Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 524

Maryanne replied, "He's at home."

Amelia could not help but feeling anxious. "He's still at home? Why don't you send him to the hospital?"

"When he was conscious, he asked us not to touch him. He would feel anxious when someone touches him. Milton is a filial person. But when Aunt Sierra touched him, he roared and scolded. After he fell asleep, we dare not touch him anymore because we're afraid that he would suddenly wake up and causes trouble again."

"Aunt Sierra had no choice yesterday but to hire a private doctor. The doctor had given him medicine, injections, and infusions. However, he was still having fever. Sometimes, it felt cold on his forehead but sometimes it was too hot to touch with hand."

"He has been calling your name for the past two days. The reason he got sick probably because of you. I think maybe you can help him to feel better so I beg you to come and visit him."

"You don't need to beg me. It's what I should do as a friend." Amelia replied.

After she hung up the call, Amelia turned off the computer. She got up and said to Patrick, "Mr.

Hopper, I want to go out."

Patrick looked away from the television with an unexpected expression and asked, "It's so late. And you want to go out?"

Amelia was worried. "Maryanne told me that Milton was having a fever and his condition is very bad."

"What are you going to do there when Maryanne is there to take care of him?"

Patrick was really dissatisfied. Why did Amelia care so much about Milton? It was just a fever and she was so nervous that she wanted to visit him right away.

Amelia talked nicely to negotiatie with Patrick, "Look. I'll come back as soon as I check Milton's situation. If you're worried about me, you can go with me or ask Huxton to follow me. I have no objection."

Patrick's face became stiff. After a while, he said, "Do you ever think that Milton probably pretended to be sick in order to deceive you to visit him?"

Amelia could not help but laugh. "He doesn't need to lie if he wants to see me."

Patrick tried to find an excuse, "Maybe he just likes to use this trick to make you feel symphatize with him and ask you to take care of him?"

Amelia found it hard to convince this highly suspicious man. "Do you remember our bet at Brittany's wedding? You promised me that if you lose, I can make the terms!"

Patrick narrowed his eyes. "Do you want to use it to meet Milton?"

Amelia nodded her head.

Patrick kept his fists together and said, "Amelia, do you know that you can use it to exchange for something more valuable? Even if you want me to give all the wealth in the world to you..."

Amelia's eyelids slightly drooped, she said calmly, "For me, I'm satisfied with the money I have for my normal spending. I don't need too much wealth. However, I have only one best friend and no one can replace him."

Patrick took a few steps forward and pinched her cheek. He glared at her coldly and said, "I knew that he had feelings for you yet I still need to allow you to meet him! Do you know how I feel?"

After a few seconds of silence, Amelia asked with a pitying but incomprehensible expression, "Are you jealous?"

Patrick was speechless.

Amelia thought for a moment and said frankly, "If you want to meet your female friends alone, I am more likely to be jealous as well. So, I formally invite you to go to visit Milton with me again."

Patrick heard half of her words and asked in a surprised tone, "Will you really feel jealous?"

"Yes," Amelia admitted calmly.

Patrick stared at her until she blushed. Then he said, "Promise me that you'll only meet him for a while and return home as soon as possible."

Amelia felt helpless and said, "Fine."

"Fine? How reluctant are you to do that?" Patrick thought.

Patrick suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "Even if Milton cries and begs you to stay, you can't agree to it!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you said." Amelia was speechless.

As soon as Amelia finished her words, she heard Patrick's fierce order, "Please swear!"
