Chapter 785

What happened next left Amelia no time to speculate why Stephanie was purposely trying to get on her good side.

Amelia picked up a call from Tiffany, who feebly asked her to visit the Hisson residence. That caused her heart to beat uncontrollably.

She got Jolin to send her to the Hisson residence as quickly as possible and immediately ran into the mansion.

The moment she stepped in, she saw a bunch of doctors and nurses dressed in white doing something. The uneasiness in Amelia's heart only grew stronger.

She grabbed one of the anxious maids and asked, "What happened? Where's Tiff?"

Mrs. Hisson relapsed because Ms. Tiffany angered her. Ms. Tiffany is probably in her room right now," the maid explained. After doing so, she immediately pried Amelia's hands off and ran outside in a panic to do who knows what.

Amelia felt her limbs go cold. Step by step, she walked inside and found Kate lying on the couch as a few doctors checked her pulse. Kate's face was rather pale, and her lips were tightly pursed. Her eyes were firmly shut as well, and she didn't seem to be in particularly good condition. The rest of the Hissons seemed to have grim expressions as well.

Amelia walked over to Derrick, who had a similarly grave look on his face. She asked, "Derrick, what... What exactly happened to Mrs. Hisson? Where's Tiff?"

Derrick glanced at her with a flash of exhaustion in his gaze. When he spoke, his voice was unexpectedly scratchy. “Help me go upstairs and check on Tiff, Amelia. With my mom in this state, I don't have time to check on her. Can you do it in my stead?"

She carefully observed his gaze and noticed a trace of wariness and detachment in it. Her heart couldn't help but sink, and she couldn't figure out what was going on between him and Tiffany. However, she presumed that what happened to Kate might have influenced their marriage.

There was a complicated feeling in Amelia's heart. Things were a mess with the Clintons, and right then, her best friend had encountered such a situation. There was no way the Hissons would let this slide so easily.

I don't mind if she accuses me, but she even insulted my parents. Even though my parents are quite biased toward my brother, they've always provided me with a roof over my head. My parents are already old, and there's no way I would just let someone insult them like that. Because of that, I couldn't control my words for a moment, and she ended up fainting straight away.
