"Spare your own life?"
Amelia raised her head and looked at Yoel, as if she understood the intentions in his eyes.
"Yes, after you leave, you will find out that the outside world is very vast. You can travel, make new friends and have a new life."
Yoel looked at Amelia's eyes which were filled with emotions and knew that he had succeeded in misleading her.
However, he quickly made his words sound even more vague. If Amelia insisted on clinging to him in the future, he would be able to explain his way out of it.
"You're right!"
Amelia nodded.
She sat there and looked at Yoel, who was a few years younger than Valerie, lying on the bed. Her heart was in turmoil.
Amelia had always felt that she was mature and elegant. She tried her best to dress herself up as a woman with good taste. She had always believed that this way, she would appear charming.
She even felt that Yoel had submitted to her because of this.
"Yes, Auntie Harington, as long as you want, I will support you." Yoel raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. "By the way, I have a friend who is a private guide. I can introduce him to you. Wherever you go, he can accompany you and act as both your translator and guide."
"Alright."
Amelia looked at Yoel and felt that her life was already a mess. Suddenly, she saw a glimmer of hope.
"Auntie Harington, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to sleep now."
Yoel knew that he had already said everything that needed to be said. The rest would be up to Amelia herself.
Of course, he was also tired of looking at her, so he quickly found an excuse to make her leave.
"Okay, you should take a rest. I'm planning to visit Valerie tomorrow."
When Amelia left, she carefully covered Yoel with the blanket.
The next day, Amelia went to visit Valerie.
This time, Valerie appeared with shorter hair than before, but she looked much better.
"What's the matter?" Valerie came out and talked to Amelia on the phone. Her face was cold and her expression was indifferent.
It was as if a stranger had come to visit her.
"Valerie, it's me, your mother. How are you doing?"
Amelia looked at Valerie, and her heart ached for her. After all, she was still her own daughter.
The daughter of a prestigious family was now a prisoner. As her mother, she couldn't even stand this, not to mention Valerie herself.
"I'm fine. I've never been so good."
As Valerie spoke, her voice became different. She used to use a slightly higher tone while speaking, which made it sound very soft and very pleasant to the ears.
Now her tone sounded slightly lowers and horse, not pleasing to the ear enough, but real.
"Valerie, I know you're just saying that because you're angry. Skylar wants to sue you again, and he even has the recording of you from the hospital. I want to look for a lawyer, but no one dared to take up this case..."
"There's no need, I don't need a lawyer. Isn't it a life sentence? I've already been sentenced to sixteen years, so what's four more years?"
Before Amelia could finish her words, Valerie had already cut her off.
"Valerie, why do you say that? That's four years of your youth."
"Youth? My youth already ended when I ran over Coralie's father. From that moment on, I've been living in a nightmare!"
