Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 386

Desmond said quietly, "Believe me, Ms. Taylor. I won't harm you."

He hoped that his master could somehow fall in love with Amelia, then Amelia would become their master's wife in the future.

As such, he did his best to be a kind person so that his master's future wife wouldn't hold a grudge against him.

Amelia reached out and took the bottle, shaking a few tablets out. Then, she took a whiff of the tablets. They had a sweet scent to them, which resembled those calcium tablets made to taste like candy.

"Are they really calcium tablets?"

"Please believe me, Ms. Taylor. They are definitely calcium tablets."

Half-believing him, Amelia took one tablet. It tasted sweet.

"Eat a few more, then I'll have someone escort you out. You just have to cooperate and act your part, Ms. Taylor."

Amelia nodded repeatedly.

She ate a few more calcium tablets, then covered her stomach on purpose, acting like she was in pain. She even reminded Desmond, "Remember to give me back my bag."

Desmond said, "I may not be able to guarantee that, Ms. Taylor. Your bag is in Master's hands."

Amelia glared at him. He had given her hope, only to let her down again.

"Joshua," Desmond called.

Joshua came in soon after. With a grave face, Desmond then ordered, "Escort her out. She took some laxatives, and Master doesn't want her soiling the floors."

Joshua moved swiftly, and he only took a few steps forward before grabbing Amelia's hand and leaving.

"Joshua!"

Desmond hastily slapped Joshua's hand away and glared at the latter, saying, "Ms. Taylor is having a stomachache now. Master only said to escort her out, so treat her better instead of this brash behavior."

Joshua pursed his lips, then gestured politely for Amelia to leave.

Holding the bottle of calcium tablets in her hand and covering her stomach, Amelia put on a troubled expression on her pretty face. "Desmond, can I go to the bathroom first before leaving?"

"No, Master asks that you leave immediately. If you really can't hold it in, then that's too bad."

Amelia said in great pain, "Please have mercy, Desmond. Please."

"Ms. Taylor, please leave immediately, or I'll throw you out right now." Joshua was a brash person, and he didn't possess the courtesy Desmond did as he spoke quite rudely.

Judging that it was enough acting, Amelia hastily went out, holding her tummy while shouting in pain.

Desmond only had to turn around and look up to catch sight of him.

"Master, Ms. Taylor has left after taking the laxatives."

Desmond lied calmly.

Frank sneered. "Desmond, since you've been working for us for a long time and have been so faithful to me, I won't punish you this time. I hope there won't be a second time, or you won't have to stay with me anymore. You may go back to the main house and serve the elders instead."

Desmond's expression turned sharp.

Does he know everything?

"That woman acted quite the part. It's a pity that she's not an actress."

Frank's words had a hint of mockery to them.

Desmond lowered his head, not daring to speak.

He did this for his master's own good, after all.

"Get lost!"

"Understood."

Desmond hastily left.

After being escorted out of the Mendelson Residence, Amelia immediately ran for her life.

After running some distance, she turned around to see that the Mendelson Residence was out of sight. She finally relaxed, then took out her phone to look at the time.

It was 6.00PM.

Ah, it's still too early. Ronnie won't coincidentally appear right now, will he?

Frank was quite merciful today to have let her out so early.

At the thought of Frank's cruelty, Amelia held her tummy, then let go to look at the bottle of calcium tablets she had been gripping in her hand. Fortunately, Desmond still retained his conscience and switched out the pills. If not, she definitely would've soiled her pants by now.

She was young, pretty, and also the daughter of a rich family. If she soiled her pants, she would be extremely disgraced.

She had to admit that Frank's tricks were cruel enough!

"You're so evil. How can you even compare to Master Dylan? Kendall will never fall for you."

As Amelia walked, she kept complaining about Frank.

"Desmond even said you're pitiful, but I only think you're deserving of hate! My idol is much better than you."

Amelia forgot all about Frank as she began thinking about Ronnie.

If she walked slower and waited until 11.00PM, she might still be able to meet Ronnie, right?

Inside the inpatient department of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Central Hospital, Kelly lay on the bed. Her face was pale, but she had fallen asleep.

Charlotte sat by the bed, looking at her.

Meanwhile, Adam had his hands behind his back as he stood at the window. He looked outside without exchanging any words with his wife.

The only motion in the room was the liquid medicine dripping slowly into Kelly's body.

She had lost some blood and was sent to the hospital in time. She didn't have a miscarriage, but she still had to be hospitalized to ensure her child's safety.

The door to the ward was shut tight, and it was even locked from within.

Adam and his wife were both worried that the entertainment journalists, who had extensive networks, might snoop their way here.

If it were any other day, the day would've gone by fairly quickly.

However, today seemed especially difficult to endure. Even now, the sky still hadn't completely gone dark.

Summers always had long days and short nights.

But now, it was only a little past 6.00PM, and the setting sun was still visible on the horizon.

Ring…

Charlotte's phone rang just then.

Kelly, who had been asleep, suddenly jolted awake. She anxiously reached out and touched her phone.

"Kelly, it's my phone that's ringing."

Seeing her foster daughter's reaction, Charlotte still felt her heart ache.

If she had known it would come to this, she wouldn't have done it at the start.

Kelly let out a faint sigh of both relief and disappointment.

Charlotte knew that Kelly was waiting for a call from Jackson.

Even now, she was still thinking of him.

How could Jackson possibly come to her? He would be busy explaining to his new wife right now, trying to earn her forgiveness.

"It's a call from Kendall."

Seeing the incoming call, Charlotte notified Kelly before she got up and walked away to answer the call.

"Mom, have you and Dad had dinner?"

Kendall asked worriedly before continuing, "I have time now. Shall I deliver dinner to you two?"

"It's okay, I just called up Ms. Morrison and asked her to deliver some food here. Kelly needs nourishment, so I've asked her to make some nourishing soup as well."

Thinking that Kelly had a miscarriage, Kendall asked, "Did the child make it?"

"There are signs of miscarriage, and the doctor said to stop the bleeding first and prioritize the child's safety. Kelly should rest in bed for a few days, and she mustn't move too much."

Kendall gave a slight response.

That meant the child was still alive.

"Let her stay in the hospital, then. Mom, you and Dad also have to take care of your own health. Why don't I get someone to fetch you two so that you can go home to rest?"

Their foster daughter disappointed them, but their biological daughter was considerate and nice to them. It lifted Charlotte's mood considerably.

She said, "It's fine. When Ms. Morrison sends dinner over, we'll ask her to stay and take care of Kelly. Your dad and I will be home later."

After a pause, she continued, "Sally called me earlier. They found out about the incident, and Sally said that she'll be here right away. She is Kelly's biological mother, so I'll let her stay at the hospital tonight to keep Kelly company."

Kendall was silent for a bit before saying, "It caused quite a ruckus, so it's only reasonable that the rest of them have found out about it."

In Orapolis, anyone who could access the internet would know about Jackson cheating with Kelly.
