Chapter 58 Ended Up With Acute Gastroenteritis

Just as she was left wondering, her phone suddenly buzzed. It was a message from an unknown number. It read, "Amelia, don't worry. Lucian's with me."

'Amelia...' For some reason, it sounded like Sasha.

At that moment, Amelia felt as if she'd been punched right in the gut. Her heart twisted in pain as she felt her entire body go numb.

Her hand was trembling as she held her phone. Standing alone in the room, she was at a loss.

Suddenly, her stomach started grumbling—she was hungry already. Since Lucian wasn't around, she wasn't really in the mood to cook so she dragged herself upstairs to take a nap. She figured that was the only way to make herself feel better.

She slept through the entire night.

Initially, she thought she'd have a hard time falling asleep or she'd wake up around midnight. However, that wasn't what happened—she ended up sleeping until dawn.

Since the holidays were over, she had to go to work again. When she woke up, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth. Grabbing a bottle of milk and a piece of toast, she headed out.

Although there was still some time before work, Amelia decided she didn't want to drive the flashy car Lucian had given her. She then intended to walk to the bus stop and just take a bus going to work.

It rained the entire last night and that morning, the sky was grey and foggy. It was a cold winter morning so the roads were slippery.

pon hearing this, Lucian seemed visibly dejected. It was as if Amelia thanking her meant an entirely different thing to him.

If she didn't have acute gastroenteritis, would he have still treated her the same?

Amelia didn't think much about it. She stood up and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I can go to work now." It was still work hours and she didn't want to delay her work or Lucian's work.

"No, I'll bring you home." He held her hands and looked at her warmly.

Under his intense gaze, Amelia flushed. She lowered her head and shook her head. "I feel much better now since I already took the meds."

He then stood up and proceeded to carry her in his arms.

"I..." Just as Amelia was about to protest, Lucian shot her a look that made her shut up.

When they returned to his office, Lucian continued to carry Amelia into his lounge.

Amelia's face turned white with fear. She sat up from the bed, still protesting and insisting that she was feeling much better.

Without answering her, he pressed her back on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Then he said in a calm voice, "If you want to help me, just behave."

With that, Amelia remained quiet.

There was also a part of her that was a bit scared of Lucian so she just followed what he said.

As Amelia watched him walk off, she felt as if her heart was empty. She was feeling so many things and she couldn't voice any of them out.
