Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 69

Alice was sorrowful and regretful, "Yes, it's my fault. Recently, there has been a lot of business banquet for your daddy to attend, and he has drunk a lot. Amelia, calm down first. Let's talk after your father's operation, okay?"

Amelia took a deep breath and sat down on the opposite side, saying, "If anything bad happens to him, you won't live a good life in the future."

"That's enough, Amelia, you should be reasonable." Daniel said as if he couldn't stand it anymore, "There is no one more capable than dad and many projects were negotiated by him in person at the banquet. Dad's heart attack this time has nothing to do with Mom. It's just an accident!"

Staring at Daniel mockingly, Amelia said, "You aren't married to Brittany yet. How dare you call him dad? Aren't you disgusting?"

Daniel retorted sarcastically, "If you work at Apex right after graduating and learned with dad, he wouldn't have been exhausted and admitted into the hospital."

Amelia thought it was ridiculous as it wasn't her fault at all.

Witnessing the argument between Daniel and Amelia and recalling their ex relationship, Patrick's eyes became deep.

At this time, the red light outside the emergency room dimmed. Everyone immediately stood up and rushed to the chief doctor coming out.

"Doctor, how's my husband?" Alice asked with a pale face.

Amelia got up the fastest, but in the next second, she found no way to stand beside the doctor, who was surrounded by Alice, Brittany and Daniel.

Patrick hugged her and comforted, "Dad will be fine."

Amelia's tight lips trembled. She hated her father, but she did not want him to die.

The doctor took off his mask and said, "The operation was successful, but the situation is not completely stable yet. He needs to stay in the hospital for some time. Who will come with me to process?" Alice breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me do it."

After the doctor and Alice left, Brittany held Daniel's arm and said thankfully,"... Thank God."

Daniel smiled reluctantly with comfort as he was worried about the business when George was sick. In addition, Amelia knew nothing about Apex's business and Brittany had not yet graduated. It's a good chance for him to take over the company.

Hearing her father was fine, Amelia felt relieved and felt she couldn't stand on her feet. Fortunately, Patrick had been supporting her.

This was seen by Daniel and he said, "Amelia, you couple are so sweet. It's really enviable."

Patrick said in a low and cold voice, "Mr. Philips, please don't call my wife's first name directly. I'm jealous."

Amelia's ears turned red. She raised her eyes and wanted to look at Patrick, but was pressed back by him.

Her face was in his chest and she smelled the cigarette on his shirt, which calmed her down.

In others' eyes, this pose was more like that Amelia was shy upon Patrick's words.

Daniel's mood suddenly sank and apologized, "It's because I've been used to calling her Amelia and I haven't changed yet. Sorry for this, Mr. Hopper."

Looking at Brittany, Patrick said, "I advise you to get used to your current identity as soon as possible, Mr. Philip. Otherwise, your fiancee would feel hurt."

Brittany was happy as the topic was changed to her. Then she hugged Daniel's waist with her arms and said, "Don't worry, my brother-in-law. Daniel said that we will never leave each other. And I believe him." A tricky smile appeared on Amelia's face when she was hidden in Patrick's hug as Daniel told her the same...

Amelia looked at her dad through the window on the door and saw the wrinkles on his face, sighing that he was really getting old.

At this time, a cell phone rang. Amelia turned around and saw Patrick taking out his mobile phone from his pocket. The name were displayed on the screen -Cynthia.

It was really dazzling. Amelia frowned but didn't say anything. She wanted to see what Patrick was gonna do.

"Let me pick a call." Patrick told her as usual and strode to a quiet place.

Staring at the man walking back, who protected her a few minutes ago, Amelia was waiting to see if he would tell her the truth.

Stopping, Patrick answered the call, and the sound of Cynthia crying came: "Brother Patrick! My brother has an accident, please help me!"

Patrick frowned irritably and said, "I've got something urgent here and won't be able to come to you."

"No, brother Patrick! Let me finish!" Cynthia hurriedly said, "My brother owes a lot of debts because of gambling. Now there is a creditor blocking in my brother's ward. It's hard for him to survive and I can't just watch him being beaten to death! The creditor requested us to pay back immediately. Otherwise, I will be kidnapped and sold... We are the only family of my father. If we don't live well, my father will definitely not be able to live..."

The last sentence was the most heart- piercing. Patrick's refusal a few seconds ago turned into "Tell me your address."

Returning to Amelia, before he could say anything, Amelia asked with her back towards him, "Can't you stay here with me?"

This was the first time that she had asked him to stay and he felt touched. But he said, "I have something urgent to work on."

Amelia looked at him with her head tilted with her black hair fell on her slender shoulder, which made her face thinner. She said, "Alright, just go. I will go home by myself."

Thinking his father-in-law had been rescued in time, but Cynthia's situation was at stake, Patrick turned around and left without hesitation.

"Patrick..." Amelia called.

Then Patrick turned around and saw her looking at him from a distance. The look in her eyes made him worried.

She smiled faintly and continued, "Drive safely."

Amelia was left there. The breeze blew through the window and blew the corner of Amelia's skirt, bringing unspeakable silence.

Not long after Patrick left, Brittany and Daniel walked out of the ward. Alice said, "You guys can go back home. I'll take care of your dad."

Daniel said in a hurry, "Mom, let me do this. It's suffering."

Alice smiled kindly and said, "I know clearly about your father's habits. I'll feel at ease if I can take care of him here."

Brittany did not insist and said, "Mom, then we're going home."

The two saw Amelia sitting alone in the chair in a daze. Brittany couldn't help gloating and asked, "Hey, where's my brother-in-law? Didn't he accompany you all the time?" Amelia glanced at her coldly and said nothing.
