Reborn Without You (Amelia and Christopher) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Amelia headed straight to Northon Central Hospital.

Nathan was seated next to the bed, his legs perched up on the chair while playing with a toy airplane. Nicole was playing along with him, while Christopher sat on the other side, his face expressionless.

They didn’t seem to care about Evelyn at all.

Christopher’s attention was drawn to Amelia when she entered the ward.

Amelia saw Evelyn’s tiny body lying on the bed. Rushing to the bedside, she saw how pale Evelyn’s face was.

The scene from her past life flashed past her mind, juxtaposed against the scene right before her. Panicked, blood drained from her face.

She held Evelyn’s hand with trembling hands, tears welling up in her eyes as she asked shakily, “Doctor! Where’s the doctor?”

“The doctor said she’s fine. Her temperature is going down,” Christopher said flatly.

“Mrs. Zephyr,” Nicole said as she stood up and noticed Amelia’s trembling body. “Don’t panic. Evelyn was just frightened and caught a cold. We sent her to the hospital immediately. She’s too weak and delicate, and she was very frightened during the rock-climbing session and accidentally fell off. Thankfully, she’s not badly injured.”

Amelia glared at Nicole.

“Were you the one who brought my daughter rock-climbing?”

Nicole didn’t think she was in the wrong.

“What’s wrong? A girl can try all sorts of things as well. There’s no need to stop her from trying new things. I heard that Evelyn was always stopped from doing the things that Nathan could try. My heart ached for her when I heard about that.”

Amelia couldn’t stop her body from shaking.

The Zephyrs have always insisted that Evelyn be raised as a well-bred woman, educated and sophisticated in manners, gentle and obedient in nature.

Yet now, they allowed Nicole to take Evelyn out for such a dangerous activity.

Evelyn had always had a fear of heights.

What a joke!

Amelia stood up and slapped Nicole hard.

Nicole’s head swung to the side. Amelia had slapped her so hard, harder than before, that she felt her ears buzzing. Her cheek felt red-hot and almost numb.

“Amelia,” Christopher said coldly as he pulled Nicole behind him. “Why kick up such a fuss in the hospital?”

Nicole held her cheek with a hand and said, “It’s fine, Chris. Don’t be fierce to Mrs. Zephyr. She’s just worried

about Evelyn and is very emotional right now.”

Her cheek was quickly swelling up.

“I’ll get you an ice pack,” Christopher said, his face turning dark with displeasure.

He then brought Nicole out of the ward. He didn’t seem to care about the mood that Amelia was in right now.

Amelia’s body was still trembling.

Her mind went blank the moment she heard about Evelyn running a temperature. Fear crept in uncontrollably. She felt herself falling into a deep, dark abyss of uncertainty.

She didn’t know how she even made it to the hospital. She was so worried that history might repeat itself.

She was worried about losing her daughter again.

“Chris, don’t get too mad. Mrs. Zephyr only did it in a fit of anger,” Nicole said.

She pursed her lips.

“But Mrs. Zephyr has been rather emotional lately. It’s inevitable for children to get injured when they play. Nathan is always injuring himself. She’s making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Then, Nicole made a suggestion.

“I think her daughter is too sheltered. Evelyn doesn’t even speak much, and she’s so timid. Why don’t you let me raise her so that I can expose her to more novel things? It’ll be a good break for Mrs. Zephyr, too.” 1

Christopher looked at her cheek. “I’ll do a cold compress on your cheek.”

Nicole pursed her lips. “Don’t fight with Mrs. Zephyr for my sake. I know you care for me, but I’m fine, really…”

Christopher nodded.

Just then, a nurse came by to take Nicole somewhere to treat her wound.

Christopher turned around, his brows furrowed. The moment he turned around, he bumped into Amelia.

His eyes dimmed as he questioned her, “Why do you keep hitting Nicole?”

His voice was calm and almost flat, but Amelia could hear an accusatory tone in it.

Amelia scoffed inwardly. Why?

What a joke!

She had heard what Nicole said earlier.

That woman wanted to raise Evelyn. Dream on!

She looked coldly at Christopher and flung the divorce petition in his face. The papers scattered on the floor.

Christopher looked coldly back at her, ignoring the papers on the floor.

The air around them seemed to freeze.

Amelia moved her lips, about to say something.

However, he beat her to it.

“Amelia, let’s get a divorce.”
