Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 485

Amelia, who had just walked out of the police station, heard a car horn blared beside her. She stopped and looked over, only to find that it was a mighty-looking military Hummer.

The next second, a young face popped out of the vehicle window and asked her in a well-versed tone, "Miss Amelia Ramsay?"

Amelia nodded.

"Oh, my name is Leo. Officer Hopper specifically told me to wait for you here."

Officer Hopper? Amelia pointed at herself and said, "Did Owen asked you to wait for me here? What for?"

Leo laughed and said, "Of course it's to send Miss Amelia home. Officer Hopper said that the city center is far from the City West Police Station. He's afraid that it's not safe for you to go home alone. Miss Amelia, please."

Amelia was touched by Owen's attentiveness. She turned to open the door of the Hummer and got in.

At the Land of Fragrance.

When Amelia returned home, a familiar bark boomed from the living room. Her face of flagging interest brightened up all of a sudden. Following the sound of the bark, she then walked quickly inside...

She was met with a small bulldog wiggling around his owner, wagging his short tail. His overly intimate behavior made the owner cried out in impatience, "What's the hurry? There'll be both bread and milk!"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Amelia did not know why, but she felt an urge to cry. She secretly cursed herself for being so sentimental. She then called out in a clear voice, "Mr. Hopper, Rick, I'm back."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Hearing Amelia's voice, Rick did not even bother to eat. He twisted his body, shook his limbs, and speedily sprinted in her direction.

Seeing that Rick's four limbs slipped on the ground because of its overexcited speed, Amelia rushed forward to catch him. Looking at his spinning beady eyes, she said, "Welcome home, Rick! I haven't seen you in two days. Did you miss me?"

Rick's answered by sticking out his tongue to lick her face wet.

"Haha..." Seeing that he had recovered his spirit to its original state, Amelia felt happier than she could ever feel.

"You're back, Mrs. Hopper?" Patrick, who had filled a basin of milk for Rick, steadily greeted her.

Amelia held Rick's bottom and looked at Patrick. She replied, "Yes, thank you for asking Owen to the police station in time to bail me out."

After Patrick put the milk basin on the ground, he slapped his hands together and asked, "Did the police who arrested you did anything to you?"

Amelia placed Rick in front of the milk basin and then said to Patrick, "Captain Walker just asked me some questions. He didn't make things difficult."

Patrick felt relieved and said, "Leave the rest to my brother. With his ability, he can help the police capture the real drug dealer."

Amelia admitted her own misfortune and said, "I thought it was already bad enough two years ago. I didn't expect that unlucky things would happen to me again and again this year."

Patrick said coldly, "Why did you have to go to that kind of shady place where the crooks blended in with the honest folks? You deserve it!"

Amelia muttered, "There are so many people in the world who go to nightclubs every day. So why was it me that had to encounter such things? In the end, it's all because of my bad luck."

Patrick raised his eyebrows. "Why did you stare at me when you said 'bad luck'? Do you think I'm the reason for your bad luck?"

Amelia felt wronged. "Besides me, you are the only one at home. If I don't look at you, who else can I look at?"
