Amelia's gaze was shed with different light. She reached out her phone in the pocket and said, "Considering that you're still quite cooperative, I can call her now."
Huxton could not help feeling overjoyed.
Seeing that Huxton could no longer resist his excitement, Amelia suddenly said, "Nonetheless, you have to apologize to her for your behavior the other day. Not only that, you can't chase her away as you wish in future. She is my doctor, only I can decide whether she should stay or leave!"
After a while.
Amelia finally heard Huxton saying in an almost inaudible voice, "Alright..."
"Okay, I'll call her now." Amelia replied without hesitation.
Huxton's tensed expression relaxed a little. However, as soon as he saw Amelia dialed a series of number and pressed the call button, he could feel his heart racing again.
After a moment of silence, Amelia spoke softly to the phone, "Hello? Is this Dr. Scarlett? I'm Amelia..."
He could not hear what had the person said over the phone replied. However, he could see that Amelia looked surprised all in a sudden and she exclaimed exaggerating^, "What? You're Dr. Scarlett's boyfriend?"
As soon as Amelia's voice fell, Huxton's always emotionless expression changed as if he was struck by a lightning.
Amelia secretly glanced at Huxton. At first glance, she could tell that Huxton was struck by this bad news and that he was truly disappointed.
Amelia could hear a confused female voice speaking at the other end of the call, "Boyfriend? What are you saying, Ms. Amelia? It's me, Dr. Scarlett. I don't have any boyfriend..."
During this period of time, Amelia let out a few strange cries which completely covered Dr. Sacrlett's voice from echoing.
In the face of Huston's insidious gaze, Amelia suddenly gasped. She slammed on the table and stood up immediately before she shouted at Scarlett who could not be any more confused, "What?! Mr. Larson, you said that you are getting married with Dr. Scarlett this coming June? Does that mean you will become her husband after this? How can she hide such a big news from me... Mr. Larson, can you do me a favor and pass the phone to Dr. Scarlett? I must scold her now. Um... Alright, I can
wait..."
The next second, Amelia suddenly changed to a familiar tone and said angrily, "Dr. Scarlett, this is your fault. Why didn't you tell me that you have a boyfriend? I have always taken you as my friend... Hey! Huxton! Why are you snatching my phone?!"
Amelia shifted her gaze and pretended to stare at the restlessly anxious man in anger.
"Let me talk to her." His expression and tone were icy cold.
With that said, Huxton took over her phone without waiting for her permission. He spoke to the phone "Its me."
Dr. Scarlett was already in the middle of confusion after speaking to Amelia. She subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
Couldn't she even recognize his voice anymore?
Huxton's heart sank. He fired away his question, "Where are you now?"
Dr. Scarlett replied in a daze, "At home."
Huxton frowned and shouted, "Give me your address!"
Dr. Scarlett blurted out her address without hesitation.
A hint of determination flashed across his eyes,
"Don't leave! I'm coming over now!"
With that said, he threw the phone at Amelia and stormed away!
After hearing the loud bang of door slamming shut, finally Amelia no longer had to resist herself from laughing!
She slammed so hard at the dinning table that she did not bother to care if she had misbehaved, "How can Huxton be so funny..."
Hold on!
Amelia suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
She almost forgot that Huxton might have installed voice tapping device on her. She must be extremely careful not to expose herself at this very moment.
