Chapter 591


    Amelia considered that Howard was getting old so she did not want to tell him that Patrick was


    trapped in the mountain.

    When Howard heard that Patrick was on a business trip, he immediately said unhappily, "You''re in


    such a difficult situation. Why is he still outstation? Wait, I will call him toe back!"


    Amelia said immediately, "No, dad! The signal in the mountainous area is not good, so he didn''t


    receive my phone call and messages! Please don''t me him!"


    When Howard hear this, his attention was no no longer focus on Patrick. Instead, he continued to


    care about Apex Construction Corporation''s problem. "Since Patrick is not here, I will help you!"


    He did not ask whether she needed help, but directly offered her help!


    Amelia felt touch "Dad, I..."


    It was not difficult for her to open her mouth to say ''okay''. However when she was about to say it,


    she could not voice it out.


    While Amelia was caught in a dilemma, Howard said decisively, "I have made up my mind. You just


    have to ept it. The Hopper Family''s daughter-inw will not be wronged!"


    "Dad..."


    "Amelia, don''t refuse it. When Roxxon encountered financial problem, your family helped me


    without hesitation. It was because of this reason that I regarded you as my daughter-inw


    candidate and let you stayed in thepany for me to observe for years."


    "You''re not making up a story in order to make me feel better, right?"


    Howard smiled and said, "Do you think I am the kind of person who likes to tell lies to little girl?"


    Amelia hesitated for a while and asked, "But... I think that the money has already been returned to


    Apex Construction Corporation right?"


    If her father-inw had returned her family''s money, how could she ask money from him?


    Howard tactfully said, "It''s true that I''ve paid your family back the money. However, I haven''t been


    able to find a chance to return the favor. Can you give me this opportunity to return the favor


    today?"


    His words helped to maintain Amelia''s self-esteem and moved her very much. "Dad, I really don''t


    know how to show my gratitude."


    This almost acquiesced to Howard''s help. Howard could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. What


    he was most worried about was Amelia''s stubbornness that she always borne everything herself.


    "You don''t have to be courteous with me. How about this. Come home after work and I will issue


    you the check."


    Amelia sighed secretly but she was in a dilemma now. If she refused Howard''s help, she would


    slowly get destroyed together with herpany.


    Well, she could owe her father-inw money and favors first. When Apex Construction Corporation


    became sessful again, she would pay everything back together. A slight smile appeared on


    Amelia''s gentle face, as if she was relieved from a heavy burden. "Thank you, dad."


    After that, she asked Howard about his health condition. When knowing that he was in pink of


    health, she then bade farewell with him.


    As soon as Amelia put down her mobile phone, she received another phone call. She had no time


    to rx. She looked down at the caller ID and she was stunned for two seconds. She was really


    surprised!


    Amelia could not wait to press the answer button. She excitedly said to the caller, "Hello, Ms.


    secretary, it''s me!"


    "Madam Ramsay! We have found Mr. Hopper and saved him!"


    When Amelia heard the word ''save'', she had a bad feeling from the bottom of her heart. Her lips


    trembled slightly and she asked, "Can you tell me what happened to him?"


    The secretary swallowed hard and said, "Madam Ramsay, don''t let anyone know that I tell you


    about this."


    Panic shed across Amelia''s beautiful eyes. She suppressed the urge and answered as calmly as


    she could, "I promise you that I will not tell anyone!"


    Then did the secretary say, "When we found Mr. Hopper, Sissi and him fell into a pit. Fortunately, it


    stopped snowing here since yesterday. Otherwise, both of them would have been buried under the


    snow. When we went to rescue them, we found out that Mr. Hopper took off the clothes on his upper


    body and covered on Sissi in order to keep her warm. He even held her tightly in his arms and


    warmed her up with his body temperature... As a result, Mr. Hopper himself..."


    Amelia''s face was very pale. "How is he!"


    The secretary sighed and said, "Mr. Hopper is unconscious now... Think about it, he didn''t eat and


    drink for nearly two days. It''s cold outside yet he still had to protect a weak woman. Even a healthy


    body couldn''t survive this cold!"


    Amelia''s heart ached. She sobbed and asked, "Didn''t a doctor go up the mountain with him as


    well?"


    The secretary exined, "The doctor said that facilities in the mountain are simple and crude. So


    it''s not convenient to carry out the best treatment. He just hastily did first aid on Mr. Hopper and


    Sissi, then he asked someone to carry them down the mountain with stretchers. Our helicopter is


    waiting at the foot of the mountain. We will fly to the nearest city for medical treatment soon..."


    Amelia was stunned and asked, "Did Sissi follow as well?"


    The secretary was honest with Amelia. "Yes, although she woke up after the doctor''s treatment, she


    was still very weak. We were afraid that something bad would happen to her, so we sent her down


    the mountain with us as well."


    Amelia''s mood at this moment was beyond words. What should she say? Patrick and Sissi were a


    pair of miserable lovers and they even had to live and die together?


    Patrick was her husband and he was unconscious due to the cold. However, she was so helpless


    that she had to wait for someone to pass on the message to her...


    "Madam Ramsay?"


    When the secretary noticed that Amelia did not say anything for a while, she could not help but feel


    a little anxious. "I know that you are very worried about Mr. Hopper now. I promise you that Mr.


    Hopper wille back to you safely!"


    Amelia forced a smile and said, "Didn''t you say that you would send Patrick and Sissi to the nearest


    city for medical treatment? Go ahead. Just update me the news at any time."


    "Okay." The secretary repeatedly emphasized, "Madam Ramsay, I told you these things secretly


    because I felt sorry for you. Please don''t make things difficult for me..."


    "Alright," Amelia said softly, suppressing the bitterness in her heart and quietly digesting it. "I won''t


    mention anything to anyone else." Especially Patrick.


    Just a few phone calls and she actually used up a normal employee''s breaktime.


    Knock, knock, knock...


    At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door.


    Amelia quickly put all the important documents on the desk into the drawer. Then sheid on the


    desk pretending to be asleep.


    It was quiet outside for a while before the door was opened into a tiny crack. Ryker''s eyes peeped


    through of the door crack.


    When Ryker saw Amelia lying on the table and was not making any sound, he did not hesitate to


    open the door and came in.


    He held the information that Amelia wanted in his hands. However, the info of the old customers


    and business partners seemed to be ''invisible''.


    Not only that. There were instead added with many difficult business partners that Apex


    Construction Corporation trying to curry favor with recently.
