Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 55

**TITLE: Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah**
**Chapter 55**

In the depths of my heart, I yearned for Eve’s soothing words to be enough to silence the storm raging within me. Yet, the flicker of anxiety in her eyes was like a shadow that refused to dissipate, a haunting reminder of the weight we both carried. It was as if her unease wrapped around her like a heavy cloak, revealing the cracks in her brave exterior.

As the hours passed, I felt a tumult of emotions—excitement and fear danced a chaotic waltz within me as I approached the study. My thoughts were consumed by Lillian, the former healer whose wisdom I hoped would illuminate my path. Jake had just dropped me off, and an exhilarating thrill coursed through my veins at the thought of sharing my journey with someone who understood the burdens and joys of healing.

“Amelia?” Lillian’s gentle voice broke through the haze of my thoughts, pulling me back to the present. She looked up from the clutter of papers strewn across her desk, her expression radiating warmth and kindness.

“Is it true that you were a healer?” I couldn’t help but ask, curiosity bubbling up like a wellspring.

Her smile was like sunlight breaking through a cloudy sky, bright and inviting. “Ah, those days feel like a distant memory, almost like a dream. Did Eve mention that to you?”

“I’m her apprentice now,” I declared, pride swelling within me like a balloon on the verge of bursting. The words felt empowering as they left my lips.

“I’ve heard the news, and it fills me with such joy! She does try to guide Sienna too, but…” Lillian’s smile faltered, a fleeting shadow of sadness crossing her face, though she fought valiantly to keep her cheerful demeanor intact. “Tell me everything about your first day. I’m all ears.”

I settled beside her on the couch, the familiar comfort of her presence wrapping around me like a cozy blanket on a chilly evening. As I began to share tales from my day, I carefully omitted the doubts that had crept into my mind, focusing instead on the technical aspects of procedures and protocols. I was determined to uphold the integrity of our profession, to prove that I belonged.

I briefly mentioned Sienna, noting that she seemed to be managing alright, but I tactfully avoided any mention of our tense encounter. Lillian appeared genuinely interested in my update, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she leaned in closer.

“I used to cherish my time at the hospital,” she reminisced, her voice tinged with nostalgia. “There was something profoundly rewarding about helping and healing those in need. Of course, not every moment was filled with joy, but the good times made the struggles worthwhile. Eve and I, we persevered. We never allowed ourselves to give up.”

In that moment, an invisible thread seemed to weave us closer together, binding our shared experiences and aspirations. I felt a powerful sense of kinship with Lillian; her passion mirrored my own, filling me with a sense of belonging that I had longed for.

“Lillian,” I began, hesitating for just a moment as I gathered my thoughts. The weight of what I wanted to say pressed heavily on me.

“Hm?” she replied, her full attention on me, a gentle smile still dancing on her lips.

“I’m scheduled for an ultrasound,” I said, my voice steady yet laced with an undercurrent of concern. “Eve and I were discussing having it done tomorrow, just to check on the baby after everything that’s happened. Would you like to join me?”

**Sienna’s POV**

The mere thought of Amelia filled me with an all-consuming loathing. I detested every single aspect of her existence. It felt as though she had wormed her way into our lives, charming everyone around her as if under some enchanting spell. And now, she had the audacity to encroach upon my territory at the hospital?

It was as if she was trying to commandeer my entire life!
