The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1203

“No, you can’t… Ah!” A startled cry escaped Amelia’s lips as she gasped for air. Her eyes snapped open abruptly to a dimly lit room.

The remnants of a haunting dream and stark reality tangled momentarily until she heard the voice of Warren by her ear. “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” he inquired.

Immediately afterward, the room was illuminated, and Amelia noticed Warren’s face, which appeared to hold a trace of eager concern, drawing nearer to her.

She found herself rather taken aback and she thought, “Such earnest concern… Is he really worried about me?”

“What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?” His worry deepened as he observed her bewildered expression. He gently placed a hand on her forehead.

“I… I just had a bad dream,” Amelia mumbled. “I dreamt of Riley. I dreamt that she was being tortured and abused in the hospital…”

She suddenly clutched his hand tightly. “Warren, I beg you, let me see Riley as soon as possible. I need to find out what’s really happening. What she’s going through now isn’t treatment. It’s abuse!”

“I can take you to see her as soon as possible. I can help you investigate what’s happening. But… it doesn’t mean I’m willing to become heavily entangled in this matter,” Warren stated. “Don’t forget, our initial deal was just me agreeing to secure probation for Alicia. Now, I’ve accompanied you here, but if Riley’s situation proves too difficult to handle, then we will go back.”

“But…” Amelia began, wanting to add something, but Warren interrupted her.

“There aren’t that many ‘buts,’ Amelia. You’re not infallible. There are matters you can assist with, but what about those you can’t? Do you intend to spend your entire life in Lommore, then? Moreover, don’t forget what your top priority is right now! There are perhaps less than two months left before you give birth. If anything jeopardizes the baby due to your actions, I will not forgive you!” Warren said.
