Chapter 242
The beaten nurse spoke incoherently, "I''m sorry, I, I didn''t know he was your fiance. We didn''t do
anything..."
Witnessing this unexpected scene, Daniel stopped Brittany as she continued her madness, "Calm
down! She''s the nurse who came to do rounds!"
"Nurse? A nurse who wears high heels and makeup to work? I thought she was going to do ''rehab
exercises'' with her patients!"
After Brittany finished scolding the nurse, she turned back to jealously taunting Daniel, "You really
aren''t picky, even with a woman like that?"
Daniel looked at Brittany with a headache.
The nurse wept again and again, but she dared not to say anything even she was angry.
Before Amelia and Patrick reached the door, they heard Brittany''s shrill voice, and Amelia frowned
angrily, "Brittany, you''re deliberately trying to make a lot of noise in Dad''s hospital room, aren''t you?"
At first, Brittany was shocked to hear Amelia''s voice, but then she thought that as long as Daniel
didn''t tell the truth about her father''s fainting, and she didn''t, and the maids didn''t, Amelia would
never know the truth.
Then again, Daniel had already paid the family maids to help cover up the truth, the lie was made
up by Daniel first, he wouldn''t have told the truth to expose himself, so she shouldn''t be afraid of
Amelia anymore!
With that in mind, Brittany reverted to her initial arrogance, "Sis, I thought you were so filial, but it
turns out you still have to rely on us to guard Dad? Where have you been all morning, and you are
now pretending to care about Dad... Ah, Patrick is here?"
By the time Brittany saw Patrick standing behind Amelia, it was apparently toote to take back the
vicious words she just said to Amelia.
Patrick smiled helplessly at Brittany''s embarrassment and said, "Am I aste as your sister?"
"Ugh!" Brittany feigned, "Of course not, I was just ying a little joke on my sister."
Patrick raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "Now that your dad is sick, instead of feeling sad,
you''re in the mood for jokes?"
Brittany didn''t know how to answer, she certainly wasn''t eloquent enough to debate with Patrick,
and as for arguing with him she didn''t dare either, she could only grumble secretly in her heart while
smiling awkwardly on her face.
Ameliaughed quietly, knowing full well that Patrick''s eloquence was simply too much for Brittany
to resist.
She felt relieved at the sight of Brittany being subdued.
"Now that you''re here, I''m going to take Brittany home, she has to go back to school tomorrow."
After that, Daniel gave Brittany a wink, and Brittany reluctantly followed him away.
When they disappeared in the doorway, the nurse stared at Amelia and Patrick with freshly cried
eyes and said gratefully, "Thank you for helping me out!"
Amelia winked mischievously, "Remember to stay away from this person when you see her in the
future, she''s crazy as a zombie. If she bites you, you''ll get a virus."
The nurse was amused, and her miserable tone became cheerful, "Well, I''ll remember."
Outside the door, Brittany hadn''t gone far. She vaguely heard Amelia call her a zombie, and couldn''t
help to go back and settled the score with Amelia!
Daniel snapped, "Aren''t you embarrassed enough?"
Brittany angrily said to Daniel, "Didn''t you hear her call me a zombie? Are you a man or not? Your
own fiancee is being bullied, and you don''t even have a reaction?"
Daniel was afraid that her voice would attract Patrick''s attention, so he dragged her to a quiet ce
and said seriously, "You''re not little anymore, there''s a limit to your unreasonable behavior besides
me, your father and your mother, not everyone has to spoil you, I just helped you settle your father''s
affairs and now you''reining that I''m not gentle and considerate enough?"
Brittan''s angry face suddenly stiffened and she was convinced by him so she had nothing to say.

Daniel tried to speak as calmly as possible, "Let''s not get into a temper tantrum, okay? Your dad
had a stroke, and now I''m handling all the issues of thepany, and I still have toe to the
hospital on time after work to see your dad and keep you and Mompany. Sometimes I really
feel like I can''t keep busy like this."
Feeling Daniel''s fatigue, which made Brittany feel overwhelmed. She nibbled on her lower lip then
said, "It''s my ignorance that has gotten you into so much trouble, and I just got mad at you for no
reason, so don''t be mad at me."
"I''m not angry." Daniel smiled slightly and said gently, "I''m just worried about you, you''re too
innocent to just get irritated and get violent, it''s easy to get taken advantage of that way."
Brittany blurted out, "I’ll change it!"
Daniel stroked Brittany''s hair and smiled dotingly, "I don''t expect you to change it right away either.
Studying is your first priority now. Come on, I''ll take you home. You have to catch the airport in the
morning."
In the ward.
Amelia was scrubbing George''s body with the nurse''s approval, during which she looked and
moved gently because she was afraid of hurting him.
Patrick felt despondent when he saw how patient and hardworking she was.
He understood what Amelia was feeling at the moment, that helpless feeling of loss only beginning
to be cherished.
Ram-a-dub—
Hearing the knock on the door, Patrick stood up and said to her, "I''m going to open the door."
Amelia attendant gently nodded and continued to work.
When Patrick opened the door, was surprised and asked, "Dad, Mom? It''s sote. Why are you
here?"
And they dressed so formally as if they were going to attend an important banquet.
In fact, Patrick was half right. Tonight, The Hopper Family couple attended a jewelry auction. Before
returning home, Howard saw Eve seemed to be in a good mood, so he came up with the idea of
visiting George.
Eve used Howard''srge sum of money to buy her favorite jewelry. It was not a good idea to refuse
her husband''s proposal, so she agreed toe over reluctantly.
To be honest, Eve now even felt upset at the sight of the people in The Ramsay Family. She even
secretlyined that Howard was too stubborn to protect Patrick''s marriage just for a little help
from George in the younger days.
Eve used to be slightly jealous of the strength of The Ramsay Family''s wealth, but now she felt that
The Ramsay Family was about to copse! Daniel was an inexperienced young man and would
never be able to manage The Ramsay Family''s business.
While Eve was thinking, Howard had approached the room seriously and said with concern to
Amelia who was surprised, "We came over to visit your dad."
