Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

"That's right." Huxton nodded without any hint of shame. Hethen reminded Amelia, "Madam, didn't you say

you're going to call sir tonight?" Amelia seemed hesitant. "Do you think | should contact him?"

Huxton answered without thinking, "You should. Sir is the only one who can help with the three billion debt for

you."

Amelia felt drained at the thought of that. She did not want to borrow money from Patrick!

Huxton added, "You're sir's wife. It's not embarrassing for you to ask him for help when in

difficulty."

In the secondary bedroom.

Recalling what Huxton had said, Amelia's hands started to tremble.

She plucked up her courage, grabbed the phone on the bedside table, and dialled Patrick's phone number while

holding her breath.

But his phone was turned off!

As if she had been thrown a wet blanket on her head, Amelia put down the phone stiffly.

Amelia looked up at the clock. It was not even eight o'clock yet. Even if Patrick was tired and had fallen asleep,

he did not have the habit of shutting off his phone before going to bed. Just in case, Amelia decided and

contacted Patrick's secretary.

An elegant melody sounded from the other end of the phone, but it did not do anything to relieve her anxiety.

After a while, Amelia heard someone responded, "Hello..." There was quite a hint of panic in her voice.

Though it was strange, Amelia still greeted her back. "Ms. Secretary, I'm Amelia."

"Oh, Madam Ramsay. What... what's the matter?"

Amelia's eyes froze. She did not mishear, after all.

The secretary was indeed a little nervous.

"Nothing. I just called Patrick and found that his phone was turned off. So | wanted to ask you if something has

gone wrong over there?"

The secretary's tongue seemed to have been tied. "Ah... nothing happened! Everything's fine!"

Amelia scowled and asked, "Ms. Secretary, what's wrong with you? Is your throat okay?"

The secretary faked cough. "Ahem, yea..."

Amelia shot her a question purely out of instinct, "Are you hiding something from me?"

The secretary stuttered twice before finally saying, "I'm really not! Mada Ramsay, please don't think too much!"

Amelia then added half-jokingly, "Then let the truth be told, did Patrick elope with Sissi?"

Silent fell from the other side of the phone.

Amelia's heart skidded a beat. Did she guess it right?

After a long pause, the secretary replied with a bitter laugh, "Madam Ramsay, it's not what you think it is. I'll just

tell you the truth. Yesterday morning, a few kids from the village went to the mountains to play without telling

their parents. Sissi got so worried that she ran out to search for them amidst the wind and snow."

"However, the kids in the mountain recognized the road hand cback. As for her, she was trapped and

could not get out. Mr. Hopper got fidgety and immediately organized people to search the mountain. Until now,

there's still no news about the search. | tried to call him, but the signal in the mountains is bad. | can't get in

touch with him..."

Horror-struck, Amelia reached out to grip the edge of the table beside her and asked with a pale face, "You've

been looking for them for almost a whole day now, right? Have you heard from him yet?"

The secretary said helplessly, "Yes, the mountain area isn't exactly small and manpower is limited. The worst

thing is that we can't get in touch with Mr. Hopper himself, so everyone is stuck without being able to do

anything about it. We can only hope that Mr. Hopper holds it out until we find him!"

Taking in a deep breath, Amelia analyzed the situation and said, "Under normal circumstances, even if a person

doesn't eat or drink for a day, there won't be any major problems. Not to mention that Patrick has been doing

exercise all year round."

The secretary agreed. "Indeed, I've been with Mr. Hopper for so long, and I've never seen him sick."

"Yes," Amelia replied softly.

The secretary then added, "Is there anything else, Madam Ramsay? If there isn't, | plan to go find Mr.

Hopper myself! He hasn't cback for a day and | can't wait any longer!"

Amelia had already forgotten why she called her in the first place. "There's nothing else. Please be careful. If

there is any news about Patrick, tellright away."

"Okay!" The secretary replied and quickly hung up.

Hearing the beeping sound in her ear, Amelia beclost in thought.

For the sake of another woman, her husband had run all over the place for her... Even risking his own life...

However, her father's company was facing a disaster. And right this moment, Amelia found herself being in a

huge debt. Pressure from the public was all on her. Not only that, but there was also the ravening looks from the

directors from the company. And she did not even have a person to talk to about all of these...

Her heart swelled with bitterness and sorrow, and amongst was her worry for Patrick's safety and the future of

Apex Construction Corporation.

The next day.

Amelia got up early from her light sleep that morning. The first thing she did was to make a phone call, but it still

could not reach Patrick's phone.

"Still haven't found him?" Amelia muttered to herself. She called the secretary to ask for confirmation, but even

she was missing.

At Roxxon Corporation, in the sales department.

"What? Amelia, you want to resign?"

When hearing Amelia uttered the word 'resign’, everyone in the sales department was startled.

Amelia's professional attire masked her dispirit. She brushed her hair and said, "Yes, I've chere today to

hand over my work."

At the sound of this, Doris pouted. "Amelia, aren't you doing well in Roxxon? Why are you leaving?"

"Yea, Amelia. Our department can't be without you." Everyone's eyes were filled to the brim with tears.

Lily was rendered speechless at their dullness. "Think about it, what's Amelia's surname?"

Everyone answered subconsciously in unison, "Ramsay."

Lily continued, "Then what's the surnof the founder of Apex Construction Corporation?"

"Ramsay! Ah?" Shell-shocked, everyone whipped their heads at her and stared at Amelia in disbelief.

"Amelia, are you... the eldest daughter of The Ramsay Family?"
