Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 766

The moment when Amelia turned around and got down from bed, she was overwhelmed by a rush of dizziness. She could not help placing her hand over her forehead.

The next second, someone had marched into the ICU room and reached out to pull her into his embrace.

Staring at his shirt collar, Amelia murmured, "Kaiden, please bring me home now."

Lowering his gaze, all Kaiden could see was that Amelia was closing her eyes shut. Her eyelashes trembled as if she was suffering a great deal of discomfort. The woman who had always managed to fight him off was extremely vulnerable at this moment. Kaiden was supposed to shove her off and sneered at her.

But the truth was he could not help puffing his chest so that Amelia could rest her head on it. Meanwhile, his voice was delicately soft when he said, "You can take a rest first."

Even Amelia could not stand his sudden compassion. She helped herself up in reliance of the support of his sturdy chest. Upon standing straight, she glanced at him stubbornly and said, "No, I really have to go back now."

Seeing that she insisted, Kaiden had no other choice but to say, "Fine then."

However, he did not lead the way from the front. Instead, he had squatted down a little to carry her in his arms.

This had taken Amelia by surprise. Not knowing where should she placed her hands, she exclaimed, "Hey! You!"

Carrying her still, Kaiden turned around and casually said, "Shut up!"

With her face flushing red, Amelia's limbs were struggling frantically in the air while she shouted, "Put me down now! I can walk on my own!"

Amelia could catch him sighing despite it being unnoticeable, "I have phobia towards women. So you don't have to worry that I will take advantage of you."

There was a trace of sadness lingered within his sentence.

She was silent for some time as she was not sure of how to comfort the saddened guy in front of her.

She then asked, "Do you resist any contact with your mom?"

"No, I don't." "Then had you been harassed by women before?" Kaiden's eyes were painted with coldness as he replied, "It was something common during my young age."

Amelia crossed her arms and rephrased in curiosity, "Something common?"

Kaiden frowned. Perhaps it was a humiliation for him to bring up the past, hence he explained gradually, "Yes. Those aunties used to pinch my cheek and call me 'cutie' while my female classmates would like to steal a kiss or hug from me when I wasn't paying attention. In worst case, they will regard themselves as my girlfriends and rumors will spread across the school..."

Hearing this, Amelia broke out in a cold sweat. He had encountered all sort of harassment from the female around him during his young age. There was no wonder that Kaiden would resist any contact with women upon growing up.

Amelia continued to listen to his story attentively as they left...

At this time, Savannah sighed in relief after she had done hanging the blood bag for Abner on behalf of Dr. Cabell. She turned around to look for Amelia.

However, Amelia was nowhere to be seen.

There was a trace of regret flashing across her face.

As night fell on the Land of Fragrance.

A silvery-white sports car sped in the wind and eventually stopped by the side.

The beam of street lights had fallen on Amelia's face through the car window which made her dazzlingly beautiful.

Kaiden glanced at Amelia who had fallen asleep as a result of keeping her eyes close. He thought of waking her up. But as soon as his gaze fall on her lips, he hesitated.

It seemed like she had already fallen asleep.

He wondered if she would feel him kissing her.

With this idea in mind, Kaiden slowly loosened his grip on the steering wheel and approached her delicate face...

It was getting very close.

He was so close that he could hear Amelia's breathing!

Kaiden could not help slavering. He could feel the nervousness as if he was about to commit a crime.

Just as he lowered his head and their lips were about to collide, Amelia abruptly opened her eyes. He could feel as if her eyes had burnt him!

Amelia looked at him quietly while his face was getting red. She could tell that his mood was getting worsen as time passed...

Eventually, it was Kaiden who broke the silence between the two of them. He gritted his teeth and managed to ask, "Weren't you sleeping all this while?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Amelia looked into his eyes and answered innocently, "I was just dozing off."

Kaiden asked with his voice low, "This means that you do know what I was doing, don't you?"

Glancing at Kaiden's mouth, Amelia replied meaningfully, "I wasn't sure about it just now, but I guess now I know."

Kaiden was so furious to the extent that he wished he could kill her right away. He questioned sharply, "Then why didn't you dodge?"

Amelia thought for awhile before she said, "I guess opening up my eyes is kind of one of the ways to reject you indirectly."

What the f*ck!

Kaiden's expression darkened. He wondered if he should thank Amelia for saving his face by not exposing him.

"Can you move away a little? I can't move my head." Upon asking for this favor, Amelia dared not to shuffle too much as she was afraid that their lips were going to meet accidentally.

Right this moment, Kaiden really wished to bite her mouth forcefully. But he chose to make way for her anyway. He knew too well what was the feeling to be kissed by others without permission.

Seeing that he had suppressed his emotions and returned to his seat, Amelia knew it would be best not to trigger him. She hurriedly said, "Thank you for sending me back." With that said, Amelia could not wait to open the door and get down from the car.

Kaiden, who was left behind in the car, stared at the back of Amelia who had now vanished in the dark. The corner of his mouth twitched but he was not smiling at all!

In any case, he was determined to join her company!

As for the heart of Amelia, he too...

Too what?

Kaiden withheld his breath so that he could get rid of the ridiculous idea on his mind!

"Ms. Amelia, you're finally home!'

After passing through the pathway in the garden, Amelia bumped into Huxton and Scarlett who were both looking anxious standing at the staircase. Amelia asked, "Are you guys waiting for me?"

Scarlett nodded her head vigorously while Huxton replied, "Yes."

"Why aren't you waiting for me at home? What are you doing here?" With each of her hands pressing on their shoulders respectively, Amelia shoved them into the house.

Amelia peeked at the shoe cabinet in particular when she walked pass it. Upon seeing the leathered shoes of Patrick, she became tensed.

But as soon as she remembered that she had informed Patrick regarding her schedule beforehand earlier of the day itself, her nervousness faded.

Upon entering the house, Amelia heard Scarlett asking, "Ms. Amelia, where have you been today? Why did you return home late?"

Amelia immediately glanced at Huxton upon hearing her question. She wondered if Huxton had not been telling Scarlett of her whereabout.

Noticing that Amelia was staring at him, Huxton distantly said, "I'm going to get dinner done." With that said, he turned around and headed in direction of the kitchen, leaving the two of them behind.

Amelia stared at his back and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

Scarlett grumbled, "It's Mr. Hopper!"

"Hmm?" Amelia asked concerningly, "What does this has to do with Patrick?"

Scarlett explained, "After Mr. Hopper returned home from work, he had asked Huxton of your whereabout. But Huxton told him that it'd be better for him to know nothing of it. I guess this sentence had triggered Mr. Hopper. That's why he chased Huxton out."
