On bthe /bbway /bbto /bbhis /bbpany/bb, /bLandon wondered, “Who was that mysterious buyer? He must have great discernmentb, /bbbut /bhe bdidn’t /bdare to show his face to

“Mr. bKingsley/bb, /bCarlo left Pinecrest years ago. ording to our investigation, he’s now the leader of a gang. He’s currently on vacation babroad/bb, /bband /bbI /bcan’t breach /bhim,” Aaron reported.

The leader of ba /bgang? Landon’s eyebrows furrowed as things becameplicated. “Aaron, keep an eye on him.”

b“/bGot you!” Aaron replied.

At the Kingsley Group, Amelia found Landon absent when she raised her head behind a pile of documents.

“Again, he left to have ba /bgood time, and let me toil here,” Amelia sighed. Then, she picked up another document. How pathetic that her lover became her bossb! /b

“Amy.” Gloria arrived.

Amelia quickly set aside her work and stood up. “Gloria, what brings you here?”

“Come, I am taking you somewhere,” Gloria said with a mysterious smile, and there was kindness on her once–pretty face.

“Where?”

“You’ll soon know.” Gloria decisively pulled Amelia away.

“Aaron, Landon isn’t here, so I need to give him a call first…”

“No. You don’t have to.”

Amelia felt speechless. The limo stopped in a shabby alley while Amelia thought that Gloria wanted to do some shopping.

After one nce, at the signboard at the door, Amelia failed to force a smile as her heart sank. “Gloria…”

“Amy, Dr. Jaden Cameron is an outstanding doctor. He is an expert on sterility. Let him check on you first.” With a pang of unease, Gloria had a benign

smile on her face.

ording to the news from ine, Amelia’s case was incurable. Gloria was stubborn and didn’t believe that her dear daughter–inw was sterile.

Amelia’s smile froze. “Gloria, you know, don’t you?”

“Yes.” Gloria held Amelia’s hand. “Don’t worry. I am here with you. Be patient. You will be cured.”

Again, despair got Amelia. Gloria didn’t mean ill, but Amelia couldn’t bear children anyway.

“Come in, Amy.” Gloria pulled Amelia into the small clinic.

Jaden was more than 70 years old, and both his hair and beard were gray. He looked benign.

“Dr. Cameron, this is my daughter–inw. Please help her.” Speaking, Gloria pushed Amelia into ba /bchair.

Amelia forced a polite smile and said, “Dr. Cameron.” Jaden checked on Amelia. Soon, his eyebrows furrowed.

Gloria’s heart tightened with agitation. The smile disappeared from Gloria’s face. “Dr. Cameron, how is she?b” /b

bAmelia /bmanaged to force a faint smile. “Thanks, Dr. Cameron.b” /b

b“/bTake it easy. Given advanced technology nowadays, there are other options,” Jaden said.

Gloria was on the verge of tears. “Oh, my poor Amy!”

Amelia’s throat constricted. Yes, how pathetic Amelia was! She had a miserable past. Now, she found her love, but she couldn’t bear children.

She felt guilty before Gloria even if Landon didn’t mind.

Back in the car, Gloria forced a smile andforted Amelia, “Don’t worry, dear. We’ll find other experts.”

“No, Gloria.” Amelia lowered her head. “Just tell me if you mind…”

Gloria fell silent. Of course, she minded. Her daughter had been missing for years, and she didn’t know whether her daughter was still alive.

In other words, she had only one child now. She was anxious

to have

grandchildren.

She couldn’t drive Amelia away because the Kingsley family held ountable for Amelia’s sterility. The only solution for her was to find a good doctor to cure Amelia.

“Amy, I like you, so don’t give up, okay?” Gloria pleaded.

“Gloria, my case is hopeless…”

“You will never know unless you try. For my sake, don’t give up, okay? I will look some good doctors for you. Don’t worry.”

“Gloria…”

“Amy, I like you very much.” Gloria sobbed. “In fact, I have a daughter, but Ka…”

Amelia was astounded because Gloria took the initiative to talk about Ka.

A–A

“Ka is missing… I don’t know whether she is still alive… I see you as my daughter after you marry into the Kingsley family…” Gloria said.

That was why Gloria was so nice to Amelia.

“Gloria, you have my word that I won’t give up.” Moved, Amelia embraced Gloria.

“My good girl…” Gloria held Amelia, and tears streamed down their faces.

Back in his office, Landon found Amelia’s eyes réd and swollen. Instantly, his face darkened. “Honey, what happened?”

“Nothing.” Amelia shook her head with ba /bgentle smile, and her gaze was as soft as the spring water. She felt grateful that she had ba /bgood bhusband /bband /bba /bgreat mother–inw.”

“Your eyes are all red and swollen!” Landon fixed his gaze on Amelia. “Who made things difficult for youb?/bb” /b

“Nobody.” Smiling, Amelia crouched down before Landon, held his hand, and caressed it. “Dear, I want to see the doctor in case there is hope.”

b“/bNo,” Landon said without hesitation. He hated seeing Amelia suffer. He was clear that her bcase /bwas hopeless because Patrick’s poison was bpotent/b.

b“/bbDear /bbJust /bblet /bbme /bbfry/bb, /bbokay/bb?/bb” /bAme bshook /bbLandon’s /bhand bcoquetlishly/bb. /b

“bHoney/bb, /bbI /bbdon’t /bbmind/bb. /bbWhy /bbdo /bbyou /bcause trouble for yourselfb?/b”

“Because… bI /bwant bto /bbear children for you,” Amelia’s cheeks turned red with shyness. Amelia lied because she couldn’t get Gloria exported.

“Wellb… /bLandon stared at Amelia’s red face and was tempted to caress it.

Amelia’s face was smooth and tender… Landon felt seduced. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his voice became hoarse. “Honey, may b17/bb” /b

b“/bNob, /bnob, /bno…” Amelia quickly withdrew her hand after she came back to her senses. Her face was burning hot.

b“/bTomorrow?” Landon was pushy, and he didn’t bother to hide his desire.

“You… What’s wrong with you?” Blushing, Amelia stomped her feet.

b“/bWhat did I do?”

“Well, be patient. Take it slow…”

Landon gazed at Amelia thoughtfully. “Didn’t you just say you wanted to bear my children?”

Didn’t Amelia imply sex since she was sterile now? Landon would love to help,

as her husband.
