Chapter 123 Bring Mrs. Amelia Home

"Oh, sweet girl! Don't you think it's a little weird?" Knowing how she would react to the information, Lucian told Courtney to keep the truth from Amelia for the time being. But Courtney didn't want to keep her friend in the dark and worry herself to death about her landlady. She swallowed before she said to her, "Well, promise me you won't think too much about it, but there's something you need to know about Mrs. Chen."

"Mrs. Chen?" Amelia couldn't believe what she just heard. Did something happen to her landlady?

"Was she not at home?" Courtney didn't wish to make Amelia recall the horrible events of last night, but she said nevertheless, "If it hadn't been for this, I would have continued believing she was just as kind as you are!"

Amelia couldn't think of anything to say. She merely held herself and denied everything that Courtney spoke. Mrs. Chen had always been kind to her, she told herself.

It was ten in the morning when Jonny came to see Amelia. Opening the door to her room, he could instantly tell that she was feeling down. Courtney went up to him to tell him what had happened.

After learning everything from Courtney, Jonny dragged a chair and sat beside Amelia's bed. With a friendly smile, he said to her, "I heard that Lucian saved a certain damsel last night."

He joked, hoping to turn Amelia's sour mood around.

"Jonny!" Amelia didn't even notice that Jonny had entered the room. After recovering from surprise, she acknowledged him with a nod.

She bit her lip and didn't dare say a word. Her eyes betrayed her anxiety. Jonny didn't say anything for a while until he smiled and finally said, "Amelia, you'll find plenty of other people to love and be friends with. Please

here, Mr. Lucian," Lily said, jokingly sticking out her tongue.

Lucian gave her an appreciative smile. "We're so lucky to have you, Lily. You've been nothing but kind to us," Lucian couldn't help but compliment her.

Hearing his words, Lily laughed and replied, "I'm kind to you and Mrs. Amelia because you treat me very well. You don't put on airs like other rich people."

"It's Amelia you should be thanking, really. It was she who hired you after all," Lucian reminded, glancing at Lily through the rear-view mirror. Lucian had been used to doing most things alone, requiring little to no service. The only reason he had thought to look for a maid was that he thought Amelia felt bored staying home all alone every time he was at work.

"I should also be thanking you, Mr. Lucian. If you hadn't married Mrs. Amelia, you'd never have hired me!" Lily said sweetly.

Lucian and Lily conversed happily in the car until they reached the hotel driveway.

Noticing that Lucian had no intention of getting out of the car, Lily asked, "Aren't you coming up to see Mrs. Amelia?"

"No. I'll be picking her up tomorrow anyway. You two have a nice chat and enjoy yourselves." Amelia had already tried to avoid him earlier that day. Lucian knew that Amelia would be more at ease if he wasn't there.

"I understand, Mr. Lucian. Take care on your way back," Lily said as she stepped out of the car, and waved at him.

Lucian only nodded and drove off.

Amelia had a great day in her large room. There was TV to watch and books to read so it was impossible to get bored.

Looking at the clock and noting the time, she wondered why Courtney had not yet arrived. She was about to call her friend when the doorbell rang.
