Chapter 130 Carter Is Awake

Oscar turned the steering wheel in the hospital’s direction. “I’m letting you visit him, but no flirting. If he makes a move on you, I have my ways of making him stop once and for all.”

Amelia rolled her eyes. “There won’t be a need to. Like I said, we’re just friends. If anything was possible between us, it would’ve happened ages ago.”

“So what if you have known him for a long time? You’re my wife now.”

“Mr. Clinton, do I smell jealousy?”

Oscar did not respond. He had turned his attention back on the road.

Although she found joy in teasing him, Amelia knew not to take it any further. She stopped talking and slept through the rest of the ride.

Very soon, they arrived back at the hospital. Amelia unbuckled her seat belt before suggesting, “Mr. Clinton, it’s pretty late now. Why not you go grab lunch first? I’ll meet you back later.”

There was no response. The next moment, he got out of the car purposefully.

She was slightly taken aback by his behavior, but exited the car as well.

Outside, Oscar had both his hands in his pocket. “Let’s go.”

“Mr. Clinton, perhaps if you’re hungry you could…”

“Hurry up. Mr. Scott is someone I respect. Now that his grandson is awake, it’s only basic courtesy to pay him a visit.”

That makes sense. Amelia trailed behind him at a distance.

Oscar turned and grabbed her by the waist. “Walk with me.”
