Amelia woke up and immediately got out of bed, starting to busy herself with helping Tyler Davis get ready for the day.
"I'm much better now, you should go back to school. You've already been delayed for so many days," Tyler Davis said to the busy Amelia.
Amelia was speechless. It was one thing to not want her to continue her studies before, let alone now that she had been delayed for several days.
But underneath Tyler Davis' seemingly indifferent face, there was a rare pallor and weakness, and his eyes were filled with the message of "don't leave, stay with me". However, he told her to leave quickly and she felt helpless.
Moreover, with Tyler Davis' unpredictable personality, Amelia was certain that as soon as she left, he would get out of bed and start to work, regardless of whether his wounds had properly healed or not.
"Why are you so eager to make me leave? What are you planning to do behind my back?" Amelia asked playfully.
"Nothing, I just...I'm afraid you'll get too tired," Tyler Davis replied.
Of course, this wasn't the only reason. Tyler Davis had been using ruthless methods to deal with a criminal organization recently, and since he had woken up, he couldn't avoid having to continue his work. He just subconsciously didn't want Amelia to see his cruel side.
Tyler Davis sighed inwardly. If Amelia wanted to stay, she could stay. He would just try to handle things while keeping her in the dark as much as possible.
Tyler Davis thought Amelia had taken leave from school. Who knew that she had left Saint Hua secretly overnight? He wondered what had happened, but she still didn't want to leave. She wanted to see Tyler Davis leave the hospital and make sure he was okay before she left.
His injury this time could have been fatal! In his previous life, it might not have seemed like much, but this time, when Amelia heard about it, she felt a piercing pain in her heart, just like when she had been shot before dying in her previous life, watching the blood slowly flow out.
How could she bear to leave at this time?
"Brigadier, these are the urgent matters that have accumulated over the past few days!" Jacob Anderson walked in with a stack of files.
"No, he's a wounded soldier. Can't you let him rest for two days?" Amelia intervened directly.
"But...but these matters are all urgent!" Jacob Anderson protested.
"What's more important, his health or these matters? Jacob Anderson, you've been with Tyler Davis for so long, you can handle the smaller matters yourself. Only bring the truly significant ones to him," Amelia gave the order without hesitation, leaving Jacob Anderson helpless as he looked at Tyler Davis with an expression of "I can't do anything about this, but I'll smile about it anyway."
Jacob Anderson was too straightforward, and asking him to deal with Tyler Davis' affairs was a source of great anxiety for him!
A bunch of documents were ruthlessly reduced to just ten or so by him. With trepidation, he handed them over again, afraid that Amelia might wave her hand and let him handle the rest himself.
Amelia glanced at the quantity and didn't say anything as she took them from him. Jacob Anderson grabbed the opportunity to bolt away, as if afraid that Amelia would hand the files back to him.
Tyler Davis was about to start processing the paperwork when Amelia pushed him back down. "Lie down, I'll read it to you. Don't strain yourself."
Tyler Davis smiled that charming smile of his and obediently lay back down. Amelia's voice was ethereal and gentle, and Tyler Davis found for the first time that processing this paperwork wasn't so boring after all. Jacob Anderson had filtered it too thoroughly, and in fact, leaving a few more papers would have been fine.
After listening to Tyler Davis's handling instructions, Amelia wrote them down on his behalf, making the process easy and pleasant. Amelia never considered that Tyler Davis's files were not something ordinary people could casually read. Any leakage would cause considerable harm to Tyler Davis.
Tyler Davis appeared calm as he allowed Amelia to read and write for him. Despite his naturally suspicious nature, Tyler Davis seemed to have placed all his trust in Amelia.
"Okay, let's call it a day. Tyler Davis, are you tired?" Amelia clapped her hands, neatly packed the documents, and waited for Jacob Anderson to come and take them.
"If you're reading and writing, how could I be tired?"
"Not bad. You deserve a reward." Amelia lowered her head and kissed Tyler Davis's face, but then Ivan Petrov, an unwelcome guest, arrived.
"What a mess! It's completely unprofessional!" Ivan Petrov grumbled.
Amelia was immediately on edge. She had complied with Ivan Petrov's demands when Tyler Davis was in a coma, not because she was afraid of him but because he was a doctor, and she could tolerate him if he was saving Tyler Davis. But Amelia was naturally arrogant, how could she tolerate Ivan Petrov's constant complaints about her lack of professionalism? Besides, she had only kissed Tyler Davis, what was so unprofessional about that?
Amelia decided to provoke Ivan Petrov and kissed Tyler Davis on the face again. "So I'm unprofessional, what are you going to do about it!"
Ivan Petrov was furious, thinking to himself, "See, see, this is the real Amelia. She was just pretending to be meek and obedient all these days. Now her true colors are revealed."
"You, woman, are truly... truly a disaster."
Ivan Petrov had such good manners that he hardly knew how to swear. After struggling for a while, he finally managed to mutter, "harmful!"
Amelia immediately turned around and charmingly said to Tyler Davis, "Tyler Davis, he called me harmful!"
"..." Even someone as well-mannered as Ivan Petrov was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Tyler Davis immediately gave Ivan Petrov a cold stare and said, "Ivan Petrov, your aunt called a while ago and said she missed you and wanted to come back to the US to see you."
Upon hearing this, Ivan Petrov was immediately enraged. He was like an elegant and gentle purebred dog that suddenly got angry and said, "Tyler Davis, you... you can't let my mom come back! I can't handle you two!"
Ivan Petrov was on the verge of tears and couldn't help but glare at Amelia.
"Tyler Davis, he's glaring at me!" Amelia said flatly.
"..."
Ivan Petrov was frozen, realizing that Amelia was not just an ordinary troublemaker, but rather someone who was harming the country and its people!
The mild-mannered Ivan Petrov was about to cry. He finally realized what it meant to be at the mercy of others. Ivan Petrov quickly left in anger. If he couldn't handle it, he couldn't hide from it either!
"How did you scare Ivan Petrov like that, Tyler Davis?" Amelia asked curiously.
"Every time his mother comes back, she looks for potential marriage partners for him!"
"..." Amelia found it funny that someone who didn't even know how to argue or swear would be afraid of arranged marriages.
"Hmm..." Tyler Davis said with a slight rise in his tone.
"What?"
"A reward!"
Amelia was at a loss for words and leaned over to give him a kiss. She wondered why Tyler Davis was becoming more shameless. Wasn't he supposed to be cold and ruthless?
During his recovery, Tyler Davis had been living a more comfortable life than he had in years. Amelia took care of everything for him, and his anger dissipated significantly. Tyler Davis knew that with a woman like Amelia, he might just die of happiness.
