Hearing this, Amelia stopped and asked in puzzlement, "Dr. Scarlett, I've only asked you to stop brewing those tonics for a short period, there's no need to totally stop it."
Scarlett replied awkwardly, "Because I think that Mr. Patrick is in good health and he doesn't need any supplement at all!"
Amelia scratched her head. "What about me? Didn't you say that my stomach and body is weak? Don't I need to be conditioned?"
"You are different!" Scarlett choked and said, "Well then... I will only brew medicines for you then."
"Okay!" Amelia nodded.
"Ms. Amelia, I've suddenly realized that not only Mr. Patrick was eager to have child, you are for it too."
Hearing Dr. Scarlett teasing her, a happy smile appeared on Amelia's face. "I think I am ready to be a mother. As for him, I think...he will be ready soon."
Dr. Scarlett shook her head and said, "Not soon. Mr. Patrick is crazy to have a child! He's been asking me if you are pregnant for several days in a row. I've seen people who are eager to be a father but I've never seen someone so anxious for it."
The smile on Amelia's lips deepened and her happiness was beyond words.
"By the way, have you been at home these days?" Dr. Scarlett asked.
"Yeap, didn't you see it all?"
"Aren't you boring of it?"
Amelia said helplessly, "It's boring but he always uses my leg to make an issue. It's really inconvenient for me to go somewhere too far."
Dr. Scarlett glanced at her heels and said, "But you can already wear shoes."
Amelia was ready to take action. "Why don't we go shopping?"
"I'll accompany you." Dr. Scarlett had her own intention, she did not want to see the stinky man who kissed her by force as she returned to the house!
"Wait a minute. I'll tell that man in black behind me. Let's see if we can leave directly!" Amelia was trying to test her luck.
But as she spoke to the man in black, the man in black immediately took out a walkie-talkie from his waist and contacted Huxton immediately.
After ten seconds or longer, the man in black put down the walkie-talkie and said seriously to Amelia, "Boss Fuller said that you have two options."
Amelia pondered. She stood next to the man in black, so she heard the conversation between Huxton and him.
There were two choices. One was Huxton leading a team of men in black to follow them and the other one was they would be personally escorted by Patrick.
Dr. Scarlett said imperatively beside Amelia, "Mr. Patrick, choose Mr. Patrick!"
Amelia frowned and said, "But Patrick is a very boring person and he's very an*l."
To think about it carefully, most of the people who went out to play with Patrick came back disappointed.
For example, the time when he took Andrew and Ashley to the zoo, Ashley almost fell down from a horse.
Another incident was at the Mount Logan, which was even worse. She guessed that the police were still talking about her 'searching for husband in the mountain' joke in the police station!
Lastly was the incident when they were looking for Lucy at the night club. She was arrested and sent to the police station because of 'hiding drugs'.
Amelia could not help wondering if she would be shot or killed by the police if she went out with Patrick again.
Dr. Scarlett was afraid that Amelia would want to choose Huxton, so she quickly brainwashes Amelia and said, "What are you saying? Mr. Patrick is your husband. Is there any man who is more qualified than him to stand by your side to protect you and accompany you? No! Also, Mr. Patrick is personally accompanying you. How many women dreamt of this but can never have it?"
"Fine..." Amelia was made confused by Scarlett. She reflexively said to the man in black, "Ask your sir to accompany us out."
"Okay!" The man in black lifted the walkie-talkie and conveyed Amelia's message to Huxton. Then Huxton reported it to Patrick.
"Well, let's wait here for him to drive the car over," Amelia said to Dr. Scarlett.
"Okay!" Dr. Scarlett gave a long sigh of relief.
Dr. Scarlett would never expect that Huxton served as the 'chauffeur'!
