Chapter 723
Slap!
A crisp slap abruptly silenced Irene’s voice. She staggered and almost fell to the ground again.
Her cheek on one side immediately reddened and swelled, bearing the imprint of the slap.
But at this moment, Irene seemed to have no pain and mocked, “Even if Amelia is innocent, she will die. Warren, let me see what you would be like if Amelia died!” Warren suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Irene. “How did you know she’s ill now?”
Irene burst into manic laughter. “Haha! How would I know? I know everything about Amelia even better than you do. Warren, you’re just blind!”
Warren pursed his thin lips into a straight line and gritted his teeth. After a long time, he said, “You’re right. I’m blind!”
He had been blind for so long that he didn’t know who was the one who treated him well.
Therefore, he deserved all these punishments now.
“Irene, I may be blind, but I will seek redemption for my sins. As for you and the Fletcher family, your redemption will be a lifetime spent in prison.”
After saying that, Warren turned around and left as if he didn’t bother to look at those people anymore.
Irene laughed miserably, shouting like a crazy woman, “Warren York! I’ll wait for Amelia’s death, waiting to see what fate awaits you…”
It was not until Warren got back in the car and closed the door that Irene’s crazy and shrill voice seemed to be isolated.
He slowly closed his eyes and ordered the driver in the front row, “Go to the hospital.”
The car drove away slowly. Warren leaned back in the seat, like an old man in the twilight of life.
“Amelia’s liver cancer is already in stage three. Currently, the only slim hope is a liver transplant. Warren, if you want redemption, then cut off half of your liver and give it to her.”
Rosalie’s words echoed in his ear.
Cut off half of his liver? Even if they asked for his entire liver, he would willingly give it to her!
Stage three… He naturally understood what stage three cancer meant. So, the pain she initially experienced was due to her cancer, which was getting worse and

worse.
Therefore, that was why she suddenly stopped pursuing the lawsuit and willingly handed over custody of Aiden to him.
That was also why she agreed to his request to kneel down and apologize in front of Irene, just to fulfill Aiden’s wish to go to the amusement park.
“Why did I make that request at that time?” Warren thought, hating himself immensely.
At that time, in Amelia’s eyes, the request seemed ridiculous. The one harmed had to apologize to the one who caused the trouble.
However, he had done such a ridiculous thing more than once.
At the amusement park, she asked him that if she were really going to die, and he had the chance to save her, would he be willing to? How did he answer her at that time?
He said that even if she died, she shouldn’t die in front of him, so as not to stain his eyes.
How could he say such a thing? His words completely shattered all her hopes for life.
His life was given by her.
Warren’s body trembled, his teeth clenching tightly.
That was why she smiled like that at that time, thanking him.
Because at that time, for her, she had truly and completely let go of the feelings she had for him.
He, on the other hand, was so foolish. It wasn’t until today that he finally understood the true meaning behind that smile she had worn back then.
When the car stopped, he heard the driver’s exclamation. “Mr. York, you… Why are you bleeding?”
Warren slowly opened his eyes and followed the driver’s gaze. He lifted his hand to touch his lips and discovered blood at the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that he had bitten his lips too hard just now, and unconsciously, he had bitten them until they bled.
Warren wiped the blood off his lips, opened the car door, and stepped out of the
car.
Just as he was about to walk toward the inpatient building, he saw Amelia walking out of it with Matilda and the two men who had been guarding the door of the ward, with the men carrying luggage in their hands.
It looked like she was going to be discharged from the hospital.
Warren immediately rushed forward. “Are you leaving the hospital?”
However, when he tried to approach Amelia, he was once again blocked by the

two men.
Amelia didn’t expect to see Warren again. She thought she had made it clear that day.
“So what? Do I need to report to you when I’m discharged from the hospital?” Amelia said coldly.
“But, do you know that your current condition needs…” His voice stopped abruptly, his lips trembled, and his face turned pale as if he didn’t dare to say anything more.
As if, subconsciously, he hoped that her illness wasn’t real.
“Needs… Needs proper rest and treatment in the hospital.” He barely finished his words.
“No need. I know my body very well,” Amelia said indifferently, intending to walk past Warren.
“You know? If you knew it, you wouldn’t be in such a hurry to leave the hospital! Do you really want to die?” Warren was anxious, but the two men stopped him, making it impossible for him to approach Amelia at all.
Amelia paused, glanced at Warren with a hint of surprise, then showed a knowing expression. She smiled softly. “Mr. York, don’t worry. Even if I really die, I won’t die in front of you and stain your eyes.”
Warren’s body stiffened as if he had been slapped hard.
Now, he deeply regretted why he had said those words back then.
“I-I’m sorry…” His lips trembled, and his voice was hoarse. Besides those three words, he didn’t even know what else to say.
“Between you and me, there’s only hatred. The words ‘I’m sorry’ have no meaning. Please, don’t show up in front of me again until I die!” Amelia said coldly.
In an instant, Warren felt as if his entire body was submerged in icy water, a cold that penetrated to the bone.
Had she grown so disgusted with him to such an extent? Until her death? It turned out that a few words could make people feel so much pain.
To add, he had said many hurtful words to her before.
Matilda stared at Warren with hatred and said to Amelia, “Let’s go. Ignore this kind of person. Even if we beg for food in the future, we won’t beg in front of him.”
Amelia and Matilda got into the car and left the hospital under the escort of two bodyguards. Meanwhile, Warren stood still, staring blankly at Amelia’s back, his face filled with pain, regret, and… helplessness.
