Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 711

Eleanor was relieved, as she subconsciously relied on Amelia Winters very much.

“You're saying the truth, right, Lia?”

Amelia Winters nodded.

Seeing her response, Eleanor smiled. “It's good that you're accompanying me for a few more days, Lia. I'm reluctant to part with you.”

“Don't worry about it, Mom. All of us are very worried about you. We'll be at ease as long as you're fine.”

Eleanor's mood lifted after she heard that.

Even since Eleanor was hospitalized, Amelia Winters had been paying extra attention to the former's diet and tried to make some nutritious food to help the former recover. Although that did not help much, she still wanted Eleanor to eat well and live a comfortable life.

Amelia Hutton and Sean could never be as meticulous as her. As for Benjamin, despite keeping silent most of the time, he had witnessed everything she had done for Eleanor.

With that, he finally began to see Amelia Winters in a new light. He followed her out when she went to fetch some water.

“Do you need something, Mr. Hutton?” she asked.

Even after being acknowledged by Benjamin, Amelia Winters still did not call him “Dad.”

Benjamin gazed at her with a conflicted look. His lips twitched as he uttered with difficulty, “Do you hate us, Amelia?”

Amelia froze momentarily before replying with a carefree smile, “I'd be lying if I denied it. However, perhaps because I've never lived with you all, so the hatred isn't as intense as I'd imagined. Even after learning that you're my father, I still don't have much affection for you and only regard you as a somewhat familiar stranger. So there is still love and hate, only much milder.”

A glint flashed across Benjamin's hazy eyes when he heard that. He did not expect Amelia to be so open-minded in certain matters.

Her frankness made him think that his persistence over the past twenty years seemed so ridiculous. I can't believe I can't be as open-minded as someone much younger than me.

“Mr. Hutton, you didn't come to me just to tell me this, did you?” Amelia cocked her head to the side and looked at Benjamin curiously. She could not figure out the reason behind the sudden change in his attitude.

“Thank you,” Benjamin suddenly uttered.

Amelia was baffled.

“Why are you thanking me?”

However, he merely threw her a glance before he turned around and left.

This made Amelia even more confused.

She felt that the Huttons were quite strange. Although they look peaceful on the surface, everyone seems to be intentionally or unintentionally putting up their guard against me.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone ringing. She took it out and noticed that the caller was Tiffany.

She answered the call. “Tiff.”

“Derrick and I are currently in Saspiuburg, Babe. Which hospital are you at?” Tiffany asked straightforwardly.

Amelia figured that her best friend had probably learned about Eleanor's illness from someone, so she had purposely come over with Derrick to visit her.

“I'm on the eighth floor of Saspiuburg's Principal General Hospital. Come over now,” Amelia replied. She did not bother to ask Tiffany why she had not called her in advance.

“All right.”

After hanging up the phone, Amelia picked up the kettle and returned to the ward. Eleanor had fallen asleep again, and aside from Sean, there was no one else in the room.

“Where is everyone else, Sean?”
