Chapter 397:
As Laura reached for her phone, Layla swiftly shifted her child to one arm and hauled her luggage away with the other, making a hasty retreat. Layla’s eyes brimmed with tears in an instant when she heard her daughter’s cries.
Amelia hadn’t expected that after just hearing the news about the Morrison family, she would encounter the person involved.
The summer rays in Kretol beat down mercilessly, turning the city into a furnace. Spotting Layla slumped forlornly by the curb with her little one, Amelia felt compelled to urge Barrie to pull over.
When the car halted right before her, Layla assumed she was in the way and reflexively tugged her suitcase aside — until her gaze landed on the familiar license plate.
“Why are you here? What… What in the world are you doing? Get to your feet!” Seeing Layla falling to her knees desperately before her, Amelia rushed ahead, eager to help her up.
Yet, despite Amelia’s earnest efforts, Layla remained rooted to the spot, unyielding. On her knees before Amelia, child in her arms, Layla implored through glistening eyes, “Mrs. Stewart, I’m begging you. Please help me p>
Her complexion had turned ghostly from sheer anguish, and the child in her embrace rasped hoarsely from endless sobs.
In that very instant, Wyatt emerged from the car, walking over and eventually standing beside Amelia.
Amelia’s unexpected arrival felt like a beacon of hope to Layla, her only lifeline. However, upon glimpsing Wyatt, Layla dared not utter her pleas again.
Gazing tenderly at the child nestled in Layla’s hold, Amelia murmured gently, “Hop into the car with your little one first p>
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a hotel. On the way, Amelia had learned that Layla had been kicked out by Laura.

Sitting down on the hotel lobby’s plush sofa, Amelia looked at Layla and said, “You’re seeking my assistance. But how exactly do you want me to help you p>
Before Layla could muster a reply, Amelia continued, “To provide for you and your daughter, and cover the bills for your daughter’s treatment p>
Layla yearned for precisely that, aware that such an expense was just a drop in the ocean for Amelia. But catching sight of Wyatt seated nearby, she hastily shook her head, saying, “That is not quite what I had in mind p>
“I can’t do that, but I can offer you a piece of advice,” Amelia said.
Noting Layla’s puzzled look, Amelia explained, “You could take the Morrison family to court p>
“If I pursue legal action against the Morrisons, won’t that only fuel their resentment toward Avery and me p>
“Do you honestly believe they harbor any fondness for you or your daughter at this point p>
