Chapter 294 Michaels Secret (2/2)

Nicholas' legs had gotten worse and it was very serious. The doctor came back to check on him and discovered that he didn't get better after taking medicine.

The servant brought a basin of hot water that Amelia made useful. Amelia briefly soaked a small towel in the basin and then squeezed the excess water off. She then wiped Nicholas' forehead with the warm towel.

”Is that you Amelia? What brings you here?” Nicholas opened his eyes when he felt the soothing effect of the warm towel on his forehead. He was surprised to see that it was Amelia who took care of him. His twisted face suddenly brightened up with a smile.

”Dad stop talking. It might make you even more uncomfortable.” The discomfort in Nicholas' face made Amelia feel heartbroken. She felt pity for him and wanted to do everything she could to ease his pain.

She used to like rainy days, but after seeing how much pain rainy days had brought to Nicholas, she felt that she didn't like rainy days anymore.

”It's okay. I'm glad to see you,” Nicholas said with effort. He had difficulty speaking and his voice sounded dryer than before.

Although she badly wanted to confirm the story of the maid. She refrained herself from doing it to avoid getting Nicholas overexcited.

Lucian arrived at dusk.

Amelia never told Lucian about Nicholas' accident that morning and how his legs got worse. Lucian found out about it from Lily.

Fortunately, the pain in Nicholas' legs eased after dinner. Amelia and Lucian returned to the SJ Garden shortly after dinner.

”Achoo!” Amelia sneezed almost as soon as she got into the car.

Lucian turned to her with a worried look and asked, ”Do you have a cold?”

Amelia wiped her nose with tissue. Her eyes looked watery and her nose was slightly red. She turned to Lucian with a slight smile and shook her head. ”My body is not that weak. Don't be nervous,” she replied with a smile.
