Chapter 1194
The two sat down. While having dinner, Amelia couldn’t help but ask, “Well… I have a novel… Is it
with you?”
“Novel? Do you mean ‘Love You With the Rest of My Life’?” Warren said.
“Yeah…” Amelia answered. “He even remembers the book title, huh?” she mused.
“It’s with me,” he uttered. “But I’m surprised you like such books again. I only remember you liked
this kind of book when we were in love.”
Amelia’s face contorted in embarrassment. She, too, didn’t expect that he would take her book
away. “It’s just to kill time. I’m pregnant, after all. It’s better to stay away from electronic devices.”
“Is the book interesting?” he asked abruptly.
“Not bad,” she said. She figured the novel should be good since it was on the bestselling list and
was published physically, too.

“But don’t you think the two characters in the book are wasting each other’s time? Staying by a
vegetative person for 20 years and wasting 20 years of youth, and even though the other party
wakes up in the end, they’ve both turned old,” Warren articted nonchntly. “Instead of wasting
her feelings on a vegetative person, isn’t it more practical to find a new love instead?”
Amelia stared at the man in front of her. “Love is never amodity. It has nothing to do with
practicality. The female lead willingly stayed by the male lead’s side because of love.”
“Really? Willingly? I think the female lead is overwhelmed with guilt instead! It seems like she thinks
she’s the cause of why the male lead bes a vegetable, and that’s why she’s been weighed
down by remorse,” he exined.
“It’s not guilt. If it’s because of that, why would she wipe his body so gently every day for 20 years?
And why would she roll him around and apply medicine for him? Why would she be willing to do
those dirty and tiring tasks herself? If all she feels toward him is guilt, why didn’t she choose the
easy way and find him a caregiver?” she retorted.
“The writer probably has the same mentality as you, and that’s why he chooses to pen it into a love
story,” answered Warren. “Isn’t it stupid to bet

your life on whether another person will wake up?”
“Do you really think that’s stupid?” Amelia fixed her gaze on the man intently.
“Didn’t this man once bet his life for a chance, too? A chance that I’d forgive him?” she thought. At
that time, even though she repeatedly told him that she would never love him again, he still refused
to give up.
At first, she assumed he was acting out of regret and guilt.
It waster she realized that he had done that out of love. He was willing to love her with his life.
Sadly, though, the current Warren could never love her like that again…
“Don’t you think it’s stupid?” he countered with a hint of amusement.
Her gaze dimmed. “Maybe… it’s stupid indeed.”
“All right. I’ve brought the book back and will return it to youter. But it’s better not to read such
books while you’re pregnant. I’ll buy you some books suitable for prenatal educationter on.” After
saying that, Warren lowered his head and continued eating.
Amelia looked at Warren for some time before she said, “Do you no longer believe in love?”
Those words slipped out of her mouth out of instinct. Even she didn’t know why she would ask that
question.
“This is not the question you should ask.” He raised his eyes and stared at her coldly.
In an instant, her heart suddenly trembled.
“Yeah, I should’ve known better. Some things are no longer like before… she reflected.
Rosalie called Amelia and told her that Alicia’s trial was scheduled for three dayster.
“Have you talked it out with Warren?” Rosalie asked. She wanted to ensure that there were no
mistakes on the day itself so that Alicia wouldn’t have the chance to catch on.
“Yeah, he agreed to cooperate,” Amelia replied.
“That’s great. I’ll take care of the rest. You two just have to try your best to act like your usual selves
on the day itself,” said Rosalie.
“Okay,” Amelia answered.
“I’ll find out about Riley’s whereabouts after the trial three dayster. Riley… Riley… I must find
Riley no matter what!” she thought to herself.
That night, Amelia looked at Warren and said, “Rosalie says Alicia’s trial is in three days. When the
timees…

“I got it. I will do what I promised you,” he said.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
He nced at her. “You care so much about Riley because she once helped you in prison?”
“Yes,” she voiced. “It’s easy to have many friends in this world, but how many of them would
actually send help in the hour of need?”
“So, you’re willing to endure the humiliation, beg me, and even sacrifice your dignity just for Riley?”
he asked.
Amelia’s eyshes quivered slightly as she lowered her eyes. “Because Riley saved both my life
and Aiden’s.”
“So, if I helped you find out the truth back then instead of watching you go to prison unjustly, would
you-” Warren stopped speaking abruptly.
He nearly blurted out what he had in his mind. He almost wanted to ask if she would love him
deeply and actually forgive him if she found outter that he had deliberately approached her for
revenge.
“Forget it. It’s pointless to talk about it now.” Warren turned around and walked into the bedroom.
Amelia smiled bitterly and murmured to herself, “Yeah, it’s pointless to talk about it now.”
Three dayster, Alicia’s trial proceeded as scheduled.
Alicia was initially afraid that news reporters or such would flock to the scene, but surprisingly, the
streets were deserted throughout the journey to the court.
On second thought, however, she reckoned it was not that surprising. When news of the incident
came out back then, they were all being
covered up and barely being reported. Even asional reports rted to the incident were being
taken down as well.
Natúrally, she supposed it was perfectly normal that there were no news reporters.
Of course, at the same time, that was the best for her.
As she stepped into the courtroom, she spotted Jasper.
Jasper looked very different from the way Alicia first saw him.
Deep down, Alicia despised him to the core. She believed it was his ipetency thatnded her
in this predicament.
Since the trial this time was not opened to the public, there were no irrelevant people.
In the midst of it, Alicia turned to look at Rosalie, the defensewyer who was defending her.
“The wife of the famous Mr. Youngblood in Strico and also a good friend of Amelia, huh?” she
pondered.
-When Rosalie visited Alicia in person at the detention center, saying that she would be her defense
lawyer, thetter was beyond shock. She had never imagined that the defensewyer Amelia hired
for her would actually be Jonathan’s wife.
