Eve rubbed her face uneasily and said, "I can't leave a scar, otherwise, my husband will definitely dislike me."

Paisley comforted her, "No, he won't. You're the most beautiful in his mind." Then, she left.

Patrick stood by the railing of the smoking area. He had not slept for the whole night, but there was not a trace of fatigue on his handsome face.

As Paisley was approaching, Patrick put out the cigarette and released his eyebrows, asking, "How's my mom?"

Paisley said briefly, "Don't worry." After a pause, she asked with concern, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Not yet." Patrick answered.

"Me neither. We go together?" Paisley asked.

"Sure." Patrick agreed. *

Just as Patrick and Paisley came back to the ward after breakfast, they suddenly heard Eve's shouting from the ward, "Stay away!"

Hearing this, Patrick got nervous again and rushed into the ward.

The porridge was poured on the floor. When Patrick pushed the door open, a thermos bottle rolled over his shoes and finally stopped at the corner of the wall.

When Patrick raised his eyes, he saw Eve shouting at Amelia, "Stay away! I told you to stay away!"

"Okay, okay..." Afraid of annoying Eve, Amelia comforted her verbally and stepped back, running into the sturdy male behind.

Amelia was frozen all over. She clearly knew who that was without even looking back.

Patrick got angry at Amelia's ignorance about his order.

He suddenly grabbed her thin wrist, dragged her out of the ward, and passed by Paisley.

With her hands in her pockets and waited for Eve to calm down, Paisley asked, "Auntie, who is that?"

"A b*tch, who wanted to kill me." Eve answered with a bit of anger.

Eve didn't even mention Amelia was her daughter-in-law and thought Patrick had a foresight by not organising a wedding but only registration.

On the other side-

Patrick didn't let Amelia go until he pulled her to the stairs.

Amelia felt pain on her arm, but standing on Patrick's shoes, she felt that it was reasonable for him to be so angry.

Glancing at Amelia, who didn't seem to sleep well, Patrick pointed at the stairs and said indifferently, "Go home!"

Amelia stood still, praying in her clear eyes, "Patrick, why do you have to do this? Even if I made a mistake, why don't you forgive me?"

At this time, she was even more humble as she would rather leave her original family to live independently than to be wronged to accept Alice and Brittany. Until now, she compromised to Patrick. It was a pity that he didn't appreciate it.

"Not everything can be forgiven. Please think twice before doing something. It might be too late to realise your fault and make an apology." Patrick said, resisting his madness.

Amelia felt more sorry. She would rather face her mother-in-law, who shouted at her physically. Instead of Patrick, whose words were sharp like swords, instructed her to the point.

"Amelia's apology wasn't late at all."

At this moment, a voice was heard. Patrick and Amelia looked over at the same time, stunned at first, and then shouted in unison, "Dad!"

When Howard was going upstairs, he heard Patrick's sharp words. After standing still, he said to Patrick, "I told Amelia to come to visit your mom. If you have to blame her, blame me then." Patrick smiled reluctantly and said, "Mom was talking about you when she woke up this morning. Go in and see her."

Hearing this, Howard thought his son was really a quick-witted, who skipped his topic and changed to his mom.

But Howard's eyes fell on Amelia and said, "Amelia, come with me."

Patrick took a look at Amelia, with his eyes full of disdain. He had no idea why his dad always protected her.

With her father-in-law's support, Amelia became more confident, so she pretended not to know Patrick's bad intentions and followed Howard to Eve's ward.

As soon as they entered the door, Amelia saw Eve holding Paisley's hand and asked nervously if the injury on her forehead would be cured.

The Hopper Family and The Bledel Family had been business partners. In addition, Paisley was a specialist, so Eve and Howard would turn to her once they feel unwell.

While Paisley was speaking, she caught a glimpse of Howard and greeted, "Uncle."

Seeing Amelia following her husband, Eve felt like to be out of temper again. However, Howard said politely to Paisley, "Paisley, we wanna talk about something private. Would you mind..." Paisley nodded cleverly and said, "Okay."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Howard said, "Amelia is here to apologise, but you drove her out. Can you behave like a mother?"

Eve's eyes were full of resentment and asked, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been injured at all!"

"Did she hurt you on purpose?" Howard asked patiently.

"She did!" Eve almost shouted.

Amelia explained, "Mom, think about it. What benefits would I get if I hurt you?"

Eve squinted at her and said, "If I die, you can keep Patrick well, and then you can do whatever you want with the identity that The Hopper Family gave you!"

Amelia said humbly, "The Hopper Family is indeed the wealthiest in Northville, but my Ramsay Family is a prestigious one. Then why do I have to be greedy for the so-called identity brought by The Hopper Family?"

Hearing this, Patrick, who was silent aside, showed a trace of displeasure on his face. What did she mean by "so-called identity"? Did she forget that they had always slept together?

It seemed that he had to remind Mrs. Hopper of this identity.

Eve squinted and sneered, "Miss Amelia Ramsay, you know that since your mother was committed a suicide, you aren't recognised by The Ramsay Family at all..."

"Shut up!" Howard flew into a rage as it was too much to take a person who had passed away as a hostage.

Eve still wanted to say something, but was stopped by her husband, so she had to shut up and groaned with her hand on the wound, "Ouch, I'm having a headache. Let me sleep." Howard looked at Amelia and felt sorry for her.

Looking into her father-in-law's eyes, Amelia said thoughtfully, "Since mom is tired, I won't bother you here."
