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 tand 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 | had no choice. If sir finds out that it was madam who ask you leave, she'l 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 crecently 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 toldthat she doesn't want child for
the tbeing!"
"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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtremembered 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 | 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 cby?"
Dr. Scarlett could not help frowning at the nasal aftermath of Amelia's cries in her voice and glanced at the mess
all over the ground. "What happened here?"
"Cin, and we'll talk." Amelia sat up, holding the blanket around her. Dr. Scarlett was immediately aghast at
the sight of her pale appearance contrasting with the appalling trail of hickeys on her collarbone. "My goodness,
did he force you to do it?"
Amelia pursed her already smitten lips. Then, detaching herself from her situation, Amelia said in an oddly calm
way, "Dr. Scarlett, please helptake a new set of clothes from the wardrobe. | want to take a shower."
"Okay!" Dr. Scarlett went to the cabright away. When she pulled the cabdoor open, she cursed to herself
in a low voice, "D*mn it! Is he even humane?"
Turning back around, Dr. Scarlett passed a set of soft pajamas onto Amelia's bed and inquired, "Do you need my
help? I've studied nursing care."
To which Amelia only replied softly but firmly, "No, | can do it myself."
Dr. Scarlett took a deep look at her and said, "Okay. I'll be right outside. Tellif you need anything."
"Thank you." Amelia flashed her an empty smile.
Dr. Scarlett left the secondary bedroom as Amelia cleaned herself up. She then peered from the corridor to find
Patrick still sitting in his previous position, browsing through the magazine leisurely.
Dr. Scarlett was unhappy by what transpired and put her fingers together into a finger gun. She then squinted
her eyes, raised the gun to aim at Patrick's head, and coolly pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang!
Miming the sound with her mouth in silence, Dr. Scarlett was pleased to 'blow' Patrick's head apart, as if she was
helping Amelia to vent out her anger for her.

Patrick merely continued to stare at her, not saying a word nor moving an inch.
Scarlett gave him an awkward smile. Then, she aimed the 'muzzle' of the gun at her temple and ‘committed
suicide’.

asking what happened, right?"
Dr. Scarlett whined to Amelia, "You don't ask! When you weren't around just now..."
After she blabbered on about her boldness, Amelia cackled up.
"Wow, | did that to avenge you. How dare you laugh at me!" Dr. Scarlett pretended to be angry and whipped her
head away.
"Well, | won't laugh." Although she said so, the curvature of Amelia's eyes remained lifted.
Dr. Scarlett waved her hands and said, "Forget it. Since you're feeling better now, it was worth it."
