Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 619

As Amelia had said, he was indeed a total brute in front of her.

Patrick lit a cigarette in irritation. This was why he was in such a hurry to find Dr. Scarlett. He was afraid Amelia would fall sick after his torment like last time and could not get out of bed again.

On the other side, Huxton led Dr. Scarlett to a quiet corner. He bowed his head and said to the sullen woman, "I only did that because I had no choice. If sir finds out that it was madam who ask you leave, she'll be doomed."

Dr. Scarlett was not pleased to hearthat. "Oh, but have you considered that I'll be doomed too?"

Huxton's expression shifted slightly. "You'll lose your job at most, but madam will have to pay a tenfold price or even a hundredfold!"

Dr. Scarlett did not wholly believe him. "Is it that serious? They're married, you know!"

Huxton bit his lips and said, "Why else do you think sir wants a family doctor? He's always wanted a child, but madam doesn't want you to come recently anymore. Don't you understand what this means?"

Something clicked in Dr. Scarlett's brain!

Dr. Scarlett had a revelation and exclaimed, "I remember now! Ms. Amelia told me that she doesn't want child for the time being!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Huxton glared at her and gestured, "Be careful, walls have ears."

walls have ears Scarlett indicated 'OK' and lowered her voice into a whisper, "I'll be quiet then. There's no need to be so fierce."

Huxton returned to his normal composure and added faintly, "Go to Mrs. Hopper room and take a look at her. She may not be in a good condition right now."

walls have ears Scarlett was dismayed. "What happened to her?"

Huxton's face bloomed red at the thought of something. He replied evasively, "Don't ask. You'll know once you take a look at her."

"What the hell is going on?" walls have ears Scarlett was dissatisfied with his answer but still obeyed his instructions and began to make her way to Amelia's bedroom.

Huxton, who stayed where he was, slowly let out a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and fumbled at his ear, a trace of embarrassment lingering on his face.

Upon a closer look, one would find that there was a small receiver in his ear canal.

Huxton had been using it to receive information about what was happening around Amelia every day.

Naturally, he had heard the entire escalation of the dispute between Patrick and Amelia in the bedroom.

The moment when Patrick lost his mind, Huxton had an impulse to rush into the bedroom, but then he remembered that he should be on his master's side and that he was not in the position to take a stand for Amelia.

All he could do was stay in the living room quietly and listen to his master as he said words that crossed the limit and did things that went out of line to Amelia. Finally, when he could not bear to listen any more, he turned the receiver off.

After Patrick emerged from Amelia's bedroom in a gloomy demeanor, only then Huxton turned the receiver on again.

But as soon as he switched it on, he was shocked stunned. The sound of the woman's sobbing kept coming through from the other end.

Huxton felt repressed all of a sudden. He remembered that Amelia did not even shed a tear when she took the pensions to families of the deceased, even when she was chased and beaten.

In addition to being repressed, he also felt guilt on his conscience.

If...

If he had rushed into the bedroom to help her, even if he had simply pleaded to Patrick on her behalf, he would not feel as awful as he was at this moment.

Unfortunately, there was no 'ifs' in this world.

In the secondary bedroom.

Finding the door was unlocked, Dr. Scarlett carefully pushed the door and called out gingerly, "Hello! Can I come in?"

Amelia heard movement outside the door turned from dismal to startled at first, then she quickly rubbed her eyes, raised her face from being buried in the pillow, and asked back, "Dr. Scarlett, when did you come by?"
