Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 135

After a whole day's work, Lucian was a little exhausted. Unfortunately, these trifles were even more worrying than all of his business matters.

Closing his eyes, he kept silent and tried to sort things out in his head.

"Mr. Lucian, shall I send you back to the SJ Garden now?" Eric asked tentatively.

"No. Bring me to a hotel somewhere close by." The villa was now a place that didn't have Amelia in it. Going back would just bring in too much loneliness in his heart.

If he had a choice, Lucian would have gone to the Amelia's villa in the south city just so that he could see her. But given with what had happened, he had to control himself.

Meanwhile, Amelia felt as if she had lost contact with the outside world. The only that kept her days a little less boring was when Courtney turned on the TV in the morning, watching the news about the current situation.

"Amelia, come and have a look!" Courtney cried out excitedly as she gnawed on a corn cob.

At that time, Amelia was cooking some soup. Turning the stove off, she walked to the living room curiously. "What is it?"

"Look. The An Group is really owned by someone else now," Courtney said, pointing at the TV. "Jonny has taken over the company."

A shiver ran up Amelia's spine, her eyes widening in disbelief. On the screen, Jonny was dressed in a black suit, beaming widely. There were reporters all around him, and he was answering all their questions eagerly.

"Amelia, you must be quite a catch! Both of the men vying for you are so incredible. If ever you don't end up with Lucian, you can always fall back to Jonny!" Courtney exclaimed as her eyes were firmly glued onto the screen.

'Why did Jonny do that?' Amelia thought, ignoring what Courtney had said. 'I thought he wasn't interested in the An Group...'

"Hey, why are you so quiet?" Courtney asked, waving her hand in front of Amelia's face. "Aren't you happy? This is good news for you!" Courtney turned off the TV and lightly shook Amelia's shoulder. It wasn't enough bring her out of her daze however. Then she burst into laughter, "I can't help but feel so thrilled at the thought of the old saying that the lovers finally get married..."

"You just want to be back with Kent," Amelia said as she rolled her eyes. She couldn't understand why Courtney was so excited about this.

She thought Courtney was just happy about her getting back with Kent. In reality, Courtney was actually talking about Amelia and Lucian.

Later that afternoon, Lucian received a call from the hospital that Shelly had woken up.

He was already planning to go to the hospital before he got the call. And so, right after hanging up, he immediately drove to the hospital.

As soon as he walked into the ward, the first thing he noticed was Nicholas and Fannie. With a straight face, he walked over towards them.

"Hi, Lucian," Emma moved aside and smiled politely.

Nicholas also smiled at Lucian, looking as gentle and kind as usual. In contrast, Fannie did not look as if she was too pleased to see him. "Lucian, in case you've forgotten, Shelly is your wife," she reprimanded him. "How can you be so careless!"

Narrowing his eyes, Lucian just sneered angrily at Fannie.

"Mom, please don't blame Lucian," Shelly said in a weak voice.

Immediately, Fannie looked over at Shelly with worry written all over her face. But, she then turned back to Lucian and glared at him with even more anger. "You listen to me carefully," she said, pointing a finger at him. "A woman who loves you will always forgive you for whatever wrong you might do. A woman who doesn't love you will leave you once you get into trouble."

It was obvious that Fannie was directly attacking Amelia. At last, Lucian couldn't control his anger any longer. "Wasn't Amelia the one I really chose? The person who I got married to? Did you even ever treat her as your daughter-in-law? And don't act so immaculate. You know exactly why Amelia divorced me!"

Fury surged up in Lucian's heart.

Fannie gritted her teeth as she looked at Lucian with scorn. Quickly, she turned to Nicholas, hoping that he would back her up. "Since Shelly doesn't blame Lucian, let's just leave it in the past," Nicholas said in a flat tone. "Let's maintain the good relationship between the An family and the Zhan family. Any arguments will lead to the complete ruin of our harmony."

Hearing this, Fannie squinted her eyes in disbelief.

"Nicholas is right. Let's just pretend this never happened." Emma nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Shelly looked at Emma with resentment, endlessly cursing in her heart.

"Emma, I'm just trying to defend your daughter. So what now? Are you telling me I got into all that trouble for nothing?" Fannie sneered coldly.

"You know me better than that, Fannie. We have been friends for so many years after all," Emma hurriedly explained.

Crossing her arms over her chest, Fannie raised her eyebrow at Emma. "Maybe you should accept the fact that you're just docile, Emma," she snapped back.
