Chapter 1526 She was his belief
Amelia glanced at her wristwatch subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief. “I talked to him, and he agreed to let
me accompany you.”
Depression patients didn’t need advice or warnings, they just needed company. Even if the one who companied them didn’t speak, simply being there silently could make them feel better.
Amelia believed that it was her that he could finally find hope. Only in this way could he be saved, and she could also atone for the guilt buried deep in her heart.
When Ryan heard that Amelia and James had discussed this, his smile faded and turned bitter. “Amelia, I have Nora, Zoey, my father, and healthcare professionals at home. I really don’t need your company.”
He always had a sense of justice, and even though he wanted Amelia to be by his side, he refused in order to not ruin her marriage.
They said absence made the heart grow fonder. If they saw each other every day and spent time together, who could control the blossoming feelings?
He didn’t think Amelia would do anything, but he was afraid
that he wouldn’t be able to control himself.
His lifelong obsession was her, so how could he not long for
her when she was so close?
After being rejected, Amelia’s grip on the teacup tightened slightly. She knew Ryan was afraid of putting her in a difficult
situation, which was why he refused her.
But severe depression was a terminal illness, it really could lead one to death. She didn’t want to wake up one day in
Arcadia and hear the news of his death, she would feel
incredibly guilty for retreating at this moment.
“Ryan, I know what you’re worried about, but I still want to help you.” She clenched her hand and rubbed her palm a few times before speaking. “Even though our feelings have faded, you have always been an important person in my heart. You have worked hard to support me since I was young, and I will always remember your kindness. I don’t want depression to torment you, I just want you to live a good life, because…”
At this point, Amelia took a deep breath and looked into Ryan’s eyes, tears streaming down her face. “Only when you are alive does the first half of my life have meaning.”
Ryan was the one who gave her the first half of her life, how could she easily forget? Her tears, like boiling water, hit Ryan’s
