Chapter 15
Helplessly, she had no choice but to ask the guards on patrol for help. It took two guards to carry Patrick back in
the house..
Still, she did not want to disturb her new family's rest. Once they were at the house entrance, she had to once
again take on the weight of her husband alone.
She had a glimpse of Patrick just as she was panting from the heavy lifting. All she smelled was a pungent rush
of alcohol from his breath and clothes. Pushing down her strong urge to throw him into the swimming pool, step
by step Amelia dragged him past the house's entryway.
While Amelia was struggling to move, Patrick slowly regained consciousness.
Staring down at the little head of his wife's, he once again took advantage of his new identity as Amelia's
husband, "Mrs. Hopper, water please..."
For a moment, she almost fainted after hearing Patrick calling here Mrs. Hopper with his grave yet soothing
voice.
"Feeling better now? Can you walk to the living room on your own?" she asked.
"Yea." Despite his response, Patrick did not want to get off her at all.
His long arm had unconsciously wrapped around her tiny waist. Something was about to change.
Patrick had turned the tide: from leaning on Amelia to embracing her petite body.
She could only pretend that he was not entirely sober, had to keep moving while ignoring whatever Patrick was
trying to do.
At this moment, Patrick was breathing on Amelia's neck, appreciating the sight of her beautiful neck, and was
eager to give it a kiss.
However, in the next second, with all her might Amelia slammed Patrick like a wrestler on the sofa in the living
room.
Seeing Patrick's pale face, Amelia thought that he hurt his butt. Unexpectedly, he touched his fresh wound on his

"Letget you a glass of water. Be right back." After a pause, she noticed Patrick deliberate kept his right hand
away from everything. She couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with your hand?" Patrick's eyes darkened. "It was
an accident.”
Amelia nodded and went to get him a glass of warm water. After watching Patrick gulping it down, she said,
"Where is the first aid kit at home? I'll get it."
"There is one in my bedroom."
"Okay."
Seeing Amelia had been hustling around for him since he cback, Patrick suddenly felt that it was kind of
nice to have a woman looking after him at home.
After Amelia poured sMerbromin on a ball of cottonwool, she attentively observed Patrick's facial
expression, "Tellif it hurts."
Patrick chuckled, thinking she was teasing him.
Amelia did not intend to make fun of Patrick. When dressing with the wound, she found that ssmall glass
shards remained in Patrick's palm. She had to take them out with a pair of sterilized tweezers before she could
help cover the wound with ointment.
In such procedure, any average man might yell and cry for the pain to stop, but Patrick was no average men. No
matter how deep her tweezers dug in his hand, he remained silent.
After applying the medicine and wrapping his hand with gauze, she closed the first aid kit and reminded him, "Be
careful with the bath later. Don't get your hand wet or it might get infected."
Patrick looked at his right hand calmly and said with a straight face, "Well, since I'm injured, can you bathe me?"
Amelia's beautiful face was slightly heated up, and she almost applauded for Patrick's perseverance.
If he hadn't helped her with Jessica earlier, she wouldn't give a damn about him. Looking at him crawling back
after getting drunk from a nightclub, he was just another spoilt brat to her. "I'm tired. Gonna get ssleep now.
Help yourself."
Seeing Amelia walking away without hesitation, Patrick had no reason to stay in the living room, so he followed
her.
His shadow was casted on Amelia's body by the light like a mountain, an omnipotent guardian, a shadow that
she cannot get rid of.
After entering the bedroom, Patrick looked at the king-sized bed. There was a white pillow on it and a dark
blanket on it, sas usual.
However, it was the usuality that surprised Patrick.

Patrick's eyes were dark like a black hole, and replied with no emotions, "Whatever you like."
After he walked into the bathroom, Amelia laid on the sofa and wrapped herself in the blanket.
Since Patrick had said he never agreed to get married, naturally she was not obligated to share a bed with him.
