Patrick had already developed feelings for Rick who was constantly acting cute, but he did not show his feelings completely like Amelia.
Since Patrick had put the phone on speaker mode, Amelia could not help frowning when she heard the first half of Fabian's words...
Fortunately, Fabian did not bring any bad news.
Amelia was excited by knowing that Rick's appetite had recovered. She could not help but interrupt, "Dr. Lawson, thank you for taking care of Rick. I'll thank you in person next time."
Fabian was stunned for a few seconds before he recognized that it was Amelia's voice. He said modestly, "Miss Ramsay, you don't have to do that. This is my responsibility as a doctor."
The next second, he heard Patrick saying crisply, "Dr. Lawson, if there's nothing else I will not bother you any longer. Goodbye."
After the call ended, Amelia glanced at Patrick, "Mr. Hopper, according to Dr. Lawson's tone, did he stay at the pet clinic all night?"
Patrick nodded. "Probably."
Amelia opened the map in her hand. After a while, she looked up at Patrick, "We will pass by his pet clinic on our way to Mount Logan. We can pay Rick a visit by then. I was worried that Dr. Lawson's pet clinic wasn't open early in the morning."
So, he was just a "driver" running around with her, was not he?
At the hospital.
After parking the car into the underground garage, Patrick said to Amelia, "You may go up first."
Amelia unbuckled her seatbelt and gave him Patrick a glance, "What about you?"
"I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes," Patrick answered honestly.
Amelia was a little angry when she heard what he said. "Can you stop smoking all day long?"
"Did I smoke all day long? Bringing cigarettes around is an etiquette. You have to understand how men interact with each other." Patrick said lightly.
Amelia thought for a moment and noticed that he would only smoke when he was upset. She then said reluctantly, "Well then, I'll go up first. Dad's ward is on the 17th floor. Don't go to the wrong floor."
"Got it." Patrick replied.
After watching Amelia disappearing behind the elevator doors, Patrick was about to open the door but the phone in his pocket rang again, pulling him back into his sitting position.
He took out his phone and spoke in a magnetic voice in the quiet car, "Hello?"
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Hopper!"
Hearing the familiar greeting from the other side of the phone, Patrick smiled, "Miss secretary, Merry Christmas."
"Mr. Hopper, although everyone needs to rest during Christmas, I thought I would want to share my ideas with you. Since the company had released the recruitment of teachers in Timothy Village, many people have shown great interest in the salary offered."
"Yesterday morning, several hundred emails appeared in my account. I'm wondering if I can borrow the company's venue to interview them and test them these two days. Of course, I hope that you would agree to it."
