Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 386

After what seemed like a long time, Cynthia saw Patrick nod gently.

Then, she was taken into a dry and warm embrace. She choked up, having a feeling that all her waiting and

efforts had cto an end in this hug!

"Goodbye, Cynthia."

"Goodbye... Patrick."

After seeing Cynthia off, Patrick was about to leave for Roxxon when his cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it

out to have a look and found it was from home. "Hello, it's me."

The next second, the maid's rattled voice came, "Mr. Patrick, something bad has happened! Mrs. Eve...

Something happened to Mrs. Eve!"

Amelia received the news slightly later. When she learned from Florence that Eve had taken too many sleeping

pills at hlast night and had been sent to the emergency room, she was so caught off guard. Florence, who

could not bear it anymore, cried, "Amelia! Why is it that in such a few days, our family seems to have changed

completely? Dad ran away, and Mom committed suicide. Amelia, do you think our family is going to fall apart?"

Exaggerated as her words had been, they showed that Florence valued her family more than anything else. As

the youngest kid in the family, she was beloved the most by Howard and Eve. The fact that her parents’

relationship had deteriorated to such an extent was obviously a blow to Florence.

"No, it won't..." Amelia comforted her, not very convincing.

When Amelia drove to the hospital Florence had told her, she found Patrick was standing still outside the

operating room like a statue. Beside him was only Florence, whose eyes were red from tears. Looking at Patrick,

who was full of sorrow, and Florence, who was no longer smiling, Amelia had an impulse to hug them and share

their sadness.

Just as she was walking towards them, Florence, who had her back to Amelia, turned to Patrick and asked,

"Patrick, who exactly is this Jocelyn? Where is her home? I'm going to find her now. I'm pulling her here to kneel

in front of Mom and pray for Mom to be safe!"

Amelia paused slightly at her sudden announcements.

Patrick, who had seen her wife long ago, raised his eyebrows cruelly at Amelia's flustered face.

"Florence, don't worry. I've sent for Jocelyn."

His words were neutral, but the hostility was obvious in it. Amelia clenched her fists and perked herself up before

getting closer to them again.

"Patrick, Florence!"

Hearing Amelia's voice, Florence turned back immediately. The hatred for Jocelyn in her eyes had not

disappeared yet, which left Amelia a wrong feeling that Florence hated Amelia, too.

It was not until Florence spoke to her that the strange feeling was dispelled. "Amelia, Owen said that he has

found out where Dad is. Now he is bringing Dad here with Nora." Amelia asked, somewhat absent-minded, "How

many sleeping pills has Eve taken at one time?"

"A whole bottle!" Out of her surprise, it was Patrick who answered her this time.

Amelia could hardly count the number of sleeping pills in a bottle. She thought it was Eve's trick of forcing

Howard back by hurting herself, but now it seemed that Eve did want to die.

"I heard that patients who have taken sleeping pills would not be at risk as long as the doctors pump their

stomachs in time. Don't worry, everyone."

Amelia's consolation resulted in Patrick's cold remark. "Save it. I'm sick of your hypocrisy."

Amelia froze.

"Patrick! How can you talk to Amelia like this!" Florence took Amelia's forearm and retorted.

Patrick had long regarded Amelia as Florence's helper and refused to be kind to her. "Florence, have you

forgotten that you're a Hopper? Chere!"

"Patrick..." Florence looked confused.

Patrick had always sided with Amelia in serious issues. Why was he so angry and treating her so weirdly today?

He even couldn't stand that Florence was closer to Amelia.

Seeing Florence's perplexed look, Patrick only blamed Amelia for hiding her true color too well. No one knew

what sordid business Amelia had done except him. "Florence, do you wantto tell you the truth? The woman

you're holding is a college classmate with Jocelyn's daughter. When Amelia heard that I'm acting against Jocelyn

and her daughter, she secretly called Dad and inspired him to run away. And, do you remember what Grandma

said at hyesterday?"

Florence nodded blankly while digesting the information in Patrick's words. "Grandma wanted Dad to marry

another woman."

"Huh..." Patrick glanced at Amelia's nervous little face and sneered, "And what did your sister-in-law say?"

Florence pondered for a moment before she answered, "According to Amelia, she should sympathize with Dad

and said something like hoping Dad would be happy."

At this point, Florence could understand Amelia. After all, Howard's attitude toward Amelia was totally different

from the terrible way Eve had treated her.

As the older one, Amelia shouldn't make a fuss about it when Florence was angry with her. Otherwise, wasn't

Amelia just another Eve?
