Eden’s help.
He knew how serious Minnie’s condition was since Aimee had discussed it privately with him before wanting to help out too. But Minnie didn’t want anyone near her at the moment, which made it difficult for them all.
“I have thought about that,” replied Eden.”But you know what kind of person she is; she’ll figure out if
I’m faking it or not immediately.”
The key was Minnie didn’t want anyone near her right now.
Mariam could get close to Minnie while others couldn’t as she trusted Mariam more than anyone else at this point in time, which made things harder for everyone else involved including Eden who felt helpless in this situation
“In the end,” Patrick said, “it’s all because of her weight issues; we need to find a way for her lose weight.”
Eden heard what Patrick had just said but felt frustrated knowing where the real problem lay yet having no solution whatsoever. Everyone knew that if Minnie can lose weight and return to what she considered her perfect appearance, she will feel psychologically comfortable. Once she felt psychologically comfortable, everything else will fall into place.
However, the problem lay here.
Minnie’s diet was tailored to her physical condition. In theory, even someone with obesity would see results from this type of diet. However, Minnie had been on it for over twenty days and there had been no effect.
Eden said, “I really don’t know what else to do now. I wish I could grow fat instead of her.”
Just then, Aimee came down from upstairs.
It wasn’t the first time Eden had looked at Aimee but it was the first time he had seriously examined her figure.
Thin waist and long legs – flawless perfection.
Aimee knew what Eden was thinking so she didn’t take offense. She walked over and handed a small box to Eden saying, “Minnie is almost done with postpartum recovery. Give this to her after that.”
Eden took the small box and opened it up; inside were about ten blue pills similar in appearance to blueberry candy. He looked at Aimee puzzled as he wondered what they were for.
Aimee explained, “They help regulate Minnie’s emotions and body constitution; we’ve had them before but they weren’t suitable for breastfeeding mothers until now when we improved them.”
It took a while for Eden to understand that these pills were probably meant for weight loss purposes which made him worry as he asked, “Is this some kind of weight loss pill?”
If losing weight required medication, then Eden would rather have Minnie stay overweight than risk harming herself by taking such pills.
Aimee replied, “You can think of it like that but these won’t directly cause significant weight loss; instead they’ll help stabilize her mood since right now it’s not just about being unable lose weight but also because anxiety is preventing her from focusing on managing bodyweight.”
As Eden listened further, his mind suddenly thought of another possibility which made him look at
Aimee intently before asking hesitantly, “Aimee…is this an antidepressant?”
Had things gotten so serious? If only he knew earlier, then he would have preferred not having children rather than let Minnie suffer like this.
Aimee said, “Don’t scare yourself. Don’t think too much. It’s not that serious. Just treat it as a supplement. I’ve improved it and it will enhance Bran’s physique when Minnie breastfeeds.”
Eden stopped worrying after hearing this.
He looked at Aimee and said solemnly, “Aimee, thank you so much.”
Aimee smiled and said, “It’s okay. Don’t make it such a big deal. Your emotions are affected by this too.
Even if you don’t show it in front of Minnie, she will sense it sensitively. Don’t make both of you sick in the end.”
Eden nodded and asked, “Can I give her the pill now?”
“It’s fine,” Aimee replied.
Eden immediately stood up from the sofa and said, “Then I’ll go back now.” And he left quickly.
Patrick reached out to touch Aimee’s head and said, “You worked hard.”
Since noticing that Minnie’s condition had worsened significantly, Aimee had been developing this pill for days now; if Eden hadn’t come today, she would have called him over anyway.
“It wasn’t that hard,” Aimee replied.
She looked at Patrick and continued saying, “My body seems to have returned to normal. I hardly need sleep anymore.”
After all these days of staying awake constantly working on the pill’s formula, she didn’t feel tired at all!
Patrick suggested, “Do you want to go out for some fresh air?”
Aimee turned her head towards Patrick with suspicion regarding his invitation asking. “What are your intentions?”
Patrick chuckled but didn’t hide anything from her, saying, “The hospital is almost done being set up.
Do you want to take a look?”
As soon as Aimee heard what he was suggesting, her eyes lit up with excitement! The last time they went there was when she was pregnant; afterwards she made a list which Patrick arranged people according to complete tasks, but then so many things happened afterwards that Aimee couldn’t even spare any attention towards those matters anymore.
Now hearing what Patrick just suggested made Aimee restless with anticipation!
“Of course we should go!” exclaimed Aimee excitedly as they headed straight out the door towards the hospital.
On their way there, Patrick mentioned, “We hired some people before. Do you see anything else we need help with?”
Immediately upon hearing him say this, Aimee thought about a list in her mind, replying confidently, “I actually do have something like that but those are difficult people to get hold of. I’ll try contacting them myself later.”
Some of the doctors she hoped to invite were big names in the industry, and they were not for fame and money, but for curing diseases and saving lives.
Such doctors really can’t be hired just by conditions.
Patrick and Aimee arrived at the hospital which now looked like a standard hospital except for the lack of patients and incomplete medical staff. Everything else resembled a high-end hospital, especially since all the equipment had been arranged according to Aimee’s requests. Upon seeing these devices,
Aimee couldn’t wait to return to her position.
Patrick led Aimee around for a while before finally taking her to her office. As soon as they walked in,
Aimee almost burst out laughing.
“If someone didn’t know any better,” she said, “they would think I was a CEO instead of a doctor.”
“You are both,” Patrick replied.
Aimee shook her head and said, “I don’t have that title.”
Patrick laughed and reached up to pat Aimee’s head. “If you want it,” he said jokingly, “I’ll give it to you.”
Aimee rolled her eyes and pulled away from Patrick’s hand. “Do you think I can’t understand what you’re saying?” she asked him accusingly. “Are you trying to trick me?”
Patrick laughed even harder and leaned down to kiss Aimee on the lips once before saying, “Just kidding.”
Aimee sighed in exasperation; she didn’t want anything more from Patrick right now.
He was being too much by focusing everything on her when they could be focusing on Ridge,
Rosemary or Perla instead – maybe even Walter or Miles if they had children soon enough – so that one day one of them might take over their family business with passion.
Suddenly feeling nostalgic about how quickly time passed them by, Aimee stepped forward towards
Patrick as she hugged his waist tightly while saying, “Time flies so fast.”
“I will always be with you,” promised Patrick as he held onto Aimee’s waist firmly.
Looking up at him with tears forming in her eyes, Aimee replied, “And I will always be with you.”
As their lips met again this moment, Aimee realized that she never thought there would come someone who could love her unconditionally but here they were proving themselves every day just by being together forever no matter what happened next in life.
After the kiss was over, Patrick hugged Aimee tightly.
Neither of them spoke, they just hugged each other.
There was no need to say anything more, just holding each other like this was enough.
Suddenly thinking of something, Aimee said, “Let’s go on a date.”
They didn’t have a good date before, and now that they had babies, they had no chance to date.
At this moment, Aimee suddenly had the idea of wanting to make it up.
Patrick naturally had no objection.
The two came out of the hospital, and Patrick asked, “Where do you want to go?”
Aimee thought for a while and said, “Go to the movies. Let’s do something simple first.”
The two of them rarely even went to the cinema together. When they usually needed to watch a movie, they watched it directly in the movie room at home. Now that they thought about it, neither of them had watched a few movies together.
Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, Patrick and Aimee didn’t have many good seat options when they arrived at the movie theater.
They chose the closest showing and bought popcorn and soda. Normally, they wouldn’t have bothered with these things, but holding them in their hands gave them a slight feeling of being on a young date.
By the time they finished buying popcorn and drinks, it was time to enter the theater. Their seats were in the front row, not exactly ideal for watching a movie.
Their necks were stiff from looking up at the screen for so long by the time they left the theater. Aimee rubbed her neck and said to Patrick, “I’m starting to think I’m really getting old. Why is my neck so stiff?”
Patrick reached up and pinched Aimee’s neck before chuckling softly. “Next time I’ll book tickets earlier and find us more comfortable seats.”
Aimee replied, “I haven’t heard of any good movies lately.”
“Then we’ll do something else,” Patrick suggested.
Aimee giggled suddenly as she realized that Patrick was clearly more interested in dating than she was.
Holding onto Patrick’s hand, Aimee said jokingly, “Am I not doing my job as your girlfriend properly?”
The sweet moments between boyfriend and girlfriend seemed nonexistent between them two.
Patrick replied, “Then am I even worse?”
Aimee couldn’t help but laugh again while looking into his eyes intently before saying, “You make me feel like we should start having an evaluation meeting.”
Both took responsibility for their actions while still making light of it all.
