"Here you go! Have my coat!" Even though she had a thin coat, Amelia hoped that it would help Claire's situation. Amelia could no longer bear to see her shiver in the cold.
Lucian frowned after he saw what Amelia had done. He quickly took off his suit coat and wrapped it around his wife.
Although Lucian behaved somewhat brashly, Amelia still appreciated his gesture.
It was right around two o'clock in the morning when they found themselves walking out of the hospital with Claire.
"Where do you live? Let us give you a ride home," Lucian offered somewhat coldly.
Amelia looked worriedly at Claire. Lucian knew that the only way to ease Amelia's mind was to ensure that Claire got home safely.
Claire looked back at Lucian. She shook her head and stammered, "I... I have no place to go..."
"What do you mean, Claire?" Amelia frowned and could not believe what she just heard.
Lucian looked brooding. He could not stop being vigilant towards other people, especially given the troubles that their marriage had gotten into.
Even though Claire seemed harmless, Lucian could not shake the thought of this person possibly hurting his soft-hearted Amelia.
"I've been living in a villa set out by Jonny, but I cannot stay there tonight... You see, we got into a huge fight and he asked me not to go back," Claire said while sobbing uncontrollably.
"Is that why you were in a taxi so late at night?" Amelia began to slowly piece together what had happened to Claire, but there was one thing Amelia coul
ange my mind because of him..."
'Is she referring to Jonny?'
Amelia understood that everything Claire did was out of her love for Jonny.
Amelia smiled and said, "All relationships are complex. We can't see through some things, but we can always learn and grow from them."
"Yes, I love him so much..." Claire said with tears in her eyes.
Claire's words resonated strongly unto Amelia's heart.
Amelia completely understood what Claire had felt. Like her guest, Amelia knew what it was like to be abandoned by a man she loved so deeply...
"There are so many good men in this world. Don't hang yourself on one tree!" Lily said with a deep sigh. She could not forget the two jerks she had met.
Claire smiled in agreement with that cliché and replied, "I know, but moving on takes time. If only I could control how my heart felt!"
"You are right. But it will be better as time goes by." Lily had also taken her time adjusting with her current environment.
"Amelia, Lily, thank you for your time and tolerance. I better get going." Claire stood up quickly, then bade farewell to both Amelia and Lily.
Amelia stood up and asked worriedly, "Have you found a place to stay in, Claire?"
Claire shook her head. With a forced smile, she said, "Don't worry. I can take care of myself."
"Why don't you stay in SJ Garden in the meantime? You can leave as soon as you've found a place to stay," Amelia offered. She genuinely cared for Claire, for Amelia knew how difficult it was to be heartbroken and lost.
