Chapter 147:
Descending the stairs, Amelia tried to collect herself, but her mind felt scattered. The empty living room made her chest ache a little more. Kurt had breakfast ready on the table, but she found no comfort in it. Each bite felt tasteless, and she struggled to finish even a small portion.
One of the servants approached and said, “Mrs. Stewart, here is your medicine.” Seeing the medicine brought over so promptly, Amelia felt her frustration boil over. Her eyes glistened with anger as she shouted, “Take it away! I don’t want it p>
The servant jumped back in shock, clearly rattled. She didn’t dare to leave, but she also lacked the courage to force Amelia to take the medicine, so she said, “Mrs. Stewart, Mr. Stewart told me to make sure you took your medicine. If you refuse, I’ll get in trouble…” Quiet sobs escaped from her.
Amelia, never wishing to make life harder for anyone, finally reached out and accepted the medicine. She braced herself for the usual bitter aftertaste but was instead caught off guard by a sudden sweetness that filled her mouth. Surprise flickered across her face.

From behind her, a deep voice echoed. “I had Gabby prepare this medicine last night just for you. From now on, she’ll make it sweet p>
The weight on Amelia’s heart eased all at once. Noticing the hint of red around her eyes, Wyatt instinctively pulled her into his arms. “I’m sorry. I let my nerves get the best of me p>
He could not shake the thought that if Amelia could not have children, the Stewart family would seize any excuse to blame her.
After a while, Amelia looked up and said, “I want to go back to work tomorrow.” She didn’t give him a chance to argue before explaining, “Matias still needs to remain in the hospital for a few more days, and the resort project is already finalized. I need to handle things at work p>
Despite his concern, Wyatt saw the resolve in her gaze and could only offer a gentle warning. “Don’t force yourself if you feel sick. Have Barrie take you home and rest p>
After delivering the medicine, the servant slipped away without drawing attention. She did not return to her room right away. Instead, she pulled out her phone and dialed. Pausing to glance at the glowing windows of the main house, she hesitated for a moment. The promise of a reward tugged at her memory, and she eventually sent a message.
Inside a hotel room.
Elena heard her phone buzz and immediately opened her eyes. Looking at her phone screen, she jolted upright, excitement lighting up her face. The truth struck her with a jolt—Amelia could not have children. If the Stewarts found out about this, Amelia would be kicked out of the Stewart family, and not even Wyatt’s support could shield her.
At first, Elena had only slipped money to a servant at Hillside Villa to keep tabs on Wyatt. She had never expected to stumble upon such thrilling news. She felt laughter bubbling inside but stifled it, remembering the bodyguards stationed just outside her door. After allowing herself a quiet celebration, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
The next morning.
As Amelia’s eyes fluttered open, she spotted Wyatt stepping out of the walk-in closet. Already dressed, he held a silver-gray tie, running it between his fingers, ready to finish getting ready. Catching Amelia’s gaze, he stopped what he was doing and made his way to the edge of the bed.
