However, it no longer works.
Now she understood.
What did it even mean if she moved in again while things were so unclear?

Would she be seen as a foster sister who refused to leave, or a burden, using old feelings to gain sympathy?
What if Ms. Jewell found out later and misunderstood everything?
That kind of humiliation–living under someone else’s roof while being doubted–was something she never wanted to experience again.
Amelia took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm and composed. “No need. The hospital is fine. The nurses are very professional, and I’m used to it. I didn’t take those two people just now seriously. They can’t affect me.”
Even to her, the excuse sounded weak and fake.
Sure enough, Mason’s expression darkened.
He held her hand, his grip tightening slightly.
“No,” he said firmly, his tone turning hard.
Confused and frustrated, Mason pressed her for an answer.
“Amelia, what are you really avoiding?
“Weren’t things fine just a little while ago?”

Amelia’s reply slipped out almost instantly, but her voice was lighter than she expected, with a hint of panic.
Her eyes dropped instinctively, avoiding his sharp gaze,
But to Mason, her hesitation and avoidance looked like guilt, and like resistance to the arrangements he had made for her.
His face darkened even more.

“Amelia.” Mason let go of her hand. “Before, I gave you too much freedom to make your own choices.
“And what did I get in return? You lying here with your leg in a cast?”
His dark eyes locked onto hers, leaving her no room to escape.

Amelia’s lips moved a few times, but in the end, she couldn’t say a single word.
It was as if all her strength had been drained away, and she lowered her head in silence.
Seeing that she finally stopped resisting, Mason knew his attitude had been too harsh, but when faced with her stubbornness, he couldn’t find a better way.
He straightened up and returned to his usual cool, distant expression, as if the aggressive man from moments ago had never existed.
“Get some rest. I’ll take care of the paperwork.”
After saying that, he left the hospital room.
In just a few hours, all the discharge procedures and medical instructions were finished.
That evening, when Amelia was pushed out of the ward in a wheelchair by a nurse, she still felt like everything was unreal.
The night was deep, and the air outside the hospital carried a slight chill.

His arms were strong and steady. Amelia’s cheek inevitably brushed against his broad chest, and his familiar scent filled her breath.
Her heart skipped a beat, her face heating up at once, and she could only stiffly turn her head
away.
The car soon pulled away from the hospital.
Amelia felt conflicted, as if she were being carried toward an unknown destination.
She felt resistant and uneasy, yet there was also a trace of comfort she didn’t want to admit.
