Chapter 711


    Eleanor was relieved, as she subconsciously relied on Amelia Winters very much.


    “You''re saying the truth, right, Lia?”


    Amelia Winters nodded.


    Seeing her response, Eleanor smiled. “It''s good that you''re apanying me for a few more days, Lia.


    I''m reluctant to part with you.”


    “Don''t worry about it, Mom. All of us are very worried about you. We''ll be at ease as long as you''re


    fine.”


    Eleanor''s mood lifted after she heard that.

    Even since Eleanor was hospitalized, Amelia Winters had been paying extra attention to the former''s


    diet and tried to make some nutritious food to help the former recover. Although that did not help much,


    she still wanted Eleanor to eat well and live afortable life.


    Amelia Hutton and Sean could never be as meticulous as her. As for Benjamin, despite keeping silent


    most of the time, he had witnessed everything she had done for Eleanor.


    With that, he finally began to see Amelia Winters in a new light. He followed her out when she went to


    fetch some water.


    “Do you need something, Mr. Hutton?” she asked.


    Even after being acknowledged by Benjamin, Amelia Winters still did not call him “Dad.”


    Benjamin gazed at her with a conflicted look. His lips twitched as he uttered with difficulty, “Do you hate


    us, Amelia?”


    Amelia froze momentarily before replying with a carefree smile, “I''d be lying if I denied it. However,


    perhaps because I''ve never lived with you all, so the hatred isn''t as intense as I''d imagined. Even after


    learning that you''re my father, I still don''t have much affection for you and only regard you as a


    somewhat familiar stranger. So there is still love and hate, only much milder.”


    A glint shed across Benjamin''s hazy eyes when he heard that. He did not expect Amelia to be so


    open-minded in certain matters.


    Her frankness made him think that his persistence over the past twenty years seemed so ridiculous. I


    can''t believe I can''t be as open-minded as someone much younger than me.


    “Mr. Hutton, you didn''te to me just to tell me this, did you?” Amelia cocked her head to the side


    and looked at Benjamin curiously. She could not figure out the reason behind the sudden change in his


    attitude.


    “Thank you,” Benjamin suddenly uttered.


    Amelia was baffled.


    “Why are you thanking me?”


    However, he merely threw her a nce before he turned around and left.


    This made Amelia even more confused.


    She felt that the Huttons were quite strange. Although they look peaceful on the surface, everyone


    seems to be intentionally or unintentionally putting up their guard against me.


    Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone ringing. She took it out and noticed that the caller was


    Tiffany.


    She answered the call. “Tiff.”


    “Derrick and I are currently in Saspiuburg, Babe. Which hospital are you at?” Tiffany asked


    straightforwardly.


    Amelia figured that her best friend had probably learned about Eleanor''s illness from someone, so she


    had purposelye over with Derrick to visit her.


    “I''m on the eighth floor of Saspiuburg''s Principal General Hospital. Come over now,” Amelia replied.


    She did not bother to ask Tiffany why she had not called her in advance.


    “All right.”


    After hanging up the phone, Amelia picked up the kettle and returned to the ward. Eleanor had fallen


    asleep again, and aside from Sean, there was no one else in the room.


    “Where is everyone else, Sean?”


    “Amelia left after taking a call. She probably went to chat with her friend. As for Dad, he had to go back


    to thepany to work, so I''m the only one left.”


    Hearing that, Amelia Winters chuckled.


    “Sean, I think you are also pretty funny, and your temperament is quite different from Amelia''s.”


    “Only you think that I''m humorous, Amy. Thepany employees all say that I constantly keep a poker


    face that is even scarier than my dad''s,” Sean deliberately replied with an exaggerated expression.


    Amelia could not help but giggle at that.


    “It''s not a bad thing to appear stern during working hours. Wearing a yful smile when you work will


    make it harder for you to control your employees, and they may also question your abilities.” She


    smiled before adding, “You never mix up your working and private lives, and that''s good. I think Mr.


    Hutton will soon leave thepany in your care. After all, you''re a very capable person.”


    “This is your first timeplimenting me. Previously, I thought about getting close to you to use the


    Clinton family that was backing you to deal with Dad so that I could seize thepany''s management


    rights from him. I was afraid that he would foolishly hand over thepany to a woman who wasn''t


    part of our family someday. However, it turns out that I was being a little childish. Dad loves Mom so


    much. How could he ever do that?” Sean said with augh.


    Amelia nodded in agreement.


    She could not deny that Benjamin genuinely loved Eleanor. Although he was a man of few words and


    asionally put on a cold expression, he took care of Eleanor almost every night. As long as it was


    something he could do by himself, he would not leave it to others. He had also handed over most of the


    company affairs to Sean.


    “There''s no bad blood between father and son. There is no way he would hand over thepany to an


    outsider instead of you. Your father loves Mom so much. How would he allow her son to get the shorter


    end of the stick?” Amelia remarked.


    “You''ve said that Dad loves Mom, so when will you be willing to call him ''Dad''?”


    Amelia fell silent.


    Sean did not press on but thoughtfully changed the subject, picking some light-hearted jokes to tease


    her until she kept bursting intoughter.
