Chapter 672
“Are you saying that Callum refused to contact your people?” Rosalie was surprised.
“Yes, and in a few days, I’m afraid you will see him on the news. At that time, he will completely take over the White family. But it will be with the help of the Tall family,” Jonathan said.
Originally, he wanted to tell her after finding out what the relationship between Callum and the real daughter of the Tall family was.
Nevertheless, it was now clear that Callum and the Tall family acted faster than he had expected.
Naturally, this was also due to the stupidity of the direct descendants of the White family. After Callum disappeared, they took a series of measures that were unpopular with the others and it was only natural that the family met its demise faster.
“You didn’t say how Callum has changed,” she urged. Then, she added, “If Callum can take back the White family, it should be a good thing. Even with the help of the Tall family, it must be because he had no choice but to do so. Although Josephine from the Tall family once did something to Lillian’s car and almost caused us an accident, Lillian would still be able to show some empathy.”
“But what if Callum dates another woman?” Jonathan asked. After all, even if he did not mention it now, everyone would still know once
Callum shows up in public.
“What?” Rosalie’s eyes widened as she stared at Jonathan. “Has he… fallen for someone else?”
“It’s just a possibility. Maybe he is pretending to be because he wants to use the Tall family, but… Anyway, I think when Lillian wakes up, it’d be better not to mention Callum to her so that she won’t be provoked. We can wait until everything is made clear.”
Rosalie nodded, but she was still in a bad mood.
“If Callum really falls for someone else, then… what should Lillian do?” she wondered. At the thought of this, Rosalie’s face darkened and she frowned.
“All right. Don’t think too much. Callum falling for someone else is just the worst possibility. Moreover, you also said that Callum loves Lillian

very much,” Jonathan said.
“Yes, he… loves Lillian very much!” Rosalie breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, she said to Jonathan as if she was seeking comfort, “So, he won’t betray Lillian, right?”
Jonathan gently caressed Rosalie’s frown. “If it were me, I wouldn’t.”
Rosalie was silent. She understood what he meant. After all, it was hard to say whether Callum would fall for someone else or not because they were not Callum.
It seemed as if the topic ended right there. Then, Jonathan continued to massage Rosalie’s feet.
She looked at him as he lowered his gaze. After that, she suddenly said, “I’ met Calvin in the mall today.”
His body stiffened slightly. He stopped what he was doing and raised his head to look at her. “Actually, you didn’t have to say anything.”
“But I don’t want any misunderstanding between us. I know you are bothered by the matter between Calvin and me, so I wanted to make it clear to you.” She then added, “I told Calvin today that I am very happy now. The person I love is you, and I hope he won’t be put in a dilemma about the past.”
He stared intently at her. “Do you really think you are happy now?”
“Yes, I’m very happy. Our marriage is really much happier than I thought.” Rosalie then added, “Sometimes, I’ll get scared because I’m too happy now. Especially when I compare it with Amelia and Lillian-”
“No, it won’t!” he suddenly interrupted her. After that, he added with great certainty, “No matter what happened before, our relationship will last forever in the future!”
His gaze was burning and domineering. It was as if it was a net that caught her firmly.
Meanwhile, she was willing to fall into his net. “Yes, our relationship will last forever!”
At about three o’clock in the morning, Amelia returned to her rental home with much exhaustion. Then, she took out several boxes of medicine and poured a glass of water before taking the pills.
There were seven or eight pills in total. She used to be the person who disliked taking medicine, but now, these pills were her only hope to ensure that she would live another day.

Matilda walked out of her bedroom. Seeing Amelia taking medicine, she could not help but have tears brimming in her eyes. “I think you should stop working at the food cart. Our family still has some money left. Or I can become a housekeeper to earn some money. Then, you can spend more time with Aiden.”
Amelia swallowed the last two pills and turned to look at Matilda. “Mom, people will think that you’re already too old to be a housekeeper. The food cart… Let me continue for another month and earn more money. After all, it costs a lot of money to buy the medicine every month. A month later, I will close the food cart and accompany Aiden.” Looking at Amelia’s calm appearance made Matilda even sadder. “Did the hospital make the right diagnosis? Did they really say that you-”
”
“I’ve been to two hospitals, and the results are the same. How can it be wrong?” Amelia said.
“Then, why don’t you find Rosalie? Isn’t she married to Jonathan? Jonathan is so powerful in Strico. Maybe he can find a good doctor to attend to you. There is still hope,” Matilda persisted.
Amelia shook her head. “I already owe Rosalie too much. She’s pregnant now, and I don’t want her to be upset about me anymore. Moreover, I’m in the terminal stage now and I met experts in both hospitals. They said that other than doing a liver transplant, there is no other way. But Mom, you know that I have a unique blood type, so an ordinary liver is not suitable for me at all. Nevertheless, if I wanted to find a liver that has the same blood type as mine, it’s almost impossible.”
That was why she chose to hand Aiden over to Warren because it was already equivalent to her having a death sentence. It was an impossible situation for her.
Matilda could not help crying. “Why did you inherit your father’s blood type? How nice it would be if you were to follow mine? I’m already a useless old woman, so it will be so much better if I can give my liver to you.”
Amelia felt like crying as well. She wiped Matilda’s tears with a tissue. “Mom, in fact, the person I am most sorry for is you. I should have taken good care of you, but instead, you have to follow me around and never live a peaceful life. Mom, you have to take care of yourself in the future.”
“There’s nothing that you should be sorry about because we are mother and daughter. I just want you to continue living your days and spending more time with an old woman like me!” Matilda said.

Amelia forced a smile and said, “I will. After three months, I will hand over Aiden to Warren. Mom, I’ll accompany you back to our hometown. I will find a nursing home for you there. At that time, the money I kept plus your social security should be enough to cover the expenses of the nursing home…”
Then, Amelia continued to inform Matilda about how she had already arranged for Matilda’s future. Nevertheless, the more Amelia spoke, the sadder Matilda felt.
