Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 236

Milton's coughing subsided after a while in the car, and he covered his lips with a tissue and asked, appalled, "Didn't I ask you to take me home? Why are you talking about taking me to the hospital again?"

" Your cough was so serious. I'm worried about you." Amelia did not want something bad to happen to her friend.

Milton gave her a complicated look. "I'm fine. I was just accidentally choked by the soup."

Amelia was still worried. "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"

Milton was silent for a moment. He could tell Amelia that Patrick had put wasabi in the soup. But when he recalled how she and Patrick had fought against each other just now, he didn't want to deepen the contradiction between them. After all, it was Amelia who would always suffer losses.

"No, I'll go home and take a rest." Milton insisted.

"All right." Amelia had no choice but to send Milton back to his own home.

In the process, a phone call came in. Amelia thought it was Patrick and she felt that it would not be a good thing. Probably he was teaching her a lesson again, so she didn't answer it.

When the second call came in, Milton thought it was inconvenient for her to answer the phone, so he asked her in a hoarse voice, "Do you need me to answer it for you?" "No!" Amelia refused without thinking.

The second call went quiet after a few rings. It seemed that the one who called her was not patient enough.

After dropping Milton off safely at home, Amelia and Milton's mother, Sierra, chatted amiably, and Sierra looked at Milton, who was resting on the couch, and lowered her voice to Amelia, "I have something to say to you alone, would you come to my room for a moment?"

Amelia smiled and said, "Sure."

At Sierra's room, she pulled out a stack of files with pictures attached from a drawer and explained under Amelia's strange look, "These are the blind dates I've scouted out for Milton, so you can help me see which one is a better match for Milton."

Amelia was startled, then realized that Sierra's actual purpose was to test whether she had feelings for Milton beyond those of a friend and if she did, she was bound to show disgust at the pictures and not help Milton pick a suitable match.

In Sierra's scrutinizing eyes, Amelia lowered her head and flipped the information up and down, before pointing at the photo with a flourish, "Aunt Sierra, I think this girl is good, look at her, she has a nice face and is very elegant, look at the way she dresses, she looks like the educated type, I think she is a good match for Milton. How do you think?"

Sierra sighed that Milton had been showing a lack of interest in the blind date, and she wanted to test whether Amelia was interested in her son, but it turned out that her son was making a fool of himself.

"Can you help me a favor." Sierra suddenly asked.

"Sure." Amelia smiled faintly.

"Milton's not so young now, help me persuade him to fall in love and get married, he's the only son I have, I don't want The Cook family to go extinct."

Amelia looked at Sierra's worried face and said, "Aunt Sierra, you're taking this too seriously! Didn't he go on that blind date you set up for Milton? I believe he wants to have a family."

"You don't understand." Sierra sighed, "He's all over me, every time he comes back he says the blind date is bad and he's trying to piss me off"

Amelia said gently "I'll persuade him more. Don't worry."

After coming out of Sierra's room, Amelia said to Milton, "I'm going home, don't go to bed too late."
