After he brought her back to the SJ Garden, Lucian then drove back to the hospital.
The next morning, Amelia went to the hospital so that Lucian could leave and rest. When she arrived at the hospital, the nurse informed her that Nicholas had left the hospital.
She thought that it was very odd. No matter how fast Nicholas recovered, it would take at least three days before he was well enough to leave the hospital. But it had been only one night.
The situation confused her and she wasn't sure what to make of it so she decided to call Lucian. After a few rings she found out that his phone was turned off.
Since calling Lucian was futile, she decided to call the Zhan mansion. One of the servants answered the phone. The servant informed her that Nicholas had not returned to the Zhan mansion yet.
Panic steadily increased in her, Amelia rushed out of the hospital and drove all the way to the Zhan Group.
She suddenly remembered that Lucian was acting strange last night and he asked her to leave almost forcibly. He didn't want her to stay with Nicholas in the hospital after dinner.
The more she thought about the situation, the more worried she felt.
A short time later, Amelia arrived at the Zhan Group.
She stared at the building with a sigh as she exited the car. The place was quite familiar to her by now.
She wanted to see Lucian and clarify with him what really happened. She almost ignored the greeting of the reception girl as she walked into the lobby of the building.
"Mrs. Amelia, Mr. Lucian is in an important meeting. You can't go in," Eric announced as she approached the door of the CEO's office.
"I need to have a word with him real quick and then I'll leave," Amelia replied in an agitated tone of voice.
The image of Nicholas getting discharged from the hospital despite being w
o work. I'm fine," Amelia said as she refused Eric's offer.
"Mr. Lucian has always been too busy these days, Mrs. Amelia. Please don't take whatever he said too seriously." Eric was aware how much Lucian cared about Amelia. Lucian said those words on purpose, but it was not yet the right time to tell her about the whole plan.
She shook her head and smiled bitterly. "My behavior was not good too."
After she got into her car, Amelia took a deep breath and decided to go back to the Zhan mansion. She started the engine and drove off.
She suspected that Nicholas was still not back at the Zhan mansion yet even when she was on her way to the Zhan mansion.
If she was to believe what Lucian said, then that means Nicholas was in a safe place. She suspected that Lucian had brought Nicholas to an undisclosed location.
Despite this possibility, Amelia still felt sad.
She couldn't get over his words "your father." When she thought about it, she felt a stinging pain in her heart.
A servant immediately met her as she entered the gate of the mansion. Amelia parked her car and then exited it to talk with the servant. "Has Mr. Nicholas returned yet?" she asked.
The servant shook her head and replied, "Even Darren has not returned yet."
'Darren? Darren was also there and he took care of Nicholas last night,' she suddenly thought.
If Lucian brought Nicholas somewhere and he didn't take Darren with him there then Darren would be back at the Zhan mansion. But since Darren had not returned yet, then Darren must be taking care of Nicholas.
However, even with this thought, Amelia still felt worried.
She could not understand why Lucian did what he did, and she could not understand why he suddenly became close to Edmund considering his disgust for him in the past.
Was it because of their blood tie?
