Amelia then moved his legs which were out of the quilt into it.
After making sure that he was not in contact with the cold ground, Amelia felt relieved.
She clapped her hands and was about to stand up but then, she heard something rang the next second.
Following the source, she leaned down and stroked over Patrick's body. Finally, she found his ringing cell phone from his trouser's left pocket.
Amelia took the phone and look at it, and her expression saying, "As predicted."
She glanced at Patrick and saw that he was frowning. However, he still did not look like he was going to wake up.
She had no choice but to answer the call. She covered her mouth with the other hand and said, "Hello, Paisley?"
Paisley, who was about to get even with Patrick was enraged but when she recognized Amelia's voice, she immediately said, "Oh, it's you! Is that fellow with you now?" "Yeap," said Amelia softly.
Paisley smiled and said, "It's a relief to know this! A few moments ago, a man in black knocked on my door and told me that Patrick was gone, upon hearing that I was almost scared to death..."
Amelia reckoned that Patrick was really an inconsiderate person and said, "I'm sorry he caused you trouble."
"It's alright, I'm used to it! It would be strange if he could just stay at home for the whole day. By the way, his fever has almost subsided and I'll leave tomorrow morning. These two days... I felt like a guard here to make sure everything is safe and sound more than a doctor." Paisley said with a hint of self-mockery.
Amelia found it funny and said, "We can't afford to invite such a beautiful girl with high education level to be our guard."
"Oh, stop it!" Paisley exclaimed.
The two of them teased each other for a while before Paisley brought the conversation to an end, "It's getting late."
After Amelia ended the call, she put the phone back into Patrick's pocket. While she was doing it, she was afraid that she would make Patrick uncomfortable so she decided to place the phone at the bedside table.
Then, she straightened up from the blanket and walked towards the door.
Qian Qian was standing upright, outside the door.
She was holding another quilt with a pillow on it.
Even though Amelia did not close the door after she came out, Kiara's eyes were still fixed on the pillow and she did not dare to glance into the room.
"You can just give it to me now." Seeing that the little girl's face was almost hidden behind the pillow, Amelia could not help but smile.
Qian Qian stretched out her hand and handed the pillow and blankets into Amelia's embrace.
Amelia then said, "Thank you. You may leave now."
"Yes, miss." Even though she should not have done that, she could not help but peek into the room before she left.
After all, Patrick was such a good-looking man. How could any girl not have a crush on him?
Upon peeking into the room, Qian Qian was shocked. Patrick was actually sleeping on the floor?! Who would believe it if this were to be told to anyone else?
Even she who had seen it with her own eyes could not believe it at all, let alone spreading rumors about it!
Not only that, Patrick had his eyes on Amelia all the time. His eyes were filled with sweetness and love which was ineffable.
As an outsider, Qian Qian felt that her heart was melting when she saw Patrick's eyes.
