Hearing Kaiden's stern warning, Amelia replied hesitantly, "Mm... I've said it, I swear."
Kaiden had caught the oddness in her words. He could not help glaring at her, "Could you at least be more sincere when you're taking on your oath?"
Amelia could not stand at his bugging. She turned to his back with the remote control plane in her hand. She shoved his back and said, "Fine then, we can talk about all this later. You should help me in dealing with Abner now."
It was not longer after they came out from the mansion that Amelia saw a building named Quartley's Private Hospital.
Seeing this, Amelia murmured to herself, "It's such a convenience to have a hospital built right in front of your own house. There's no need to worry in case anyone falls sick."
At this time, Kaiden suddenly asked, "Why are you holding this broken toy in your hand?"
Amelia blurted, "Abner likes it."
"But this won't cure him." Kaiden was unenthusiastic with her explanation.
Amelia shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. I've caught Abner staring at it when he was being carried away. I guess he would be happy to see it if I bring this to him."
Kaiden furrowed. There were time when this woman was dislikable when she was absent-minded. Yet there were time like this moment where he found her being extraordinarily thoughtful. Kaiden began to feel uncertain of her true character.
Amelia asked him, "Oh yeah, what did you call the lady just now?"
"Savannah." Kaiden continued, "She is Abner's personal nanny now."
Amelia nodded and asked, "Don't you think you should call Savannah and ask her about their whereabout before we go to the hospital? It seems like there is a couple of floors within that building."
Kaiden said lightly, "There's no need. Everyone on duty in the hospital know Abner. We can simply stop one of the staffs and ask."
Amelia regretted for not thinking of this. She replied, "Oh yeah!"
Here it came the absent-minded her!
Kaiden frowned and said, "Otherwise why would it be called a private hospital? You're such a stupid woman!"
Amelia did not seem to be provoked by Kaiden's sarcasm. Although she did not get to meet Sawyer, it was worth celebrating if she could meet his only son in person.
Upon entering the lobby hall of the hospital, Amelia realized that this place was in a state of pin-dropped silence. There was no one else other than the doctors and nurses on duty.
Amelia could not help feeling strange.
Especially the moment when the two of them had entered into the hospital, all the doctors and nurses passing by immediately stopped their work on hand and glanced in direction on them with their eyes sparkled in excitement. It was as if they had taken them as the experimental white mice and frogs awaiting for autopsy.
Kaiden had caught Amelia freezing at her feet from the corner of his eyes. He then whispered to her in explanation, "They are just bored."
Bored?
Amelia thought for a moment at Kaiden's words. This was in fact a huge private hospital staffed with numerous doctors and nurses to serve only the Quartley family. There was no wonder that they were all bored since this hospital was clearly overstaffed.
The ICU on the second floor.
When Amelia and Kaiden had showed themselves there, the entrance of the ICU could be seen closing shut. Savannah was nowhere to be seen. She must have followed Abner and stayed with him inside.
A number of doctors could be seen gathering outside the ICU room with their expression serious as they frowned.
As soon as Amelia got closer, she could tell that they were sighing while discussing on the matter of blood bag.
