Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 455

Patrick had already developed feelings for Rick who was constantly acting cute, but he did not show his feelings completely like Amelia. Since Patrick had put the phone on speaker mode, Amelia could not help frowning when she heard the first half of Fabian's words... Fortunately, Fabian did not bring any bad news.

Amelia was excited by knowing that Rick's appetite had recovered. She could not help but interrupt, "Dr. Lawson, thank you for taking care of Rick. I'll thank you in person next time." Fabian was stunned for a few seconds before he recognized that it was Amelia's voice. He said modestly, "Miss Ramsay, you don't have to do that. This is my responsibility as a doctor."

The next second, he heard Patrick saying crisply, "Dr. Lawson, if there's nothing else I will not bother you any longer. Goodbye."

After the call ended, Amelia glanced at Patrick, "Mr. Hopper, according to Dr. Lawson's tone, did he stay at the pet clinic all night?"

Patrick nodded. "Probably."

Amelia opened the map in her hand. After a while, she looked up at Patrick, "We will pass by his pet clinic on our way to Mount Logan. We can pay Rick a visit by then. I was worried that Dr. Lawson's pet clinic wasn't open early in the morning."

So, he was just a "driver" running around with her, was not he?

At the hospital.

After parking the car into the underground garage, Patrick said to Amelia, "You may go up first."

Amelia unbuckled her seatbelt and gave him Patrick a glance, "What about you?"

"I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes," Patrick answered honestly.

Amelia was a little angry when she heard what he said. "Can you stop smoking all day long?"

"Did I smoke all day long? Bringing cigarettes around is an etiquette. You have to understand how men interact with each other." Patrick said lightly.

Amelia thought for a moment and noticed that he would only smoke when he was upset. She then said reluctantly, "Well then, I'll go up first. Dad's ward is on the 17th floor. Don't go to the wrong floor." "Got it." Patrick replied.

After watching Amelia disappearing behind the elevator doors, Patrick was about to open the door but the phone in his pocket rang again, pulling him back into his sitting position.

He took out his phone and spoke in a magnetic voice in the quiet car, "Hello?"

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Hopper!"

Hearing the familiar greeting from the other side of the phone, Patrick smiled, "Miss secretary, Merry Christmas."

"Mr. Hopper, although everyone needs to rest during Christmas, I thought I would want to share my ideas with you. Since the company had released the recruitment of teachers in Timothy Village, many people have shown great interest in the salary offered."

"Yesterday morning, several hundred emails appeared in my account. I'm wondering if I can borrow the company's venue to interview them and test them these two days. Of course, I hope that you would agree to it."

Patrick could not help but ask, "Don't you think you're working too hard?"

The secretary quickly expressed her stand. "It's my duty to share your burden. Not to mention that our construction activities in Timothy Village are set on the fifth day after Christmas. If we don't take care of smaller things now, it's inevitable that well miss out on many things by then."

After a pause, she said in a half-joking tone, "If you feeling bad about it, I don't mind you giving me a raise."

"Why not?" Patrick answered with a smile.

"Wait? What! Did you agree?" The secretary was shocked.

"Let's talk about it after the holidays. What else can I do for you?"

"Not for the time being. I'll call you when I've selected the right person. Bye, Mr. Hopper."

"Okay." Patrick replied and put the phone back in his pocket.

At the same time-

Amelia saw Alice was talking to her father through the window of the ward.

She reached her hand out and was about to open the doorknob when Amelia's wrist was suddenly grabbed by a big palm from her side. In the blink of an eye, she had been pushed into an empty ward! After pulling herself together, Amelia looked at the man who had launched a surprise attack on her and asked expressionlessly, "Daniel? What are you doing?"

Daniel was wearing a white suit, which made his face slightly pale. Amelia felt strange as it was a wedding day for him but why did Daniel look like he had been seriously injured and lost too much blood? The person who he had been thinking of for a few days is now standing in front of him. Daniel could no longer control his anger and pushed Amelia back to the corner of the wall. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Was it you who proposed Brittany to get married to me as soon as possible? Was it?!"

Seeing that his eyes were full of pain and hatred, Amelia pulled her lips and said, "Isn't this what you have been dreaming of? I've just helped you from behind. Even if you want to thank me, you don't have to be so excited, don't you?"

While grabbing her slender shoulders, Daniel roared like a trapped beast, "I will marry Brittany sooner or later, but the person who facilitated this situation shouldn't be you, nor it can be you. Because the meaning of this would then be completely different for me. Do you understand me?"

Amelia frowned, "Daniel, these words of yours are interesting. If I didn't know, I would have thought that you and I weren't cut off from each other and couldn't bear to be apart from me."

A dark current gathered in Daniel's eyes. After a while, he slowly said, "What if I say... that's true."

Amelia looked up at him stunned, she then burst into laughter. Her body trembled as she laughed. Upon hearing her laughter, Daniel's face turned livid.

After a long while, Amelia stopped laughing. Her expression gradually became as cold as before or perhaps colder than before. "Even if that's the case, what does it have to do with me? From the moment you slept with Brittany, you've chosen to betray me. Those who abandon me can't stay. Since I can't hold on to you, I might as well let you go."

Daniel's handsome face whiten. "You are so ruthless. Did you really forget all the time we spent together during our college days?"

Amelia replied, "Don't say that as if I am the heartbreaker. The kindness I received from you cannot overcome the evil you did. I can't wait to forget it as soon as possible. How would I have the desire to remember all the time we spent together?"

Daniel did not want to hear these hurtful words anymore. An impulse flashed across his eyes, and he held onto her chin, he tried to sully her!

Her pupils contracted violently because of the tension. Just as Amelia was trying to call for help, there was a loud bang and the ward door was kicked open by someone from the outside!

Amelia and Daniel, who were almost entangled together were shocked by the loud noise. Before Daniel could turn around to see who the intruder was, he was slammed into the wall by Patrick's punch!
