Chapter 278 Make a Promise to Her
Eva said nothing else when she thought Amelia had told her not to blame him. She turned to get some water and ignored him.
Jackson stood at the door and looked at the petite, weak body on the hospital bed. Tears gradually filled his eyes.
He steadied his trembling body, clenched his fists, and walked to the bed slowly.
Amelia, who couldnât be seen, felt that someone was
approaching. She thought that it was Eva, so she hooked the clothes.
âEva!â
Before she could hook it, she was caught by a broad and slender hand.
The hand was trembling slightly. He seemed to have much to say, but he couldnât. He could only hold Ameliaâs hand and didnât let go.
Amelia noticed that it was a pair of menâs hands. The image of Jamesâs handsome face appeared, but she felt it couldnât be him.
Amelia tried to call out, âRyanâ¦â

Jackson didnât expect her to recognize him and didnât shake off his hand.
This made him feel a little guilty. He clenched Ameliaâs hand
tightly and sat before the hospital bed.
He didnât say anything. He touched Ameliaâs cheek with his slender fingers and carefully traced it from top to bottom.
She didnât push him away and let him touch her. Her heart was calm.
After a few minutes, Jackson said hoarsely, âAmeliaâ¦â He gently called her name as if he was calling his beloved, affectionate, and reluctant person. âYeah.â Amelia replied and asked softly, âWhy are you backâ¦â Jackson smiled bitterly. âI was inexplicably flustered, so I came back to see youâ¦â He had been very agitated in the past two days, and his heart kept beating as something had happened. He couldnât help but want to come back and find Amelia. He went to the apartment and waited for a whole night. No one Chapter 278 Make a Promise to Her 3/4
opened the door, and Amelia and Eva did not answer the phone. He had to find Stella and knew that she was in the hospital.
He was glad that he was here. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he was the one who caused her illness⦠He held her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it gently. âAmelia, Iâm sorryâ¦â Before he came in, Amelia had guessed that he had heard her conversation with Eva. Now in the face of his apology, she no longer felt anything. Perhaps she had let go of many things when she was close to death. In the past, she could not see through life and death, but now she felt that there was nothing to be persistent about in life.
Amelia smiled and comforted him. âI have a heart attack. Itâs not your faultâ¦â
Jackson shook his head, his bloodshot eyes full of self-blame. âAmelia, Iâll give you an explanation.â
Hearing such a solemn promise, Amelia frowned slightly.
Ryan had always been a man of his word. He would definitely give her an explanation if he promised.

Although she didnât know what explanation he would give her, it
didnât matter to herâ¦
Amelia tried her best to squeeze his palm. âRyan, be good. Thatâs the best explanation for meâ¦â
Jackson shook his head. His eyes had a stubborn determination as if he had decided not to tell her.
Amelia didnât have the strength to care about what he was thinking. She looked at him with her dim eyes.
âRyan, I canât see you nowâ¦â
âBut in my memory, you have always been the cleanest youthâ¦â
âI remember your best image. Remember my best image, too, okay?â
Jacksonâs eyes were red, and Adamâs apple bobbed. âOkay,â
Amelia smiled, still maintaining her calm and elegant smile. âThen why donât you go back to Imperial Capital? I donât want you to see me dead.â
