Rubbing her temples, Amelia refreshed herself and asked, "They were indeed hired by Daniel. So what? Did you and your husband pay any cent fortheir salary?"
Brittany gritted her teeth and said somewhat unreasonably, "You're trying to make things hard for us! I'm only a student now, and Daniel is in jail. Do you think we can afford the salary of the servants?"
Amelia said coldly, "It seems that you are not brainless either. I might as well make it clearer on your basis. If it weren't for me supporting the company, not to mention the salary of the servants, even Aunt Alice and you would have become homeless!"
Brittany's expression changed drastically. That was why she hated Amelia so much!
Because Amelia was not only aggressive, but also very direct, making it impossible for her to refute. She could only suppress such depression again and again!
Amelia turned her eyes to inside the room and said, "By the way, what are you doing in dad's and Aunt
Alice's bedroom?"
Brittany's voice trembled slightly. "What about you? Shouldn't you be working at dad's company? Why did you come back so early?"
"Brittany, don't try to change the topic," Amelia said in a low voice.
Brittany pretended to be calm and said, "I'm looking for an old picture of my parents and I. Is this fine enough?"
Amelia was puzzled. "Why are you looking forthat?"
Brittany glared at her and said, "Of course to take a look at it for self-comforting purpose. Do you think that everyone is an indestructible superwoman like you?"
Amelia spoke out her mind, "I just can't believe that you have someone else in your mind other than Daniel. It's a miracle."
Brittany said angrily, "Don't think that I can't tell that you're mocking me! They're my parents! They're equally important to me!"
"Yes, yes, everyone is equally important..." Amelia replied perfunctorily and changed the subject. "But
I'm curious about one thing. Why did you close the door to look for a picture?"
Brittany's eyes slightly trembled as she said, "I just closed it casually. It was unintentional."
Amelia's question came one after another, "Why didn't you open the door when I knocked it just now?"
"That's because I've fallen down! It's all your fault for knocking on the door all of a sudden, that gave me a fright!" Brittany put the blame on her.
"I see." Amelia checked on her with a fake smile. "So where did you hurt? Your mouth? Can't you simply answer me after you fell?"
"I'm already in pain. How would I have the mood to answer you?" Brittany's gaze suddenly focused on the bag on Amelia's left. "What medicine are you holding in your hand?"
In a shock, Amelia subconsciously hid the medicine bag behind her.
But her action had made Brittany to suspect even more and the tables had turned. "What exactly is it? What medicine did you buy behind our back?"
Amelia tried to sound normal, "It's just some common drug."
Brittany stretched out her hand, "I happened to suffer from stomach discomfort for the past two days. Show me the bag and I'll see if there is any medicine that I could take."
"Coincidentally, I truly don't have anything you need here. You may go buy it yourself. I'll go back to my room." Amelia said coldly, then quickly turned
around and left.
"Amelia, walk carefully! Don't fall down like me!"
After saying ironically, Brittany got back into George's and Alice's bedroom again.
"Really?" When Amelia heard Dr. Walker boasting about the drug, she felt that it was unreal as happiness came too suddenly.
Dr. Walker said sincerely, "It's true! Such drug is very effective in restoring human body functions. If it is examined more throughly, it will definitely benefit more patients! Ms. Ramsay, please excuse me for asking, where did you get the drug? Should it be from the best medical institution in the world?"
"I..." Amelia did not know how to respond.
Through the phone, Dr. Walker's voice was full of obsession. "If possible, can I continue to study it?"
Amelia finally believed that it was true, "No, no, no! Dr. Walker, you clearly know that I need the drug urgently! You should still be in the laboratory now, right?"
Dr. Walker answered, "Yes, I am."
Amelia immediately said, "Then please send the drug to Alice in person. I will call to inform her about it. Thank you, Dr. Walker."
After ending the call with Dr. Walker, Amelia turned to call Alice.
Of course, she would not tell Alice the truth. She would only tell her that a doctor surnamed 'Walker' was about to send her some nutrients, which would have some help on George's recovery.
Alice naturally believed that each of Amelia's words was true.
After the matter was handed over, Amelia put an end to it.
When she was taking a shower, she once again felt a faint pain in her stomach.
She finally did not dare to care less about it so she sped up the shower.
After that, she walked out of the bathroom with her wet hair hanging over her shoulders. She took out the bag of medicine from the drawer and ate it according to the medical advise...
