Chapter 642: Extra Neen: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Seventeen)


    Amelia Smith was already somewhat weak. After waking up and crying for a while, she fell asleep again.


    When she woke up again, it was already past noon.


    “Awake?” William Lane touched her face.


    Amelia’s eyes were a bit dry due to crying before falling asleep. She blinked, “Have you been here the whole time?”


    “Mm.”


    “How about thepany and the research institute?” Amelia raised her left hand and touched her eyes. The IV needle had already been removed.


    “They’re okay.” William Lane said, “Roy Madison and Harton rk are at the research institute. My father is handling thepany, and if he doesn’t want to, L Campbell can help as well.”


    “Miss Lane is really busy.” Ameliamented.


    William Lane smiled, “Do you want to eat something?”


    “Yes,” Amelia said, “I’m a bit hungry now.”


    William Lane sent a message to order food: “I’ve asked someone to buy it. Wait for a while.”


    The food arrived quickly. Since Amelia had not eaten in a long time, they bought easily digestible meals.


    The small table was set up on the bed, and Amelia sat up with her left hand holding a spoon, ready to eat some porridge.


    Yet, her spoon was soon taken away by William Lane, as was the porridge.


    William Lane scooped some porridge, blew on it, and brought it to her lips.


    Amelia looked at him and slowly pursed her lips.


    “What’s wrong? Do you think the porridge I’m feeding you is poisoned?” William Lane asked.


    Amelia nced at him and then at the porridge, “What if it is?”


    William Lane was speechless, staring at her.


    Amelia smiled, “I’ll eat by myself.”


    “Hmph, no way.” William Lane said coldly and forcefully, “Open your mouth.”


    With no other choice, Amelia obediently opened her mouth.


    Young Master Lane was pleased after feeding her the porridge.


    After eating a small bowl of porridge, Amelia couldn’t eat any more. William Lane tidied up and put away the food, lowered the small table, and poured her a ss of water.


    Amelia held the ss in her left hand and took small sips, “Aren’t you eating?”


    “In a while.” William Lane took out a small hairband from nowhere, “First, let me tie your hair.”


    “Is it very messy?” Amelia asked.


    “Not too messy.” William Lane said, “Just the normal mess.”


    Amelia: “……”


    Seeing her dazed appearance, William Lane leaned down and kissed her lips, “It’s a bit messy, but it doesn’t affect your beauty.”


    Amelia ignored that, with her eyes downcast and her ears red, staying quiet as hebed her hair.


    William Lane finished the braid for her. His technique was very skillful, and the result was beautiful.


    Amelia touched it, “Elder Brother, how do you know how to do everything?”


    “Because I have two sisters at home who need to look beautiful every day.” William Lane adjusted her loose hair on the forehead and kissed her brow, “I used to tie their hair when they were young.”


    “It’s great to have a brother like you.”


    William Lane sat down and raised his eyebrows, “It’s also great to have a husband like me.”


    Amelia blinked her doe eyes, trying to pretend to be calm after hearing his words but failing after two seconds.


    She hastily looked away, not knowing where to fix her gaze.


    ncing at the entrance, she saw half a head poking out from the right side of the ss door, as if eavesdropping.


    Amelia quickly pulled William Lane’s arm with her left hand.


    “What’s the matter?” William Lane had just taken a bite of food.


    “There’s someone at the entrance.” Amelia said.


    William Lane was puzzled and immediately got up to walk towards the entrance.


    As he opened the door, he first startled Olivia Lane, who had been eavesdropping at the doorway.


    Then he saw Olivia Lane behind Hugo rk, and Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk on the other side of the door.


    William Lane looked at the four of them: “……”


    Olivia Lane was holding a bunch of flowers, and when she saw William Lane, she grinned, “Brother. We came to see our sister-inw.”


    William Lane gently tapped her forehead: “Nope.”


    “Why are you so stingy? We can’t even take a look.” Olivia Lane said and then crawled under his arm into the ward.


    Hugo rkughed a little.


    William Lane red at him.


    Hugo rk: “…….”


    Charlotte Lane walked into the ward from the other side of William Lane.


    Kevin rk…watched the interaction between William Lane and Hugo rk.


    In the end, William Lane entered the room, and Kevin rk still teased Hugo rk mercilessly.


    Hugo rk felt a lump in his chest.


    Inside the ward, Olivia Lane put the flowers on the bedside table, then pulled up a chair and squeezed beside the bed, resting her elbows on it. She put her hands on her face and looked at Amelia Smith with a beaming smile, “Sister-inw, I am Olivia Lane. You can just call me Olivia.”


    Amelia Smith looked at her, left hand rubbing the quilt, “Nice to meet you.”


    Charlotte Lane stood behind Olivia Lane, put her hand on Olivia’s forehead, and tilted her head back, “This makes you look like you have a low IQ.”


    “How can that be?” Olivia Lane looked up at Charlotte Lane, “I’m very smart.”


    Charlotte Laneughed lightly then looked at Amelia Smith, “What did the doctor say?”


    ” Just a mild concussion, I’ll be discharged from the hospital in two days,” Amelia Smith said, “Thank you, Miss Lane, for making the trip.”


    “Just call me Charlotte,” Charlotte Lane touched Olivia’s face, “We are family, no need to be so polite.”


    Olivia Lane watched Amelia Smith nod agreement.


    Amelia felt a little embarrassed by Olivia’s stare and her face started to turn red.


    Just then, William walked over and immediately covered Olivia’s eyes, “What are you doing? I already said you can’t look.”


    Olivia Lane held William Lane’s wrist, “Brother, when did you be so stingy? Our sister-inw is much more generous than you.”


    Amelia Smith and William Lane exchanged a nce, then quickly looked down.


    Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows, a faint smile in her eyes.


    “Sister-inw, can you control my brother? He’s bullying me.” Olivia Lane cried out.


    “No wonder you found a backer.” William Lane let her go.


    Olivia Lane moved closer to the bed, gently holding Amelia Smith’s right hand. Her mission today was to help her brother woo a wife and let her feel the kindness of the Lane family, “One of my many strengths is knowing how to cling to powerful figures.”


    “You’re quite pleased with yourself.” William Lane said.


    Amelia Smith felt the warmth in her hand, her trembling eyshes hinting at the warmth in her heart.


    However, with the arrival of Kevin rk and Hugo rk, her warmth was immediately reced by nervousness.


    Hugo rk was not a very expressive person and rarely smiled.


    Kevin rk had an intimidating appearance. Except when looking at Charlotte Lane tenderly, he seemed very distant when looking at others.


    Noble and unapproachable, his aura was overwhelming.


    William Lane introduced him.


    Amelia Smith greeted them nervously, “Third Master, Young Master rk.”


    William Lane sat on the other side of the bed and touched Amelia’s head, “No need to be so polite with them. This one is my brother-inw.”


    Kevin rk, considering that Amelia Smith was present, saved face for William Lane.


    “As for him…” William Lane looked at Hugo rk, “He’s my enemy.”


    Hugo rk: “……”


    Olivia Lane ignored them and yed with Amelia Smith’s hand.


    Charlotte Lane and Kevin rk both smiled slightly.


    Amelia Smith’s eyes circled around, observing their reactions. She then looked at Olivia Lane.


    Olivia Lane met her gaze with a pitiable and helpless look.


    Amelia Smith smiled at her sympathetically.
