When Amelia Bright woke up, the first thing she saw was the pure white ceiling hangings of the hospital, and just as she moved her body, a painful pinprick came from her right hand.
“Don’t move.”
A hand pressed her arm, “Infusion, then move the hand punctured also have to re-pin a needle.”
Her gaze shifted slightly to the right and she saw the man sitting next to her.
Gellar Jaxton Olson.
“How is it you?”
As soon as she spoke, she was surprised by the hoarseness and weakness of her voice.
“Last time I drove you back in your car, I left something in your car, so I looked for you to get something, I didn’t expect such a coincidence again …”
It really is a coincidence.
Amelia Bright pulled at the corners of her mouth and found she couldn’t laugh.
Her hand touched the small of her back under the covers.
“The baby is fine.”
Gellar Jaxton Olson saw her fear and his voice lightened a few notches, “The doctor said you were too emotionally up and down, plus the weakness caused by the irregular diet during this time, although there are bleeding symptoms, it’s not serious, just take care of it.”
Hearing these words, Amelia Bright’s tense nerves only gradually relaxed, and the blood on her face was also recovered a little.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, it’s a big help.”
Gellar Jaxton Olson sat upright, his face clear of too much emotion.
“Did you leave something behind? I can send my friend to fetch it for you.”
“Let’s wait until you’re out of the hospital, not in too much of a hurry,” he said in a light tone.
“It’s not that it’s not urgent, but it’s something very important you don’t trust anyone else to know, right?”
Amelia Bright leaned back on the pillow, her eyes still hiding a few wise words despite her weakness.
Gellar Jaxton Olson showed some slight surprise and said with interest.
“How do you know?”
“If it wasn’t urgent or important, you could have called me and sent someone to pick it up instead of coming in person.”
“No wonder the Austin territory has expanded so quickly this year.”
Gellar Jaxton Olson was stunned for a second, then curled his lips and smiled lightly.
“Miss Bright is also really a lady with a heart of gold, but I am very puzzled is, you are so smart a person, how would you let your husband outside at such a time of pregnancy rumors, and you are not even a person around to look after yourself?”
Amelia Bright’s expression faltered slightly.
It seemed that Noah Zhao was right, Farren Austin and Calla Moon’s affair had already been widely publicized, and with the status of the Austin family and the wide range of friends she had made over the past six months, I’m afraid it had already become a laughing matter after dinner.
“Mr. Gellar in the financial world, but in front of the divorce settlement, is not also helpless?”
Gellar Jaxton Olson is one of those people who will hit you the more you show weakness, so even if she didn’t feel like fighting with him at this moment, she had to make a strong effort to poke him to show that her will power is still unbreakable and not something he can hit with just a few words.
Sure enough, after saying this, Gellar Jaxton Olson’s face has a green color hidden, although it is angry but also did not continue the topic.
The wise man tried a sentence or two, and then knew that revealing each other’s scars is a very stupid thing, hurt the enemy a thousand self-loss eight hundred.
“Seeing that you have nothing to do, I will leave first, I will come to you to get something after you are discharged from the hospital.”
“Wait a minute.”
Amelia Bright called out to him, “Where’s my phone?”
Gellar Jaxton Olson frowned.
“You didn’t tell me to bring your phone with me before I brought you to the hospital.”
“Then lend me your phone.”
“That’s not like you to lend something.”
“Are you going to get an attitude with a patient?”
Gellar Jaxton Olson stood for a moment, pulled the phone out of his pocket and handed it over.
Amelia Bright thought back for a moment, followed her memory and remembered Danna Keller’s number to dial.
“Hello?”
“Danna Keller, it’s me.”
“Amelia … you … where have you been and how are you doing?”
Imagine Danna Keller buy groceries back, see home door open, broken windows, living room floor and a puddle of blood, probably scared.
Across the phone, Amelia Bright could feel her panic, too.
“I’m fine, I’m at the hospital.”
“Which hospital?”
Asked this, Amelia Bright also froze for a moment, subconsciously looking at Gellar Jaxton Olson next to her.
He said, gently.
“Hounslow Military Hospital.”
At the end of the sentence, Amelia Bright’s heart suddenly tightened, Halyn Austin is also hospitalized in the military hospital.
But the military hospital was the closest to where she lived, and it was only natural that Gellar Jaxton Olson would send her here.
“Military hospital? What’s with the male voices?”
Danna Keller’s voice on the other end of the line pulled her back to her thoughts, “It’s a long story.”
She glanced at Gellar Jaxton Olson, “I’ll explain it to you later, I’ll be in the hospital for about two days, bring me two changes of clothes when you come.”
“Okay, I know, are you really okay?”
“Really, I’m fine.”
Danna Keller double-checked a few times before she let go.
After the call hung up, Gellar Jaxton Olson glanced at his wrist, a powerful wrist with a valuable Vacheron Constantin, and after checking the time held out his hand toward Amelia Bright for his own phone.
“Okay, I’ve got to go.”
“Not yet.”
Amelia Bright held his phone and didn’t have any intention of returning it, “You can wait a little longer, you can leave when my friend comes.”
Gellar Jaxton Olson looked like he didn’t believe his ears when he said that.
“What did you say?”
Amelia Bright looked at him cautiously and said stiffly.
“That, I’m here alone, in case a bit of someone wants to harm me, you see, you sent me here, you can’t get away with it.”
After all, I have known Gellar Jaxton Olson for so many years, although a little afraid of him because of childhood shadows, but he has helped himself twice, that little childish fear is almost worn away, and now see him more trust.
Gellar Jaxton Olson is at least the man he has called his brother for more than 20 years.
“Miss Bright, do you have paranoia?”
“Consider it a favor to do a good deed.”
“What if I don’t help?”
“Then you go.”
With that, Amelia Bright tucked her phone under the covers in front of him, staring with innocent eyes and blinking.
Gellar Jaxton Olson’s brow jumped hard, probably because he had never seen such a rogue woman in his life, and his face turned blue for a moment.
The atmosphere stagnated, and after a long time, half of it did not slow down.
“Okay, I’m not leaving, you first give me the phone.”
“No, what if you give it to me and you run away?”
See Gellar Jaxton Olson’s face has begun to sink, Amelia Bright only began to some fear, carefully will be the phone out of the quilt, with a mosquito-like voice said.
“Give it back.”
Gellar Jaxton Olson grabbed the phone, turned around and walked away.
“Brother Jaxton Olson!”
The voice that rang out from the ward was not very loud, a little hoarse, but mixed with trust and eagerness, as if it was the only hope coming from the depths of the abyss, a heavy force pressed down on Gellar Jaxton Olson’s back, stopping him in his tracks for a moment.
“What did you call me?”
He turned back around, and for a moment in a trance, it was as if he saw the little girl he hadn’t seen in sickbay for so long.
