Since She Met Lucian

"Mrs. Amelia is having some stomach problems. Please take good care of her," Lucian told Lily after he'd taken Amelia to the bedroom.

"Okay." Lily nodded in agreement before leaving the room.

When Amelia and Lucian were left alone in the room, the atmosphere suddenly grew thick with tension.

"Be good and please rest well." Lucian sounded concerned as he walked over to the bed.

Heart beating fast, Amelia gazed back at him with her face flushed.

He looked quite indifferent. If he didn't sound so concerned, one would think that he was mad.

"Yes." She nodded obediently. She looked up at Lucian and smiled. "Thank you."

With a gentle smile on his face, Lucian felt the joy in his heart which quickly spread all over his body.

"If you want, you can take a walk in the backyard of the villa but you can't run, okay?" After he spoke, he turned and left the room.

As Amelia watched his figure retreat, she couldn't help but suddenly feel sad.

Shortly after Lucian left, Amelia fell asleep. It was already two in the afternoon when she woke up.

When she got up, she ate quickly and intended to head outside for a quick walk as Lucian had just suggested. However, her phone suddenly began ringing.

"Hello?"

"Amelia?" A man's voice came from the other end of the line. His voice was laced with uncertainty.

Surprised, Amelia asked tentatively, "Is this Jonny?" She thought she'd heard Jonny's voice.

"Thank God, I called the right number." On the other end of the line, Jonny smiled in relief then he added, "Are you free today?"

"Yes, I am but..." She recalled that Lucian had told her to take it easy. Stammering, she didn't know what to respond.

"But what?" Jonny asked anxiously.

"Jonny, why are you calling me?" she asked. She wanted to think this over carefully before making a decision.

"Oh, it's nothing important. I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go back to the Imperial Middle School. I dropped by there earlier today."
