Chapter 134: Surprise

After the incident with Vanessa's allergic reaction to sunflowers, Amelie's mind had been constantly haunted by the overwhelming sense of uneasiness. 

Noah's widow was fine after the emergency treatment and the whole thing was swept under the rug, most likely thanks to Liam's efforts, but the bitter taste of betrayal still bothered Amelie.

"Don't feel burdened, Amelie," Vanessa's last message "comforted" her, "I am on your side."
