The Big Shot’s Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy - Chapter 643
Chapter 643: Extra Twenty: Ink Dot Plum Scent (Part Eighteen)
Knowing that Amelia Smith felt tense and unfamiliar in their presence.
Kevin Clark and Hugo Clark went to the hospital balcony, and William Lane took his meal to the balcony as well.
Only Charlotte Lane and her sister Olivia Lane were left chatting with Amelia Smith.
“Sister-in-law, how did you meet my brother? Was it at the Dance Association?” Olivia Lane asked curiously.
“No, we met a long time ago. He helped me with a favor,” Amelia Smith replied.
“A long time ago?” Olivia Lane exclaimed in surprise, “How old were you then?”
“Fourteen,” Amelia Smith answered honestly.
Charlotte Lane glanced at her.
“Fourteen!” Olivia Lane suddenly raised her voice, “Not even sixteen!”
William Lane, who was on the balcony, heard Olivia Lane’s shout: “………”
Kevin Clark, who hadn’t married his wife yet, dared not speak and remained silent.
Arthur North, who had already married his wife, cast an accusing look at Kevin.
“I only met her when she was fourteen,” William Lane said softly.
Arthur North laughed lightly: “How old is the little girl now?”
“We’re on the same boat, why are you feeling superior?” William Lane said, “Seducing your niece.”
Arthur North said, “I didn’t threaten Lila to get the marriage certificate.”
William Lane: “…….”
Arthur North raised his eyebrows.
Fearing that Amelia Smith would get tired, they stayed for a while before leaving when William finished his meal.
William Lane accompanied them out of the ward. At the entrance of the ward, Charlotte Lane said, “Brother, I would like to have a chat with you alone.”
William Lane thought for a moment, probably knowing what she wanted to say. He followed her to the end of the corridor.
The remaining people waited outside the ward for the siblings.
“Brother, I bear some responsibility for her injury, I am sorry,” Charlotte Lane began immediately.
William Lane’s brows slightly furrowed.
“I know Bella Reid is in love with you, I failed to handle it well… ”
“But didn’t you have someone monitor her?” William Lane interrupted, “It’s her own malicious intention, and you were not responsible for her.”
Charlotte Lane paused for a moment before speaking, “Arthur North told you about it.”
William Lane nodded: “He told me this morning.”
Charlotte Lane: “……”
William Lane smiled and said, “Lila, this has nothing to do with you. As for her, she only exposed a couple of tables at the wedding. She wanted to work with you, and you didn’t agree. You have taught her a lesson, and that’s enough. We are not murderers, and we can’t just casually take someone’s life.”
Charlotte Lane, her hands in her pockets, leaned against the wall and looked at William Lane.
“Moreover, you have already had someone monitor her. Without your person, I am afraid it would not have been so easy to rescue Amelia Smith,” William Lane continued.
Charlotte Lane remained silent.
William Lane said, “Lila, don’t always take responsibility upon yourself. Even if you make a mistake, the entire Lane Family will have your back. You don’t have to worry, just do whatever you want.”
Charlotte Lane lifted the corner of her mouth.
William Lane touched her head and said, “Never say ‘sorry’ to your brother again. In my eyes, there is no mistake you or Olivia could make.”
“Mhm.”
William Lane smiled gently, then said, “Is Arthur North giving me dagger looks?”
Charlotte Lane turned her head to look, and Arthur North looked normal. He even smiled at her from the distance: “Daggering.”
William Lane shook his head, “Men.”
…
Amelia Smith stayed in the hospital for three days. Before being discharged, she went to see her mother.
Her mother’s name was Andrews Lily. She was also in the same hospital but on a different floor.
When Amelia Smith went to visit her, she saw that Evan Smith was about to leave.
The two met outside the elevator.
As Evan Smith’s arm was broken, the plaster had not been removed yet. However, the injuries in other places were almost healed.
The wound on his face had long disappeared.
Amelia Smith had changed her clothes and put on long sleeves to cover the bandaged part on her left hand.
But Evan Smith still saw it immediately.
Because the weather was so hot, very few people wore long-sleeved clothes.
He glanced down and saw a bit of gauze sticking out of her sleeve: “Sister, what happened? Are you injured? What’s wrong with your arm?”
Evan Smith suddenly stepped forward, nervously asking. He wanted to touch her, but he was afraid of hurting her and didn’t dare to move her.
“Is it you, what did you do to her!” Evan Smith suddenly looked at William Lane, glaring at him fiercely.
William Lane calmly met his gaze.
Amelia Smith interrupted their staring: “I’m fine, just accidentally injured. It’s been a few days, and it’s almost healed. How’s your arm?”
“I’ll get the plaster removed in a couple of days.” Evan Smith looked at her arm, “Is it a serious injury? Where is it hurt? What caused it?”
“Not serious, it’s fine.” Amelia Smith said, “Did you just go see Mom? How is she?”
“She’s in good spirits.” Evan Smith said, “The doctor gave her medicine, and her leg doesn’t hurt anymore, so she’s feeling much better.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at William Lane again.
Seeing Evan’s cautious eyes, William Lane voluntarily stepped aside, letting the siblings talk.
Seeing him walk away, Evan Smith took Amelia Smith’s left arm and walked further away, finding a quieter place: “Sister, I did some research on him. He’s the Young Master of the Lane family. It’s the same Lane family behind your Dance Association, the one Teacher Ortiz belongs to.”
“Yes, I know.” Amelia Smith said.
“Is he bullying you? Or forcing you?” Evan Smith knew that his sister was beautiful and easily attracted unwanted attention.
He was worried, especially when dealing with someone as powerful as William Lane.
Amelia Smith turned to look at William Lane.
William Lane smiled at her like he was teasing a child.
Amelia Smith turned her gaze back and said: “Evan, he hasn’t bullied me, he hasn’t forced me, and he’s been good to me. We’ve got the certificate.”
After listening to her words, Evan Smith was unresponsive for nearly a minute.
Finally, he responded, his face pale and somewhat frightening: “Sister, you married him? Of your own volition?”
Amelia Smith nodded.
Evan Smith opened and closed his mouth, then suddenly said, “He’s so old! He…”
Amelia Smith: “!!!”
“How can he be happy about…”
His voice was too loud, and Amelia Smith quickly covered his mouth: “Lower your voice.”
Evan Smith stopped talking.
Amelia Smith let go of him and said, “He’s not old. He’s just a little older, but age is just a number. Why measure it by a number?”
“But…”
“We’re already married.” Amelia Smith interrupted him.
Evan Smith swallowed the words he wanted to say.
The siblings fell silent for a while, then Evan Smith asked, “Did he take care of Mom’s hospitalization?”
Amelia Smith nodded.
Ever since Evan arrived at the hospital, he felt something strange. He asked the doctor, but the doctor didn’t say anything.
He suspected if it was William Lane who did all these things.
Then, thinking about William Lane, he wondered if his sister was being bullied.
But the two had actually gotten their certificate.
With William Lane’s status, if it were just for fun, why get the certificate?
“Sister, do you like him?” Evan Smith asked.
Amelia Smith nodded again: “I like him. I’ve liked him for many years.”
Evan Smith looked at her, saw her expression, and knew she wasn’t lying. So he had nothing more to say.
After another moment of silence, he said, “Do you know where Dad is? Mom said she hasn’t seen him for several days.”
Amelia Smith’s face grew colder: “I know.”
Seeing her expression, Evan Smith suddenly became nervous: “Did he do something again?”
“Mmm.”
Evan Smith thought of William Lane, his whole body tense, and he swallowed hard: “He…”
“He’s at the place where I’m staying now.” Amelia Smith said, “I’ll talk to him, and then you can take him away.”
Evan Smith sighed with relief, and after a pause said: “Okay.”
