She had to do it, and she must do it. She had been waiting for so long, and she would not give up so easily.
When Bradley woke up, he found that he was in a strange room. When he was about to get up, the door was opened, then he saw Amelia coming in with a bowl of hangover-cure soup.
Bradley stood up, hugged Amelia's body and said in a hoarse voice, "Amelia, I... had a dream."
Amelia quietly lay in Bradley's arms and did not move, allowing Bradley to hold her.
After Bradley took a breath with difficulty, he said slowly, "I dreamt... that you left me. Amelia, you promised that you would marry me. You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
Amelia looked at Bradley's serious eyes, and for some reason, she felt so painful in her heart, as if her heart was pierced by something. She was about to be overwhelmed by sadness.
She did not say a word and just looked at Bradley quietly. Then she said, "Drink the hangover-cure soup first. Only after you drink it can you feel better."
"Okay." Bradley looked at Amelia and nodded slightly.
After drinking it, he held Amelia in his arms and put his chin on her shoulder. He looked around the strange room and asked in a faint voice, "Where is this place? We're not at home?"
The word home stimulated Amelia's nerves. She pursed her lips and said with a faint of aloofness in her eyes, "We're in Beijing now."
After hearing that, Bradley got a little confused. He looked at Amelia with doubts, as if he didn't understand how he went to Beijing from Imperial City.
"I'm sorry, Bradley."
Amelia did not tell Bradley the answer. She gently pushed away Bradley's body and said to him slowly in a hoarse voice.
Bradley's face became gloomy. He pinched his palm hard and stared at Amelia with a straight face, his eyes were very serious and stubborn.
"Why..."
"Why do you do this to me? Amelia... Why do you treat me like this?"
Amelia did not answer him. At this time, the door was opened again, and Egbert, who dressed in black, came in from outside.
He frowned slightly and looked Bradley up and down. Then he said slowly, "Amelia, it's time to start."
"Who are you?" Bradley looked at Egbert's sinister face with hostility in his eyes. He grabbed Amelia's hand and said to Egbert warily.
He regarded Egbert as his rival in love and glared at him fiercely. Being looked at by Bradley like this, Egbert was amused. He smiled, raised his hand to touched his chin and said, "Mr. Haggai, don't misunderstand me. Amelia and I are just friends."
"Amelia, let's leave here and go home."
Bradley took a look at Egbert, then he grabbed Amelia's hand with his body tightened and wanted to take her out of here.
Bradley had a strange feeling in this place, and this kind of feeling almost drove him crazy. Bradley didn't like this place, and he wanted to leave here.
Amelia lowered her head and looked at Bradley's hand blankly. She didn't move, and didn't even say a word.
It was not until Bradley stared at her stubbornly and seriously that she said slowly, "Bradley, I want your heart."
Bradley opened his eyes wide and looked at Amelia. It seemed that he didn't understand what Amelia meant by saying this.
He pinched his palm hard, and his lips became somewhat pale. He kept looking at Amelia solemnly. He stared at her for a long time.
"Your heart belongs to Tyrone. As long as you give your heart back to Tyrone, he will come back to life. I'm sorry." Amelia's sad eyes were fixed on Bradley. Her face was full of sorrow and helplessness. Looking at her like this, Bradley felt so brokenhearted.
"Then... what about me?" After a long time, Bradley came back to earth. With his voice trembling, he grabbed Amelia's shoulders with both hands and shook her shoulders crazily and stubbornly. "Tell me... What about me? Who am I in your heart?" Bradley felt a sharp pain in his heart. Amelia said that she wanted to give his heart to Tyrone, but he loved her with all his heart.
"Amelia, what do I mean to you? Am I nothing in your heart?"
"I can give birth to this baby for you. After the baby is born, I will give him to the Haggai family, this is what I owe you." Amelia's face was sternly cool and unmoved, she looked very aloof in this way.
She was not the Amelia Bradley used to like. In Bradley's mind, Amelia was cheerful and beautiful, and she would never show such a cold expression. Where was his Amelia?
"Amelia... answer my question. Have you ever liked me?" Bradley grabbed Amelia's shoulders tightly with his slender fingers. His eyes were full of rage and disappointment as he looked at Amelia, as if he wanted to kill her.
Amelia raised her eyes and looked at Bradley, but she did not say a word.
Looking at the expression on Amelia's face, Bradley sneered sarcastically. He staggered and said coldly, "I see. Amelia... It turns out that I, Bradley, is... nothing... in your heart."
Bradley covered his eyes and laughed loudly.
