Chapter 600
When Patrick saw a slender figure walking towards the door, he could not help grabbing her wrist. Then he asked
with his charming gaze. "Where are you going? Are you in a rush that you even forget to wear your shoes?"
Sissi raised her face when she heard Patrick's voice. He noticed her curly eyelashes were stained with tears
which made his heart ache.
"What's wrong with you?" Patrick grabbed her hand even tighter and asked with great concern, "Are you feeling
uncomfortable?"
She kept shaking her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes sadly.
After a while, she managed to talk and asked, "Why do you do this?"
Patrick frowned "What have | done?"
Sissi pointed at him casually. First, she felt distressed. Then she blamed him. "Why do you rescue me? It doesn't
matter if | freeze to death. However, you have a family. If anything happens to you, how can | explain it to
them?"
Patrick pursed his lips and said, "You don't need to explain to them. | volunteered to save you."
"But | don't need it!" Sissi shouted at the top of her voice. "I don't need you to sacrifice yourself for me! I'm
willing to freeze to death in the mountains and | don't want to die together with you!"
The secretary who stayed at the door thought inwardly, "Such a pretentious woman!"
However, when Patrick listened to Sissi's words, he would feel very touched!
After this narrow escape, Patrick could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye to Sissi.
He picked her up. Then he put her back on the bed and said repeatedly, "I'm willing to sacrifice myself as long as
the person I'm saving is you."
The secretary was so angry at the door that she almost burst.
Tears welled up in Sissi's eyes when she heard Patrick's confession. She said regretfully, "It's too late..."
His hands which were about to wipe her tears froze in the air. Both of them knew what that meant.
Patrick left quietly after Sissi fell asleep being tired from crying.
The secretary who was leaning against the wall kept yawning. She shouted as soon as she saw Patrick cout,
"Mr. Hopper." He glanced at the secretary. Even though Patrick's face was getting slimmer, there was still a
terrifying domineering aura in his body. "How long have | been asleep?"
The secretary calculated roughly. "It's been five days."
Patrick observed the structure of the hospital and said with certainty, "This is not Timothy Village."
The secretary nodded. "The treatment conditions in the village are limited, so | made my own decision to send
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMs. Roberts and sir to a nearby city. | hope Mr. Hopper will not blme."
Patrick curled his lips and looked softly at Sissi lying in the ward. "Why should | blyou? Maybe both of us are
already dead without your prompt decision."
"Mr. Hopper, please allowto say something. You almost froze to death. As for Ms. Roberts, she won't die no
matter what happens to her. She is like a cat with nine lives."
"What do you mean?"
The secretary said half-jokingly, "Once in the library, once in the mountains and once in the pit. Teacher Sissi had
been in mishaps for three times and she could solve the crisis easily. What else would she be i she's not a cat
with nine lives?"
The secretary was kind enough to say that Sissi was a cat. She wanted to make a bet that Sissi was actually a
real cunning vixen!
Patrick frowned, "Mind your words, she's my teacher!"
The secretary was stunned and burst into laughter as if she had heard a joke." Sissi is your teacher? Mr. Hopper,
you seem to be kidding me!"
However, she did not laugh for a long tbefore she stopped. This was because Patrick's expression looked
very serious.
"Mr. Hopper, is she really your teacher?"
"Yes."
"When did she becyour teacher?"
"Third year in high school."
Patrick treated his secretary as a shoulder to cry on, he recalled, "She's even my first love."
The secretary stood rooted at the spot.
She suddenly understood why Patrick would rather take the risk of being frozen to death to hold Sissi tightly in
his arms.
If it were not for the fact that the secretary knew Amelia first, she would have pitied their reunion.
After the secretary forced herself to focus on her moral value, she said, "Mr. Hopper, Madam Ramsay has been in
contact withduring the twhen you were unconscious..."
"Did you tell her?" Patrick's voice turned cold.
The secretary replied with a flicker in her eyes, "No!"
Patrick stared into her eyes and said, "Remember that you're my secretary not Amelia's. You have to know what
things you should say and shouldn't!"
A chill crept down to the secretary's
backbone. She forced a smile and
said, "I know! Its jus. aye MM
helped POUNOL 16 report to Madam
Ramsay for many days. Shouldn't
you call her to tell her that you're
safe?" The content is on

Patrick subconsciously fumbled his pockets only to find that he was in a hospital gown. He looked up at the
secretary and asked, "Where's my mobile phone?"
"Well, when we found you, your mobile phone was no longer with you."
Patrick's eyes flickered and he suddenly recalled, "I lost it during the journey."
The secretary quickly handed over her mobile phone with both hands and asked, "Do you need to use my phone
to call?"
However, Patrick was not in a hurry to take it.
Instead, he pushed the secretary's hand away and said lightly, "Let's talk about it later. I'm sleepy."
The secretary could only remain speechless.
At Apex Construction Corporation.
After Amelia and Jonathan paid condolences to the victims who had been killed, they returned to the company to
hold a board meeting.
During the meeting, many directors opposed Amelia's decision to return two billion dollar to the bank.
In their opinions, Apex Construction Corporation could use the two billion dollar on other projects. Then, the
discussion topic swifted to Amelia's inability to do business.
"Of course, I'm not as good as everyone here when it comes to business." Amelia smiled.
The directors who had been on

embarrassed. This was because the

confused look. Jonathan sensed that
she needed help, so he took the
initiative to talk Ika Toe
