Two or three seconds after clicking the 'send' button, her Gmail prompt suddenly rang. She looked down at the lower right corner of the computer and saw Milton's avatar flashing wildly...
"Amelia, why do you like to hide from the crowd?" It was message from Milton.
"I've gotten used to it." Amelia started the chat with Milton.
"I watched the news from England. How can you be so unlucky? As soon as I leaves you, your life was full of disasters." Milton replied as soon as she sent the message.
"Even if you were here, my life wouldn't be any better too." Amelia replied.
"Are you complaining that I didn't save you from your troubles?"
"Oh shut it, you focus on your career and love life in Britain. As for me, someone will take care of my affairs for me." Amelia pretended to be carefree.
"Fine. You have Patrick. Who else do you need? There's no need to reply! I'm going to sleep!" Milton replied.
"Stingy! Good night!"
Looking at Milton's portrait which went dark, Amelia put her fingers on the keyboard for a long time and did not move it away. Since when did her feelings of annoyance and depression had become something needed to hide from her best friend...
The next day...
When Amelia got out of bed, she felt a little giddy. She propped herself up on the bedside table with her hands and rubbed her temples with the other.
Was she that unlucky? Did she catch a cold after being showered by the two pots of cold water from Eve? Oh no!
Amelia wailed in her heart. Before she could brush her teeth and wash her face, she ran to Dr. Scarlett's room and knocked on the door.
When the door opened, it was Huxton with a handsome face who came out. Amelia was stunned and subconsciously said, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong room!"
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Huxton coldly opened his mouth and said, "Madam, you didn't go to the wrong room. I'm here to discuss something with Dr. Scarlett. Please come in. I'm leaving."
Only then did Amelia turn around. Through the gap in the door, she saw Dr. Scarlett getting up from the bed in an embarrassing posture. She was stunned for a moment. What matter were they discussing that they would need to take it to the bed?
Sensing the curiosity between Amelia's eyebrows, Huxton said with a cold face, "It is not what you think." Then he walked away, which made Amelia even more confused.
Amelia entered the room quietly, seeing that Dr. Scarlett was frowning and looked like she was about to cry, Amelia asked carefully, "Dr. Scarlett, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Dr. Scarlett looked up at Amelia and forced a smile.
However, Dr. Scarlett's slightly red and swollen lips revealed some subtle secrets.
Rubbing her nose, Amelia did not go further down on the topic, "Dr. Scarlett, I seem to have caught a cold.
I need your help to check up for me."
Back then, Amelia would just drink two sachets of medicine and it would be over. But at this crucial moment, it was better to be more careful. It would be better if she were to find a professional doctor and ask for help.
"Sure, please take a seat. I'll go and rinse my mouth first." Scarlett rubbed her mouth with the back of her hand and nod as she walked to the bathroom.
Amelia did not know what was wrong with her. She
asked out of a sudden, "You two kissed, didn't you?"
Dr. Scarlett stiffened and did not know what to response.
Amelia knew she had made an indiscreet mistake and stuck out her tongue, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked..."
"It alright," Dr. Scarlett said without looking back, she then spat out a sentence that Amelia could not understand. "It's my fault..."
At Apex Construction Corporation.
Amelia walked into the office with a pot of medicine prepared for her by the doctor. When she entered she saw that Ryker had already been sorting out her desk for her.
