Chapter 339


    "Don''t mention him to me!" Eve grunted in exasperation, "He doesn''t value our family in his heart


    right now! Patrick, let me tell you something..."


    Not wanting to listen to her babble, Patrick reassured her for a few moments before saying, "Mom, I


    have things to do, we''ll talk another time."


    "Both of you have something to do, and you all just ignore me!" Eve said with resentment.


    Patrick exined patiently, "Mom, it''s about Nana''s hospitalization. I need to get in touch with Dad


    first."


    Eve was stunned for a few seconds and asked, "Why is your grandma in the hospital? Is it


    serious?"


    He didn''t know if it was Patrick''s illusion, but he felt Eve''s question was a little gloating. He nced


    at Amelia, who was in her seat. He just said, "She''s safe."


    "Oh..." Eve''s voice was slightly disappointed. "Well, I haven''t seen you for many days. I can take


    this opportunity to go to the hospital to visit her and see you by the way."


    By the time Patrick called, Amelia''s right hand was in so much pain that she was clutching it tightly.


    She looked at Patrick''s indifferent back and then at the operating room with the red light still on,


    Amelia gritted her teeth, got up, and took the elevator alone to the orthopedic floor.


    When Patrick put down his phone and turned around, he found that Amelia had disappeared. He


    thought that she went to the restroom, so he didn''t pay much attention to her.


    But more than 20 minutester, Amelia still didn''te back, and Patrick became more and more


    irritable. He couldn''t believe that she sneaked under his eyes!


    Just as he was thinking about how to punish Amelia when he saw her, Eve had alreadye up to


    him. "Patrick."


    "Mom? You''re here."


    Seeing that he was not in a good state, Eve couldn''t help but touch his hand with concern and


    asked, "What''s wrong? You look like you are out of your mind? How can you bear such a big thing


    alone? Where''s Amelia?"


    Although Patrick sometimes dissatisfied with Amelia, he didn''t want to expose it in front of Eve.


    "There is something need to deal with at home. I''ll let her go back first."


    However, Amelia who should have "go home" appeared in front of them. Looking at Eve''s strange


    eyes, she slightly widened her eyes and shouted, "Eve!"


    "Didn''t you go home?" Eve asked with her eyes narrowed.


    "I..." Amelia was confused and said, "I just went downstairs to exercise for a while. I didn''t say I


    wanted to go home."


    Eve understood immediately when she heard this. Patrick lied to her! Amelia was obviously in the


    hospital, but he said that she was going home. What was his intention?


    Huh... Patrick was afraid that she would make things difficult for Amelia. Eve understood.


    She took a look at Amelia, who was not particrly gorgeous, and her ability was only enough to be


    a business executive. As for her family''s financial strength, which was now worse than that of the


    Hopper Family. Eve didn''t understand why Patrick liked Amelia so much.


    While Eve was despising Amelia in her heart, Patrick reprimanded Amelia, "What are you doing


    downstairs? Have you forgotten who is the reason for my grandmother to be like this? You''re


    in the mood to wander around downstairs instead of keeping a good watch here!"


    Amelia peeked at her right hand, which the orthopedic surgeon had just diagnosed, and said it was


    a sprained tendon and that she should take more rest. She was hesitating to tell Patrick the truth


    when she heard Eve exim, "What! Patrick, you said Granny Hopper was hospitalized because of


    her?"


    At the sight of Amelia''s face turning pale, Patrick said, "Mom, this..."


    Before he could finish his sentence, Amelia said frankly, "Granny got into trouble because she


    wanted to help me get my handbag back."


    She thought about it, instead of asking Patrick to exin to her, it would be better if she just


    admitted it herself!


    Patrick red at her. Amelia was in such a hurry to expose her because she did not believe that he


    would speak up for her, didn''t she?


    Then Eve reached down and touched her ear and said suggestively, "I have said that bad things


    always happen to the people who are with her. Patrick, you and your dad didn''t believe it before, but


    you should believe it now, right?"


    Patrick was pissed off by Amelia''s distrust for him, and he happened to hear Eve''s words. He


    answered impulsively, "Indeed."


    With a heartbroken, Amelia said, "In that case, I''ll stay away from you guys."


    As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left.


    "Amelia, don''t you dare to leave?"


    Taking a deep breath, Amelia lowered her head and continued to move forward. She walked fast


    and didn''t slow her steps until she got rid of Patrick''s angry voice.


    Looking at the vast sky outside the hospital, she suddenly felt homesick...


    She thought of the room when she lived in the Ramsay Family... that soft bed... the warm quilt and


    her mother''s arms with the fragrance of the shower.


    It was really cold in Northville. Amelia folded her knee-high coat, rubbed her red nose, and took a


    taxi.


    On the way, she borrowed the phone from the driver and called "911" to the police. After leaving her


    name and family number, she returned the phone, leaned back in the chair, and fell into endless


    loneliness.


    Seeing Amelia leaving so resolutely, Patrick was furious. No one dared to be so rude to him before.


    At this time, the door of the operating room was opened again. A nurse was smiling and told them


    that they could go in and see the patient.


    However, Patrick''s mind was full of the idea of punishing Amelia. He didn''t even notice the nurse


    talking to him.


    Finally, Eve raised her voice and said, "Patrick! Granny Hopper was awake. We can go in! Did you


    hearthat?"


    Patrick came to his sense and said, "I got it."


    Granny Hopper was lying quietly in the operating room. When she saw that Patrick and Eve were


    walking together, she first looked around the room, then asked with her lips trembling, "Where is


    Amelia?"


    Patrick put one hand on the operating table, leaned over, and whispered in Granny Hopper''s ear,


    "She has something to do at home. I''ve let her go back first."


    And Eve said coldly, "What''s the matter at home? It''s clear that she doesn''t care whether you live or


    die. You were still in the operating room and haven''te out yet, but she actually left!"

    "Impossible..." Granny Hopper, who had just finished the operation, retorted weakly. She still


    remembered that if it hadn''t been for Amelia, she would have been hit on the head and bleeding!
