    She did not have much time left, and she didn’t want to waste the limited time on getting treatment. She


    just wanted to spend more time with her mother and son. “I know. I’m mentally prepared. Please


    increase the dosage of painkillers for me. Lately, it has been hurting a little bit more sometimes,”


    Amelia said.


    The attending physician sighed. He understood Amelia’s choice, but what surprised him was Amelia’s


    calmness in facing death.


    He had seen many patients before. Once they knew they were nearing the end of their lives, they


    would always try their best to seize any possibility of continuing to live.


    Even those who had no money to get treatment would crack their heads asking for any way to prolong


    their lives, and they would be unwilling to ept the situation.


    Patients as calm as Amelia were extremely rare.


    However, such people often carried heavy pasts.


    “Okay, I’ll increase your dosage. However, this kind of medicine should not be taken inrge amounts.


    If you take too much, you will develop a greater resistance to it. Later, what could happen is that even if


    you increase your dosage, it might not help with the pain anymore and will even exacerbate the


    condition of the cancer,” the doctor said.

    “I understand. Thank you,” Amelia replied.


    After getting the medicine, Amelia was about to leave the hospital when she received a call from her


    mother. On the phone, her mother’s voice sounded very anxious. “Amelia, what should we do? Aiden…


    H-He was taken away by someone from the Fletcher family!”


    Amelia was stunned. “What did you say? The Fletcher family?”


    “Yes, the teacher of the kindergarten said that Aiden was picked up by someone from the Fletcher


    family. Irene came in person and said that she was Aiden’s stepmother and wanted to bring Aiden to


    see his daddy. The Fletcher family had alsoe to meet the head of the kindergarten, so the


    teachers couldn’t stop her,” Matilda said hurriedly.


    At this moment, Matilda was panicking.


    Amelia could onlyfort her, “Mom, don’t worry. I… I’ll go get Aiden.”


    “Okay! I hope Aiden is safe and sound! Why didn’t I pick him up earlier? If I had been there earlier,


    such a thing wouldn’t have happened,” Matilda kept ming herself.


    Afterforting her mother for a while, Amelia hurriedly ended the call. What mattered most at that


    moment was to find Aiden as soon as possible.

    09:53


    Just then, her phone rang again. It was a call from an unknown number.


    But when Amelia answered the call, she heard Irene’s voiceing from her phone. “Amelia, Aiden is


    with me now.”


    “What do you want to do with my son?” Amelia asked anxiously.


    “He is Warren’s son, and I will be his stepmother in the future. Of course, I need to build some rapport


    with him. If you want to see your son,e here yourself.”


    After saying that, Irene gave Amelia an address and the number of a private room.


    Amelia hesitated. If the Fletcher family really wanted to hurt Aiden, it was unlikely that they would


    choose such a ce.


    Amelia knew about that restaurant. She also knew that it was just an ordinary restaurant, not one that


    prominent figures liked to go to.


    “What does the Fletcher family want?” Amelia wondered. However, no matter what the answer of the


    Fletcher family was, she had to pick up Aiden at once. In any case, she was worried about Aiden being


    in the hands of the Fletcher family.


    As soon as Amelia finished the call, she rushed out of the hospital and took a taxi to the restaurant.


    When she arrived at the restaurant, Amelia came to Irene’s private room. As soon as she opened the


    door of the room, she saw Thomas, Ivy, Irene, and Aiden in the


    room.


    In addition, there were some people who looked like the subordinates of the Fletcher family. They stood


    at the side, looking intimidating.


    Aiden sat at the table, where many delicious food and toys were ced. However, he didn’t touch them


    but just sat quietly.


    When he saw Ameliaing in, a smile finally appeared on the little boy’s


    gloomy face. He quickly jumped out of the chair and ran to Amelia. “Mommy!”


    Amelia hugged her son and made sure that he wasn’t hurt before she felt relieved. “All right! I’m here!


    Let’s go.”


    “But they said they brought me here to wait for Daddy!” said Aiden in a low voice. It was also because


    he wanted to see his father that he had followed them here.


    Last time, he went to the amusement park with his father, but he fell asleep in the car. He ended up not


    saying goodbye to his father, which he regretted immensely. Amelia bit her lip slightly and said, “Would


    you like to see Daddy another time? Let’s go back first. Granny is very worried, as she didn’t see you at


    the kindergarten today earlier.”


    Hearing this, Aiden was also anxious. He nodded and decided to go back with Amélia first.


    Amelia held the boy’s hand, but before she reached the door of the private room,


    2/3


    09:53


    she was stopped by the two subordinates of the Fletcher family.


    Thomas’ voice sounded. “Amelia, since you are here, why do you have to leave so soon? In the future,


    Irene will marry Warren, and Aiden will be her stepson. Don’t you think you should thank Irene for


    forgiving the past?”


    Amelia’s footsteps halted. At this moment, the door of the private room was closed, and there were


    several strong men blocking her way. It would not be easy for her to forcefully make her way out of the


    room with a child.


    “Forgiving the past?” She sneered and turned to look at the people of the Fletcher family. “We all know


    what really happened back then. Why bother saying such hypocritical words?”


    “What are you talking about? Amelia, you pushed Irene down the stairs back then and caused her to


    lose her child. You are a murderer! Now that Irene wants to help you raise your son, you don’t even


    bother to apologize?” Ivy said unhappily.


    “My mommy is not a murderer. She is not a bad person!” Aiden, who had been quiet, suddenly shouted


    like an angry lion.


    However, no one from the Fletcher family paid attention to the little guy.


    Thomas just said mildly. “Today, you should apologize to Irene and to the Fletcher family!


    “Apologize Amelia thought, thinking it was ridiculous


    Warren had asked her to apologize to Irene before, and now, the Fletcher family is also asking her to


    apologize to Irene.


    She was previously willing to humbly apologize to Irene in order to satisfy her son’s wish to go to the


    amusement park with his parents. It didn’t mean that she was now also willing to apologize, especially


    in front of her son.


    It didn’t even matter if all the people around her agreed that she was guilty. She still wanted her son to


    understand that she was innocent and wronged.


    She didn’t want her son to think that he had a criminal for a mother and carry such heavy psychological


    burdens. So, no matter what, she couldn’t and shouldn’t apologize.


    “I won’t apologize because I have never hurt anyone!” Amelia uttered firmly. Her slim and thin figure


    stood tall as if showing her innocence to her son.
