Chapter 1148


    He stared at her with deep, dark eyes as if it was love at first sight.


    Stunned, Amelia hurriedly sat up and said to Warren with a slightly flushed face, “I-I’ll go back to my


    ward first. You should rest.”


    With that, she hurried out of bed and left.


    Warren’s eyes followed Amelia until she was out of sight before he lowered his gaze and stared at


    his hands.


    His hands were still wrapped in gauze. Although he was scarred all over, his heart was full of joy.


    Last night, shey beside him and fell asleep. He had been hoping for this to happen for a long


    time.


    Even if it was just her sympathy, he cherished it.


    He even kept his eyes peeled on her after she fell asleep for fear that she would disappear once he


    closed his eyes.


    Initially, he had told himself not to expect anything else. He would be content as long as he could


    protect her behind the scenes and let her live her life for as long as he lived.


    As Warren reflected on the possibilities, hope began to sprout heart, especially after seeing the


    blush on Amelia’s face earlie


    “But… Can I really hope for this to happen?”


    His yearning for her grew stronger, and he couldn’t help but won just maybe, Amelia harbored some


    feelings for him, even if they w small.


    “Amelia… can you please give me another chance? Just one more time. This time, I won’t fail you,”


    he silently implored.


    All he wanted was one more chance from her.


    Amelia rushed back to her ward next door and entered the bathroom.


    The mirror over the sink reflected her slightly panicked expression, and her flushed cheeks seemed


    to be trying to tell her something.


    Amelia took a deep breath, quickly grabbed a towel, and began to wash her face.

    What hade over her? She had unconsciously slept in Warren’s bed, and now she was filled


    with panic and uncertainty.


    Amélia’s panic wasn’t solely because she had spent the night in Warren’s ward; there were other


    reasons contributing to her anxiety. She ced her hand over her heart and felt the palpitations,


    which were much stronger than usual.


    Warren had taken steps to negotiate with the police to keep the news of her kidnapping under


    wraps, preventing it from making headlines.

    The police had also visited Amelia at the hospital to gather her statement.


    Through this process, Amelia learned the details of the incident. Jasper had confessed to


    everything, including Alicia’s involvement.


    She had lost consciousness in the car due to aa-induced fragrance concealed in the pouch


    Alicia had given her. In a confined space, the effects of the fragrance had been particrly potent.


    This exined why Alicia had given her the charm and then left her alone in the car.


    Amelia hadn’t been surprised by Alicia’s involvement, as she had considered this possibility before.


    However, learning this from the police still left her feeling disappointed.


    After all, it was unsettling to see someone who had once helped her now turn against her. Such a


    drastic change in a person’s behavior could be emotionally challenging.


    During this time, Matilda made a daily visit to see her after picking up Aiden from school, often


    bringing her food.


    Warren’s dietary options were limited to liquid food due to his neck injury, and the hospital provided


    specially prepared meals for him, so Matilda didn’t have to prepare additional food.


    On the third day, when Warren could leave his bed and move around, he frequently visited Amelia’s


    ward. He would watch her eat and


    Amelia knew signnguage from her experience with Aiden.
