Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 148

"We're in the suburbs now. We can't get you a van in such a short time. You can drive our police car so that you can escape smoothly all the way." Owen said as he took the car key from the pocket on his waist and threw it to Boss Peng.

Boss Peng wanted to run away as far as he could. He asked the gangster behind him to pick up the car key and then said to Owen, "When I get in the car, I will let her go."

"Okay." Owen and other policemen made way for Boss Peng and those gangsters.

Among those gangsters, Boss Peng was the only one who had a gun. He naturally brought up the rear and let other gangsters get on the car first.

"Cynthia, go with me." Boss Peng whispered in Cynthia's ear maliciously. He thought that it was all Cynthia's fault, so he wanted to take her away and found a place to rape her so as to relieve his hatred! Hearing Boss Peng's words, Cynthia understood what he wanted to do. She was so desperate that she did not even have the strength to cry. She could only be dragged away by Boss Peng feebly. When she passed by Patrick, she glanced at him with tears, as if she was saying goodbye to him...

Boss Peng's attention was focused on Owen. Then Patrick suddenly twisted Boss Peng's hand which was holding the gun, then hit Boss Peng's chest with his elbow with great strength!

Boss Peng was knocked back two steps, then the gun fell off his hand and Patrick took it away quickly!

It was just a blink of an eye from the moment Patrick raised his hands to the moment he took away the gun.

Patrick was angry. Thinking that Boss Peng dared kidnap Amelia, he immediately pointed the gun at Boss Peng coldly.

"Bang!"

The bullet shot through Boss Peng's left shoulder. Boss Peng felt so painful in his arm that he had to let go of Cynthia.

Without hesitation, Cynthia pushed Boss Peng away and ran to Patrick.

If it weren't for the fact that kidnapping someone wasn't enough to be sentenced to death, Patrick would have shot Boss Peng to death.

Owen immediately ordered the policemen to follow the police carthat had been driven away.

Just as everyone was off guard because Boss Peng was injured and Cynthia was saved, Boss Peng took out another gun from his pocket with his arm trembling and pressed the trigger... "Watch out, Patrick!" Owen shouted at Patrick anxiously as he shot Boss Peng to death mercilessly!

Just as the bullet was about to hit Patrick, Cynthia suddenly took a step forward and took the bullet for Patrick with her thin body!

The blood was red, but the world in Amelia's eyes was only gray and white, because she felt too shocked.

She watched as Cynthia fell to the ground with her limbs twitching slightly...

Then, Patrick picked up Cynthia who was bleeding and said in a deep and trembling voice, "You will be fine. Don't be afraid." In the Hopper Family.

Cynthia's operation lasted for an entire night. At dawn, the doctor informed them that Cynthia was out of danger for the time being.

Patrick asked with cold and serious eyes, "What do you mean by 'for the time being'?"

The doctor said hesitantly, "The bullet has been taken out successfully, but she might die at any time."

After hearing this, Cynthia's staggered as if he had suffered a great blow.

Amelia immediately reached out to support him, "Uncle, are you all right?"

Cynthia's father glanced at Amelia. Patrick had told him about Amelia's identity, so he said to Amelia respectfully, "I... only have one son and one daughter. I can't except my son to become a successful person, but Cynthia has always been sensible. If she dies, I... might as well die with her!"

Cynthia's father burst into tears when he said that.

Amelia comforted him, "Don't worry. Cynthia is a kind girl, and god will not be so cruel to her."

Patrick heard those desperate words of Cynthia's father and felt a little sad in his heart. He said to the doctor, "No matter what method you use, you must save Cynthia!"

The doctor felt much more pressure, "Don't worry! Well try our best!"

Then Patrick suddenly received a call from Eve, asking him and Amelia to go home immediately.

Hearing this, Amelia glanced at Cynthia's father and asked, "What about uncle?"

Cynthia's father took the initiative to say, "I will stay and wait for the result."

Patrick did not force Cynthia's father to go back to rest. He said in a hoarse voice, "Uncle, I'll be back soon."

Downstairs of the hospital.

Amelia followed Patrick and asked worriedly, "How about letting me drive?"

Patrick glanced at her gloomily and said, "I don't want to waste my time."

Amelia was stunned. Although she drove slowly, she was thinking for Patrick because he was in a bad mood at the moment. If he was in a daze while driving, they might have a car accident on the way. But on second thought, she felt better.

The guilt that Patrick was suffering was beyond her imagination. It was better for him to drive to vent his emotions.

In the Hopper Family.

After making sure that Patrick and Amelia were safe and sound, Howard and Eve relaxed in varying

degrees.

The only thing they were worried about was the condition of Cynthia, who was hospitalized because of the gunshot wound.

"She's not very well." Patrick said.

Howard sighed and said, "Man's fate is as uncertain as the weather. God blesses Cynthia."

Eve put her palms together and made a gesture of worshiping the Buddha, "The ancestors of the Hopper Family, thanks for your blessing, Patrick is safe and not hurt."

After muttering for a while, Eve turned to Patrick and said, "Patrick, I have already ordered servants to prepare the bath water with pomelo leaves for you. Sit in the bath and get rid of the bad luck." "Mom..." Patrick couldn't say a word of gratitude, "I'm not in the mood to take a bath."

Being refused by Patrick, Eve was a little unhappy because she felt that her authority was challenged, "I ask you to do that for your own good. You have to listen to me!" Patrick pursed his lips and ignored her.

Eve always said this as long as Patrick did something that dissatisfy her since he was a child.

However, whether she did it for his own good or not, Patrick wanted to make his own decision in life.

Amelia was worried that Patrick would lose his temper and hurt Eve's heart, so she smiled and tried to ease the situation, "Mom, don't worry, Patrick will take a bath with the pomelo water when he has time." Eve said angrily, "You are a jinx! Anyone who is with you comes to no good end! I asked Patrick to take a bath with pomelo water in order to prevent him from getting hurt because of you!" Amelia's face turned slightly stiff. She was a little unhappy and wanted to lose temper, but she held back her anger for the sake of Howard.

Howard glared at Eve, "Didn't you hear what Owen said? It was because of Cynthia that they were kidnapped. Amelia was innocent and was implicated. If she didn't call Owen cleverly, I'm afraid that it would have led to a miserable tragedy."
