FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 242: Winning Amelia’s Heart

"Oh my goodness! Of course, you are not. You are a fully grown woman." Dr Venessa scanned Amelia from head to toe, tears pulling in her eyes as she recalled the loss of a dear friend.

"Yes, I'm." Amelia chuckled amid tears.

"I know this is unprofessional." Dr Vanessa's eyes shifted to Blaze as if seeking his approval. "But, can I hug you?"

Blaze give her a curt nod without saying anything.

"Certainly." Amelia nodded as she took two steps closer.

Both women embraced each other warmly leaving Blaze slightly lost.

"I'm so sorry about your mother. I couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that she left us so early."

"It's okay. That is in the past now." Amelia pulled away, wiping her tears with the back of her hand while ushering the doctor back to her seat.

Blaze stood still for a moment, marvelling at his stroke of luck. He had no idea Amelia would know the doctor when he was busy doing his research earlier. This simply meant a big win for him, at winning his wife's heart back.

"So, what brought you here?" Amelia asked after they were both done exchanging pleasantries and catching up on old times.

"Oh...your husband invited me over. He was just telling me about your pregnancy so far and some of the challenges you have encountered. He wants me to take charge and ensure you have a blissful pregnancy journey. I hope you wouldn't mind me being your doctor from henceforth."

"Are you kidding me? Of course not. I wouldn't have asked for a better choice." Amelia replied beaming, sparing Blaze a brief appreciative glance.

Blaze's heart skipped a bit at the insignificant but captivating stare. It rendered him speechless for a few seconds, making him feel like a bird gliding in the wind.

He just sat there watching the exchange between the doctor and Amelia without interfering while giving himself a pat on the back for a job well done.

"This is excellent, news." Dr Vanessa clasped her hands excitedly. "That means I'll be seeing you at my private clinic, tomorrow to have you registered for your antenatal care."

"Okay! I can't wait." Amelia's shimmering eyes glimmered like a child who just received her favourite ice cream.

"Let me not keep you waiting." Dr Vanessa stood up. "Your husband said you both need to be somewhere this morning."

"Oh yes. Thank you for coming Dr Vanessa. It was such a pleasure having you in our home." Amelia stood up and embraced her again.

"The pleasure is all mine."

"Thanks for honouring my invitation, doctor Venessa. Do have an amazing day."

"You too, Mr Anderson. Please take care of your wife for me and have an amazing day."

"I will."

Amelia walked Doctor Vanessa to the door before shutting it behind her. She turned to face her husband who had already left his desk to join her, her eyes brimming with accusation.

"First you cook me breakfast, and then you give me a rose with a captivating note. And now this. Are you trying to bribe me, dear husband? Because this isn't part of what we agreed."

"No, I'm not trying to bribe you," Blaze said in a smooth silky voice that was dripping with so much affection. "I'm just trying to do what is right for my pregnant wife."

"By researching about my past and bringing a doctor friend home to persuade me." Amelia raised her brows accusingly at him, heat curling up her spine at the closeness between them.

"Your past. Why would I want to dig into your past? Shouldn't I be interested in your present and future?" Blaze replied to her question with a question, the side of his lips curled up in a smirk.

"Then how did you know that Dr Vanessa was my late mom's gynecologist," Amelia asked eyeing him.

"To be honest, I didn't know. I was just looking for the best gynecologist to attend to my pregnant wife. I made some calls, did my research and everything pointed me to her." Blaze explained while drinking in his wife's glowing morning beauty, wishing he could lean forward and kiss her.

"Anyway, thanks. It was really thoughtful of you." Amelia patted him lightly on the chest and quickly retrieved her hand as if she had touched hot coal.

"You're welcome."

"We should get going. Let's not keep Aunt Vera and Eugene waiting." Amelia quickly turned away, to hide her flushed face.

Umm...babe, wait." Blaze held her on the wrist. But withdrew his hand when she titled her head backwards, eyeing his firm grip.

"I'm sorry. I was going to tell you that I called Vera earlier informing her that we would be coming a bit late."

"Late! Why?" Amelia raised her brow while unconsciously stroking where Blaze had earlier held onto her.

"I was thinking we should visit your dad first."

The smile on Amelia's face slowly faded.

"I... I don't think that's a good idea. I don't know if my father wants to see you." She turned her face sideways to hide the lingering hurt in her eyes.

"I spoke to him earlier and he said I could come."

"You spoke to him?" Amelia's eyes shut up.

"Yes."

"And he said you could come."

Blaze nodded his head.

Amelia's heart started pounding.

"What do you want with him?" She asked protectively, uncomfortable with the idea.

"I already apologized to him over the phone for what I did. But I wanted to do it face-to-face. I want to make things right but I can't do that without your permission."

"I don't know." Amelia sighed, massaging her forehead. "Give me a minute while I speak to him over the phone." She excused herself and left the office.

A few minutes later, she called Blaze over the phone and said she was ready to go.

The ride down to the hospital was uneventful as Amelia mostly kept to herself, except for a few occasional remarks.

When they arrived at the senator's hospital room, they found him in a very jovial mood chatting away freely with a young nurse.

They all exchanged warm greetings before the nurse excused them after ensuring her patient her taken all his oral medication.

Amelia and her father spoke for a while while Blaze sat quietly observing the father and daughter, taking note of Amelia's occasional glance in his direction.

"Alright, Blaze comes closer. I want you to sit here..." The senator gestured, pointing at an empty seat by his bedside.
