"Alright." Amelia was willing to learn that.
Patrick who was standing by the side laughed suddenly. His laughter was so loud that it baffled Fabian and Amelia.
"What are you laughing at?" Amelia could not help but ask.
Patrick curled his lips. "I'm laughing at... Who would reveal their business secret to their customers? No wonder this vet doesn't have any business."
Amelia felt that what he said was very offensive. "Don't say that. Dr. Lawson is kind."
Patrick said both half-jokingly and seriously, "I thought kindness is dead in modern society?"
Amelia felt embarrassed and said to Fabian, "He's always like this. Don't mind him."
Fabian gave a wry smile, "Actually, what your husband said makes sense."
Amelia saw that Fabian seemed to have been dealt a blow. She quickly changed the topic, "Rick hasn't recovered yet. Is it better for him to stay here?"
"Hmm," Fabian said, "It's best for him to stay in my clinic, so I can treat Rick anytime he shows
symptoms."
Amelia looked down at Rick and saw that he seemed to be able to understand their conversation. He was frowning and looking at her reluctantly. She smiled slightly, "Rick, don't worry. Rest well here. We will take you home in a few days. If you can recover quickly, I will prepare your favorite egg beef soup to reward you."
"Woof." When Rick heard this, he wagged his tail excitedly.
Later, Amelia glanced at Patrick. She was trying to prompt him to say some encouraging words to Rick, "Mr. Hopper, do you have anything to say to Rick?"
The two adults gazed down at the dog. Patrick said in a deep voice, "Don't die. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat anything."
As for Amelia, she should not have expected this man to have said anything nice!
After saying goodbye to Fabian, they walked out of the vet. Amelia patted Patrick's arm gently, "Why did you talk to Dr. Lawson like that?"
Patrick agilely grabbed her small hand which she did not have time to pull back. After a while, he said, "I'm reminding him the rules of doing business. Do you understand that giving him tips like that will make him better than me in the future?" "I've heard the tips before. However, can't you be a bit more tactful when you express your good intentions?" Amelia felt helpless.
"Talk to him nicely? Excuse me, I'm a straight forward person. Just like this..."
He lowered his head and suddenly planted a kiss on her cheek. In her little white rabbit-like dull eyes, Patrick curled his lips slightly, "How about it? Have you seen my true colors?"
That afternoon at Mount Logan.
Amelia looked through the car window in front of her and saw from a distance that the top of Mount Longan was covered in snow. From top to bottom, the snow slowly melted and gradually disappeared. She could barely see snow in the middle and lower levels.
Even so, Amelia still couldn't help but thought, "It's so cold. It must be very hard to climb to the peak, mustn't it? Would she and Patrick freeze to death on the way?"
She was surrounded by a faint pessimistic vibe. Patrick, who was in the driver's seat, had already pulled out the car key. He tilted his head and saw that Amelia was cowering like a dog. He could not help but smack her head from behind.
Of course, he smacked her head lightly.
