Chapter 123 Bring Mrs. Amelia Home (1/2)

”Oh, sweet girl! Don't you think it's a little weird?” Knowing how she would react to the information, Lucian told Courtney to keep the truth from Amelia for the time being. But Courtney didn't want to keep her friend in the dark and worry herself to death about her landlady. She swallowed before she said to her, ”Well, promise me you won't think too much about it, but there's something you need to know about Mrs. Chen.”

”Mrs. Chen?” Amelia couldn't believe what she just heard. Did something happen to her landlady?

”Was she not at home?” Courtney didn't wish to make Amelia recall the horrible events of last night, but she said nevertheless, ”If it hadn't been for this, I would have continued believing she was just as kind as you are!”

Amelia couldn't think of anything to say. She merely held herself and denied everything that Courtney spoke. Mrs. Chen had always been kind to her, she told herself.

It was ten in the morning when Jonny came to see Amelia. Opening the door to her room, he could instantly tell that she was feeling down. Courtney went up to him to tell him what had happened.

After learning everything from Courtney, Jonny dragged a chair and sat beside Amelia's bed. With a friendly smile, he said to her, ”I heard that Lucian saved a certain damsel last night.”

He joked, hoping to turn Amelia's sour mood around.

”Jonny!” Amelia didn't even notice that Jonny had entered the room. After recovering from surprise, she acknowledged him with a nod.

She bit her lip and didn't dare say a word. Her eyes betrayed her anxiety. Jonny didn't say anything for a while until he smiled and finally said, ”Amelia, you'll find plenty of other people to love and be friends with. Please

here, Mr. Lucian,” Lily said, jokingly sticking out her tongue.

Lucian gave her an appreciative smile. ”We're so lucky to have you, Lily. You've been nothing but kind to us,” Lucian couldn't help but compliment her.
