Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 241

"Mrs. Hopper... "Seeing that Amelia would not look at him, Patrick could only go to her bedside and call her gently.

The scene of her fainting was so scary that he didn't want to repeat it again.

"I'm very tired. You let me sleep for a while." Amelia told him perfunctorily.

"Don't go to sleep yet, give me some time to clarify the truth." There was obviously a chair nearby, but Patrick crouched right down to the floor so he could be flush with her in the bed.

Amelia saw Patrick's humble gesture and she shifted her indifference slightly, "Go ahead."

"Look at this," Patrick handed Amelia the examination report in his hand, "It's Cherry's physical. She's still a virgin and I didn't even touch her last night."

Amelia froze and didn't take the report. She just stared at the anxious- looking man in front of her nervously.

"What's wrong? So you still don't believe me?" Patrick mistakenly thought that Amelia wouldn't even read the examination report, and he stubbornly says, "If you don't read it, I'll read it to you word for word!"

Amelia raised her hand to slap away the examination report, blinked her teary eyes, and cried and laughed at Patrick, "You silly man!"

Patrick didn't get angry at being scolded like that, just naturally opened his arms around Amelia who came to him, kissed her forehead and said softly, "You are a silly woman as well."

Amelia's frustration, anger, fear and grievance these days were now released in Patrick's arms as she gripped his suit jacket tightly in her delicate hands and wailed.

Patrick spoke with both pity and confusion, "I've proven my innocence, why are you still crying so much? Okay, don't cry, I'm afraid you'll break your body with crying so hard."

There was a time when Patrick felt that Amelia was an impenetrable wall and that no matter how much pressure he put on it or how much he destroyed it, she would always stand.

But as the walls crumbled, revealing her fragile form, and instead of being accomplished at all, Patrick felt a vague sense of panic.

Amelia childishly rubbed her tears in Patrick's arms and cried, partly because he had proved his innocence to her in a tangible way, but more because George's current situation made her feel so helpless for the first time.

After a moment's pause, she lifted her head up to him and said, "My dad's in the hospital."

"What's going on?" Patrick frowned.

Amelia told him the whole story.

Patrick began to realize the seriousness of the problem and finally understood why she was so vulnerable today, and he felt guilty that instead of being there for her when she was at her worst, he'd not only failed to be there for her, but he'd misbehaved by drinking at the Royal Joy Club!

Patrick felt sorry for himself and said, "Take a rest and I'll go and get you some porridge.

Amelia was over-starved, but she didn't feel hungry, and she desperately wanted to get back to George at this point, "Patrick, I want to..."

"I know what you want to do." Patrick interrupted her, gazing sadly into her tired eyes, "But you have to think about your own health too. If you get sick, you'll have even less energy to take care of your dad, so listen to me, okay?"

With that, he leaned in close to her face and landed a warm kiss on her tightly pursed lips, tasting her previously shed tears, which was astringent with bitterness, but he was syrupy.

Amelia ate her lunch, drank another glass of milk under Patrick's care, and eased back into bed to sleep.

Until she was asleep and Patrick stopped staring at her, he took the time to go outside and answer a phone call.

Patrick's handsome face suddenly turned cold as he looked at the caller displayed on the screen, it was Charles, and even if Charles didn't call him, he was going to teach Charles a lesson sooner or later.

Patrick pressed the answer button with indifference, and Charles said teasingly, "Hey man, are you up yet? Did you sleep well last night?"

Afraid of waking Amelia, Patrick swallowed his anger and headed down the cleared hallway saying, "Did you set me up with Cherry?"

Charles confessed, "Yeah, you looked like you were in pain with lust last night, so I arranged for a woman to nourish you. She was still a virgin and you took advantage of her."

By the sound of it, Charles was pretty proud of what he'd done last night, but Patrick's anger had flared and he emphasized Charles' name by saying, "Charles Sullivan, you set me up with a woman once at the reunion and again last night, what the hell do you want?"

Sensing a change in Patrick's mood over the phone, Charles pretended to relax and reassured him, "I didn't want to do anything, just... for fun. Why are you so angry? I thought you said you didn't have feelings for Amelia?"

Avoiding an answer to Charles' confusion, Patrick grumpily said, "I'm warning you, if it happens again, we're out of being friends!"

Straight after hanging up the phone, Patrick leaned against the hallway railing for a moment to calm his nerves, this would have been nothing more than fun between friends if it had happened before his wedding, but he was married now and it would be a bit much for Charles to use as entertainment in this way.

As twilight fell, a man was seen in the ward at the other hospital where George was staying.

Daniel stared at George wearing an oxygen mask. As soon as he reached to remove the respirator, George who was so weak would surely die from lack of oxygen to the brain in less than two minutes.

He put his hand on the oxygen mask and said wickedly, "George, it's time you made amends for the mistakes you made back then."

But a few seconds later, Daniel moved his hand away with great perseverance. Wasn't it too merciful for George to let him die like this?

It would be better if he let George continue to live. By then, the entire Apex Construction Corporation, including his two precious daughters, would be played by him. It was estimated that George who had been paralyzed now would have a lot of pain.

At that moment, the nurse who had come to check the room called back to Daniel. "Hello, Mr. Phillips."

"Hello." When Daniel turned around, there was another gentle smile on his face. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

The nurse suddenly blushed and said, "I came over to measure the body temperature of the patient."

Noticing that the nurse's smile was a little like the charm of Amelia, Daniel pleased and said kindly, "Thank you for your hard work."

At that moment, Brittany, who had already appeared at the door, saw the scene of Daniel and the nurse talking in an amorous way. She was so angry that she rushed in and tore the nurse's hair. She shouted fiercely, 'TH kill you, you little slut! How dare you seduce my fiance!"
