SWNOVELS Chapter Cry 845
Chapter 845
After taking Amelia to Arcane Sanctum, Carissa requested the sanctum’s staff to block the Warren family members from entering. Without Amelia’s consent, they were not allowed to visit.
The Warren family men had followed closely, but the guards at Arcane Sanctum turned them away. They stated that the physicians were in the middle of treating a patient and that no one was allowed to barge in at night, instructing the family to go back.
However, Benjamin insisted on seeing his wife.
When persuasion failed, the four guardians of Arcane Sanctum intervened, pushing and shoving the Warren family members away. Barrett dared not Intervene, and the others didn’t have the authority to act. As head of the family, Jonathan ordered, “Let’s go back. She’s safe inside Arcane Sanctum.” Jonathan had always kept a low profile at home, often retreating during crises and never taking charge. But in this situation, he had to assert himself, and Benjamin had no choice but to comply, especially since they couldn’t gain entry
Clutching the pawn ticket, Benjamin walked away in a daze. Besides feeling lost, he also simmered with anger. With his younger brother having just received a promotion, Amelia’s actions threatened to ruin their family’s future, along with his brother’s prospects.
Why couldn’t she show some understanding? Was it only acceptable to share in the riches, not in hardships? Rebecca was sick, and as a daughter–in–law, couldn’t she endure a little more? And Viola was pregnant. Was her spending a bit more silver really unbearable?
Why was Amelia so petty?
Benjamin couldn’t shake the thought that maybe it was his slap and how she was forced to apologize to Rebecca that had driven his wife to such desperation.
Although Amelia was conscious now, she continued to cough after inhaling water. Since Carissa had saved her and Violet had brought her in, Sebastian personally treated her to prevent any lingering effects that might complicate her life further down the line.
Ivy lent her clothes to Carissa and Violet, then took their wet garments to dry by the fire.
After examining Amelia and prescribing some medicine, Sebastian noticed she seemed much better, yet the shock had left her in a daze. He called her name several times, but she didn’t snap back to reality.
Sebastian could heal physical ailments but not emotional wounds, so he stepped out and asked Carissa to talk to her.
“You saved her, so it’s up to you to reach her.” Sebastian sighed, walking away with his hands behind his back. “Life is precious. Why would she want to throw it away?”
Carissa entered the room, uncertain about how to encourage someone to be strong–she wasn’t sure she could do that herself.
Carissa sat on the edge of the bed, watching Amelia. “Are you feeling any better?”
Tears trickled down Amelia’s cheeks. “I’m sorry for causing you trouble.

“Let’s not dwell on that. We know each other well, don’t we?” Carissa replied gently.
Amelia wiped her tears with the back of her hand. “I didn’t mean to sit outside Northwatch Estate. I just had nowhere to go and wandered there aimlessly. I know you weren’t inside, and I never meant to drag you into this. Honestly, it’s a blessing I didn’t die this time. If I had, it would’ve truly burdened you. Believe me, the last person I want to trouble is you.”
“I believe you,” Carissa said as she nodded.
She hesitated, unsure of how to persuade the other woman. Words often felt empty, especially to someone who was lost and desperate. Practical help was what mattered most.
But could she really tell her former sister–in–law to divorce Benjamin and leave the Warren family? If it were someone else, she might speak freely–but this was Amelia.
“If you encounter any difficulties in the future, go to Ivy. Don’t lose hope again,” Carissa encouraged.
She wanted to ask Amelia to think of her children, but she remembered how distant the kids had always been, always favoring their grandmother. It had been like that even during Carissa’s time with the Warren family.
“Thank you,” Amelia said sincerely, though she understood that temporary help couldn’t solve everything.
She looked at Carissa, forcing back her tears. “I’ll always remember your kindness. I’m just a useless person, and this is how my life will be. I have no talents, I even dislike myself.”
“If you can’t appreciate yourself, how can you expect others to?” Carissa replied gently. “You need to learn to take care of and love yourself.”
Carissa’s words felt hollow, and they were unable to dissolve the deep sorrow reflected in Amelia’s eyes.
Amelia knew that this time, she had sealed her fate by Jumping into the river. Even if she returned to Valor Estate, there would only be one path left for her.
