Chapter 306
Amelia was frozen.
Patrick nced at his wristwatch with no expression. Two minutes had passed. Why did she take
such a long time to talk?
After a while, Amelia asked, "That umbre... did you really give it to me?"
"Well, I just dropped it off. It was a sunny day in Hawoi City, and your man was too busy picking up
other women to worry about you."
Amelia finally understood why he scolded Patrick when she ran into Hobart at the restaurant
because he encountered Patrick teaching Loraine how to swim.
"Hobart, since you were there to deliver an umbre, why don''t you give it to me personally?"
"I just happened to apany a customer that day. Besides, I don''t think you want to see me."
It was a joke, but Hobart made her feel a little sad. Amelia said guiltily, "Thank you, I''ll return the
umbre to you sometimeter."
She was obviously refusing, but Hobart said, "Well, it just so happens that I''m in the hospital
because of Florence, so you cane right over and return the umbre and tan me on the way."
Oh, he was in the hospital...
Amelia was too embarrassed to refuse anymore and said, "Address!"
"Hey? Are youing?"
Amelia feigned ruthlessness and said, "If you don''t tell me, I don''t care if you live or die."
Hobart quickly gave the address and said, "I like cherries, not apples, and besides, I''m allergic to
lilies."
Amelia was about to ask, "Why are you talking about this?" and then realized that this was Hobart''s
"visiting list" for her, in case she made a mistake.
Hobart was actually quite attentive, and she responded, "Okay, I got it."
"By the way, do you need to check in with Patrick when youe to see me?" Hobart''s emphatic
question.
"Of course." What Amelia didn''t say was that Patrick was standing within one step of her.
Hobart thought for a moment and said, "Then you can tell him that his sister is now in the detention
center, and as a rtive, he''d better bail her out as soon as possible, because the weather has
cooled down considerably today.
Amelia said politely, "I will tell him, thank you."
Hobart smiled with an ulterior motive. "You''re wee."
When Amelia hung up the phone, Patrick asked, " Hobart asked you to meet him?"
"Uh... Yes." His fierce eyes made her feel that she was going to be hanged on the gallows.
Patrick asked in an uneptable tone, "You f*cking agree?"
Amelia quickly said, "Do you remember Florence went outst night? She was drunk and ran
around on the road, and Hobart almost bumped into her..."
Under the nervous eyes of Patrick, Amelia exined as soon as possible, "Fortunately, Hobart
avoided her, but he identally hit the wire pole. It''s said that he had a concussion. I think this is
the result of my indulgence in Florence anyway. I also want to take the opportunity to return the
umbre to him..."
After considering the tone of Amelia''s conversation with Hobart, Florence should be safe. Patrick
said, "Hobart was injured because of my sister, and I should be the one to visit him. Doesn''t
Grandma have back pain? You stay at home with my grandma."
Amelia agreed but was a little skeptical that Patrick''s personality would actually visit Hobart. "By the
way, Hobart says Florence is in custody and needs a family member to bail her out, so... you go."
Amelia didn''t know why she stuttered, probably because the man she was ordering was the
president of Roxxon Corporation, her top boss!
Patrick disagreed and said to her, "I''ll go see Hobart and you pick up Maryanne, that''s it!"
Faced with his forcefulness, Amelia blinked innocently, "But Florence needs a family member
whose identity can be released to the public before the detention center will agree to release her..."
Patrick had nothing to say because they were secretly married.
"I''ll be at the hospital as soon as I get Florence, you better not get too involved with Hobart or..."
Even if he didn''t finish his sentence Amelia could feel he''s threatening her.
Amelia said quietly, "You''re overthinking it."
Then, she went back to her room to fetch an umbre.

Patrick stared at the handle of the umbre in her hand, the same one Hobart had given her, and
thought about the fact that it was the first snowfall in Northville and Amelia was using an umbre
given to her by another man, and he wanted to break it!
Not wanting to appear ungentlemanly, he silently turned to the storage room, took out a transparent
umbre, and forcefully shoved it into Amelia''s other hand.
At her incredulous look, Patrick said awkwardly, "Put away Hobart''s umbre. You don''t want to give
it back when it''s wet with snow, do you?"
Amelia smiled with satisfaction, "I actually prefer to use what you gave me rather than use someone
else''s."
After saying that, she bowed her head and passed him by.
For a long time, Patrick felt that his heart was beating very fast...
In the hospital.
Amelia knocked on the hospital room door with a basket of fresh cherries and didn''t push her way in
until the person inside said, "Come in.
The ward was quiet. Apart from Hobart, there was
no one else.
Amelia examined Hobart''s head carefully to make sure that it was asplete as before. She
heaved a sigh of relief.
Before Amelia knocked on the door, Hobart was dealing with thepany''s affairs. Seeing her
come in, he quickly removed theptop from his leg and said, "You''re here. What fruit are you
bringing?"
Was he testing her?
Hobart took one look at the fruit basket and said cheerfully, "Yo, Cherry! thank you, have a seat."
Amelia wanted to yell at him, stop acting surprised!
She put the folded umbre on the nightstand with the fruit basket, then dragged a chair over from
the corner, sat down, and looked at Hobart.
Ten minutes passed.
Hobart couldn''t bear her silence. "Are we just going to sit here and not talk?"
Amelia said calmly, "I''ve said that I''lle and see you."
Just saw, not talking.
Hobart said in frustration, "Okay, I take back what I said when you walked in the door and thank you
for specifically sending me the cherry I wanted, okay?"
Ameliaughed out loud, but she just wanted to make fun of Hobart and didn''t expect him to
apologize seriously.
