Chapter 1562
When Love Comes Late
Neville stopped what he was doing and put his phone away.
âWhatâs going on?â
Kassidy just shook her head.
âIâm not sure.
Letâs head back to Seamarsh.
â
Without a word, Neville found the first flight back to Seamarsh.
The moment they landed, he went straight for the hospital.
As soon as Amya spotted Neville, tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Seeing Bertha unconscious, Nevilleâs face fell with concern.
He guided Amya to sit on the couch, trying to soothe her.
Between sobs, Amya said, âThe doctor says your grandmaâs had a heart failure.
Heâs not sure when sheâll come around.
â
Nevilleâs forehead creased with worry.
âGrandmaâs always been healthy, right? What happened?â
Amya dried her eyes and recounted everything.
She ended with, âBy the time we reached your grandma again, she was already in the hospital.
â
The mention of Miley made Neville anxious.
âHowâs Miley? Is she alright?â
Amya shot him a look, mixed with a bit of anger.
Her tone colder, she said, âSheâs fine.
Sheâs gone home.
â
âThatâs good.
â Neville released a sigh of relief.
This, however, only seemed to irritate Amya further.
She told him in a frosty tone, âKeep your distance from Miley.
Just think about it.
She and your grandma were kidnapped together, but in the end, Miley brought your grandma back unscathed while your grandma ended up in a coma.
How do you explain that?â
Nevilleâs brow creased a bit.
Aware of Amyaâs dislike for Miley, he replied, âItâs not fair to pin this on Miley.
Grandma is elderly, and the ordeal was too much for her.
â
âYou.
â
Amya tried to argue back, but Neville cut her off.
âIâve made a deal with Mr.
Jones.
Iâm counting on you to stick to your word and acceptMiley.
â
Amya was livid, yet she refrained from starting a fight over Miley, whom she saw as an outsider.
In a calmer voice, she said, âYour grandma is still unconscious.
I donât have the energy to talk about this now.
â
Neville didnât wish to prolong the disagreement.
He got up, his mind made up, and said, âIâll do whatever it takes to find a cure for Grandma.
But right now, I need to see Miley.
â
At Prosper Bay, Miley wasnât sure how long she had been asleep.
ALL she knew was she felt refreshed and comfortable after waking up.
Opening her eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling, she initially felt a shock but quickly got up.
Her gaze then met with Stellaâs worried look.
The events of the previous night flooded back to Miley.
She had come to Stellaâs place after leaving the hospital.
