Amelia was frightened by Fiona’s actions. She knew that Fiona and Lochlan didn’t treat Sapphire well but she didn’t expect that she should be so violent to her. She threw everything she could have to Sapphire. She must have suffered a lot. Amelia had heard what Fiona just said. It was too late to stop her. She rushed to Sapphire, held her belly and was hit by Fiona since she didn’t want Sapphire’s baby to be hurt.
“Amelia! Are you Ok?” It was much more painful for her to see Amelia was attacked. She held Amelia hurriedly and asked, “Do you feel very painful? I will take you to the hospital now.”“Get away. It’s none of your business. She is my daughter-in-law. I can do anything to her. If you want to protect her, I will also hit you.” Fiona stood with her hands on her hips and spot on the ground. She was so arrogant.
“Sapphire came here for me. Why do you slander her?” Amelia stood straight and shielded Sapphire behind her and said coldly to Fiona, “Although she is your daughter-in-law, you can’t do this to her.”
“Son of bitch!” Fiona looked at her with contempt, “She is just a bitch who betrayed my son. I can do whatever I want to her. She won't even let my son touch her, but she is pregnant with another man. She made my son lose his face. Since she is shameless, she should pay the price!”
Amelia subconsciously grabbed Sapphire's hand to prevent her from leaving her, but she still let go of her hand.
Sapphire gently shook her head at her, "Amelia, hurry up and go back. I can't leave my grandma alone!"
Amelia did not want her to go back with Fiona to suffer. She knew that the child in her belly should be Preston's. Sapphire loved him so much and she surely didn't want to lose this child. Fiona was so vicious and unreasonable. How could she keep this child if she went back with her? But she couldn't be selfish and hurt Sapphire's grandma.
“Sapphire…”
“Don't worry. I will take good care of myself.”Sapphire restrained her sorrow and said softly to Amelia, "You must also take good care of yourself. We must all be well. We still have a long way to go!"
After saying these words, she quickly walked towards Fiona. Fiona grabbed her by the hair and fiercely pushed her forward. She grabbed her and cursed as they walked forward.
Looking at Sapphire being bullied by a shrew, Amelia's tears slipped silently down. They were really helpless. They couldn't even control their own destiny. They were like pathetic ants, rolling in the dust, and they could only let others slaughter them. Amelia wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. She wanted to dominate her own destiny. She wanted to protect those she cared about. She wanted to make those who had hurt her, all pay the price.
