Chapter 573 Ulterior Motive

“Mrs. Hutton, of course, I’m worried about you. Otherwise, why would I take the flight and come all the way here with Oscar to visit you when I heard you were in trouble? I’d be at ease as long as you’re fine,” Amelia said.

Finally, a bright smile appeared on Eleanor’s face before she embraced Amelia. She choked up and said, “Lia, I’m so happy to hear you say that. I’m planning on getting a divorce. After that, I’ll stay with you and help you raise your child.”

Amelia froze and wiggled out of Eleanor’s embrace while concealing her emotions. “Mrs. Hutton, do you mind telling me what happened just now?”

Eleanor smoothed her hair and answered, “Oh, that was nothing. I thought that little girl was sent by my husband when she came in. That’s why I was a bit startled. Please apologize to her on my behalf, okay? I didn’t purposely vent my anger at her.”

“It’s okay, Mrs. Hutton. I’m sure she’ll understand.” Amelia flashed a gentle smile.

Eleanor nodded and said nothing more.

After keeping Eleanor company for a couple of days, Amelia got a few doctors to check on Eleanor. The doctors told her Eleanor was fine. As for her mental health, she would need to see a psychiatrist.

Amelia nodded. “Thank you, doctors.”

The doctors exchanged pleasantries before leaving the premise with their medical kits.

“Mrs. Hutton, I’m told that you’re fine. I think you ought to return to the Hutton residence, don’t you think so? Since you haven’t divorced Mr. Hutton, I think you’d have to head home,” Amelia said.

Suddenly, both Eleanor’s body and expression stiffened when she heard that.

Amelia asked worriedly, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Hutton?”

Eleanor forced a smile and answered, “Lia, I don’t want to go back to the Hutton residence. I don’t think I have anything to say to him because I don’t see us as a married couple anymore. I’ll get my lawyer to deal with him regarding the divorce. Since you’re my eldest daughter, I’ll follow you around for the rest of my life.”

It was then Amelia’s turn to have her expression stiffened. “Mrs. Hutton, please stop being angry. Mr. Hutton and you have been married for so many years. You can’t possibly divorce him just because you’re angry at him, right?” Amelia tried her best to persuade Eleanor.

Eleanor’s face slightly darkened. She then looked at Amelia plaintively and asked, “Lia, don’t you want to acknowledge me as your mom?”
