“What? You didn’t expect to see me here? Then who did you expect to see? Lucas?” Warren asked.
Amelia bit her lip. “No. I just thought… It’s time for you to go back and rest, instead of waiting by my hospital bed,” she said.
“After all, you have no feelings for me anymore,” she said inwardly.
Warren stared at the person in front of him and said slowly, “Amelia, today the doctor also told you that if you continue with this pregnancy, then the pain like today will happen again in the future. Are you planning to endure it all the way until the child is born at seven months?”
“Yes, since I decided to keep the baby, there’s no need to think about anything else now,” Amelia replied.
“Even if you give birth to the baby, it may cause you to live a short life. Do you still insist? Perhaps if you don’t give birth to this baby, you can live up to 70 or 80 years old, but if you do give birth to this child, you might only live up to 60 years old,” Warren said.
Amelia was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled gently again. “In my opinion, it’s not bad to be able to live up to 60. Isn’t there a saying that tomorrow is promised to no one? If I could live to be 60, then my mother should be able to die peacefully before me. Aiden will also be over 30 and an adult. As for this baby, he will also be 25 years old, a university graduate with a stable job. He may be in the process of falling in love, or he may have already found someone to spend his life with. Even if I were gone, they could still have a good life.”
Warren thought, ‘She’s smiling as if she can live up to 60 years old. It is a great satisfaction for her.
She thinks of her mother, Matilda, and her two children, and yet I am the only one she does not think about.
If she really only lives until she is 60, then I… A sudden wave of panic erupted in Warren’s heart.
His gaze was burning with intensity as he stared at the person in front of him. After a while, he finally said, “Amelia, I’m going to give you one last chance…”
The smile that had first appeared at the corner of Amelia’s lips gradually

faded as she looked at him with a hint of confusion.
“I can agree to cooperate with you and let Alicia be sentenced to probation, but I have one condition. Before we get divorced, you and I will live like an ordinary married couple. Then, according to the
agreement we made when we got married, we will divorce one year after the child is born,” Warren said.
Amelia was stunned. She never thought Warren would make such a
request.
“Why?” She was puzzled.
“I suppose it’s about trying to get what I couldn’t get before.” Warren gave her a sarcastic look and continued, “People often find themselves in such situations. The more challenging something is to acquire, the stronger their desire for it. However, once they do acquire it, they may realize it’s not as special as they had imagined.”
He thought to himself, ‘If I am really with her, then perhaps these ups and downs of my feelings toward her could be eased. I will find that there is nothing more to this woman. Then I will divorce her peacefully.
The hypnotherapist from before also mentioned that without someone uttering the ‘secret words’, my past emotions would never truly recover!
Amelia only has a minor influence on me now. As long as I really got along with her for some time, I might get tired of her. At that moment, my mind will stop wavering for her.’
Amelia’s hands clenched on the sheets, holding them tightly. She stared at Warren with her dark pupils, lost in thought. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, “Okay, I agree.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to send you back to Strico after you’re discharged from the hospital. When some of my business here has been taken care of, I will also go to Strico.” After Warren said that, he left the ward without looking at Amelia again.
Only Amelia remained in the ward.
At that moment, she could not come to her senses. She had not expected things to take such a drastic turn.
She mused, ‘Warren has agreed to let Alicia be sentenced to probation at the price of living a real married life with me for a while.

But Warren’s goal is probably to prove that there is nothing extraordinary about being a normal married couple with me.’ Amelia smiled wryly, but it was good. At least she could still spend more time with him.
Perhaps that period of married life would become the most precious memory of her life.
When Warren returned to the York residence, Lydia was still awake. As soon as she saw her son, Warren, coming back, she immediately said, “Why did you come back so late? I almost think…”
After a pause, Lydia said nothing. But Warren interrupted, “Thinking what? Do you think I’m going back to Strico with Amelia?”
Lydia smiled awkwardly and advised in a serious tone, “Warren, Amelia has gone back to Strico. Don’t worry about her anymore. I can find you the type of women you want. If you really like Amelia’s appearance, I can find you someone similar.”
“Mom, Amelia didn’t go back to Strico’s today. She’s in the hospital now. She had abdominal pain today, and I brought her to the hospital. She may need to stay there for a few more days before being discharged,” Warren said.
Lydia was shocked to hear that. But what Warren said next would surprise her even more.
“After Amelia is discharged from the hospital in a few days, I will ask someone to send her back to Strico. Then I would take care of everything here and go to Strico as well. I had promised her that Alicia would be sentenced to probation, but the condition is that she must live with me as a married couple for the entire year after the child’s birth, and we will divorce when the time comes.”
Lydia was stunned for a moment before she said, “Why? Why did you fall into her trap? A real married couple? It’s only been a little over a year. What kind of real married couple is that?”
“Mom, I’ve decided to do this!” Warren said.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, Lydia suddenly grabbed his arm. “Warren, you still can’t get her out of your mind, can you? Is that why you insist on being with her like this?”
Warren turned around and looked at Lydia and said, “Mom, I did this to completely forget about her!”

With that, he pried open Lydia’s hand and went upstairs.
Lydia stood still for a long time before she sighed. “Is it to forget? I’m afraid you won’t forget her when the time comes!”
Three days later, Amelia was discharged from the hospital. Warren sent Frederick to take her back to Strico.
“Actually, it’s okay for me to take the bullet train by myself. You don’t need to drive me to Strico,” Amelia said.
Frederick smiled. “This is Mr. York’s order. It is because he cares for you, Mrs. York. I do as I am told. Please get in the car.”
