Chapter 1151

“Yes, Amelia. Warren definitely loves you, so it depends on whether you love him or not,” Lillian said. “If you still love him, there’s no harm in giving each other a chance. If you two are not suitable for one another, you won’t regret it if you separate.”

Amelia smiled wryly. “But I’m afraid that… if we separated after being together, I wouldn’t be able to get through it like the previous time.”

“Are you afraid that Warren will betray you again and cause harm to you?” Lillian asked.

Amelia kept silent, but her silence had already signified that Lillian was right.

“It depends on whether you believe his feelings for you or not. If so, I think it’s better to take a gamble,” Lillian said. “Life is a gamble. We’ll never know how our lives will turn out before the last day. Just like me. When I got together with Callum back then, I thought the same. Rather than hesitating, take the leap. At least you won’t regret it in the future!”

Amelia looked at Lillian in surprise. Only at this moment did she realize Lillian was far more insightful than she thought.

Among the trio, Lillian seemed to have experienced the fewest challenges. Therefore, she was also the most optimistic in terms of personality. But compared with her hesitation and Rosalie’s overthinking, Lillian was the wisest and most decisive person!

Rosalie said, “Amelia, you said you were afraid that you might not be able to get through another separation like the previous time. In fact… this means that you love Warren, right? You’re even afraid that you’ll fall too deeply in love if you get together with him, far deeper than the first time, hence your worry about not being able to get through it, right?”

Amelia was stunned. “I’m… in love with Warren?” she thought.

She wanted to deny it, but she could not say those words.

She asked herself, “Do I truly not love him? If I didn’t love him, why would my heart ache so much when I saw the cuts he drew on his neck and him lying on the operating table?”

Amelia did not answer, while Rosalie and Lillian tacitly did not ask further.

1/4 09:23 It was not until the car arrived at the concession stand and they got out with Amelia that Lillian asked before leaving, “Amelia, what kind of plans do you have? We won’t get involved. You have to decide your love matters on your own. But no matter what kind of situation you get into in the future, Rosalie and I will still be by your side. If you’re happy, we’ll rejoice together. If you’re sad, come and vent to us. If you have any difficulties, we can overcome them together!”

Amelia’s eyes turned red, and she felt a lump in her throat.

Rosalie gently patted Amelia on the shoulder. “Lillian and I are also your family, Amelia. If there’s anything, let’s shoulder it together. So sometimes, you need not hesitate too much. Just follow your heart!”

“Follow my heart?” Amelia was still thinking about it after Lillian and Rosalie left.

She thought, “My heart…”

Just then, Matilda came over and said to her daughter, “Thank goodness you’ve been discharged from the hospital, and everything’s finally all right. It’s all thanks to Warren! Alicia is truly horrid. To think I previously felt grateful to her and thought she was a good person!”

Amelia lowered her gaze gently and said, “She is now detained at the detention center. The police said her crimes had been conclusively proven. If convicted, it’d be at least five years!”

“Five years is too merciful to her. A person like her should be sentenced to life. Otherwise, when she comes out, she might harm someone else!” Matilda cursed vehemently.

Amelia suddenly asked, “Mom, do you think it’s appropriate if I want to be with Warren?”

Matilda stopped cursing abruptly and stared at her daughter in disbelief. “W-What did you say?”

“I said, would it be all right if Warren and I get back together?” Amelia repeated.

“Do you want to start over with Warren?” Matilda asked hurriedly.

“Warren mentioned to me in the hospital that he wanted us to be a real couple, not just a superficial couple who married for the sake of the children.” Amelia took a deep breath and looked straight at her mother, who had accompanied her through many painful years. “Mom, I still 2/4 09:23 have feelings for Warren. I don’t know if these feelings have always been there, and I’ve merely ignored them, or they started recently, but I think I have him in my heart.”

Amelia opened up to her mother about her feelings.

Matilda said softly after hearing that, “Since you have him in your heart, and you have two children with him, it’s good to start over. You haven’t fallen in love with anyone for so many years. Maybe you’re destined to start over with him!”

“Mom, do you consent to it?” Amelia asked.

“Why wouldn’t I?” Matilda said. “I have seen how he has treated you over the years. If it truly was to atone for his sins, he had achieved that. I only hope that you can overcome your apprehension. Do you want to be with him?”

Matilda knew that her daughter’s biggest problem now was the pain Warren had previously caused her. “If Amelia truly wants to be with Warren, she must first overcome her fears and worries,” she thought.

Amelia pursed her lips and finally said after some time, “I want to be with him…”

Indeed, she wanted to be with Warren. She wished to take another gamble and see if she could truly be happy in this life.

She did not want to run away and regret it in the future.

“Perhaps, as Lillian said, I should give it a try, and if it still doesn’t work out, at least I won’t regret it in the future,” she thought.

Meanwhile, in Warren’s ward, Lydia looked at her son lying on the hospital bed and raged, “I can’t believe you. You kept such a major incident from me. If my friends in business hadn’t mentioned it to me, I would still be in the dark. Have you ever regarded me as your mother?”

“Mom, it’s just a minor injury,” Warren said hoarsely.

“A minor injury?” Lydia abruptly raised her voice. “Is this a minor injury? One of your ribs is broken, you have a head injury, and there are several slash wounds on your neck. You almost lost too much blood and couldn’t get off the operating table!”

“As the doctor said, most of them are superficial wounds, and I can be discharged after another week of stay,” Warren said. “I didn’t tell you 211 09:23 because I was afraid you might worry. See? Aren’t you worrying too much now?”

“Were you afraid that I would worry? Or that I would take it out on Amelia?” Lydia said. “Your injuries were all to save that woman.”

Before coming to the hospital, she had someone thoroughly investigate the entire sequence of events of her son getting hurt.
