Chapter 168
The maid went out of the room timidly. While she was closing the door, she saw Hobart who was
standing in the corridor. She said softly, "Young master."
Hobart turned around and said, "When I went upstairs just now, I seemed to have heard that
Maryanne broke something again."
The maid said truthfully, "After she is grounded, she always smashes things. We have gotten used
to it, but being too angry is bad for her health. You''d better persuade her."
Hobart smiled and said with understanding, "Alright, I''ll go in and have a look. You can leave now."
After the maid left, Hobart opened the door. Maryanne yelled without looking back, "You''re so
annoying! I said that you''re not allowed to disturb me before the dessert is ready!"
"It''s me." Hobart said ndly.
"Hobart!" As soon as Maryanne heard Hobart''s voice, she immediately smiled happily.
She got up from bed, pulled Hobart''s sleeve and asked, "How''s it? Is she here?"
Hobart shook his head.
Maryanne said with angry eyes, "Didn''t you say that she would definitelye today?"
Hobart sighed and thought of Patrick''s gloomy face, "She can''t even go out."
"Liar!" Maryanne did not believe what he said, "Obviously, she hates me for humiliating her at the
banquet. So she must be very happy when she knows that I''m grounded."
Hobart joked, "You think so because you''re narrowminded. She''s not like you. She might have
forgotten about this a long time ago."
"Hobart! Tell me, what should I do now?" Maryanne said in frustration. Was she really going to stay
at home for four months?
Originally, Hobart wanted to invite Amelia to his home and let Maryanne apologize to her in front of
his parents. His parents would definitely forgive Maryanne because of her sincerity. Unfortunately,
Patrick didn''t allow Amelia to go out.
"You have to bear the consequences yourself. Continue to stay at home." Hobart said.
"Hobart!" Maryanne punched the bed sadly, "I haven''t seen Patrick for so long. I''m worried that... he
will be seduced by other women!"
Hobart put on a cold face, "Don''t mention and see him anymore. Just regard him as someone
you''ve never met in your life!"
Maryanne felt wronged, "Why?"
"Because I am your elder brother! I know your strength well. Patrick is a man you can never
control."
In the past, Hobart wanted to pair Maryanne off with Patrick indeed. But Maryanne had offended
Patrick''s most beloved woman, so Patrick might want to take avenge on Maryanne in his heart.
It would be better if Maryanne couldn''t go to find Patrick. If she still pestered him, Patrick would
definitely give her a lesson.
In the evening, in the Land of Fragrance.
"Patrick, are you still on your way?"
Cynthia''s soft voice was mixed with the shouts of the audience on TV. Patrick thought that the
sound of the TV was too noisy, so he simply picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
Seeing this, Amelia, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, slightly raised her eyebrows. After
he put down the remote control, she quickly took it over and turned on the TV again.
"Cynthia, I..." When Patrick heard the noise again, he red at Amelia unhappily.
Amelia blinked at him innocently.
"In order not to disturb you, I have already turned off the sound. Why are you still staring at me like
this? Can''t you let me see the TV series quietly?" Amelia thought in her heart.
"Patrick?"
Hearing Cynthia''s voice, Patrick replied, "I don''t have time today. I''ll go to see you in a few days."
Cynthia asked with some disappointment, "You seem to be very busy recently."
Patrick looked at Amelia again uncontrobly. When he saw her holding her face and smiling at an
actor on TV, he was annoyed. How could Amelia be so obsessed with handsome men?
As Patrick didn''t reply for a while, Cynthia''s faint voice came from the phone again, "Did I disturb
you?"
"No..." Patrick tried his best to concentrate on his conversation with Cynthia, "What does the
attending doctor say about your health condition?"
"He said that my stitches couldn''t be taken out until half a monthter. By the way, the nurse maid
you hire cooks a lot of nutritious food for me every day. I''m putting on a lot of weight!"
Her voice became happier and happier. Obviously, she was satisfied because of Patrick''s concern
for her.
Patrick nodded and said in a gentle voice, "It doesn''t matter if you be fat..."
The next second, Amelia turned the volume up. Patrick turned his face and said angrily in a low
voice, "Amelia! Turn down the volume!"
Amelia shut her ears and turned up the volume continuously. Patrick had to hold his mobile phone
and walk away.
Out of the corner of her eye, she nced at his angry back and put down the remote control with no
expression.
She really did not want to hear Patrickfort Cynthia.
Because his tone was so spoiled and gentle that she had no mood to watch TV anymore.
Patrick, who had walked to a quiet ce, was no longer interested in talking to Cynthia. Just as he
was about to find an excuse to hang up the phone, Cynthia cried. He asked in a deep voice,
"What''s wrong with you?"
Cynthia asked sadly, "You can''te to see me because of Amelia?"
"Don''t think too much."
Cynthia said excitedly, "But I heard you call her name!"

Patrick''s eyes gradually turned cold. He didn''t like being questioned by women. Even if it was
Cynthia who had saved his life, as long as he didn''t love her, she was not qualified.
"Have a good rest. Goodbye." He hung up the phone quickly.
After Patrick hung up, Cynthia buried her head and burst into tears.
She felt so sad! She almost sacrificed herself to protect him, but he still didn''t love her.
Every time Patrick came to see her, apart from sympathy and guilt, she could not see any other
emotions in his eyes. Perhaps even himself did not notice that the person he mentioned the most
often was Amelia...
When Cynthia was crying, a young nurse quietly walked into her ward. Seeing Cynthia crying so
sadly, the young nurse was shocked and asked if her wound hurt.
Cynthia shook her head and asked in a hoarse voice, "It''s time for me to eat medicine again?"
"No. There''s a madam who wants to see you."
"Who?" "She said that her surname is Watson."
Cynthia immediately wiped her tears and said excitedly, "Let her in quickly."
After a while, a graceful woman walked into Cynthia''s ward. Probably the room was not ventted
well, Eve covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and she felt so disgusted.
