Chapter 430
Chapter 430:
Weldon had stayed overseas for quite a while, and Barrie’s words made his eyes widen in astonishment.
As a bodyguard, Barrie had crossed paths with countless individuals, even those far stranger than Joselyn.
Though Wyatt and Marc lacked direct knowledge in this area, they had heard old stories about tribal myths.
“So, all those animals on her body belong to her?” Wyatt asked.
“You might put it that way, but more accurately, they’re enchanted beings she raises for magic p>
Listening to Barrie’s clarification, Wyatt knitted his brows.
He wasn’t overly troubled by Joselyn, but he feared she could also be after the wildroot panax.
At that moment, Marc, who had kept quiet, suddenly remarked, “She looks beautiful p>
Everyone except Wyatt swiveled their gaze toward Marc.
Catching the odd stares, Marc shot back, “Why are you all staring at me p>
“Do all doctors harbor such… eccentric preferences p>
𝘞𝘩𝘢t 𝖾v𝗲𝗿𝘺𝗼ո𝖾 𝗂𝘴 𝗿𝖾𝗮𝗱і𝘯𝗀 𝘰𝗻
Weldon’s gaze had been seized by the strange creatures around Joselyn, particularly when an arm-length centipede crawled from her mouth. Her delicate face had appeared more terrifying than a ghost to him.
While they conversed, Wyatt’s phone abruptly vibrated.
His demeanor softened right away when he checked his phone.
“Where are you? Why can’t I see your face?” Amelia video-called Wyatt. Staring at the blank screen of the video chat, she spoke in puzzlement.
When the lamp flickered to life, Amelia saw that Wyatt was inside a tent.
He gave her a brief account of his situation, naturally leaving out the toxic flora and insects.
What Wyatt failed to realize was that Amelia, during their video conversation, had a laptop open in front of her, showing details about Elixirspine.
Since Wyatt omitted any word about Elixirspine’s dangers, Amelia pretended ignorance and instead spoke of Kelsey’s visit earlier today.
“Did she give you trouble?” Wyatt asked.
Meeting Wyatt’s sharp glance, Amelia quickly explained, “Kelsey came to me to negotiate a partnership p>
Through the call, Amelia summarized her arrangement with Kelsey and told Wyatt she had already placed her signature on the contract.
Recalling how she had turned down Wyatt’s offer of investment before, Amelia felt a hint of unease and admitted softly, “The reason I refused your backing was p>
“Amelia, don’t feel the need to justify yourself; I already know,” Wyatt interjected tenderly.
When Amelia initially rejected his proposal, he hadn’t grasped her reasoning. But after observing how she managed the Figueroa family’s chaos, he understood.
Recognizing Amelia’s desire to depend on her own strength, he never mentioned the investment again.
Sensing her discomfort, he laughed lightly and said, “Maybe one day, your company will stand equal with the Stewart Group p>
Wyatt’s remark stirred Amelia with determination, and she answered resolutely, “I’ll devote myself toward that p>
The tent walls offered no barrier to sound, especially in the stillness of night.
Wyatt’s talk with Amelia reached the ears of those outside.
Barrie was already accustomed to Wyatt’s devotion to Amelia. But Weldon couldn’t resist nudging Marc’s arm as he heard Wyatt’s tender voice. “Hey Doc, tell me — do multiple personalities truly exist p>
Marc didn’t catch the meaning in his words at first, but once he did, he nearly broke into laughter.
As soon as Wyatt’s tent grew silent, Marc teased, “Wyatt, Weldon says you have multiple personalities p>
“I never said that!” Weldon quickly objected.
“If you don’t want to sleep, why not head into the mountain and scout ahead p>
With Wyatt’s voice booming from the tent, Marc and Weldon instantly scurried into their own tents.
The following morning, Hillside Villa.
Amelia stirred awake with sharp hunger.
Possibly because she was carrying triplets, her stomach constantly felt hollow.
Yet when Gabby presented breakfast, she couldn’t swallow even a bite.
On top of that, she felt waves of nausea.
After expelling everything from her stomach, the acid still pressed upward.
Watching Amelia retch helplessly over the sink, Carlee worriedly turned to Gabby. “Isn’t there something to stop her vomiting this much? If this continues, it’ll endanger both her and the babies p>
“This is a common symptom of pregnancy. I can relieve it, but no true cure exists.” While responding, Gabby quickly passed Amelia a sour green plum.
The strong sourness halted Amelia’s retching, but her appetite remained absent.
From morning through midday, she consumed nothing, only sipping a few drops of water. Her face had turned pale.
Noticing her colorless lips, Gabby became anxious and said softly, “Amelia, you must push yourself to eat a little. Otherwise, both you and the babies will face grave risk p>
