Mignon and Joanna were not in the mood to answer the phone. The housekeeper had to pick up the phone and answer it. But after the phone was connected, he said in surprise, "Miss, where are you now? Young master Cedric and young master Gu are looking for you."
"Who's that? Is that Abigail?" Hearing the housekeeper's words, Mignon immediately got up and walked towards him.
The housekeeper looked at Mignon's emotional face and stammered, "Yes..."
"Put her on speakerphone." Cedric's face darkened as he ordered the housekeeper.
The housekeeper did not dare hesitate and pressed the hands- free button immediately. Nacho and Cedric looked at each other, then Cedric asked, "Amelia, where are you now?"
This was the first time that Cedric had called Amelia by her name in such a harsh tone. In the past, he used to call Amelia by her infant name, and he always doted on her so much, because he was much older than her, and she was the youngest child of Ashley. But Cedric was angry at the moment because Amelia was so reckless that she completely ignored the feelings of her families who cared about her.
"Cedric, Nacho, Joanna and Mignon, I know you are all there." Amelia's hoarse and weak voice came from the phone.
Cedric held Joanna's hand, and his eyes were extremely grim and horrible.
"Go home right away! Do you hear me?" Tyrone's death was a great blow to Amelia, so Cedric was worried that Amelia would do something extreme to hurt herself.
Amelia said slowly in a hoarse and bitter voice, "Cedric... I won't go home. I'm going to leave here with Tyrone. Don't look for me, because I won't come back. Take good care of yourselves."
"Abigail, don't do stupid things." Joanna thought that Amelia was going to commit suicide, so she immediately called her name in a panic.
Amelia said slowly and mournfully, "Joanna, don't worry. I won't do anything stupid. Tyrone is alive. I just want to live with him. Cedric, Nacho, you have been doting on me since I was born. I grew up under your protection. Now I want to live on my own, please take care of yourselves."
"Tell Auntie Cornelia that I will live with Tyrone. I will be all right. I will live and wait for Tyrone to come back."
"Abigail, if you can't get rid of your desperation, we can talk. Be obedient and go home first, okay?" Hearing Amelia's voice, Mignon was about to cry.
She called Amelia's name in a hoarse voice.
However, Amelia did not speak again. Soon, she hung up the phone.
Joanna covered her mouth with both hands, on the verge of tears. "Abigail... What is she doing? What does she mean by saying that?"
"She is the child of the Xis. She will never commit suicide." With a straight face, Cedric looked at Nacho coldly and said.
"Let's take her back home first." Nacho frowned as he looked at Cedric and said calmly.
Cedric pursed his lips and said seriously, "That's the only thing we can do."
"Why do you help me?" At this moment, in a suburb in Beijing, Amelia put down the phone, looked at the man not far away and asked indifferently.
"Do I need a reason to help you? I'm just returning you a favor." The man slowly raised his head, then his face was exposed in the sunshine.
The man was Egbert, whom Cedric and Nacho had been looking for for a long time.
"Can you really keep Tyrone's body for me?" Amelia looked at Egbert with cold eyes and said.
Amelia once saved Egbert's life, she didn't expect that Egbert would help her.
"Of course, I can help you." Egbert touched his chin blandly and said.
"Then I believe you. Please keep Tyrone's body for me. I will come here to see him when I have time."
"Is she... living a good life?" Egbert nodded, then he looked at Amelia and asked slowly.
Amelia knew exactly who Egbert meant. She pinched her fingers and said with an apathetic expression, "Egbert, you hurt Cedric and Nacho, and I haven't got even with you yet. When I saved you at that time, I didn't see your face clearly. If I knew it was you, I would never save you."
"But you saved my life indeed, didn't you?" Egbert said with a faint smile.
Egbert looked very peaceful and calm. He was totally different from the vicious man he used to be.
Amelia glanced at Egbert with no emotion. She just said coldly, "I hope you can keep your promise."
"Do you think that I'll cheat you?"
"I'm not sure. After all, you lied to Mignon, didn't you?"
Amelia snorted with disdain.
Egbert lowered his head and said indifferently, "I lied to her indeed. Originally, I just wanted to make use of her to deal with Nacho, but I didn't expect that I would fall in love with her."
"You don't love Mignon at all. If you love her, you won't let her get hurt. But what you have done hurt Mignon a lot. Do you think this is love?" When Amelia heard Egbert's words, she became very excited and mocked him.
Egbert's face turned a little depressed and gloomy. He looked at Amelia, but he didn't get angry.
