her as.”Gerald was choked with fury, his face darkening with anger. He was so furious he was at a loss for words.Christopher stood by the side, watching Amelia who was still in Jayden’s embrac

The pain sent tears streaming down Evelyn’s cheeks, but she bit her lip hard to stop herself from crying out loud. She said in between muffled sobs, “Mom, it doesn’t hurt…”“How could it not hurt?” Amelia choked back on sobs, her entire body shaking.Grandma was gone, and now, her daughter was injured. Overwhelming worry and sorrow clashed in her heart; Amelia felt like she could explode any moment.She tightened her hold over Evelyn.“You’re fine. I’ll bring you to the hospital and it won’t hurt anymore.”Amelia quickly found a clean towel and wet it with some cool water before applying it on Evelyn’s burn wounds. She grabbed a jacket and wrapped Evelyn up in it before rushing out of the house.When she opened the door, she found herself staring straight into a deep, focused gaze.Christopher was standing right outside, leaning lazily against the wall. His leisurely stance failed to hide the fatigue in his eyes.There were dark circles under his eyes and a stubble growing on

“Should I keep my distance from the entire Zephyr family instead?”Christopher's eyes turned dark as he swallowed hard.Just then, the door to the treatment room opened and a nurse walked out with Evelyn in her arms. Evelyn was fast asleep from all that crying. Tears were still hanging on her cheeks. Her arm was all wrapped up in bandages.“Her wounds are cleaned up and dealt with,” the director said, emerging from behind the nurse. “We’ve also cleaned up the blister and applied some ointment before we bandaged it up. Remember not to let the wound come in contact with water and come back again to have her bandage changed. There shouldn’t be any scars left behind.”Amelia hurriedly stood up to take Evelyn from the nurse, but Christopher beat her to it. He wrapped Evelyn in his arms so carefully and tenderly, he looked nothing like his usual self.He certainly didn’t look the way he looked in the past when he didn’t seem to love Evelyn.“Thank you, doctor,” Amelia said.“Don’t men

“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’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
