On one hand, she didn't want to deny it. On the other hand, she couldn't accept it.
When Sophia and Yolanda arrived, she was treated worse than the maids hired by the Mo family and was constantly ridiculed by Sophia and Yolanda every day. Vernon kept silent the entire time that she was maltreated.
She originally believed that Vernon was so in love with Sophia that he decided to leave his wife to be with her. He spoiled Yolanda because he wanted to impress Sophia. He felt that it was for the best since it was difficult to be a stepfather.
But the truth hit her quite hard. She felt like everyone in the world knew about it except her. She even admired how much the Mo family loved each other. To show her admiration, she even forgave Vernon for what he said and did to Iris.
"Am I so naive? I didn't see the truth when it was plain for everyone to see," Amelia said sadly. She looked frustrated and distressed.
Lucian pulled her into his arms and kissed her ear gently. "You still have me no matter how naive you are," he said softly to her.
Amelia bit her lips and didn't say anything. The tears started falling freely down her cheeks.
Lucian's words comforted her and made her feel safe. Two things that she needed to feel the most that time.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tightly. She felt like holding on to the mast of a ship as powerful winds from the storm of life whipped against it and threatened to capsize it.
Amelia had been in a confused mental state since the time that she found out that she was her mother's adopted child. She ate and slept normally every day but everything else seemed gray to her.
She often found herself absent-minded and
sponsible for what happened, if that's what you're worried about."
She thought that the driver was an irresponsible person and didn't want to bother wasting her time on him anymore. She felt that it would be pointless to try and make an irresponsible person become responsible for anything.
"Excuse me, miss. You are a witness to this accident. You can't leave yet. Otherwise, who can testify on my behalf?" The taxi driver held Amelia's arm and looked at her with pleading eyes.
The man who caused the accident didn't look like he regretted what happened at all. He stood by his car with a cool manner as he watched the other driver.
Amelia felt another tugging pain in her belly. She held her belly with both of her hands. "Deal with it yourself. I have other things to worry about. I am no longer feeling well," she shouted angrily at the driver.
At that same moment, Lily arrived on the scene running. "Mrs. Amelia, are you OK?" she asked in a worried tone. The look of anxiousness filled her face.
Amelia looked at her and shook her head. Her eyes were filled with worry. "I need to get to the hospital. Check if there is a cab nearby that we can take."
"I called Mr. Lucian. He should be here shortly," Lily said as she reached her hand out to help steady Amelia. Her face looked even worried when she noticed that Amelia was sweating heavily and was in pain.
Amelia gritted her teeth as the pain steadily intensified. She found a place to sit and walked towards it with the help of Lily. Lily then helped sit Amelia and they waited for Lucian.
"Sweetie, can you still hang on? You can take my car if you want." The man who caused the accident stood in front of Amelia and offered.
