Chapter 368


    After Jocelyn left, Amelia still remained in the same position. Jocelyn''s daughter... was her best


    friend, Jessica?


    On the other side.


    "Mom-" Patrick, who caught up with Eve, blocked her way, and asked hastily, "Mom, where are you


    going?"


    Eve looked back at him with unfocused eyes and said hysterically, "I hurt your father. Did you see


    that?


    I hurt him!"


    "Mom, calm down!" Patrick grabbed Eve''s shoulders and told her gently, "Dad is just injured in the


    hand. It won''t endanger his life. Don''t me yourself too much."


    Eve fell into Patrick''s arms, staring at her bloodstained fingers attentively. It was Howard''s blood.


    Howard shed his blood for Jocelyn.


    At the thought of that, Eve was ignited with hatred. "You are right. I don''t have to me myself.


    These are all your father''s fault! The fact that he''s willing to do such a thing for that Jocelyn showed


    that he has lost himself. Patrick, we must find a way to bring your father back on track!"


    Patrick frowned. "Mom, what do you want to do?"


    Eve said, gritting her teeth, "Of course, I want to kick that woman out of your dad''s life! By fair


    means or foul!"


    ording to Eve''s personality, she was absolutely possibly going to kill Jocelyn. Patrick thought


    about it for a few seconds before he spoke, "Don''t be impulsive. I''ll handle it."


    Because of Howard''s drama, Granny Hopper stated that she had a headache. As a result, Amelia


    had to help her upstairs to have a rest.


    When she walked down the stairs, she found Patrick and Howard confronting each other. Amelia


    could not help slowing down her speed for fear of disturbing them.


    With coldness in his eyes, Patrick said, "I don''t care how far you and that Jocelyn have gone. But


    you have to stop meeting her from today on. Can you do that?"


    Howard was confused at that. "Patrick, are you lecturing me?"


    Patrick looked directly into Howard''s eyes and analyzed his current situation. "Dad, from the


    moment you and Mom got married, your families, businesses, and destinies were all tied together.


    That is also one of the reasons why Grandma is so angry. I thought you are old enough to


    understand that."


    Howard said slowly, "I don''t want to argue with you. My conscience is clear."


    Patrick said seriously, "Then stop contacting Jocelyn, just like what you have done to Sissi and me."


    Howard''s heart sank. "Does it feel good to get revenge against me now? You me me for not


    supporting you and Sissi, don''t you?"


    Patrick threw him a cold nce. "We both know that. Why do you have to say it out loud to hurt our


    feelings."


    Patrick let out a bitterugh. Over the years, Patrick had grown closer to Eve while distancing


    himself from Howard for certain reasons.


    After Sissi''s scandal became public, Patrick still stuck to what he wanted. Therefore, Eve took it


    upon herself to ask Howard''s father for help.


    When Patrick found out that, Eve had put all the me on Howard to avoid being disliked by her


    son. Howard understood her feelings as a mother and didn''t go out of his way to exin it to


    Patrick, only to find himself now being treated like that.


    "Patrick, I can''t change your mind, but please don''t trouble Jocelyn. She is the most innocent


    among this!"


    "But what about Mom? Isn''t she innocent?"


    Standing at the stairs, Amelia listened quietly to their conversation, not knowing which side to


    choose.


    If Howard had indeed cheated on Eve, even if it was not physical, Amelia couldpletely


    understand Patrick''s feelings. In fact, she even empathized with Patrick.


    But considering Eve''s nature and behavior, Amelia was unable to sympathize with her...


    Downstairs—


    "What I will do totally depends on your attitude toward Jocelyn. That''s all I want to say. You can go


    back. Mom needs you to take care of her."


    "Patrick, you..." It was the first time Howard had directly realized that his son had outgrown his


    control.


    Howard looked at Patrick, not knowing whether he should be pleased or upset. Then he left Land of


    Fragrance frustratedly.


    After Howard disappeared at the door, Patrick looked away from it and turned his sharp gaze


    precisely at Amelia, who was upstairs. "Did you hear all of that?"


    Amelia was tingled by the coldness in his eyes. Although she knew that he was not against her,


    Amelia was still startled. "Yeah."


    "Come down."


    "Oh." With that, she went downstairs and came up to him.


    Seeing that Amelia was one meter away from him, Patrick curled his lips in a self-deprecating way,


    "Why are you so far away? You are afraid that I''ll eat you alive?"


    Amelia coughed awkwardly. From his conversation with Howard, it was not difficult to tell that he


    was more than capable of that. "Patrick, I think we should look into this matter. Besides, ording


    to Howard''s character, if he did it, he would definitely admit it. Since he says Dr. nd and he are


    just doctor and patient, why don''t we trust him?"


    Patrick stared at her and said unhappily, "Trust him? And give him the chance to keep in touch with


    Jocelyn so that he can cheat on my mother whenever he wants? Amelia, you just can''t stand my


    mother being happy, can you?"


    Bombarded, Amelia waved her hands and said, "You misunderstood. That''s not what I meant."


    Patrick looked away from her aggrieved face and said, "That''s enough. It''s about my mother. I don''t


    expect you to pay attention to it. I just hope you don''t make things difficult for me."


    Huh, so she was too eager to help and got cold-shouldered.


    It was a lie to say that she was not angry, but now she had more important things to ask, so she


    didn''t argue with Patrick about that. "Then... how do you want to deal with it?"


    Cruelty appeared in Patrick''s eyes. "What do you think about killing her?"


    Chill ran down Amelia''s spine. Coming up with an excuse to leave Patrick alone, she hurried to call


    Jessica.


    "Hey, Amelia?"

    "Jessica, I''ve known you for so long, but I''ve never heard you mention your family. Are you avable


    now? Can you tell me about it?"


    Jessica asked in confusion, "Amelia, why are you suddenly getting interested in my family?"


    Amelia didn''t give in. "Just tell me, please."


    "All right then. When I was a freshman in university, my dad died of cancer, so it was just my


    grandfather, my mother, and me. My grandfather has worked for a state-owned enterprise for so


    many years, so after he retired, he got a nice house in the city. Noticing that my mother was living


    alone, he asked her to live with him the year before."
