Chapter 682
After a while, Patrick walked into the room and squatted down in front of her. He called out, "Sissi."
Sissi's eyelashes trembled. Her gaze was hollow when she looked at him.
An hour later.
Sissi had showered for nearly an hour. Upon Patrick's concerning, the door of the bathroom unlocked.
Immediately after, she walked out in a bathrobe.
Patrick had been smoking with his back facing the bathroom door. When he heard the sound of the door opening,
he threw his half-lit cigarette into the dustbin nearby before turning around gradually. Patrick could feel the
coldness from her skin. He asked coldly, "You showered in cold water?"
Sissi blinked her eyes and replied with a 'yes' distantly with her expression cold.
Patrick pursed his lips and asked with a complicated expression, "Why do you have to do that?"
Sissi spat out a word, "Dirty."
Patrick was stunned.
Sissi looked at him in anger and agony. She was so desperate to vent her anger that she pulled her hair violently,
"Patrick, what should | do? | can't help feeling myself dirty!"
Upon realizing what was she doing, Patrick managed to save her hair from being ripped away from her hand
after he grabbed her hands.
"Letgo!" Sissi madly stomped her feet after her hands were cuffed by Patrick.
In a hurry, Patrick blurted out, "Sissi! Calm down! It's not your first tanyway!"
As soon as Patrick finished his sentence, Sissi abruptly stopped all her struggles.
She glanced at him blankly and asked tearfully, "What do you mean by that? You think that since I've been
married and my body was once belonged to that man, hence it doesn't matter for such thing to happen one
more time, is it?"
Patrick frowned and said, "That's not what | mean! | just want to comfort you."
Sissi shut her eyes and let out an explosive roar, "Patrick, | have already divorced with that b*stard. He had no
right to do this to me! So, stop convincinginto normalizing such disgusting thing. Do you hear me?!"
Patrick stared at her bloodshot eyes and asked the question that he had wanted to ask from the beginning, "Now
that you have divorced him, why did you cto the hotel with him?" Patrick's question immediately watered
down her anger like a bucket of cold water being splashed on her.

She smiled bitterly as if she had thought of something, "Before | went to class this morning, | received a call from
him. He toldon the phone that he wanted to cto Northville to check on me.
| had refused at first. But then he said that his flight had already landed on Northville. | was very surprised at
that tand felt that it was indeed uneasy for him to cfrom abroad just to see me. Hence, | requested for a
half-day leave from the school so that | can pick him up at the airport.
After we met, he said that he wanted to stay and tour around Northville for the next few days. That was why |
had brought him here. Initially | was thinking to leave upon helping him into settling down. | didn't expect that he
would lock the door... And then..."
Sissi could not bring herself to continue. She buried her face in Patrick's chest and burst into tears.
A trace of bitterness flashed across Patrick's perfect face. He loosened his grip on Sissi's wrists. Instead, he held
her back gently in comforting her.
Sissi spoke again in sobbing, "Patrick, | know it's all my fault. Had | not seen him, all this would not have
happened..."
Patrick's expression turned cold, "I'll issue an arrest warrant later, if | find him..."
"No!" Sissi interrupted him from finishing his words. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to see him
anymore!"
Patrick frowned at her mercy and kindness, "Then do you mind that | teach him a lesson personally in private?"
Sissi refused still, "No... He is a journalist abroad. | don't want to get you into trouble because of this."
Patrick said coldly, "I can make him incapable of being a journalist ever again."
Biting her lips, Sissi said dejectedly, "You don't understand..."
Hearing this, Patrick frowned and subconsciously pushed Sissi away from his arms. He asked in a serious tone,
"Is there something else that you're hiding from me?"
He was not afraid to stand up for Sissi, however he could not tolerate the idea that she had once again made a
fool of him!
"|..." Sissi raised her eyes and looked at him. She seemed unable to bring herself into saying what was on her
mind.
Patrick sternly demanded, "What's wrong with you? Tellclearly!"
Sissi sighed, "Actually,and him, the two of us had not completely separated..."
Patrick's eyes narrowed. He suppressed his emotions and waited for her to continue.
Thinking of what she was going to say next, Sissi could not help feeling melancholic, "He threatenedon the
phone. If I didn't go to the airport to pick him up, he would call my parents and tell them about our divorce... My
parents have already been worried for my welfare all the time. Had they known that | applied for divorce secretly
and cback to Northville, | would have terribly pissed them off!" Patrick glared at her and said, "For this
reason, you are willing to be controlled by him?"
"Of course I'm not willing! But what
can | do? My parents were

Looking at Sissi's trembling back, Patrick's eyes softened a little.
"I won't leave." Silent for a while, he finally spoke.
However, Sissi acted as if she did not hear him. She walked forward, leaving him behind.
She stood still in front of the window in the posture as if the world had failed her and left her alone.
The next second, Sissi was wrapped by a hug that she had been longing for from behind.
Next to her ear, Patrick sighed, "I've told you, | won't go."
Sissi tried to hold back her tears, but in the end, she could not stop them from falling.
In the hospital.
"Amelia, I'm here."
Amelia looked around and saw Alice standing at the door of a ward not far away, waving at her.
She hurried over and stood in front of Alice. She greeted her politely, "Aunty Alice, I'm here."
Getting closer, she could hear a voice of woman screaming frantically coming from Alice's back. Amelia glanced
over and saw that Brittany was making a scene inside.
