"Good. Crying it out is better than keeping it to yourself."

Justin pinched her wet cheeks. "Both of you should calm down tonight. Tomorrow, we'll make time to see Amelia to have another talk. We will think of a suitable plan."

Even if the whole world did not understand Bella's consideration and efforts, he would.

Bella, who had become a crybaby, rubbed her eyes and whined, "I'm hungry. Cook something for me."

Justin placed his right hand into a fist on his chest and his left hand behind his back, transforming into a handsome and graceful butler.

"As you wish, my lady."

The next day, Justin and Bella returned to Hatchbay to look for Amelia.

However, they received the news that Amelia had not come home at all. Instead, she contacted Celeste, saying she had urgent business to deal with at her university and would be staying at the dorm for a couple of days.

Bella and Justin looked at each other, confused.

Amelia had already graduated and moved her belongings back home. They could not figure out what urgent business required her to stay at the dorms.

"Bella, what's up with Amelia? Did anything happen?" Celeste asked nervously.

"It's nothing, Aunt Celeste. Justin and I wanted to take Amelia on a trip to relax, but we didn't expect her to be busy with something else." Bella did not want Celeste to worry, so she brushed it off. "Bella, if you could spare some time to take Amelia on a trip, I'd really appreciate it."

Celeste's concern was visible on her face. "Since Charles was released, Amelia has been losing sleep over the past few days, and she doesn't eat much. Although she said she's fine, I know that she must be suffering inside."

Upon hearing it, Bella felt more guilty and regretful for saying those harsh words to Amelia yesterday.

Under the disguise of her calm expression, Amelia was enduring unprecedented suffering. As a victim, she needed comfort and protection more than anyone else, but she worried about Bella's situation instead. She was so considerate that it was heartbreaking.

"Bella, if you see Amelia, please talk to her for me. Don't let that child be stuck in a deadlock."

Celeste's tone was gentle and tinged with helplessness. "The past is in the past. We are alive, so we need to look forward."

It was already evening when they left Yara Park.

Bella felt inexplicably heavy, and she pulled out her phone to call Amelia.

However, the call was cut off after a few rings.

"Amelia... Why would she hang up on me?" Looking at the darkened screen, Bella felt a sudden panic.

"Perhaps something else came up," Justin reassured.

"Impossible. Amelia would only ignore my calls if there was something. She never hangs up on me. This has never happened before."

The more Bella thought about it, the more anxious she became. She grabbed Justin's arms and said, "Justin, I'm scared. Could something have happened?"

"If you're worried, we will return to Savrow now. I'll ask lan to check out Amelia's campus first."

Before Justin's voice fell, Bella received a call from Steven.

"Ms. Bella! Can you help me contact Amelia?"

Steven's voice was hoarse and anxious, as if he were on fire. "Since last night, I've called her multiple times, but she didn't pick up once!"
