Chapter 603 - Fear

Without waiting for a reply from Amelia, Lisa flipped her hair and walked away.

Suddenly, Amelia fell down on her knees and hit the puddles of yesterday's rain. But she didn't care anymore.

"Lisa, please help me just this once. Please get Aditya out of jail…"

Of course, Lisa didn't want to give her the slightest attention anymore. She also knew that it was better for her to stay away from women like Amelia if she didn't want to get hurt.

But hearing that pitiful voice, Lisa's heart felt like melted. She turned and saw Amelia kneeling not far from her.

Seeing that made Lisa's heart melt even more. She turned around, thought for a while, and finally walked back to her again.

As soon as Lisa was within reach, Amelia immediately grabbed both of Lisa's hands. "Lisa, please help me. Me and my son are tired, we just want Aditya to go home! I know if you can get Aditya out now, that's why I'm asking you and I'm willing to kneel before you! Please, just this once…"

The poor woman was now crying, wetting her cheeks. Just for a trash who stole another woman's money, Amelia was willing to cry and kneel in front of the very same woman her husband betrayed years ago. 

What a joke. 

Seeing this incident made Lisa realize that Amelia really loves Aditya for who he is. Even though she told her that Aditya took her money away, Amelia still seemed to be in love with the bastard.

And according to Lisa, it's a shame. A woman like Amelia shouldn't have put her heart on a jerk like Aditya. There are many other men who deserve Amelia's love out there.

Standing in front of Amelia who never stopped crying made Lisa's heart break. Deep in her heart, she pitied Amelia. As a fellow woman, Lisa regrets Amelia's choice of life.

Why should Aditya? Why not just another man?

"Do you really love a guy like Aditya? You should know that Aditya is not a good guy. If I let him go now, he'll definitely come out and drink at the nightclub with his girlfriends. I've known Aditya longer than you, so I know what he's going to do."

Lisa sighed, "I shouldn't have told you this. It's just that you should know that even though you're already married, Aditya must still have other girls out there."

"No, Aditya is not that kind of guy. I know him. He's changed! When we got married, he swore that I'm the only one in his heart. Aditya has changed. He's no longer the guy you knew."

Amelia wiped her tears with the back of her palm, "Please release Aditya from prison. Please help me just this once…"

"Sorry I can't—"

Amelia tightened her grip on Lisa's hand when she heard the rejection. She shook her head quickly and walked over to Lisa while still kneeling.

"I'll do anything. As long as you get Aditya out of jail, I'll do whatever it takes!"

Lisa forcibly released her hand from Amelia's grip and took a few steps back. She couldn't forgive Aditya and Amelia so quickly. Even Lisa herself is not sure if she can forgive Aditya's actions.

Apart from taking the money away, the man also killed her unborn child!

"I can't help you. Even though you're going to bang your head on the wall, or jump from a rooftop, I'm not going to help you and your family. I'm not as good as you think."

Lisa sighed, "I can't help you get Aditya out of prison now. I suggest you forget Aditya and find another replacement. He clearly doesn't deserve your love."

After saying that, Lisa turned around and walked away. Not long after, when she saw the light blue taxi, the woman raised her hand.

Before she got out of the car, she had ordered Oscar's private driver to go home first. 

"To the Better Life office, sir." Lisa said after she sat in the passenger seat.

Amelia wiped the tears from her cheeks roughly and watched the light blue taxi move away from her sight. She tried to stand up slowly, patted her dirty and wet jeans, and grumbled.

"Aditya is not a good guy for me?" Amelia laughed sadly, "Who the hell is she to say that to me? As if she's doing fine with that damn caucasian!"

***

In the cold and quiet office, Lisa couldn't get Amelia out of her mind. She knew that Amelia would not stand by without retaliating.

Kidnapping William….

That was Lisa's biggest fear.

Since William had been kidnapped by Surya, Lisa became restless. She couldn't keep calm every time William went to school.

Even though Lisa is in a meeting or having lunch in the afternoon, she will definitely contact Dani or Mrs. Rusminah to make sure William is okay.

Lisa knows that she has been too paranoid, anxious and always thinking of bad things. But what else could she do? 

Lisa is still traumatized and she doesn't know how long that feeling of anxiety will stay with her.

Finally, just as Lisa was really panicking, she decided to call Oscar.

"Lisa? Why did you call me?" Oscar greeted kindly from the other end of the line.

Oscar knew that she wouldn't contact him for no reason. If it weren't that important, she would have texted him instead of calling him like now.

"There's something I want to tell you. I'll be going to the hospital after this."

Oscar furrowed his brows. "Something?"

Lisa cleared her throat, "I'm still busy, I'll just go to the hospital this afternoon without William."

"Okay, okay. I will be waiting for you."

Lisa put her phone back on the table and tried to get back to work. She tried to calm herself down. 

"Amelia definitely won't leave my son alone..." Lisa muttered inwardly with a bad feeling.

Just when she felt she could go crazy because the fear was so great, she contacted someone again.

"Dani, I want you to stop working now and sit quietly in William's school parking lot. As soon as you see him coming out of the school gate, quickly get him into the car.." Lisa ordered anxiously.
