Chapter 1120
“Your hand…” Amelia shifted her gaze to Warren’s right hand, which was wrapped with a bandage. When he entered the private room a while ago, no blood was oozing out, and the bandage was all white. But at that moment, there was a faint bloodstain on the bandage.
Warren followed her gaze and looked down at his hand. He then said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. I guess it’s just wound dehiscence.” He said it as if it was just a trivial matter to him.
Amelia recalled Jasper rushing toward her in the private room a while ago, and Warren directly knocked him to the ground.
She wondered, “I think his wound burst open at that time.”
The bloodstain on his bandage was getting obvious, and the range of the stains was gradually expanding. His wounds might have burst open hugely.
Amelia suddenly turned to Warren and said, “Get in the car.”
“What?” He was stunned.
“Get in the car. I’ll accompany you to the hospital first. Your hand injury needs the doctor to re-treat it,” Amelia replied.
Noticing that Warren was still standing there in a daze, she grabbed his wrist and took him directly into the car parked in front of them. “To the hospital,” she said to the driver.
The driver hesitated for a while and looked at Warren. Noticing the latter remained silent without opposing, he then started the engine and drove toward the hospital.
On the way, Warren seemed to regain his senses, realizing Amelia was sitting beside him in the same car as him at that moment.
“Thank you for today,” Amelia said.
Warren was stunned and replied, “You don’t have to thank me. You must have encountered such an awkward dinner today because of me.” He could sense that those people wanted to use her as a connection to invite him to dinner and talk about business affairs.
However, those people did not know the real relationship between them. Otherwise, they would not have humiliated her before his arrival or even

forced her to call him in the first place.
“They didn’t do anything to you, did they?” Warren asked with concern.
Amelia shook her head. “They just had some harsh words on me but didn’t do anything harmful.”
“If this happens again next time, you can call me directly and let me handle it,” Warren advised.
Amelia did not say anything.
Warren added, “Is the woman in the private room today your friend?”
“I know her when I was in prison. At that time, I was in the same cell with her. She didn’t bully me when others did. Sometimes, she even helped me. So I indeed owe her a favor,” Amelia explained.
However, she hadn’t expected Alicia to do such a scheme to her.
When Warren heard Amelia mention her imprisoned life, he could not help but feel heartbroken. After he investigated again, he only knew how much she had suffered during the time she was sent to prison by him.
However, his investigation was probably only the tip of the iceberg. Amelia might have suffered more, which he did not find out at all. After all, she had been released from prison for two years when he investigated.
Nevertheless, as a man, he would subconsciously feel chills after
discovering the beatings and humiliations she had suffered in prison. He could not imagine how she had come through at that time while she was even pregnant.
“I’m sorry, truly sorry…” Warren murmured with deep regret in his eyes.
Amelia was dumbfounded and said indifferently, “You don’t have to apologize anymore. I don’t want to talk about who’s at fault or not between us anymore. I only wish to end all the grievances and return to a peaceful life,”
Warren could not help but smile bitterly. He thought, “She’s right. Peaceful life. That’s what I want the most, and it’s also what I owe her.”
“All night. I’ll grant your wish if you want to live a peaceful life. After you give birth to the baby, I’ll return to Lofbury. I’ll leave my subsidiary in Strico for others to manage in the future, so you don’t have to worry that

I’ll affect your normal life,” Warren said.
Amelia looked at Warren in a daze. At that moment, those words h were clearly what she wanted to hear. After she gave birth, he would leave Strico. In the future, maybe only occasionally would they meet because of the baby, and she could live a peaceful life.
However, for some reason, Amelia felt empty after he said that.
Looking at her in a daze, Warren seemed to think of something and added, “If you are worried about the divorce, just give me a call when you’ve decided on a date to divorce me. I’ll come to Strico and go through the divorce formalities with you.”
Amelia pursed her lips. Only she knew that she hadn’t thought about it at all.
She mused, “That’s right. After I give birth and he leaves Strico, perhaps our next meeting would be the time for a divorce.”
When they arrived at the hospital, Amelia accompanied Warren straight to the emergency room. The doctor re-bandaged Warren’s wound and told him not to carry heavy objects with both hands for the coming days.
“Don’t think it’s just a minor injury so that you can be careless about it. If you prolong the time, your injury will only become more severe by then. If you treat it later, it may not be just a minor wound.” The doctor continued, “Also, avoid food that will worsen it. Then, it’ll heal faster.”
After getting out of the hospital, Warren suggested, “How about we grab something to eat? We can sit separately at different tables when we eat. I won’t disturb you.”
Amelia turned to look at the man beside her. He was so cautious before her at the moment, which was completely different from the calm and overbearing manner he used to have in the private room.
His carefulness made her feel as if something was stuck in her heart.
“That’s fine. We can sit together at one table,” Amelia said.
Warren seemed slightly surprised, but then he smiled and replied, “Okay.” He felt as if he was blessed that she was willing to eat with him at the same table at present.
He wondered, “Was it because I swung a punch on the man for her today that caused my wound dehiscence? Was it sympathy? Or was she feeling

guilty? Is that why she’s willing to have this meal with me?”
But whatever it was, it was a good thing for him.
He wanted them all, whether it was her sympathy or anything else toward him. The most intolerable thing for him was actually her disregard.
It would be as if he no longer existed to her.
Warren did not want to experience the way Amelia looked at him previously again in his life.
They arrived at a pasta restaurant near the hospital. Amelia ordered a creamy tomato pasta and then turned to look at Warren.
