Chapter 600


    When Patrick saw a slender figure walking towards the door, he could not help grabbing her wrist.


    Then he asked with his charming gaze. "Where are you going? Are you in a rush that you even


    forget to wear your shoes?"


    Sissi raised her face when she heard Patrick''s voice. He noticed her curly eyshes were stained


    with tears which made his heart ache.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Patrick grabbed her hand even tighter and asked with great concern, "Are


    you feeling ufortable?"


    She kept shaking her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes sadly.


    After a while, she managed to talk and asked, "Why do you do this?"


    Patrick frowned "What have I done?"


    Sissi pointed at him casually. First, she felt distressed. Then she med him. "Why do you rescue


    me? It doesn''t matter if I freeze to death. However, you have a family. If anything happens to you,


    how can I exin it to them?"


    Patrick pursed his lips and said, "You don''t need to exin to them. I volunteered to save you."


    "But I don''t need it!" Sissi shouted at the top of her voice. "I don''t need you to sacrifice yourself for


    me! I''m willing to freeze to death in the mountains and I don''t want to die together with you!"


    The secretary who stayed at the door thought inwardly, "Such a pretentious woman!"

    However, when Patrick listened to Sissi''s words, he would feel very touched!


    After this narrow escape, Patrick could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye to Sissi.


    He picked her up. Then he put her back on the bed and said repeatedly, "I''m willing to sacrifice


    myself as long as the person I''m saving is you."


    The secretary was so angry at the door that she almost burst.


    Tears welled up in Sissi''s eyes when she heard Patrick''s confession. She said regretfully, "It''s too


    late..."


    His hands which were about to wipe her tears froze in the air. Both of them knew what that meant.


    Patrick left quietly after Sissi fell asleep being tired from crying.


    The secretary who was leaning against the wall kept yawning. She shouted as soon as she saw


    Patrick came out, "Mr. Hopper." He nced at the secretary. Even though Patrick''s face was getting


    slimmer, there was still a terrifying domineering aura in his body. "How long have I been asleep?"


    The secretary calcted roughly. "It''s been five days."


    Patrick observed the structure of the hospital and said with certainty, "This is not Timothy Vige."


    The secretary nodded. "The treatment conditions in the vige are limited, so I made my own


    decision to send Ms. Roberts and sir to a nearby city. I hope Mr. Hopper will not me me."


    Patrick curled his lips and looked softly at Sissi lying in the ward. "Why should I me you? Maybe


    both of us are already dead without your prompt decision."


    "Mr. Hopper, please allow me to say something. You almost froze to death. As for Ms. Roberts, she


    won''t die no matter what happens to her. She is like a cat with nine lives."


    "What do you mean?"


    The secretary said half-jokingly, "Once in the library, once in the mountains and once in the pit.


    Teacher Sissi had been in mishaps for three times and she could solve the crisis easily. What else


    would she be if she''s not a cat with nine lives?"


    The secretary was kind enough to say that Sissi was a cat. She wanted to make a bet that Sissi


    was actually a real cunning vixen!


    Patrick frowned, "Mind your words, she''s my teacher!"


    The secretary was stunned and burst intoughter as if she had heard a joke." Sissi is your


    teacher? Mr. Hopper, you seem to be kidding me!"


    However, she did notugh for a long time before she stopped. This was because Patrick''s


    expression looked very serious.


    "Mr. Hopper, is she really your teacher?"


    "Yes."


    "When did she be your teacher?"


    "Third year in high school."


    Patrick treated his secretary as a shoulder to cry on, he recalled, "She''s even my first love."


    The secretary stood rooted at the spot.


    She suddenly understood why Patrick would rather take the risk of being frozen to death to hold


    Sissi tightly in his arms.


    If it were not for the fact that the secretary knew Amelia first, she would have pitied their reunion.


    After the secretary forced herself to focus on her moral value, she said, "Mr. Hopper, Madam


    Ramsay has been in contact with me during the time when you were unconscious..."


    "Did you tell her?" Patrick''s voice turned cold.


    The secretary replied with a flicker in her eyes, "No!"


    Patrick stared into her eyes and said, "Remember that you''re my secretary not Amelia''s. You have


    to know what things you should say and shouldn''t!"


    A chill crept down to the secretary''s backbone. She forced a smile and said, "I know! It''s just that...


    I''ve helped you not to report to Madam Ramsay for many days. Shouldn''t you call her to tell her that


    you''re safe?"


    Patrick subconsciously fumbled his pockets only to find that he was in a hospital gown. He looked


    up at the secretary and asked, "Where''s my mobile phone?"


    "Well, when we found you, your mobile phone was no longer with you."


    Patrick''s eyes flickered and he suddenly recalled, "I lost it during the journey."


    The secretary quickly handed over her mobile phone with both hands and asked, "Do you need to


    use my phone to call?"


    However, Patrick was not in a hurry to take it.


    Instead, he pushed the secretary''s hand away and said lightly, "Let''s talk about itter. I''m sleepy."


    The secretary could only remain speechless.


    At Apex Construction Corporation.


    After Amelia and Jonathan paid condolences to the victims who had been killed, they returned to


    thepany to hold a board meeting.


    During the meeting, many directors opposed Amelia''s decision to return two billion dor to the


    bank.


    In their opinions, Apex Construction Corporation could use the two billion dor on other projects.


    Then, the discussion topic swifted to Amelia''s inability to do business.


    "Of course, I''m not as good as everyone here when ites to business." Amelia smiled.


    The directors who had been on Daniel''s side suddenly felt embarrassed. This was because the way


    Amelia talked sounded like she was ridiculing them for their greediness.


    Kaleb with a serious look on his face said, "President Ramsay, we have one year to pay the loan.


    Why don''t we let thepany to use the loan to earn back some money during this period of time?"


    Amelia looked at Jonathan with a confused look. Jonathan sensed that she needed help, so he took


    the initiative to talk with Kaleb, "Then what if the two billion dors wasn''t used properly? It''s useless


    if we get small projects, and nobody wants to work with us for big projects as well. You can''t really


    make profit from the two billion dor. Instead of keeping the money in thepany to gain interest,


    we better return it!"
