Chapter 143:
Before she could think of a way out, Matias said, “Professor Watts, Amelia needs time to breathe after all that, don’t you think? And what about me? I’m your student too, and I’m still single. Why not find someone for me instead p>
Matias’ playful complaint steered the conversation in a new direction, and Rudolf dropped the matchmaking idea.
It was only after a message from Wyatt appeared on her phone that Amelia finally said her goodbyes and left the hospital.
Inside the car, Wyatt’s face wore a mask of chill. But once Amelia climbed in, his expression melted into something far softer. His voice turned gentle as he asked, “How are you feeling today? Are your period cramps still bothering you?” She couldn’t help but smile at his concern, answering each question.
From Gabby, Wyatt had already gotten the full story about Amelia’s health. A storm of worry brewed within him—not for himself, but for what might happen if the Stewarts found out about her condition. According to Gabby, hope still flickered, though the possibility of disappointment couldn’t be ignored. If it turned out that Amelia could never have children, he’d need to prepare for what would come next. But in front of Amelia, Wyatt didn’t bring any of that up, acting as if nothing was amiss.
Once the engine purred to life, Amelia reached into her bag and handed over the gift Michelle had prepared for Wyatt. After Wyatt learned the story behind the white jade seals, his lips curled into a smile. “These are wonderful. Next time you’re planning to visit Michelle, tell me ahead of time. I’d like to go with you to see her p>
The seals given by Michelle were of excellent quality, but knowing Wyatt was accustomed to the finer things, Amelia had worried he might not appreciate them. But seeing his genuine fondness for them, she felt reassured and nodded.
Soon, the car rolled to a stop in front of Souls, a restaurant owned by Sanford. Dinnertime had just begun, and the restaurant already buzzed with hungry guests. Waitstaff quickly ushered Wyatt and Amelia into a pavilion, and dishes began to arrive at their table soon after they ordered.

A server hurried over, ready to peel shrimp for the couple, but Wyatt stopped him right away. “That won’t be necessary p>
Sanford, noticing the exchange, waved the server away. Reaching for a pair of gloves, Wyatt met Amelia’s protest with a playful grin. “Just let me have my moment to impress you p>
He took his time peeling a shrimp and then placed it gently on her plate. Sanford, who was used to seeing Wyatt pampered rather than doing something like this, pulled out his phone and recorded the moment. The video, he decided, would be perfect for teasing Wyatt and proving to their friends that marriage had changed him.
Plenty of eyes lingered on Wyatt and Amelia, but none glared as intently as one figure off to the side, jealousy written all over their face. “See now? I told you I wasn’t making things up. Wyatt wouldn’t act this way with just anyone. You only treat someone like that if you’re truly close p>
