Chapter 141 A Complicated Love

Tiffany echoed, “Babe, you just need to be mindful of this. Avoid attending any one-on-one meeting with him. You don’t have any feelings for him, but you can’t guarantee he feels the same way about you.”

Amelia nodded with determination whereas Tiffany kept quiet for the rest of the journey.

The ringing phone broke the silence in the car. Amelia took it out from her bag and saw that it was an incoming call from Jennifer.

When she picked it up, Jennifer’s panic-stricken voice sounded at her ear. “Amelia, is Carter with you? He escaped from the hospital. Please tell me his whereabouts if he’s with you. He hasn’t fully recovered and the doctor has advised against any vigorous movements, otherwise his condition will get worse.”

Amelia answered calmly, “He’s in my neighborhood. You can come over.” She hung up after that.

“Who’s that?”

“Jennifer.”

Tiffany cursed and then muttered, “What a nuisance!”

“Don’t get all work up by someone insignificant. It’s not worth it.” Amelia smiled faintly at her reaction.

Gritting her teeth, Tiffany complained, “I’m not angry, but I find her really annoying. Carter is indeed a jinx. Nothing good ever happens when he’s involved.”

Holding her tongue, Amelia leaned back on the passenger seat.

Tiffany was driving the car slowly, seemingly out of frustration for Carter. A journey which required only thirty to forty minutes was thwarted as she took an hour to arrive at the destination. Although Amelia could see through what Tiffany was trying to get at, she refrained herself from exposing her cheeky agenda.

When they got off the car, they saw Jennifer, Faye, and Carter engaging in an argument. Upon spotting Amelia, Faye immediately let go of Carter and dashed toward her.

Subconsciously, Tiffany stood in front of Amelia with her arms stretched out widely as a defence. “Old hag, what do you want?”

A mix of emotions flickered across Faye’s face.

It was a critical moment so Faye could only pull herself together and begged, “Amelia, please do us a favor. Please help persuade Carter to go back to the hospital. He’s still recovering. If he continues to exhaust himself, the condition of his stomach will only get worse.”

Meanwhile, Carter broke free from Jennifer’s vice-like grip and walked over toward Amelia with one hand on his stomach.

His ghastly pale face gazed at Amelia and smiled. “Hi, Amelia. You’re here.”

She felt sympathetic toward him. Tiffany’s rage disappeared into thin air when she saw his pitiful look. Then again, she still disapproved of his reckless action.

“Carter, why did you come out from the hospital when you’re still unwell?” Amelia frowned.

He beamed. “I miss you so I came over to see you.”
