Chapter 148 He Was Just a Patient
Amber saw the disdain in Amelia's eyes.
Amber's gaze changed slightly. She had prepared a carefully crafted speech and thought about how to explain it to Amelia Davi, along with some follow-up questions.
However, when she faced Amelia, not only could she not stir up any emotions in her, but she was also insulted by Amelia.
Over the past three years, Amber had gained a large number of fans.
She had always pretended to be a wealthy woman with a good family background in front of her fans.
The fans believed it and praised her highly.
So over the past three years, Amber had been almost carried along by her fans. Sometimes, after hearing too many flattering words, Amber began to think that she was born that way.
But she still couldn't completely get rid of the inferiority in her heart.
Standing in front of Amelia, she understood what a truly privileged family was, and she was just a fraud.
The things she boasted about were what she worked hard to obtain, but Amelia didn't care about those at all and could easily discard them.
Amelia put down the cup in her hand and glanced over Amber.
She picked up the medical book on the table again and said leisurely, "I thought that I could have a valuable conversation with you after three years, but it turned out to be a boring discussion, which disappointed me. At the last commendation ceremony, you relied on someone else's recommendation to forcibly participate, right?"
Amber's expression stiffened at Amelia's words.
To attend the commendation ceremony, she had been working hard all last year, actively engaging in activities beneficial to farmers.
She could have made a lot of money, but to attend the commendation ceremony, she hardly made any money in this field last year.
She deliberately guided the farmers she helped to write recommendation letters and reached agreements to continue helping them sell fruits next year to get the opportunity to attend the commendation ceremony.
Amber gritted her teeth in anger, staring displeasedly at Amelia. "Ms. Davis, you seem to have forgotten that you are the one who took someone else's spot to attend the commendation ceremony, while I was recommended."
Amelia raised an eyebrow and glanced lightly at Amber with a faint smile.
The speech Amber made on the day of the commendation ceremony was probably not heard by Amber at all.
Otherwise, she wouldn't think it was unreasonable for her to attend the commendation ceremony.
Nicole happened to come and ask Amelia to lunch. When she heard Amber mocking Amelia for taking Anderson Clark's spot at the commendation ceremony, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Every industry has its own rules. It seems that you need to improve your background a bit. Otherwise, you'll end up making a fool of yourself, thinking what you said makes sense," Nicole said.
Amelia did indeed take Anderson Clark's spot at the commendation ceremony, but Amber was unaware of this.
The commendation ceremony was just an opportunity provided by the city to allow Amelia to meet authoritative figures in the medical community of Kasfee and get a simple understanding of them.
Talent competition between cities had always been fierce, and the academic research Amelia had brought back from Fondaniss could help everyone in the city, while also bringing huge benefits to the city.
If this medical research could be carried out in Kasfee, it would have a very positive impact on Kasfee.
Kasfee didn't want to lose Amelia and the value she could create.
When the contract expires, Amelia could participate in more than just the commendation ceremony in the city.
So at this moment, Nicole looked at Amber as if she were looking at a fool.
Amber's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth inwardly.
She couldn't handle Amelia alone just now, and now with the articulate Nicole joining in, she naturally didn't want to stay here any longer.
If Amber continued to chat here, the only one who would get hurt was herself.
"I was a bit emotional just now. Ms. Davis, I hope you won't mind. Since Frederick's condition is beyond your control, I'll leave first. Sorry for bothering you." After saying that, Amber walked out of Amelia's office.
As she passed by Nicole, Nicole couldn't help but glance at her disdainfully and said to Amelia, "She has disturbed you several times. I don't see any trace of remorse in her. She's unfriendly to you."
Upon hearing Nicole's words, Amber paused for a moment but didn't stop completely. She gritted her teeth and continued to leave.
Amelia smiled faintly, looking at Nicole's annoyed expression, and said, "As my sister said, Amber is the joy of my life."
Nicole nodded in agreement. "Rachel is right."
"Without her, there would be much less to mock."
Amelia pursed her lips, glanced at the time, and said, "Anna and Vincent are on their way. I've booked a restaurant nearby, let's go eat later."
Nicole nodded.
When Amelia first returned to the country, Nicole was on a business trip, and then she was too busy, so she only knew Anna from her phone and hadn't personally met her yet.
Before leaving the hospital, Amelia went to Frederick's ward.
The IV bag was almost empty, and Amelia saw Frederick lying on the bed asleep.
If she hadn't remembered to come and check, Frederick's blood might have refluxed into the catheter by then.
She walked over and removed the needle. As soon as she touched his hand, Frederick suddenly opened his eyes.
Amelia bent down, her beautiful face right in front of him.
Frederick was stunned for a moment, his gaze lingering on Amelia for a long time before he looked away after Amelia finished.
Amelia removed the IV bag and said softly, "Didn't Paul bring you food at noon today?"
Because of Brittany's condition, Amelia didn't tell her about Frederick being hospitalized last night to prevent her from worrying about Frederick.
Frederick raised his hand to look at his watch when he heard her voice, his eyes dimmed.
"He's very busy with work today," he said.
Amelia raised an eyebrow. "I'll bring you something to eat later."
Frederick didn't respond to Amelia's words.
Amelia didn't need his response. She simply turned around and left his ward.
Outside the door, Nicole saw this and immediately took Amelia's arm as she walked out of Frederick's ward.
"If it were me, I might just ignore him," Nicole said.
Frederick treated Amelia so badly in the past, even forcing her to leave her hometown while pregnant.
Amelia knew that Nicole as her friend complained about Frederick on her behalf. She couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "After all, Frederick is my patient. If he starves to death in my hands, then I've committed a crime."
The voices of the two became increasingly distant, and Frederick's expression grew more gloomy.
He was just Amelia's patient.
Frederick felt his chest tighten, his breath caught in his throat, unable to go down.
