Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 235

The killing was payback, Brittany had a long future ahead of her and didn't want to die yet!

Hidden deep inside Brittany's thoughts weren't really fears for George's life, they were fears for her own.

Brittany gripped Daniel's arm in a panic, "Why do you think Dad is suddenly foaming at the mouth?"

Daniel looked back at her and said worriedly, "I don't know. Let's just wait and see what the doctor says."

"Dad just looked terrifying, I'm worried he'll... die..." the last word Brittany said especially softly, as she didn't want that possibility to arise.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Alice suddenly look at her extremely stern, "Brittany! What are you talking about?"

Brittany was so surprised that she cried even harder, and she could already imagine Alice's reaction when she learned the truth!

Alice took a few breaths and sadly asked them, "You guys tell me what happened in the house while I was gone."

Brittany was trembling and fidgeting with her words.

Suddenly, the red light for "in surgery" dimmed and the operating room was pushed open.

Alice immediately stood up to greet the attending surgeon who emerged from the operating room.

The attending surgeon took off his mask and spoke heavily amidst the varying micro-expressions of the three "Mr. Ramsay has been tentatively diagnosed with a stroke..."

"Stroke?" All three of them looked ridiculous, and Brittany got even more intense, pointing at the doctor's nose and yelling, "You're lying! My dad has a coronary. How could it be a stroke! It must be your wrong diagnosis!"

Before Brittany could lose her demeanor, Alice stopped her in a rare moment of anger, "Let doctor finish!"

Brittany stared hard at the doctor as if he was the one responsible for her dad's stroke.

The doctor said under tremendous pressure, "Emotional outbursts, depression, overwork, and blood stasis are all possible triggers for Mr. Ramsay's stroke, plus he's old and must not be as strong as before. I'm afraid..."

"You're afraid of what?" Alice looked at him in horror.

"I'm afraid that even if he is rescued, he will be unable to speak, walk upright, or even hold a pen or chopstick in the future." The doctor announced with regret.

Brittany was completely freaked out at this point, and Alice was in such a bad state. Daniel asked, "Is he going to be in danger?"

"There is no danger of getting sick for the time being." The doctor euphemistically said, "It's just that the older the patient is, the worse the recovery will be, depending on how long the patient's family's finances can support the patient's treatment..."

The attending doctor's words were a lifesaver for

Alice, "Money won't be a problem for us, as long as it keeps him alive!"

After the attending physician left, Alice wearily asked Brittany, "I asked you to call your sister, did you do it?"

"I... I forgot!" When George was brought to the hospital for resuscitation, Brittany was so anxious that she didn't remember calling to Amelia.

Alice said suspiciously, "Why are you being so careless today? I just asked you what happened in the house while I was gone, and you're going to tell me now!"

"Daddy... him..." Brittany stammered so hard she couldn't get the words out.

As Brittany hesitated, Daniel's warm voice stepped in, "Let me tell you something. Dad woke up this afternoon. He was probably not very energetic, and accidentally knocked over a vase in the hallway. That vase was a relic of Amelia's mother, therefore, dad was so sad that he went to his room to rest, and didn't even have dinner..."

Alice restrained her trembling voice and asked Brittany, "Is that true?"

Brittany was so nervous that she didn't know what to say, when Daniel gently touched the back of her hand and she carelessly went along with Daniel's previous words, "Well, I was resting in my room and when I heard the noise, I immediately ran out to see what was going on outside and... ended up seeing my dad..."

Before the words were finished, Brittany was already sobbing very hard because she was grieving her guilt.

Alice just had doubts about Daniel, but Brittany was her daughter, what she said Alice would not disbelieve. Then Alice said with sadness, "Forget it. It seems that is your father's fate. I do not ask for anything now, and only want him to stay alive. He has loved me for the first half of his life, then let me serve him for the rest of his life..."

"Mom... "Brittany repented and was about to tell the truth but was repeatedly stopped by Daniel's eyes.

Alice touched her crying face and instructed, "Go ahead and call your sister... and watch your tone. She must be feeling as bad as we are about this accident that happened to your dad."

Brittany bit her lip and nodded in agreement.

Daniel motioned her to the corner and seeing her blank eyes. He pressed her shoulder and rubbed it up and down twice to lift her spirits, "Brittany, it wasn't your fault. It was your Dad himself who knocked the vase over that caused the accident. Do you hear me?"

Brittany was still regretting it, "But if I hadn't threatened him with the vase, this wouldn't have happened..."

Daniel interrupted firmly, "No buts, it was an accident! I don't think you want to take the blame from everyone, do you?"

"No, I don't!" Brittany grabbed Daniel's arm and asked, "But in the future, if Daddy can talk and write, won't everything we've said today be a lie?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Daniel said comfortingly, "You're worrying too much. If one day your father recovers, everyone will be happy and won't blame us for what we said." "You're right!" Brittany was inspired and got a little hope. Since Alice was overly grief-stricken, Alice would surely piss her off if she told the truth. Brittany might as well keep it to herself until George sobered up, and then she would come clean.

Daniel looked at Brittany and began to plan in his heart. He decided to help Brittany to hide the truth from Alice and others, so Brittany would be grateful to him. But if Alice and others found out the truth, he would disclose Brittany and let her take all the fault.

At the same time, Amelia drove out of Land of Fragrance with Milton, "Milton, you'll have a check at the emergency room when we get to the hospital."
