Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 95

She came to her senses and smiled carelessly. "Don't worry. I have a weak stomach. Maybe it's because I have stomachache for several times a month."

She remembered eating chili food a month ago, but that was just once. Ever since Lucian stopped her from eating spicy food back in SJ Garden, she rarely tried it. That was why her stomach hadn't been troubling her until recently.

"Then we should go to the hospital," Jonny insisted.

Amelia refused and said stubbornly, "If people go to the hospital, they will be diagnosed as sick even though they are not sick. I'd better not go there."

"Is that your excuse for neglecting the medical treatment? Let's go." Jonny opened the door of the car and gestured Amelia to get on the passenger seat.

It was true that she didn't want to trouble anyone for some trivial issues. Although her stomach did create problems for her recently, even after having a perfect diet. The symptoms she had included nausea and vomiting. Usually, these issues used to occur due to gastritis, but this time was different. Amelia curiously looked at her stomach. If it wasn't the inflammation in her stomach, then what else could it be?

Her eyes opened wide when a thought crossed her mind. She had never taken precautions every time she made love with Lucian. Was she pregnant?

Her heart thudded against her chest.

"Fine, I won't force you, but at least let me bring you some medicines, okay?" When Jonny failed to get a response from Amelia, he assumed that she didn't want to go with him.

Amelia stood in a daze for a long time. She wanted to see Courtney and tell her everything.

"I don't need medicines, Jonny. I want to see Courtney." She forced a smile on her face.

Jonny gave her a worried glance and frowned. "Even if you don't want to go to the hospital, just stay at home and rest!"

"I'm fine. I know what I'm doing."

Jonny didn't insist anymore. He wanted to drive her to Courtney's, but Amelia rejected his proposal. She took a taxi instead.

Lucian used to take her to visit Courtney, but she didn't know what else to do at present except for taking a taxi. It was not that she had sentimental feelings. She didn't want Courtney gossiping about her and Jonny. Such a situation was deemed to make them upset.

Amelia reached Courtney's milk tea shop and found her busy serving guests. Just as Courtney was about to take another order, she noticed Amelia standing on the door. Curiosity increased in Courtney's heart. "Didn't you say you were going out for lunch? Why are you here?"

Courtney looked behind her and narrowed her eyes. It looked like Amelia came alone.

"Courtney, let me help you." Amelia avoided Courtney's question and started serving the guests.

Most of the customers were from the Zhan Group, and they recognized her at a glance. They even criticized her every time she turned her back to them.

Amelia didn't mind them and wore a smile on her face.

"Amelia, you don't have to do this. I'll serve them." Courtney couldn't bear to listen to those comments. She simply gestured Amelia to sit behind the counter. At least, Amelia wouldn't hear those vile words from there and feel distressed again.

"Okay." 'Maybe I can make some milk tea at the bar counter,' Amelia wondered. She desperately wanted to busy herself in some work to get rid of troubling thoughts.

The milk tea shop became quiet after serving everyone else.

Courtney glanced at Amelia for a while and sighed. Why would that girl pretend to be strong when she was anything but that? "Why are you so unlucky? Your ex married your step-sister, and the man you love married the sister of your gossiped boyfriend..."

Sadness floated in Amelia's eyes when she looked at Courtney. Amelia said in a small voice, "It's my fate."

"No, it's not you. It's An family's fault!" Courtney couldn't stand seeing her friend like this.

Amelia ignored Courtney and jotted something about milk tea in her notebook.

Courtney saw Amelia ignoring her and decided to ask another question. "Amelia, will you continue to act like that with Jonny?"

Amelia put down her notebook and frowned. For a second, a hint of worry flashed across her eyes. "The Zhan Group is not in trouble anymore. And if I tell Lucian that I divorced for his and the company's sake, everything would be ruined."

"You did something good without telling a single soul about it." Courtney was speechless at first, and then she scoffed. "It's hard to find a selfless woman like you."

Amelia's lips stretched to form a faint smile. She didn't think she was a good person, but there was no way out.

They were hurt, and her truth would only make it worse.

"Amelia, let's be honest. Lucian wouldn't have abandoned you even if Zhan Group had gone bankrupt." Although Courtney didn't know him too well, she could tell he cared for Amelia.

Amelia's face dimmed with sorrow. Even though she was sad, she had to pretend to be calm.
