Chapter 578
"What are you doing here?" Patrick looked at Sissi, who was leaning against the wall, and asked with an
unpleasant look, "Did the doctor allow you to get out of bed?" Sissi let out a helpless smile. "I cout for a
walk. I've been in my room all day, I'm sick of it."
Patrick put his phone back into his pocket and asked gruffly, "Then why did you knock on my door?"
"| think you're bored being stuck in your room all day too. I'm afraid that you'll be bored to death, so | cto
see you." Sissi said matter-of-factly.
Patrick looked at her indifferently and said, "I have a wife. What if someone misunderstands it when you come
running tolike this?"
The look in Sissi's eyes darkened. "I didn't think that much..."
"Go back to your room!" With this, Patrick slammed the door with a tiny sense of shand anger.
Just by seeing her, he could not help but got softhearted. If he continued to be alone with her, there was not any
guarantee that he would not do anything impulsive.
However, Sissi, who was blocked outside the door,
did not feel defeated. She even chuckled.
According to her understanding of Patrick, the more he lost his temper with her, the more it proved that he had
her on his mind. It was just his pride that made him unable to forgive her in a short period of time. At Land of
Fragrance.
In the middle of the night, Amelia was awakened by the ringing of her phone. She grabbed her phone and found
that it was from the family number of the Ramsay Family.
Raising her eyebrows, Amelia pressed the answer button and put it to her ear. "Hello?" said Amelia softly.
"Amelia! It's Aunt Alice! Daniel, he... No, it's the development zone..."
Alice's panicked voice filled Amelia's ears, turning her sleepy expression into grimness. "Did you mean that the
building that Daniel had just constructed in the tourist area had...collapsed?"
"Yes... The specific situation is still unclear... The only news from the development zone is hundreds of
construction workers were resting in a nearby dormitory at night... I'm afraid that they might be all buried
inside..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing this, Amelia got a little light-headed. If possible, she hoped that it was April Fool's Day or she was
still dreaming. However, Alice's sobs dragged her back to the cruel reality. There was no tto idle around!
Amelia got out of bed as fast as she could to change. While tying up her hair, she hurried downstairs.
Huxton, who was dozing off on the sofa, immediately awakened when he heard movement coming from the
stairs.
Seeing that Amelia was well dressed, Huxton asked in a clear voice, "Madam, where are you going?"
Amelia did not hide her impatience, but her thoughts were clear. She said, "The building of Apex Construction
Corporation had collapsed, and the nearby construction workers may have been trapped inside. | need to get to
the scene to see what's going on!"
Huxton felt that this was not trivial matter. He picked up his suit jacket on the tea table, straightened up and
said, "I'll send you there."
Amelia nodded and added, "By the way, please gather all the manpower that you can. I'll be needing help!"
Just a hint from Huxton and all of the men in black cinto the living room at once from all over the house. He
then said, "You, call all hospitals in Northville and ask them to send ambulances to the scene. You, contact all
police stations in Northville to send search dogs to find the trapped victims. As for you, contact all of the
construction teams in Northville and let them bring over cranes and excavators. And you..."
After delegating a list of tasks in an orderly manner, Huxton looked back and said to Amelia, "Madam, let's go."
"Alright!" Amelia nodded her head solemnly.
When Huxton and Amelia arrived at the scene of the accident, they were met with chaos. The sirens of the police
cars and ambulances rose and fell in the air, accompanied by the presence of a flock of reporters. However, they
were all expelled by the relevant units, "It's very dangerous here. Nonpersonnel are prohibited from entering!"
The reporters persisted and said, "We'll just take a picture and leave!"
"What's there to take pictures? Please leave!" The relevant units were getting riled up. Once these photos were
published, the reputation of Apex Construction Corporation would take a hard hit and plummet. But such a
method of stopping them was useless.
The reporters would not miss any chance for srelevant photos.
Seeing this, Amelia turned to Huxton and said, "There are so many people here. We can't drive the car any more
further inside. Let's get off here."
"Okay." Huxton parked the car outside of the crowd.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Amelia unbuckling her seat belt. He quickly said, "Madam, you'd better not
get off the car."
Amelia was dismayed. "Why?"
Huxton pursed his lips and said, "You're the daughter of the president of Apex Construction Corporation. If you
get out of the car, there will be questions blasting your way. | advise you to stay in the car." Amelia's voice was
tense. She looked out of the window and said, "How can | just stand by and watch when such a horrible accident
has happened to my father's company?"
Huxton said, "You're not in charge of this project. You don't know how it operates or which part of it had gone
wrong. If you go out like this, other than being surrounded by reporters, you'll also get beat up by the family
members of the construction staff. Do you believe this?"
"I do." Amelia raised her hand and pinched the space between her eyebrows. For the first tshe felt she was
at her wits' end.
Huxton glanced at her and said, "Madam, this kind of accident can't be undone or resolved by one person alone,
so don't blyourself too much."
With that, he opened the car door and walked out.
Amelia looked up on intuition. "Huxton, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find out what's going on for you. You just stay in the car, and don't even roll down the window."
Huxton walked toward the centre of the accident after giving Amelia a determined look.

However, she was pushed back down mercilessly by
Huxton, who was guarding by Amelia's side.
Fortunately, Alice managed to hold Brittany in time.
Otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground.
"Brittany, stop making trouble!" Alice advised Brittany, exhausted.
After Alice finished, Amelia turned back and said to Huxton, "Be gentler. She's pregnant."
"Yes, madam" Huxton replied indifferently.
