Chapter 1044
“It’s not that bad. Just slightly painful. You can drive first. I want to go back as soon as possible,” Amelia said.
Warren’s face darkened, and he started the car again.
However, when the car stopped again, Amelia found that Warren had not driven to her concession stand. Instead, he directly parked the car at the hospital entrance.
“I don’t need to go to the hospital. I just need—” Before Amelia could finish her words, Warren hurriedly carried Amelia out of the car and walked quickly to the emergency room. Then, he asked to see a doctor in a hurry.
Warren even called someone, and through his connection, asked the liver specialist at the hospital to go to the emergency room and check on Amelia. It was as if her condition was very critical at that time.
After the doctors examined Amelia, they said that her pain was just some normal pain that would occasionally occur after a liver transplant. The pain could only be relieved by drugs.
Moreover, they said that the pain would gradually disappear after some time.
Once Warren knew the result of the examination, he did not feel embarrassed for making a mountain out of a molehill. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Do you have any painkillers at home?” Warren asked.
“Yes, but I didn’t bring the pills with me today,” Amelia replied.
“Is the pain frequent?”
“Not really.”
Warren raised his hand and gently pressed his palm on the area where Amelia’s liver was located. Amelia stiffened and subconsciously tried to put some distance between them. The problem was that she was lying on a temporary bed in the emergency room, so there was no place to retreat at all.
Then, Warren spoke as if he felt very grateful. “Fortunately, your body didn’t reject my liver. Sometimes I even wonder whether this is the

reason for me to be alive.”
He was alive because a part of his body was able to help her continue her life.
Amelia frowned. “What do you want, Warren?”
“Don’t you know what I want?” Warren stared at the person in front of him and added, “Back then, your bone marrow saved my life, Amelia. Now, part of my liver is in your body. Thus, our flesh and blood have long been inseparable. It’s impossible for us to dissociate ourselves from each other.”
She trembled slightly as his body gradually leaned forward. His austere-looking face was getting closer and closer to her.
However, at that moment, his face was not as indifferent as usual. Instead, there was a hint of him begging.
“Your body doesn’t reject my liver, Amelia. So, can you… not refuse me as well? Maybe there’s another chance for us.”
He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life.
“There is no other chance for us. It’s already the best for both of us not to have anything to do with each other, Warren,” Amelia responded.
Warren’s face suddenly turned extremely pale.
At that moment, Amelia’s phone rang. She immediately took out her phone and found that the call was from Matilda.
“Why haven’t you come back yet, Amelia? Have you found Nadine?” Matilda’s anxious voice was heard.
“Oh, yes. Someone found her and brought her to the police station. Lucas has already taken Nadine home. I’m coming home now as well,” Amelia replied in a hurry.
“I’m glad she has been found. I’m really glad,” Matilda repeated.
After ending the call, Amelia quickly got out of the hospital bed and packed her things. “I need to go back.” Then, she hurriedly ran out of the
emergency room.
Warren seemed to have suddenly come to his senses. He chased after her and said, “I brought you out today, so I should be the one to send you home.”

The car headed for the concession stand, and the two of them did not talk during the journey.
Once the car stopped at the entrance of the concession stand, Amelia opened the door and prepared herself to get out of the car
“I don’t believe that the best thing is for us not to have anything to do with each other anymore, Amelia. Since you chose to give birth to Aiden, there will always be something between us forever,” Warren muttered in a low voice.
Amelia lowered her head and got out of the car without saying anything.
It was not until her figure entered the concession stand that he smiled bitterly and started the car to leave.
As soon as Matilda saw Amelia coming back, the former hurriedly asked, “Warren… didn’t do anything to you, right?” After all, Amelia went out with Warren.
“No, he just helped to find Nadine,” Amelia said.
At night, Amelia pulled Aiden to stand in front of her and said, “Do you want to continue learning boxing? Or do you want to see the kind of fight that was more practical like the one that your father took you to see last time?”
Aiden was stunned. As he was about to answer, Amelia added, “You’d better think carefully before you answer. You’re now nine years old. In a few days, you will be ten years old. There are some things that will impact your future. I want you to make your own decisions.”
After a pause, she gently stroked Aiden’s head. “If you want to learn that kind of fighting skills, it’s fine even if it was your father who arranged it for you. You can tell me. I know that you don’t like your father, but I don’t want the past between me and him to affect you.”
Aiden was silent. He was born smart. Thus, even though no one told him about the past between his parents, he still knew something about it.
He also understood that Amelia was telling him to make a decision right at that moment.
Thus, he thought, ‘If I continue with boxing, I don’t need to have anything to do with my father anymore.
If I were to choose the other option, then I’d definitely have to see him

again… Deep down, I don’t want to admit that the man who hurt Mommy before is my father.
However, I cannot change family bonds just because I want to.
Since I can’t change it anyway… I’ll make myself stronger. I want to make myself strong enough so that no one can hurt Mommy again in the future. Moreover, I don’t want to get hurt as well because it will make Mommy sad.’
Thinking of this, Aiden took a deep breath and said to Amelia, “I want to learn combat skills, Mommy!”
After Aiden decided to learn combat skills, Warren took him to the place where he had seen the drill last time and then introduced a trainer to Aiden. A
Aiden did not know that the trainer was a well-known kickboxing expert in the country that ordinary people would not be able to hire. Warren had to spend a lot of money so that the man would be willing to train Aiden.
Having hearing problems made Aiden usually wear a hearing aid. Therefore, he needed to adapt to fighting without a hearing aid or how to protect his hearing aid when fighting.
It was much more difficult than what ordinary people would usually experience.
Nevertheless, Aiden was not a person who gave up easily. Although he looked shy and obedient, he had a kind of toughness that ordinary children rarely had.
