Chapter 575
Patrick, who was ahead of Sissi, reached out and pulled at the library's door only to find that the two doors would
not budge no matter how hard he tried. His face darkened as he assumed, "Is the door locked from outside?"
Sissi also tried to open the door to no avail. She asked, "Could it be that the librarian thought there was no one in
the library, so they locked it?"
"Why would they lock it? It's just a crappy library. Will thieves have their eyes set here?"
From Patrick's point of view, even if thieves cto steal from this school, they would not know where to start
because there was nothing for them to take!
Seeing that Patrick had raised his leg and was about to kick the door, Sissi stopped him and said, "Wait. I'll call
the management and ask them to unlock it!"
Hearing this, Patrick withdrew his long legs and turned to sit on the bench. He said impatiently, "Then hurry up!"
"Okay." Sissi searched for the contact on her phone and dialed it. She then furrowed her brows slightly and said
helplessly to Patrick, "No one answered. It seems that everyone has got off work."
Patrick subconsciously looked at his watch and found that he had been busy working with Sissi without noticing
that it was already six-thirty in the evening...
"Letdo it." Looking away from the watch, Patrick took out his cell phone from his pocket and called the
secretary. He then asked her to bring someone to unlock the door for them.
Sissi's attention fell on his phone. "When did you start liking domestic products?"
Following her gaze to his phone, Patrick replied irritably, "Ah this, | bought it to cater to my wife's tastes, it's a
couple's model."
Stunned for a moment, Sissi pulled her lips into an awkward smile. "I haven't asked you yet, what kind of person
is your wife?"
"She's dumb and stupid," answered Patrick. The corner of his lips could not help but lift.
Sissi murmured, "Really?" Didn't he always like the smart type?
On that note, both of them had nothing else to say.
Patrick had only relaxed his frown when the secretary brought smen over to pry open the door. He
straightened up and walked towards the door.
Sissi remained rooted to the ground, left alone and forgotten behind.
"Mr. Hopper, are you alright?"
When the secretary realized that Patrick and Sissi were in the sroom alone, she scanned Patrick from top to
bottom.
Fortunately, his clothes were still neat, and there were no lipstick marks on his face and neck...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPatrick replied neutrally, "I'm fine. Helppack my things when you get back. | want to go back to Northville
immediately."
"Really?" The secretary's eyes lit up.
Patrick gave her a sidelong glance. "Why are you so excited?"
The secretary took a lot of effort to hold back herself from revealing Amelia's previous appearance at this village.
"I just feel sorry for Mr. Hopper, who's suffering in this godforsaken place..."
The next second, the look in the secretary's eyes changed suddenly. She pointed to somewhere at Sissi, who was
behind Patrick in horror, and screamed, "Teacher Sissi! Look out!"
Bang...
A shabby bookshelf fell to the ground and hit Sissi's legs. Fortunately, with the warning from the secretary, Sissi
had turned sideways to avoid it. Otherwise, the bookshelf would have collapsed on Sissi directly.
Patrick reacted at lightning speed. He rushed over and shoved the bookshelf from Sissi's legs.
"Can you walk?" Patrick looked at Sissi nervously. Seeing Sissi biting her lower lip and shaking her head, Patrick
paid no attention to the books and newspapers scattered all over the floor, picked her up from the ground, and
dashed out the door!
At this sight, the secretary stomped her feet and ran after them.
In the room...
The doctor had just removed his hand from Sissi's legs when Patrick asked immediately, "What's the situation?"
"Except for the swelling of Miss Sissi's right ankle, there's nothing serious," the doctor said.
Patrick said in a tense voice, "How is that nothing serious?"
The doctor was a little at loss at what to say. Did he have to describe it as something along the lines of 'dire
condition’ for Mr. Hopper to be contented? "Patrick, I'm fine. Don't get angry at the doctor." Sissi, who was
leaning on the pillow, felt a sense of satisfaction after hearing what Patrick said.
Patrick glanced at Sissi's foot injury and asked the doctor, "When will this heal?"
The doctor explained cautiously, "As you've known, it should take a hundred days to heal any broken tendon or
injured bone. Ms. Sissi should walk less during this period of time. If Ms. Sissi insists on getting out of bed, then
it's best to have someone accompany her."
Noticing that Patrick was thinking about it due to his compassion towards Sissi out of the corner of her eyes, the
secretary quickly jumped out to stop him. "Mr. Hopper, you can leave it toto take care of Teacher Sissi!
You're in a hurry to go back to Northville, right? I've already helped you contact the pilot on our way here. He
should be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain now!"
Patrick frowned and said, "Who told you to make your own decision?"
The secretary licked her lips. "Didn't you tellthat yourself? | was just following your instructions..."
Patrick fixed his eyes on Sissi, who was on the bed, and said, "Tell the pilot that | won't be going back today."
The secretary asked tentatively, "Then tomorrow?"
Patrick's eyes met hers and replied unhappily, "Since when do | need to consult for your opinion about when I'm
going back?"
The secretary laughed dryly. "Mr. Hopper, I'm just worried that Madam Ramsay will worry if you don't go back
after so many days."
At the mention of Amelia, Sissi interjected sadly, "She's right, you should go hquickly. | can take care of
myself."
Seeing Sissi driving him away, Patrick got even angrier. "Cut the crap. It's up toabout when to go home!"
Despite being lectured, the edges of Sissi's lips slightly curled into a smile.
The secretary was frustrated to the extreme. If she had known that it would be this way, she would not have
reminded Sissi and let the bookshelves smashed her to death... At Welcoming Chinese Hotpot Restaurant.

Such a promise...was too great. Amelia could not bear it.
Silently, she broke free from Milton's warm palms and laughed. "You're the main character tonight. Let's not talk
about him, it's disappointing."
