Chapter 701
She did not have much time left, and she didn’t want to waste the limited time on getting treatment. She just wanted to spend more time with her mother and son. “I know. I’m mentally prepared. Please increase the dosage of painkillers for me. Lately, it has been hurting a little bit more sometimes,” Amelia said.
The attending physician sighed. He understood Amelia’s choice, but what surprised him was Amelia’s calmness in facing death.
He had seen many patients before. Once they knew they were nearing the end of their lives, they would always try their best to seize any possibility of continuing to live.
Even those who had no money to get treatment would crack their heads asking for any way to prolong their lives, and they would be unwilling to accept the situation.
Patients as calm as Amelia were extremely rare.
However, such people often carried heavy pasts.
“Okay, I’ll increase your dosage. However, this kind of medicine should not be taken in large amounts. If you take too much, you will develop a greater resistance to it. Later, what could happen is that even if you increase your dosage, it might not help with the pain anymore and will even exacerbate the condition of the cancer,” the doctor said.
“I understand. Thank you,” Amelia replied.
After getting the medicine, Amelia was about to leave the hospital when she received a call from her mother. On the phone, her mother’s voice sounded very anxious. “Amelia, what should we do? Aiden… H-He was taken away by someone from the Fletcher family!”
Amelia was stunned. “What did you say? The Fletcher family?”
“Yes, the teacher of the kindergarten said that Aiden was picked up by someone from the Fletcher family. Irene came in person and said that she was Aiden’s stepmother and wanted to bring Aiden to see his daddy. The Fletcher family had also come to meet the head of the kindergarten, so the teachers couldn’t stop her,” Matilda said hurriedly.
At this moment, Matilda was panicking.
Amelia could only comfort her, “Mom, don’t worry. I… I’ll go get Aiden.”
“Okay! I hope Aiden is safe and sound! Why didn’t I pick him up earlier? If I had been there earlier, such a thing wouldn’t have happened,” Matilda kept blaming herself.
After comforting her mother for a while, Amelia hurriedly ended the call. What mattered most at that moment was to find Aiden as soon as possible.

Just then, her phone rang again. It was a call from an unknown number.
But when Amelia answered the call, she heard Irene’s voice coming from her phone. “Amelia, Aiden is with me now.”
“What do you want to do with my son?” Amelia asked anxiously.
“He is Warren’s son, and I will be his stepmother in the future. Of course, I need to build some rapport with him. If you want to see your son, come here yourself.”
After saying that, Irene gave Amelia an address and the number of a private room.
Amelia hesitated. If the Fletcher family really wanted to hurt Aiden, it was unlikely that they would choose such a place.
Amelia knew about that restaurant. She also knew that it was just an ordinary restaurant, not one that prominent figures liked to go to.
“What does the Fletcher family want?” Amelia wondered. However, no matter what the answer of the Fletcher family was, she had to pick up Aiden at once. In any case, she was worried about Aiden being in the hands of the Fletcher family.
As soon as Amelia finished the call, she rushed out of the hospital and took a taxi to the restaurant.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Amelia came to Irene’s private room. As soon as she opened the door of the room, she saw Thomas, Ivy, Irene, and Aiden in the
room.
In addition, there were some people who looked like the subordinates of the Fletcher family. They stood at the side, looking intimidating.
Aiden sat at the table, where many delicious food and toys were placed. However, he didn’t touch them but just sat quietly.
When he saw Amelia coming in, a smile finally appeared on the little boy’s
gloomy face. He quickly jumped out of the chair and ran to Amelia. “Mommy!”
Amelia hugged her son and made sure that he wasn’t hurt before she felt relieved. “All right! I’m here! Let’s go.”
“But they said they brought me here to wait for Daddy!” said Aiden in a low voice. It was also because he wanted to see his father that he had followed them here.
Last time, he went to the amusement park with his father, but he fell asleep in the car. He ended up not saying goodbye to his father, which he regretted immensely. Amelia bit her lip slightly and said, “Would you like to see Daddy another time? Let’s go back first. Granny is very worried, as she didn’t see you at the kindergarten today earlier.”
Hearing this, Aiden was also anxious. He nodded and decided to go back with Amélia first.
Amelia held the boy’s hand, but before she reached the door of the private room,

she was stopped by the two subordinates of the Fletcher family.
