Chapter 232 I Failed To Protect Her

Lucian tightly pressed his lips together, not saying a word.

"What the hell is going on, Mr. Jonny?" It was Jonny who had answered her phone. When Courtney heard that Amelia was in the hospital, she called a taxi right away.

Frightened, Shelly took a step back. She glanced at Courtney in both guilt and fright.

Jonny kept his mouth shut as well. Instead, he shot Lucian a sharp gaze as if to imply that this was all Lucian's fault.

Courtney skimmed the room, not getting an answer for a while.

She worriedly looked toward the door of the emergency room, feeling like she'd just been clawed by a cat.

"What are you doing here?" Caressing her bulging belly, she walked up to Shelly and shot her a snide look.

Shelly's face immediately reddened in guilt. She nervously stuttered, "I... I was worried about Amelia so I came here to see her..."

Courtney didn't know much about Shelly. However, she did know that Lucian had been forced to marry her when the Zhan Group was going through a crisis. She also made Amelia's life a living hell. For the life of Courtney, she couldn't understand what the hell Shelly was doing here now.

"Worried?" Courtney sneered. She continued, "You're worried that she might wake up, aren't you? Then you'd be very upset if she did, right? Because you have evil plans?"

Shelly's face turned pale in embarrassment. Hesitantly

y, "Look, Mark, it's mommy. Come on, let's cheer her up so she'll wake up soon, okay?"

Lily felt a lump form in her throat as she watched this scene unfold. She couldn't help herself as she shed a few tears, smiling to herself.

The doctor had said that Amelia's wound was already treated. However, Amelia was quite weak which was what caused her to fall into a coma. She hadn't woken up yet.

"Mark, from now on, let's work as a team. We need to watch over mommy and make sure that she eats well. We need to protect her. Look at her, she's so thin..."

Suddenly, Lucian's voice trailed off as if he couldn't bear to continue. He looked upwards in an attempt to control his emotions.

"Mr. Lucian, when Mrs. Amelia wakes up, I'll make some nutritious soup for her every day so she can build her resistance!" Lily whimpered.

Lucian merely nodded in silence.

"Mr. Lucian, I brought you some soup too. You haven't rested in two days. I don't want you to be sick when Mrs. Amelia wakes up," Lily pleaded, frowning.

Lucian hadn't eaten much in the past two days too. Even when he would force himself to eat, he couldn't bring himself to especially when he saw Amelia lying in bed.

"Okay," Lucian answered in a hoarse voice.

It was about ten in the evening when Amelia woke up. Lucian immediately grabbed a cotton swab to moisten Amelia's dry and chapped lips.
