Chapter 542 What A Small World

Throughout the night, Amelia tossed and turned in bed because of Kurt. She occasionally dreamt while being half-asleep, and it felt as if she was watching Kurt being brutally murdered at Anglandur. Waking with a jolt, she found herself drenched in a cold sweat.

Amelia wiped off the beads of sweat on her forehead and found Oscar deep asleep when she turned over. She looked at her phone and realized that it was only half-past four. Worried, she got out of bed and gave Kurt another ring.

Kurt answered her call almost immediately, to which Amelia warned, “Kurt, it’s me. Be careful as someone intends to make your stay in Anglandur forever.”

Unable to rein in the exhilaration coursing through him, Kurt asked, “Amelia, are you concerned about me?”

“Kurt, stop with your nonsense. Just be extra careful. I’m ending the call now. Remember my words. Someone intends to harm you, and it might be someone around you, so please be careful.” With that, Amelia hastily hung up the phone.

 

When she opened the bathroom door, she was so startled at the sight of Oscar right by the door that she nearly dropped her phone.

Gulping nervously, Amelia stammered with a hint of guilt, “Oscar, you’re a-awake? Did I wake you up?”

 

Oscar only cast a glance at her before turning around.

Amelia’s heart sank as she immediately hurried after him and whispered, “I’m sorry, Oscar.”

Remaining unresponsive to Amelia, Oscar lay on the bed and shut his eyes.

While crouching by the bedside, Amelia reached out and stroked Oscar’s stubble, murmuring, “Oscar, I’m sorry. I don’t mean it. It’s just that Kurt has helped me out before, so I can’t just sit by and watch him die. As a Chanaean, it will be a torment for him to be stuck in a foreign country. Since I’m aware of the danger that he’ll face, it’s impossible for me to do nothing about it.”

Oscar remained in a sullen silence with his eyes closed.

At the sight of this, Amelia furrowed her brows while her heart churned. She only wanted to help Kurt and did not expect that it would affect the relationship between her and Oscar.

“Oscar, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. That call to Kurt doesn’t mean anything, so please don’t get me wrong.”

Again, Oscar remained silent.

Straightening her body, Amelia leaned her head against Oscar’s body gently and muttered, “Oscar, say something. Your frosty attitude is breaking my heart.”

With that, Oscar finally opened his eyes and stared at Amelia impassively. He said flatly, “Amelia, have you fallen in love with Kurt?”

Amelia shot up and gaped at Oscar, her eyes widening in disbelief.

She gritted her teeth. “What did… what did you say?”

Oscar repeated, “Have you fallen in love with Kurt?”
