Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 387

Meeting Amelia's yielding gaze, Florence froze and was softened for a short while. Then she looked away and said awkwardly, "I don't want to talk to you right now! Leave me alone!" Amelia sighed. "Well, let's just wait here quietly for news of Eve."

While she was speaking, some heavy footsteps came from the corridor. The three looked over and found Owen and his wife leading Howard and rushing over.

Howard looked haggard. Perhaps it was because he had not had a good rest since he left the Hopper's. His bloodshot eyes told everything.

"Howard..." Among all the people present, Amelia was the only one who greeted him. As for Patrick and Florence, both of them looked like they couldn't bring themselves to call him dad. Howard stopped in front

of expressionless Patrick, his younger son, grabbed Patrick's hand, and asked, "How is your mother!"

Patrick shook Howard's hand away coldly. "You care about her?"

Howard was infuriated. "Patrick! I know how much you hate me now, but I'm the one who has spent the longest time with your mom! Do you think I don't care about her?"

Patrick's chest rose and fell. He wanted to let out something sarcastic, but finally, he said, "We don't know. She's still in the emergency room."

Howard covered his chest in discomfort. He had been in rather good health these years. But now, his perfectly healthy heart suddenly throbbed violently. He knew clearly whom this was for!

Although he no longer loved Eve, she was still the one who had been with him for so many years. He was not cold enough to be indifferent.

Florence looked at him and said softly, "If you hadn't insisted on abandoning her, she wouldn't have taken the sleeping pills. If anything happens to her, I'm not your daughter anymore!" Howard felt as if he had been punched in the chest. Within a few days, he was deserted by his family!

"Stop dawdling! Hurry up! Mr. Patrick doesn't have time to waste on people like you!"

All of a sudden, they heard reproach from the corner of the corridor. Two tall men were rudely forcing the shoulders of two women toward them.

Amelia's face changed immediately. The two women pushed were Jocelyn and... Jessica!

"You... you two lunatics, can't you just talk? Stop touching me!" Being shoved back and forth, Jessica was so angry that she pushed the man in front of her!

But the man did not move at all. Instead, he gave her a sharper stare.

Suddenly, he raised his big hand in the air and was about to hit Jessica's face that was even smaller than his palm!

"Ah!"

Hearing the scream of Jessica, Amelia shouted without hesitation, "Stop!"

Being used to orders, the man froze the moment he heard the word.

When he realized that the voice was from a young lazy, the man looked confused. But when he saw Patrick, he automatically assumed the order Amelia made was what Patrick meant, so he lowered his hand obediently.

"Amelia?" Realizing that the slap didn't fall, Jessica let go of her hand from her head and slowly looked at Amelia. "You... Why are you here?"

Amelia didn't seem to know where to start.

While they were talking, Jocelyn had been pushed to

Patrick by another man.

Patrick wasn't interested in Jessica, the unimportant one. What he wanted to meet was the one who had charmed his father to the point of losing his mind!

Although Jocelyn was in a mess, she looked indifferent and calm.

"Jocelyn..." Howard called her first.

She met his eyes, her gaze soothing.

Patrick said significantly, "Since everyone is here, let's wait for the result."

Jocelyn looked at the handsome young man in front of her and asked in puzzlement, "Since you've asked me to come here, shouldn't you tell me what I don't know?" Patrick's eyes were icy. "My mother committed suicide because of you!"

Jocelyn's expression changed. She finally understood why Patrick had the men to bring her here. Eve's suicide would not be easily settled.

When no one was paying attention to her, Jessica moved closer to Amelia and asked in confusion, "Amelia, what are they talking about? Why can't I understand anything?"

Knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Amelia told the truth. "Jessica, it's no coincidence but a plan that your place robbed, your shop shut down, and no hotel was willing to do take you. And the person targeted you was Patrick!"

Jessica's breathing became labored. "Your husband targeted me? What did he do to me? When did I offend him?"

"The reason is on your mother..." Amelia lowered her voice and said, "My mother-in-law suspected that your mother had an affair with my father-in-law, so she decided to revenge herself with the help of Patrick. But in doing so, she got the opposite results she had expected and drove my father-in-law away. Last night, my mother-in-law took a bottle of sleeping pills in her room. Now she is in the operating room, and none of us know how her condition is now. Jessica, I hate to say this, but if my mother-in-law couldn't wake up, I will make sure that you and Sierra leave Northville as soon as possible. Only by doing so can you be safe!"

Jessica was horrified at first, and then she gritted her teeth and asked, "In other words, my mother screwed your father-in-law, didn't she?"

Amelia said earnestly, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Eve likes to exaggerate and get sympathy by playing the victim. But now, it seems that no one cares what the truth is. The most important thing is for her to be safe, otherwise..."

Jessica continued, "Otherwise, with your petty

husband and his mighty influences, my mother is sure to pay the painful price! And this may involve my grandfather, me, and Sierra?"

Amelia nodded solemnly.

"Then why didn't you tell me until now?" Jessica suddenly changed the subject, catching Amelia off guard.

Seeing the complaint in Jessica's eyes, Amelia shivered and felt a chill down her spine. She forced a smile and said, "Jessica, did you misunderstand something?"

Jessica's face darkened. "You knew that I don't like my mother at all, yet you didn't tell me what disgusting things she had done as soon as possible. Otherwise, I could have reached your husband and told him that I have nothing to do with her!"

"I..." Amelia didn't know how to explain it. She had indeed told Patrick that Jessica hated her mother, but Patrick wouldn't listen to Amelia.

The more Jessica said, the more indignant she became. "When I asked how did you know where my grandpa's place was, you should have told me everything you knew. But what have you done? You chose to pretend that everything was fine! You left me in the illusion of peace, where I had no idea that I'll be in trouble!"
