Amelia smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Alright, if you say so. It's late. Let's go."
"Okay!"
Amelia's heart was as clear as a mirror when she caught a glimpse of Alice's expression that she was relieved.
The scandal between Patrick, Sawyer, and herself had become the talk of the town.
Brittany was in the South City, so she must have heard of their scandals.
However, Amelia was not sure if Brittany would introduce Amelia as her elder sister to the outsiders.
Amelia was sure that Brittany would not do that!
With Brittany's arrogance and vain temperament, she would only want to cut off all her ties with the Ramsay Family.
But Amelia did not care. It became a habit for the sisters to go against each other. Amelia would feel strange if Brittany did not make things worse during her bad times.
While retrieving her thoughts, Amelia opened the door.
Before going down the steps, she first looked around carefully to make sure that there were no suspicious people around the community. Only then she stepped out.
At this time, the driver had stopped in front of them on time.
Amelia tilted her head slightly and said to Alice, 'Aunt Alice, please get in the car. Be safe on your way."
"Okay," Alice replied with a smile.
Amelia added, "By the way, I'll visit dad later."
"Okay, okay... We would always welcome you at any time!" After saying that, Alice bowed her head and got into the car.
Amelia then turned and walked in the direction of the garden.
As she walked, she made up her mind that she would have two tasks for the day. One was to send the sedative over to George, and the other was to visit the stubborn Gramps Hopper at one.
When she thought of Gramps Hopper, she could not help but think of the scene where she called Patrick 'brother'.
She got the chance to muddle through it last night, but if he got used to it one day, would she be tortured by him again?
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she did not notice there was a person behind her!
The person behind her tiptoed. When he saw Amelia had been walking forward in a daze, without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand like lightning and used a handkerchief to covered her mouth and nose!
"Um!"
"Stop it... It's itchy..."
What was touching her face?
Amelia opened her eyes with great difficulty with the itchiness and curiosity.
Her dilated pupils slowly focused until a dull little face filled the blurry white shadow. She could not help but call out softly, "Abner?!"
Abner, who was standing by the bed, realized that Amelia had woken up, so he took back his little hand, which was poking her face with a poker face.
Amelia was about to get up, but just a slight movement had made her dizzy.
What was wrong with her?
She still remembered that when she was sorting out her thoughts while walking in the small garden, a strong hand suddenly came from behind!
In her memory, there seemed to be a piece of cloth covering her mouth and nose. She struggled for a while, and she was unconscious after that.
There seemed to be a strange scent lingering at the end of her nose.
At this moment, she was still unaware of that the scent came from a kind of anesthetic called 'Sevoflurane'.
Her long hair was scattered, and her appearance was weak and thin. In an instant, her look highly coincide with that of Sissi's!
But the next second, when he met Amelia's gaze, he knew that he was wrong.
Sissi would not look at him with such hatred in her eyes.
"Dad..." Abner's voice interrupted Sawyer's and Amelia's glances.
Sawyer turned his gaze to Abner and saw the remaining anger on Abner's face. He could not help but reach out his hand to pat Abner's back and say, "Go out and play by yourself. I have something to talk to Amelia."
Abner nodded obediently. Before he left, he did not even look at Amelia. It was obvious that he had a grudge against her.
As soon as Abner left, Amelia immediately questioned Sawyer unhappily, "Sawyer, what had your men done to me? Why did I passed out all of a sudden?"
Sawyer said softly, "The thing that caused you to faint was a kind of anesthetic."
"What?"
"Don't worry. Brayden always has his ways in terms of limitation. It won't cause any damage to your body."
Amelia said sarcastically, "I hope so. Look at him, he looks like a villain, and his behavior is even worse!"
Sawyer's reaction was dull. "It was you who broke the agreement at first. Brayden was forced to do so."
Amelia was so angry that her nose was out of joint. "How dare you talk about the agreement with me? Did I agreed that you could make used of me to bring shame to the Hopper Family?"
Sawyer said without any burden, "I only recognize the contract. They were all written in black and white. I invested in Apex, and you're suppose to tutor Abner. As for others, Ms. Ramsay could regard it as water under the bridge and forget it."
Amelia said anxiously, "Water under the bridge? It's easy for you to say. Don't you know that I'm not even dare to walk on the street now?"
Sawyer seemed to be keeping himself out of the matter as he asked, "Why wouldn't you dare?"
