Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 375

Now Patrick was like a wanderer in the desert struggling to find water. Even if it was just an illusion, he was

willing to wallow in it.

The next day, when Amelia woke up, she found Patrick holding her and slept peacefully. His hot body had

returned to normal temperature, but the bloodstains on his hands were still startling to her. Sighing softly, she

picked up the quilt and decided to get up, only to find herself restrained by the strong and powerful arms on her

waist. So she gently removed them, got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom.

When she emerged again, she heard the phone ringing from the coat that had been thrown to the ground by

Patrick. Amelia bent down and quickly picked it up.

Before she could speak, the voice cfrom the phone eagerly. "Amelia, your father woke up this morning!"

After staring blankly for a few seconds, Amelia asked breathlessly, "Really?"

"It's true, but..."

"I'll be there right now!" Overjoyed, Amelia cut short what Alice was going to say.

When Alice realized it, there was only the beeping sound from the phone.

This was great! Dad finally woke up!

Amelia put on her clothes happily and tried to ask Patrick to go with her. But he had been worn out by the effect

of the drug, so no matter how loudly Amelia shouted, Patrick didn't respond.

Helplessly, Amelia had to call the front-desk personnel first and asked them to bring her sband-aids. Then

she opened the package and put them to Patrick's fists with order. After that, she bowed her head to kiss him on

the back of his hand and said with concern, "Please, even for the sake of your family, you should take good care

of yourself."

Not knowing how much thad passed, when Patrick opened his heavy eyelids, he found himself in an

unfamiliar place.

His thoughts stopped for a few seconds, and the memories of last night cback to his mind like a film...

He still remembered that he had met Cynthia in the F&S Club and accidentally drank a Bloody Mary. After that,

like a piece of meat on a roasting rack, he had been tortured. But he couldn't remember what had happened

next...

Glancing at the messy quilt and pillow, on which even lay a long hair from a woman, his heart sank. He hadn't

lost control and slept with Cynthia, had he?

"D*mn it!" He should not have drunk the wine brought by someone else last night! If he had slept with Cynthia,

he would let both Cynthia and Amelia down!

He pressed his hands on his forehead out of annoyance and saw a few band-aids. Bewildered for a few moments,

he suddenly remembered how he had hit the wall with force to dampen his desire. The reason he had done so

was that he didn't want to do anything that would hurt Amelia. He had really... tried his best.

At the hospital.

Approaching her father's ward delightfully, Amelia looked up and noticed several strangers gathering at the door.

After Alice's introduction, they turned out to be the senior managers of the Apex Construction Corporation.

When it cto the interests of her father's company, Amelia could not help but say sweetly,

"Good morning."

"Who is this?" A middle-aged man with a pointed jaw asked Alice.

Alice smiled and said, "Kaleb, she's the eldest daughter of Gilbert."

After a pause, Alice said to Amelia, "Amelia, talk to your uncle. I'll check on your father first."

After Alice left, Amelia glanced at Kaleb and asked, feeling strange, "Are you my uncle?"

Kaleb didn't behave as distant as Amelia. Instead, he cover and said with enthusiasm, "It's been so many

years since we last saw each other. Amelia, you are a mature girl now. | remember that when you were a kid, |

have put you in my arms."

Kaleb was Gilbert's cousin. He hadn't had any particular skills since he was a kid. His parents had pulled strings

for him and made him the deputy general manager of Apex Construction Corporation. Over the years, his

performance was ordinary, but the good thing was that he hadn't made any serious mistakes. As a result, Gilbert

had been able to tolerate him to achieve nothing in the position.

Kaleb's mouth smelled like cigarettes. He had just had a nice meal and had no tto brush his teeth. Exposed

to the smell, Amelia wanted to take a step back. She forced a smile, "It seems that there was such a thing.

Uncle, when did you join the Apex

Construction Corporation? Why didn't | hear Dad mention it?"

Kaleb let out a "well" and said bluntly in front of all his colleagues, "Since you don't get along well with your

family, maybe your Dad didn't tell you that. Brittany and Daniel both know that I'm working in Apex..." The

corner of Amelia's mouth twitched. "Even if you are telling the truth, don't say it in front of me, okay? Your social

skills are so poor," Amelia said inwardly.

The truth proved that Kaleb did have terrible social skills. After a hiccup, he continued as an uncle, "Luckily, your

father still got Brittany and Daniel to help him. Otherwise, he would have long been drained by such a large

family. Even though you are the eldest, you are still a woman. In the end, you would be more suitable to take

care of your husband and children. As for a huge company like Apex, it'd be better in Daniel's hands."

Amelia pursed her lips. To most people, she was a nominal Lady Ramsay, let alone others. Even Kaleb, who was

related to her, could not

recognize Amelia when he saw her. How could she expect other employees in the company to recognize and

respect her?

Besides, over the past years, Daniel had built up his reputation and influences in the company and had won the

support of so many employees.

If Amelia was going to compete with Daniel, she would be overreaching herself!

Daniel had been carefully working his way up to where he was today. He had made it so smoothly that Amelia

could not help but wonder whether he had something to do with Gilbert's sudden stroke.

It was a good thing that Gilbert woke up today. Amelia would find out the answer soon after she asked him!

"Uncle, and sirs, are you going in with me?"

"Okay. Let's go in quickly. | was so excited when | heard that Gilbert has woken up today." Kaleb didn't sound

very excited.

The other senior managers expressed their concerns, but only they themselves knew whether that was their true

feelings.
