Chapter 1614

"Milton! Are you asleep?" Amelia's calling by the door continued.

Milton did not know how long he had been sitting on the ground, but he suddenly wiped his face with his hand and stood up unsteadily. He then sprawled to beside the sink and turned on the faucet to wash his face hard.

After that, he took off the towel hanging on the side and wiped his face. Finally, Milton walked to the door with light footsteps.

Outside the room.

Amelia dropped her hand that was knocking on the door. She said to Patrick, who was standing next to her, "He seems to be asleep. Should we come tomorrow?"

As soon as her voice fell, there was a click from the door. Amelia looked back and saw a hand between the door crack. It was dark in the room, so she could only use thr light from the corridor to look for Milton's face.

"Milton?"

"Amelia... What are you doing here?"

Amelia was startled for his voice was so hoarse that she could not hear him clearly. It was evident how hammered he was.

"Aunt Sierra said you're in a foul mood, so I came to see you. Um... Is it convenient for you to step out?"

Milton's coarse voice came through the narrow gap of the door. "It's not, actually. I'll terrify my mom. Can... Can you come in instead?"

Amelia glanced at Patrick.

Patrick was clear- minded, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll come in," Amelia responded, then she gently pushed the door and stepped in.

After Amelia entered the room, the door remained half-closed, which meant Patrick could check in on her at any time. He quietly took out a cigarette and a lighter, then leant against the corridor and smoked.

If Milton was in this state because of Maryanne, Amy would blame Patrick. On the other side.

Amelia caught the strong whiff of alcohol the second she stepped into the room.

She scowled and flicked on the switch on the side without hesitation.

The lights above her head immediately lit up, illuminating Milton's decadent and listless face.

Only half a day had passed, and he had become this way.

Amelia shook her head and went forward to grab the towel in his hand. She went into the bathroom and rubbed it clean with cold water. After that, she handed the wet towel back to him. "Wipe your face and sober up."

Milton took the towel with drooping eyebrows. Unfortunately, though the towel could wipe off the smell of alcohol from his body, it could not wipe away his
