Alex hugged Amelia and thought of Mrs. Walton's heartbroken expectations at home. He immediately took out his cell phone and was about to make a call when he heard a beep. His cell phone had run out of battery and was switched off. He simply threw his cell phone to the front passenger seat. He did not care. If he could not make the call, so be it. As long as he went home!
Alex turned around and asked, "Are you sitting properly? Mia!"
Amelia's pink safety seat had been there the entire time she was away. Amelia sat on it and skillfully buckled her seatbelt. She said, "Sit tight!"
"Where's Sister-in-law?" Alex glanced at Ling.
Ling had been following Amelia. When Amelia had thrown herself into Alex's arms, she had stood to the side and watched quietly. Now that Alex had spoken, she raised a hand. "Sit tight!"
