Chapter 252: Handing It In
"Aiden’s here. He says he’s got the goods," Matteo said with a surprised tone as his phone beeped with a new message.
He sighed regretfully― he was happily cuddling Amelia on the couch, but his half-brother’s sense of timing was still as terrible as ever.
Amelia raised her eyebrow.
"So quickly? I thought I would hear about a madman breaking into the hospital on the news," Amelia confessed frankly.
Ronan and Matteo had informed Amelia about the little deal they made with Aiden a few days ago.
At that time, Amelia had to take a moment to laugh at the incredulity of it all. She could imagine Aiden sneaking into the hospital, dressed entirely in black with a face mask on as he wielded a syringe and stabbed it into Emmeline’s veins, waking her from her slumber.
"He has a lot of incentive to do what we say," Matteo said with a brief smile as he pressed a kiss onto Amelia’s lips. "He can’t bear to live with your anger and indifference. This is the bare minimum he should do to make up for all the hurt he caused."
Amelia sighed. She had to grapple with her changing feelings for Aiden in the past few days. One moment she was furious with him, and the next she was disappointed. Then she was upset at his decisions, then she missed him and his cheerful humor. It was a mess that she would attribute to pregnancy hormones. Thankfully, Matteo had been nothing but understanding.
"You’re right. But I do hope he turns over a new leaf."
