Chapter 1204
“Warren, I… want to save Riley!” Amelia said.
“Just because she asked you to save her? So, you think she is normal without any mental issues?”
Warren asked.
“Even if she is really mentally ill, she should not be abused. Previously, we personally witnessed
how those caregivers and her sister treated her! Her sister is not qualified to be her guardian at all!”
Amelia argued.
“At present, if you want to divest her sister of her guardianship, there must be evidence that she
committed abuse. But if it is transferred, it will fall into the hands of either her father or stepmother.
Do you think they really have no idea about the torment she’s suffering in the psychiatric hospital?”
Warren countered.
“There is another way. Riley is sane in the first ce and has no mental issues. We can have her
undergo another psychiatric evaluation to prove that she is normal!” Amelia suggested. Then, Riley
naturally wouldn’t need a guardian, and she could take her out of the psychiatric hospital.
“She has been in the psychiatric hospital for many years. Even if she were normal, after having
been locked up in such a ce and receiving so-called psychiatric treatment for so long, she might
have developed mental issues. Do you really think she’s still normal?” Warren contended.
For a moment, Amelia was left without a retort. Indeed, even a sane person would have been
tortured to insanity after so many years.
However, when Riley pleaded for help in the end, it made her feel that she was sane.
“Therefore, things are not as simple as you think. If we were to have her undergo another
psychiatric evaluation, the Summer family would be alerted. If they refuse to agree to it, we won’t be
able to do anything about it unless we forcibly take her away from the psychiatric hospital and go to
another authorized institution for a psychiatric evaluation. I could get you in there because I know
some people in the psychiatric hospital, including Mr. Wilson. But if what I want to do next is
something that would tarnish the psychiatric hospital’s reputation, do you think these contacts of
mine will help me?” Warren continued.
Amelia remained silent, for she undoubtedly understood what he meant.
If Riley were proven to be in her right mind after another psychiatric

evaluation, the psychiatric hospital would definitely be in trouble after keeping her locked up there
for so many years. It might even implicate many people. Naturally, those affiliated with the
psychiatric hospital wouldn’t want their patients going somewhere else for another psychiatric
evaluation.
A long whileter, Amelia said, “What if we were to take her out by force for another psychiatric
evaluation?”
“If Riley turned out to be sane, it would be fine even if she were taken away by force. But what if she
were found to be mentally ill? Then, it wouldn’t only involve apologies. We might even be detained
and sentenced,” Warren warned.
Amelia trembled. “If so, what should I do about Riley?” she wondered.
“What if I take the responsibility? I’ll im that everything was done under my orders. Can you take
her out for a psychiatric evaluation first?” Amelia ventured. No matter what, she wanted to take a
gamble, staking her bets on Riley being of sound mind.
Perhaps that was the only way to truly save Riley.
“You take the responsibility?” Warren snorted coldly. “Are you nning to be detained while
pregnant? Or do you want to see the headlines reporting the wife of York Group’s chairman
breaking thew and forcibly taking a mental patient out of the psychiatric hospital? Don’t forget that
we are still married. Your words and deeds do not only represent you yourself but also the York
family!”
Amelia bit her lower lip hard, the words stuck in her throat.
The next day, Rosalie gave Amelia some information on Riley that she found from her investigation.
Mainly, it was about the rtionship between Riley and Zephyr. Back then, Zephyr fell in love with
Riley at first sight. He pursued her for a year, and theyter officially dated. But on the eve of their
wedding, Zephyr wanted to call things off. Meanwhile, a good friend of his had a car ident with
Riley. At that time, both of them were in the car, and the man died protecting Riley.
After that, Riley was said to suffer from mental issues and was sent to a psychiatric hospital.
Zephyr, on the other hand, married Harriet.
Looking at the documents in her hand, Amelia was stunned. “Why didn’t Nichs Griffin’s name
appear in the previous information?”
09:06
After all, from the current information, it seemed that Nichs had an intricate rtionship with
Riley and Zephyr.
“The Griffin, Scott, and Summer familles are all prominent families in Lommore. It would be
scandalous that the heir of the Griffin family died protecting his good friend’s fiancée. Furthermore,
there were rumors before the car ident that Riley and Nichs had an ambiguous rtionship.
For that reason, the three families worked together to suppress the news at that time. Besides the
police records, outsiders have no idea that the person in the car with Nichs back then was Riley,”
Rosalie exined.
“Does the Griffin family have anything to do with Riley being sent to a psychiatric hospital?” Amelia
asked. It seemed that things were moreplicated than she had thought.
“I’m not sure about that. Then, there’s Zephyr. I don’t know his involvement in this matter.” Rosalie
murmured after pondering for a while. “It could be said that when the car ident happened back
then, Riley’s existence became a stain on the Summer, Scott family, and Griffin families. Making
Riley ‘disappear’ from public view became the best choice.”
Amelia felt that there was a mystery before her while she was
approaching the mystery bit by bit.
“At that time, Riley probably loved Zephyr very much,” Amelia remarked out of the blue.
“You know of him?” Rosalie eximed, a touch surprised.
In response, Amelia shook her head. “I didn’t know of the name Zephyr at that time. I only knew
there was someone she loved greatly. She said she would be marrying him. She also hoped to be a
mother and give birth to their child. ording to the timeline now, that person should be Zephyr.”
“But if Zephyr were also implicit in sending Riley to the psychiatric hospital, that would be a
devastating blow to her. She was sent to a psychiatric hospital by the person she loved most, just
like she was sent to prison by Warren back then,” shemented inwardly.
Aloud, Amelia said, “I… want to go and meet Zephyr. I want to meet this person Riley fell in love
with and feel him out if he also truly thinks that Riley is mentally unstable.”

“I’ll go with you, then?” Rosalie offered.
Before Amelia could respond to that, Warren had returned at some time. Stepping forward, he
interjected, “I’ll go with her. I’ll make up a pretext of discussing business. At least, it’ll be more
justifiable.”
Hearing that, Rosalie nodded and replied, “That’s good. It won’t arouse suspicion so easily.”
