"Miss, didn't I tell you that you should take more rest with this hand, you should know how to take care of your body."
The older doctor's tone was stern but reasonable, and Amelia was a little guilty from the lecture, "So, doctor, can you correct my hand?"
The doctor looked askance at her and said in a serious tone, "Yes, but the efficacy of my bonesetting technique needs your cooperation, otherwise I can't cure you even if my technique is good!"
Amelia was obedient and said, "I promise I won't use it to work for the next few days!"
On the bus back to Land of Fragrance, she had just approached the courtyard when she saw the pansy plants all faded. The flowers drooped listlessly to the ground, the branches pressed with snow and the leaves were frozen in ice.
Amelia smiled wryly. Flowers were indeed fragile, just like how Patrick treated her well, which was transient...
Ding-dong...
She silently calculated the date. Today was the day the cleaners came to clean up, so Amelia, who did not bring the key, rang the doorbell.
The door was opened soon. After greeting the cleaners, Amelia looked up at the living room. The house was empty. Except for the clean ladies and Rick, Patrick and his sister were not home.
Rick has slowly started to grow up, he walked when he woke up from a nap, and when he heard the door open, he barked weakly and walked towards Amelia with his furry body, very cute!
Amelia squatted down and picked him up. She looked into his big black eyes and said, "Are you hungry?"
Her gentle whisper was completely different from Patrick's. Rick comfortably rubbed the back of her hand with his head and yelped to show that he was really hungry.
Amelia touched its back and said lovingly, "I'll make some milk right now. Wait here!"
After soaking the milk powder with warm water, Amelia suddenly heard the home phone rang. She poured the milk into the basin in a hurry and put it in front of Rick. Seeing that Rick knew how to drink it, she was relieved to answer the phone.
When she picked up the phone, Amelia heard a warm but dignified voice immediately, "Hello, is this Amelia's home?"
"Yes, this is Amelia speaking."
"Oh, the thief you reported to us last night was captured by us at an apartment this morning. As for the property you lost, it was seized by the police at XX Police Station. If you are convenient, you can come over and identify it."
Amelia's eyes lit up with joy. "Really? That's great! I'll be there right now!"
Although she seemed to be indifferent with it in front of Granny Hopper, the bag contained a key, an ID card, a bank card, and other things that represented her identity. If they were lost, it would be very troublesome.
Putting down the phone, Amelia said bye to the clean ladies, put on her coat and went out.
As she arrived at the door, she ran into Patrick, who just came back. Amelia pulled up her coat and felt that his eyes were so cold, even colder than the snowy day outside.
"Amelia!" As soon as Patrick saw her, he immediately strode after her, clutching her arm tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away again. "You came back, huh?"
Amelia frowned and said, "I don't have time to entangle with you now. Let go of me first!"
"No way!" Patrick dragged her into the house. He had several scores waiting to be settled with her!
