Amelia's look became strange as she raised her wine glass and drank off.
After a while, another unknown call came in. Milton turned his phone off directly.
Suddenly remembering how excited Florence was when she got Milton's phone number, Amelia suspected Florence.
Seeing Amelia anxious, Milton asked, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Amelia quickly sat upright.
This further proved that she felt guilty, so Milton asked, "Are you the one leaking my contact?"
Amelia quickly retorted, "No way!"
She answered too fast to be real. Milton poked her blushing face and threatened, "Be honest."
Alright.
Amelia briefly told Milton that Florence had asked her for his number and said, "But I'm not sure if she was really the one. Why don't you withdraw your complaint and give her a chance?"
An idea stroke Milton and he said, "Give me her phone number. I'll talk to her."
Amelia said, "You won't hurt her, will you?"
Milton glared at her and said, "I never punish ladies but just want to teach her a lesson."
Amelia was worried and said, "Then promise me to talk to her friendly. Don't be rude to her."
Milton raised his three fingers and said, "I swear."
After Amelia gave Milton Florence's phone number, she felt that she was like a matchmaker, trying to let them know each other. But Milton and Florence really looked like a good match, what if they could tie the knot?

It was late at night.
Leaving Moonlight Bay, Amelia took a look at the time, but saw a missed call from Patrick. She didn't hear it as the bar was too noisy.
Milton told her to get in the car.
Amelia lowered her body and sat down. As she fastened her seat belt, she called Patrick back and he immediately picked the call.
He asked directly, "Where are you?!"
Amelia told, "Outside."
"Where exactly?" There was a hint of coldness in Patrick's voice.
His roar made Amelia unhappy and she said, "I'm almost home! That's all!"
Milton looked at her frowning face and asked, "You quarrelled?"
Amelia said with pity, "It's more miserable if there is no quarrel."
In the emergency center.
Staring at the phone that had been hung up, Patrick felt disappointed as he rushed back to pick Amelia, but only to be told by Alice that she had left.
Calculating the time when she left the hospital, she should have been at home earlier.
