Chapter 460
"Alright." Amelia was willing to learn that.
Patrick who was standing by the sideughed suddenly. Hisughter was so loud that it baffled
Fabian and Amelia.
"What are youughing at?" Amelia could not help but ask.
Patrick curled his lips. "I''mughing at... Who would reveal their business secret to their customers?
No wonder this vet doesn''t have any business."
Amelia felt that what he said was very offensive. "Don''t say that. Dr. Lawson is kind."
Patrick said both half-jokingly and seriously, "I thought kindness is dead in modern society?"
Amelia felt embarrassed and said to Fabian, "He''s always like this. Don''t mind him."
Fabian gave a wry smile, "Actually, what your husband said makes sense."
Amelia saw that Fabian seemed to have been dealt a blow. She quickly changed the topic, "Rick
hasn''t recovered yet. Is it better for him to stay here?"
"Hmm," Fabian said, "It''s best for him to stay in my clinic, so I can treat Rick anytime he shows
symptoms."
Amelia looked down at Rick and saw that he seemed to be able to understand their conversation.
He was frowning and looking at her reluctantly. She smiled slightly, "Rick, don''t worry. Rest well
here. We will take you home in a few days. If you can recover quickly, I will prepare your favorite
egg beef soup to reward you."
"Woof." When Rick heard this, he wagged his tail excitedly.
Later, Amelia nced at Patrick. She was trying to prompt him to say some encouraging words to
Rick, "Mr. Hopper, do you have anything to say to Rick?"
The two adults gazed down at the dog. Patrick said in a deep voice, "Don''t die. Otherwise, you
won''t be able to eat anything."
As for Amelia, she should not have expected this man to have said anything nice!
After saying goodbye to Fabian, they walked out of the vet. Amelia patted Patrick''s arm gently, "Why
did you talk to Dr. Lawson like that?"
Patrick agilely grabbed her small hand which she did not have time to pull back. After a while, he
said, "I''m reminding him the rules of doing business. Do you understand that giving him tips like that
will make him better than me in the future?" "I''ve heard the tips before. However, can''t you be a bit
more tactful when you express your good intentions?" Amelia felt helpless.
"Talk to him nicely? Excuse me, I''m a straight forward person. Just like this..."
He lowered his head and suddenly nted a kiss on her cheek. In her little white rabbit-like dull
eyes, Patrick curled his lips slightly, "How about it? Have you seen my true colors?"
That afternoon at Mount Logan.
Amelia looked through the car window in front of her and saw from a distance that the top of Mount
Longan was covered in snow. From top to bottom, the snow slowly melted and gradually
disappeared. She could barely see snow in the middle and lower levels.
Even so, Amelia still couldn''t help but thought, "It''s so cold. It must be very hard to climb to the
peak, mustn''t it? Would she and Patrick freeze to death on the way?"
She was surrounded by a faint pessimistic vibe. Patrick, who was in the driver''s seat, had already
pulled out the car key. He tilted his head and saw that Amelia was cowering like a dog. He could not
help but smack her head from behind.
Of course, he smacked her head lightly.
This was because Patrick knew that Amelia was already very stupid. If he smacked her head too
hard, it may cause brain damaged. This would bring trouble for him in the future.
"What are you waiting for? Come and help to take the luggage."
"Oh!" Amelia responded as she touched the back of her head, which was not very painful.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
When they were by the car boot, she saw Patrick taking out two bulging pieces of luggage from it.
He then took out a backpack and assigned a task to Amelia. "I''ll take these two pieces of luggage.
You''re responsible for carrying the backpack on your back. Is there any problem?"
Amelia shook her head, "I have no problem with that. However, the luggage is filled with cotton-
padded jackets and a tent. Isn''t it too heavy for you?"
Patrick said in a tone of distaste, "Do you think you can help me with that? Look at your tiny arms
and legs..."
Amelia almost burst into tears when she heard this. This man was not romantic at all!
Usually, when a woman asked a man whether the things he was carrying were heavy, he would say
"Don''t worry, I will carry them". Instead, Patrick
actually considered asking her to share the burden!
The most annoying thing was that he even dared to look down on her. It was obvious that in his
eyes, she could not help much but would make a mess instead!
"Yes! I can!" Amelia put a backpack full of food, fruit and towels over her shoulders. Then she
wanted to bend down to carry the luggage on the floor.
However, the pieces of luggage were grabbed by Patrick before she could get them, "Don''t force
yourself."
He said, "Don''t force yourself..."
Amelia''s body froze slightly. When she looked up again, she saw that Patrick was standing a few
steps in front and waiting for her.
His eyes were as indifferent as ever. However, Amelia was aware that there was an unknown
tenderness in his gaze.
Before climbing the mountain, Patrick forked out some money and bought two straw sandals and a
cane from peddlers down the mountain. After that, he handed the two pieces of equipment to
Amelia and said in a deep voice, "If you don''t want your feet to slip, put on the straw shoes."
The method of wearing the straw sandals was to put them over the original shoes like a stic bag.
The bottoms of the straw shoes were rough to give better grip. So, when they climbed the mountain,
they would not slip on the slippery surfaces if they put on these straw sandals.
Amelia looked at her sneakers solely and saw that there were criss-crossed patterns on them. To be
honest, she didn''t need to wear straw sandals. So she intended to give them to Patrick and asked,
"What about you?"
Patrick said, "I don''t need them."
Amelia thought that was great. "Then I don''t have to use them either."
Patrick frowned, "No, you have to put them on! Just in case."
"No... the straw sandals are so ugly," Amelia protested.
Patrick stared at her and suddenly sounded serious, "Amelia, you may be pregnant with my baby
now. Can you please take care of your safety for the sake of our child?"
"Ah?" Amelia said. She was just about to say that Patrick was exaggerating. However, when she
remembered that they did not use protection the past few times, so she nodded, "Okay then." "Wait
a minute!" Patrick sat her on a clean wooden chair with a cold face when he noticed that she was
ready to bend down and put on the straw
shoes. After that, he roughly helped her to put them over her sneakers and tied two straw ropes
behind Amelia''s ankles so that her straw sandals would not fall off.
"I shouldn''t have brought her here to climb the mountain. What if she really has a baby in her belly?
What a dangerous hike!" Patrick cursed under his breath.
