Chapter 157 An Appointment With Jonny

The car slowed down to a halt. There was an annoyed look in Jonny's eyes as he let out a sharp sigh. "Why didn't I think of this before?" He was doing this to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Noticing the worried look on Jonny's face, Amelia smiled and said, "Don't worry. Lucian is not that narrow-minded. Besides, you have been friends with him for so many years now."

"I hope so." Jonny's eyebrows were furrowed deeply. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the reason why he came to find Amelia in the first place. "My mother is sick," Jonny explained. "She kept calling your name last night. I've thought about it a lot before I asked you to come and see her."

"Auntie is sick?" Amelia asked in disbelief. Just a couple of days ago, Amelia saw her at the hospital. "Has she gone to see a doctor yet?"

"She's been sick for quite some time now," Jonny explained. "There are times when she doesn't feel anything at all. But when she does, it's very painful for her." His voice was filled with distress and sadness.

Amelia had fallen quiet as she thought of Emma. For all the times she had met her, Emma had always been such a kind but quiet person, and there was always a smile on her face.

"Ever since I took over the An Group, my father has been staying at home every day. I thought he and my mother would finally start getting along." With his head down low, Jonny shook his head. "I didn't know that things would get even worse between them. It made my mother even more depressed, and she started getting her asthma attacks more frequently than before." Jonny tightly clutched onto the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white.

Amelia remembered how Jonny had told her last time that Edmund treated Emma badly. It was really surprising

irl who's suitable for him, please introduce her to Jonny right away," Emma said with a laugh.

"Yes, of course auntie," Amelia said light-heartedly.

The two of them continued to chat happily, their laughter lifting up room's atmosphere. When Jonny had finished preparing breakfast, he went back to Emma's room. "Mom, how can you be so biased towards Amelia?" he asked, pouting his lips like a child. "I always try to tease you and make you laugh but it never works. How come you can't stop laughing when you're talking to Amelia?"

With the same smile on her face, Emma took hold of Amelia's hand and said gently, "Oh, I don't know... Amelia is just such a lovely person that it's really hard to feel anything negative when she's around."

Feeling bashful, Amelia lowered her head with a smile on her face.

"Since you like Amelia so much, why don't you adopt Amelia as your goddaughter?" Jonny suggested with a smile.

Emma's eyes widened in surprise at Jonny's sudden suggestion. But after thinking about it for a while, she smiled awkwardly and looked at Amelia. "Well, that would be a good idea. I just don't know if Amelia would agree to it..."

"Of course. We should ask Amelia first," Jonny said, looking expectantly at Amelia.

It was all so sudden, but Amelia really liked Emma. The way Emma treated her was so kind and loving. If she ended up as Emma's goddaughter, it would be as if she would finally get the maternal love she had barely gotten.

"There's nothing better I could hope for, auntie," Amelia replied with a smile.

"So it's settled! Congratulations!" Jonny exclaimed excitedly.

His humorous words made Emma laugh. She held Amelia's hand and sighed, "Even if Amelia can't be my daughter-in-law, at least she's still close to me."
