Chapter 245:

With those words, Marc handed over a bottle of medicine he had made, one he trusted to improve Gemma’s health.

When Bryce and his mother left, Amelia stood to see them off. Bryce thanked her; he knew that without her, he would never have crossed paths with Marc.

While Marc had been checking on Gemma, Wyatt had slipped away to the garden, so when Amelia returned to the living room, only Marc was there.

Bryce’s words lingered in Amelia’s mind. She wondered how the Morrison family had managed to get Marc to agree to help when everyone knew how impossible he was to reach. Her curiosity got the better of her, so she asked him about it.

Marc blinked in surprise, then answered, “Did Wyatt not mention it to you p>

“What do you mean p>

Seeing her confusion, Marc sighed, sounding a little resigned. “I didn’t treat Michelle because of anything the Morrison family promised p>

All this time, she had assumed the Morrisons were the ones who had managed to get Marc’s help for her; she had even put up with Jaxton’s smugness because of it. Jaxton had never missed a chance to make things harder for her, holding the matter over her at every opportunity.

Fury shimmered in Amelia’s eyes as the memories surfaced. “Why didn’t you ever tell me the truth p>

Wyatt sat quietly, turning her words over in his mind. Back when Katrina had refused to let him marry Amelia, he had tried to keep his distance. Still, the moment he learned Michelle was sick, he reached out to Marc for help. Wyatt had chosen not to share this with Amelia, thinking it would only add to her burdens.

Now, seeing her eyes brimming with tears, he said, “I’m sorry. I should have told you everything from the start p>

Her frustration wasn’t with him, but with the Morrison family’s selfishness. Before Wyatt could say another word, Amelia pressed a gentle finger to his lips. “No more apologies p>
