Hearing the sound of the door opening, Milton tried his best to turn his head to have a look. When he saw Amelia beside Sierra, he was stunned and said, "Amelia, why are you here again? Did you leave something behind?"
"No." Amelia smiled at him. "Let's talk about it later."
"Okay." With the male nurse's help, Milton lay back on his bed. He only moved a little, but he was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat.
Sierra had turned around and wiped her tears with distress. Amelia felt better, but her heart was still aching.
"Alright, then. You can leave now," Milton said after sending off the caretaker. Then, he turned to Sierra and said, "Mother, I want to eat dumplings. Can you buy me some dumplings nearby?"
Since the incident, Milton had barely eaten or drank anything. When Sierra heard that he wanted to eat something, she agreed immediately. "I will buy it for you right now!"
In the end, she said to Amelia, "Amelia, please take care of Milton. I'll be back soon!"
"I will. Aunt Sierra, no rush." After watching her walk out of the ward, Amelia turned to Milton and said, "I just went to the Home of Smith"
In Milton's bright eyes, Amelia continued, "But I didn't see Maryanne."
"Is it...?" An undisguisable feeling of loss surrounded Milton.
Amelia smoothed out the wrinkles on his pillow and said, "But I heard some news from Hobart's mouth, but I don't know if it's true or not. Do you want to hear?"
"Mm!" Milton said heavily.
"One is that Maryanne is not in the Home of Smith right now, and the other is that Hobart's men are constantly keeping watch on her."
Upon hearing this, Milton immediately became restless, "Maryanne is not in the Home of Smith? Then where can she be?" "Don't worry!" Seeing that he was about to sit up, Amelia quickly pressed him on the shoulder and said, "First of all, I said I don't know whether it's true or not. Secondly, if it's true, Hobart's people are bound to protect her. She'll be fine!"
Milton was obviously confused. "Maryanne was knocked out and taken away, but she had nothing on her except for the pocket money I gave her! No, I need to find her. I need to find her immediately!"
Amelia was so angry that she put on a cold face and shouted, "I said, Hobart won't let anything happen to her! Do you want me to slap you directly so that you can hear what I said?"
"Amelia..." Milton suddenly used his intact hand to pull Amelia's sleeves, "Help me find Maryanne! I beg you! "
"Even if you don't plead with me, I will find her for you." Amelia looked at him with a firm expression. The tip of her nose pricked up. "It was you who took the undeserved calamity for Mr. Hopper. I... I'm sorry."
Milton shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "No, I am the one who really hurt Maryanne the most. It's a pity that I don't even have the ability to stand up now, let alone go to her side to protect her..."
"Don't be depressed anymore. You'd better recover from your injury and then take Maryanne abroad!" Amelia said.
"Go abroad?" A yearning look appeared on Milton's face.
"Yes, go abroad where no one can find you, and start a new life without worry."
Amelia's sweet and soft voice instantly reached the point of people's hearts.
In the midst of this voice, Milton slowly fell asleep.
He had not slept for the whole night. His body was exhausted from the torture of worry and pain. When Amelia promised to help him find Maryanne and gave him a symbol of the beautiful future, his tight heart slightly relaxed and fell asleep.
Seeing that he did not forget to hold on to his sleeves when he was asleep, one could imagine how deep his obsession was.
She would help him.

On the other side.
Maryanne woke up crying.
In her dream, she saw Milton's left leg had been broken. When he had fallen to his knees, those people had immediately caught her!
Just as they wanted to take her away, Milton stretched out his right hand and grabbed her calf!
"I... I don't know either. Wait a minute!" Maryanne thought that it was more important to meet up with Milton more quickly than to cry.
She ran to the window and opened the curtains, seeing a famous building in the Northville.
Seeing this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Great! I am still in Northville. Where are you now? I will go and find you right away!"
After a pause, Milton told her the hospital and ward he was in.
Hearing this, Maryanne's throat seemed to have been blocked by a piece of cotton. She didn't know if the group of people who
kidnapped her had done anything to Milton after she was knocked unconscious. This made her burst into tears again. "... Don't, don't scare me. What's wrong with you! "
"It's just a minor injury. It doesn't matter."
"Minor injury? Minor injury again! Do they think you have not enough minor injuries?"
Maryanne trembled with anger, but she was not charging at Milton, but at the group of people who had made their move.
"Maryanne, stop crying. I'll feel sorry for you."
"Wait for me. I'll go and find you now!"
Maryanne threw away the phone, opened the door and rushed out.
As a result, she saw two tall young men standing at the door. A hint of familiarity flashed through her eyes, and then she remembered that they were the people who rushed into the hotel room last night!
She was so angry that she rushed to beat them, but no matter how much her hands hurt, they didn't even frown.
When Maryanne stopped panting, one of them said, "Miss, although we've brought you to the hotel to rest, we won't provide you any help once you wake up, so... Wait, where are you going, Miss?"
