"The seasons are changing so you should be extra careful," Lucian said, still frowning.
"Mr. Lucian, why are you always nagging me?" Amelia protested. On the inside, though, she was flattered with Lucian's concern.
Amelia's mind was elsewhere. She was conflicted if she was going to ask Lucian about something or not.
"You've barely said a word on the ride. If you have something to say, just say it," Lucian said upon noticing the strange look on Amelia's face.
Amelia looked at Lucian in surprise. She remained silent for a while before speaking, "Well, the servant in the Zhan mansion told me that the reason why father's leg disease is worse than before is... The servant said that mom pushed dad in the backyard and got him wet because it was raining. But when mom pushed dad in the backyard, it wasn't raining yet..."
Amelia couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling she had in her chest. Confused as she was, she could tell that something was wrong.
Lucian frowned and his eyes darkened.
Amelia's heart ached when she saw this look on his face.
"Do you think the servant was telling the truth?" Amelia had thought that Lucian would help her analyze and solve the problem, but to her surprise, he only asked her more questions.
Amelia was a little taken aback, not knowing what to say. With much hesitation, she said, "Maybe, I'm just overthinking things."
"Are you saying that my mother purposely harmed your father?" Lucian pressed.
Hearing this,
m here when you get better."
"You're. Even if you had brought him, I wouldn't even be able to hold him," Nicholas said softly.
Amelia didn't know why but he was so careful whenever she was around him. She couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed about this.
"Father, I want to confirm something with you..." Amelia said hesitantly. She tried her best to dispel her suspicions even though Nicholas's legs were getting better already.
"Go ahead. I'll tell you everything I know." Seeing the frown on Amelia's face, Nicholas naturally assumed that something bad had happened.
"I heard from a servant here that your legs got worse because of the incident yesterday morning." Amelia's brows furrowed together.
Upon hearing this, Nicholas's brows knitted slightly but he quickly shifted to a calmer expression. Lightheartedly, he answered, "Yes, it got soaked in the rain but your mother helped me back inside the villa right away."
"Was it mom who pushed you?" Amelia asked.
Nicholas seemed hesitant as he didn't want Fannie and Amelia to fight anymore.
"The weather was nice. I was heading to the backyard to have a look. But who knows? It rained soon." Nicholas smiled stiffly as he tried to hide the truth.
Amelia stared at Nicholas. She didn't know whether she should believe what Nicholas said or the servants...
"My child, what's wrong?" He couldn't help but feel worried when Amelia didn't say anything as a look of confusion lingered on her face.
