Chapter 1578 Amelia’s hug
Ste stopped wiping the clothes and paused for a moment.
“He’s still on the ind,” she replied, but couldn’t bring herself to tell James that she had shot Erin. It
was like something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from saying a word.
James stood outside the operating room with his hands in his pockets. After a moment, he coldly
ordered the bodyguard, “Go to the ind and bring him back.”
Upon hearing this, Ste’s tense body gradually rxed. Bringing Erin back, whether to hand him over
to the police or whatever, they would first treat Erin. That way, he would be safe and she could finally
be rid of him.
“Ste!”
At the sound of Amelia’s voice, James turned and saw Paul, Amelia, and Eva rushing towards them.
As he saw the three of them, his brows furrowed. Amelia hadn’t slept since she found out Ste had
been kidnapped. She had traveled to another country and now wanted toe to Panama.
James was worried about Amelia’s health, so he hade to Panama alone while she met up with
Eva. He had instructed Paul to take care of them, but who would have thought that he would bring
them along.
Paul fell a shiver down his spine as he received James’ cold gaze. In his clear eyes, there was a hint of
innocence and helplessness.
Why did he have to listen to women? Besides, it wasn’t too much for Amelia to be worried about her
best friend ande along. His brother was being too strict, wasn’t he?
Paul inwardlyined about James while putting on a pleasing smile and walking towards him.
“James, did you catch that bastard Erin?”.
James ignored him and turned his gaze to Amelia, who had already reached Ste. “If anything
happens to her on your way here, I’ll hold you responsible.”
Paul rolled his eyes at him in his mind. “With my skills, can’t I protect Amelia?” he thought.
James seemed to think of something and his expression darkened. “Just make sure you can protect
her,” he said in a softer tone.
Paul didn’t understand and furrowed his brows. “James, what do you mean?”
James didn’t answer anymore. Ilis indifferent eyes softened as they rested on Amelia’s worried face.
On their way to Ste, Paul had told Amelia and Eva about her situation. Now, seeing Ste sitting in
the chair covered in blood, their hearts clenched tightly.
They squatted down next to Ste and checked her up and down, relieved to find that she wasn’t
injured.
Amelia looked at Ste for a few seconds, then straightened up and hugged her tenderly. “Ste, it’s
okay, we found you…”
Ste’s restrained emotions suddenly overwhelmed her as she saw them. Her eyes reddened, as if she
had seen her own family, and she couldn’t help but reach out and hug Amelia back.
She didn’t say anything, just quietly leaned against Amelia’s embrace, while her other hand held Eva’s.
“Thank you both…”
Dealing with Erin wasn’t easy, yet they managed to find her location in such a short time. This meant
that they had put in a great deal of effort in terms of manpower, resources, and finances.
Ste felt insignificant, but the fact that so many people cared about her made her think that maybe her
existence had meaning.

“Ste, you’re family to us, no need to thank us.’
Amelia gently patted her back, her actions gentle, her words warm, warming Ste’s heart. She
couldn’t control herself and hugged Amelia tightly once again.
Like grabbing a lifeline, Ste held onto her desperately, finding
redemption in that moment, despite her physical and mental exhaustion.
Eva, like an older sister, brushed the messy hair from Ste’s face and tucked it behind her ear, her
movements gentle, not disturbing the tranquility of the moment.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but Ste’s anxious heart gradually eased with Amelia’s
hug and Eva’s gesture, and she no longer felt frantic.
Seeing her emotions expressed and her expression returning to calm, Amelia finally took Ste to
clean up the blood stains, while Eva went to buy new towels and clothes.
