Chapter 247: Pair of Tigresses
While Matteo waited outside, Amelia quickly went to get herself checked up by a doctor. Matteo wasn’t going to take any chances with Amelia’s health, especially in her sensitive condition. What happened to Emmeline could well happen to Amelia, if she were not careful.
Thankfully, the doctor who examined her said that everything was fine, but she should refrain from feeling stressed. When Amelia heard it, she wanted to snort.
Well, if she got proof of Emmeline’s lies, she would not feel stressed.
With that in mind, she went back to the emergency room, where Matteo was still sitting with a blank look on his face. He stood up when he saw her, frantic.
"Amelia! How are things? What did the doctor say?"
"Only for me to be less stressed," Amelia said dryly.
At her words, Matteo shot the surgery room a nasty glance, clearly remembering why Amelia was stressed to begin with. Amelia tugged him back into the hard plastic seats and decided to give him a more in-depth account of all that she overheard.
What happened in the office was simply too hectic, and back then, Amelia could only summarize everything in one sentence― and Matteo himself was in disbelief and panic when he received the call.
After she finished narrating everything that had transpired, Matteo’s face had brightened imperceptibly, even as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to comfort her. He had not much love for his brother, but Amelia had enough for the both of them. She had been completely blindsided by his betrayal, and the wounds cut deep. Matteo didn’t want to downplay her feelings.
