Why did he always miss his chance with Emma? She had already married Liam by the time she returned this time, not even giving him a moment to express his feelings or recover.
If Liam wasn't good to Emma, he would make the Williams family repay her double, giving her a stable life and all his love.
But these thoughts and words could only be pressed deep in his heart. He was also worried that speaking them out loud would scare away the girl he had loved since childhood, eventually leading to them not even being friends.
Emma couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to see the lost look in Elijah's eyes. She took the millet porridge, put on a straw, and drank it.
"Hiss..." The heat almost made her cry out. Elijah nervously rushed to Emma's front. "What's wrong? Is it too hot?"
Emma closed her eyes and swallowed the burning sensation in her throat.
She took a breath and exhaled it onto her burning face.
"It's a little hot. You should go home early and rest. I'll finish eating and drinking in a minute."
She was genuinely worried that Liam would suddenly appear and misunderstand that she had something to do with Elijah again!
Emilia also noticed and waved toward Elijah. "Doctor Clark, don't worry. I can supervise."
Emma nodded like a bobblehead. Elijah saw this and had to nod. "Call me if anything happens." With that, he made a calling gesture, and Emma chuckled softly.
Watching Elijah's back as he left the ward, Emma couldn't help but start to look forward to it. Liam...
Damn it, why did she find him so annoying yet still want to see him?
Windsor Manor.
Liam took off his coat and headed to the second floor, nearly colliding with Amelia, who was just coming downstairs.
Seeing the complicated expression on Liam's face, which still seemed angry, Amelia hesitated and said, "Brother, did you just get off work?"
Liam restrained his emotions, forcing a stiff smile onto his face, and replied lightly, "Yeah."
Amelia's heart was full of twists and turns. In truth, he didn't love his sister-in-law as much as she had imagined. Otherwise, why wouldn't he go directly to the hospital after work?
Thinking of this, Amelia felt very pleased. She twirled in front of Liam and said, "Brother, how do you like my dress today?"
The lavender princess dress perfectly matched Amelia's temperament, but Liam had no interest.
"Good," he said, his tone languid.
Amelia pretended not to notice all of Liam's listless emotions. "I was just about to visit my sister-in-law in the hospital. Since you just got off work, shall we go together later?"
Liam's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Amelia, there are still some things to deal with at the company. Go with me!"
Benjamin leaned lazily on the sofa. He had noticed that Amelia had been downstairs for a long time. He hadn't expected that his brother would go straight upstairs without a word when he came home. It seemed he had been in conflict with his sister-in-law again.
Amelia didn't notice Benjamin sitting in the hall. She said, "I don't have time to go with you. I'll wait for you to finish your work and go with me."
"Yes." Liam turned sideways to go upstairs, but the next second, Amelia tightly grabbed his arm. Amelia worried, "Brother, what's wrong with your face?"
The area near her ear root was clearly swollen. If it hadn't been for Liam's slight movement, she wouldn't have noticed it.
Liam continued walking up the stairs carelessly. "It's fine. I accidentally bumped into something."
During the fight with Elijah, it wasn't hard for him to notice that Elijah had no real strength at all. This might have been due to Emma's presence.
So, had he accurately found Elijah's weak spot?
Did Elijah care so much about Emma? What about Emma's feelings for Elijah? Damn it!
With a sneer, Liam threw his clothes onto the bed in the bedroom. Every inch of the room was filled with Emma's smile.
He opened a bottle of wine and sipped it.
Amelia appeared at the door of Liam's bedroom with a medicine box. When she saw him like this, she was shocked.
Before she had willfully left home and gone abroad, she had never seen Liam like this. Was it related to Emma?
In other words, her brother still cared about Emma.
Just thinking about it made her heart clatter. She almost rushed in and snatched the bottle from Liam's hand. "Brother, let me put some medicine on your face."
Liam held out his hand and said with a black face, "Go away, give me the wine."
"..." Amelia was stunned, then immediately threw the bottle on the ground, almost in tears.
Liam raised his hand and knocked over the medicine box in Amelia's hand. All the first-aid medicine inside scattered all over the ground.
"Get out!" Liam looked up at Amelia. "I don't want to say it again!"
Benjamin, who was in the hall on the first floor, couldn't ignore the noise. He rushed up to the second floor and carefully guarded Amelia behind him. He looked at Liam with concern. "Brother, don't be angry!"
Liam glared at him and shouted, "Is the general manager of Las Vegas Entertainment City very busy?"
"Madman!" Benjamin murmured under his breath, took Amelia out of the door, and held her hand. "Amelia, are you okay?"
Amelia shook her head. In the long years before, her shallow thoughts had been buried in one person. Liam hadn't understood it, but Benjamin had seen it thoroughly.
The two left Liam's room. Amelia felt uncomfortable. "Second brother, accompany me for a walk in the garden."
"Okay."
As long as Amelia made a request, Benjamin would promise unconditionally, but she never seemed to ask him to do anything.
Benjamin took off his coat and put it on Amelia. He repressed other emotions and said as an elder brother, "Don't catch a cold."
Amelia wanted to say thank you, but she couldn't. She said with a smile, "Second brother, did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?"
The hurt in Benjamin's eyes was obvious, and it reached the bottom of his heart.
For so many years, her eyes had been following the elder brother. Even when she was alone with him, she talked most about the elder brother.
Benjamin stepped down. "I don't know."
Even if they quarreled, it was none of their business. It was normal for couples to quarrel.
But Amelia's concern crossed the boundary of propriety.
"My sister-in-law just had a car accident. How could she quarrel with my brother? Elder brother isn't willing to say a single extra word..."
Benjamin took a sharp breath and raised his voice. "You..." He paused, then put out his arrogance again. "Why do you care so much about my elder brother and sister-in-law today?"
"No, just asking." Amelia immediately avoided, and finally added, "Will you go to the hospital with my elder brother to visit my sister-in-law?"
Benjamin didn't answer. He pursed his lower lip and suddenly remembered Amelia's reaction on the day of Emma's car accident. His mind was full of thoughts again.
Was the accident really related to Amelia?
