Alice said slowly, "At that time, I was just like you, surprised by the decision Brittany made.
After all, it was impossible for a pampered child like her to get out from the big blows in a short period of time.
And I asked her why she suddenly made such a decision. She said it was because of your words that woke her up."
"Me?" Amelia was confused.
Alice nodded her head and continued, "She didn't tell me the details. She only urged me to contact another university because her marriage with Daniel was already known to everyone in the university she was in before.
In addition, Brittany was applying for wedding leave and maternity leave from her university. Since the baby was gone, there would definitely be a lot of criticisms if they knew it.
So I simply find her another nearest university, so that is easier for her to go home after class, just like how she used to be when she was still in her primary.
But she doesn't agree with it! She said that even if she had to go to the new university, she had to stay far away from Northville, away from this heartrending place.
I thought for a moment and decided to respect her opinion. Then I applied to the new university in the South City for her.
Because I had pulled some string, the admission procedures are done very quickly. Brittany has been gone for quite some time now..."
Amelia frowned and said, "Alice, I think... we wronged Brittany this time. Before leaving Northville, she told me that she wouldn't meet me again in a short time on the phone. But I was worried about other things at that time, so I didn't go deep about it."
The 'other thing' that Amelia mentioned was what Brittany had told her on the phone. About Patrick bringing a beautiful woman to the Gynecologist.
At that time, she only suspected that Patrick had a baby with another woman, so she did not take Brittany's words to heart.
It turned out that Brittany had gone to university.
Amelia, who had completely figured out the matter, said to Alice, who had a melancholy look on her face, "Aunt Alice, I think Brittany's decision is right!"
Think about it. The path of Brittany's life was still very long. She can't let Daniel to fail the rest of her life.
She could learn more useful knowledge and make new friends at the university.
A new person and things could feed her empty soul. It was better than her being trapped in Daniel's room all the time.
By the way, before she left Northville, didn't she request to see Daniel again?"
"Yes, of course she did." When it came to this, Alice got angry. "But I don't know what happened. No matter how we persuade them, the police station that locked Daniel up refused to let us meet Daniel.
Although Daniel has committed a serious crime, he's still Brittany's husband. A while ago, I heard that he was seriously ill and went to the hospital. I don't know if he's better now!"
"Aunt Alice, why don't you..." Amelia wanted to ask why she didn't come to her, because she could force the police to agree with her with the help of The Hopper Family.
But on second thought, rubbish like Daniel did not worth it for her to owe The Hopper Family a favor, so she decided to keep her mouth shut.
Alice was angry for a moment and did not hear Amelia's words.
But Patrick heard it!
However, Patrick hated Daniel as much as he could. It was good enough that he did not send someone to beat Daniel while he was in prison, not to mention to let him meet The Ramsay Family to solve his lovesickness!
In Patrick's view, it was the best that Daniel spent the rest of his life in prison and died of loneliness!
Therefore, as long as Amelia did not make a request, he was happy.
Finally,
Amelia blushed and was defeated. "Aunt Alice, can... can you stop asking..."
She was very felicitated at this moment that George
was in a state where he would not awake once he fell asleep. Otherwise, she would be so embarrassed that she would hit her head against the wall!
However, why would Alice, who looked so noble, would ask these bashful questions. That was too embarrassing!
Seeing that Amelia was shy, Alice felt that she was cute and could not help but say, 'Amelia, what's there to be shy about? If your mother saw you had grown up and get married, she would definitely care about your 'special' problem too."
Upon mentioning her mother, Amelia's body would always feel a sudden burst of emptiness.
Yes, other girls had a mother to universalize their physiological knowledge and teach them about the difference between boys and girls when they were Amelia. Before marriage, they could also discuss some experience of sex with their mother.
But what about her?
This sensitive knowledge was learned by herself step by step.
"I still remember when I came to my first menstruation when I was a kid, it was the class teacher who taught me how to change the sanitary pads..." Amelia thought to herself.
Alice was currently looking at her in guilt and worry. She thought that she had already let go of it, but it seemed that she had not.
Unexpectedly, Amelia suddenly whispered, Aunt Alice... there is nothing wrong with my married life with Patrick. Don't worry about it."
Alice immediately knew that she had given it too much thought. She was relieved and said, "Since your married life was so harmonious, and Patrick respects you and loves you, shouldn't you consider giving birth to a baby with him?"
