Chapter 603


    After a long period of silence, Patrick replied with an inaudible "Yes".


    Upon receiving his approval, Amelia''s smiled so brightly that her eyes were like the tip of a crescent


    moon.


    The next second, there were calls from Patrick''s side. The calling of his name ''Patrick'' could be


    clearly heard. Upon hearing this, Amelia''s face turned gloomy.


    "Amelia..."


    Noticing that Patrick wanted to say goodbye to her, Amelia whispered, "It seems that someone is


    calling you. Go ahead."


    "Okay," he said.


    Then he hung up the phone.


    Amelia''s finger which was holding the mobile phone trembled slightly. "Patrick, this is thest time


    that I would confess to you..."


    In a foreign city, after Patrick hung up the phone, he was not at ease. Instead, he was lost in his


    thought.


    Was he thinking too much? He felt that Amelia was acting a little weird.


    In his memory, she was not a sentimental person and she did not like to say those sweet words.


    But on the phone, she asked him to sing and read poems. This really confused him.


    "Patrick."


    The sweet female voice sounded behind him. He collected his thoughts quickly and turned to look


    at the speaker.


    When he saw that it was Sissi, Patrick''s tensed lips lifted naturally. He changed his position to face


    her and greeted her in a calm andposed manner. "Did you have a nightmare again?"


    "No." Sissi was a few years older than him but when she stood in front of him, her eyes were full of


    shyness like a little girl.


    "Why are you in a panic?" Seeing that her hair was falling down from her cheek, Patrick reflexively


    raised his hand and tried to put them behind her ear.


    Right at this moment, the love poem Amelia read shed through his mind. He clenched his fists


    and did not touch Sissi.

    Sissi did not notice his forbearance at this moment. She said with embarrassment, "When I woke


    up, I didn''t see you around. I thought you were discharged from the hospital. So I hurried to see if


    you are still here."


    Patrick raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you afraid that I would run away?"


    Sissi pretended to be resentful and said, "Yes, I am the one you hate the most. Even if you left me


    behind, it will be my own fault."


    Patrick red at her with a deep gaze and thought, "If only I could really abandon her..."


    Seeing that he did not answer, Sissi changed the subject. "By the way, who were you talking to just


    now? Let me guess, was it your wife?"


    Patrick nodded his head slightly.


    Sissi bit her lip guiltily. "Did I appear at the wrong time? If I had known earlier, I would havee


    overter. You haven''t contacted each other for so many days. There must be a lot of things to say


    to each other."


    At the end of her words, she turned around and wanted to leave.


    "It doesn''t matter." Patrick''s far-reaching and understanding voice stopped her in time. "We''ve


    finished talking."


    Sissi turned around slowly, she did not ask what were they talking about but she simply gave an


    invitation and said, "Shall we go out for some fresh air?"


    Patrick looked down and asked, "Is your leg okay?"


    Sissi replied briskly, "It was fully healed a long time ago."


    Patrick said, "Let''s go then."


    Shortly after they left the ward, the secretary rushed in.


    Seeing that no one was in the room, the secretary was so anxious that she stamped her feet.


    "Where is Mr. Hopper? Madam Ramsay is in trouble!"


    It was not until the lunch break that Patrick reappeared in the corridor. His figure was like a god


    when he walked against the light.


    When he got close, she could see a hint of imperceptible tenderness on his cold face.


    The secretary had only seen this tenderness twice. One was when he was with Amelia, and the


    other was with Sissi, who looked very rxed at Patrick''s side.


    While keeping her cool, the secretary straightened up from the bench. She met Patrick''s calm eyes


    and called out, "Mr. Hopper."


    Seeing that the secretary looked serious, he thought that she was worried because he did not


    inform her before going for a walk. So he took the initiative to say, "I just went to have a walk with


    Ms. Roberts."


    After saying that, he took out the secretary''s cell phone from his pocket and gave it back to her.


    The secretary put away the phone and said, "Mr. Hopper, I have something urgent to report to you.


    Do you have time?"


    "Yes, I do." Honestly speaking, the thing Patrick had most right now was time.


    "Well..." The secretary looked at Sissi calmly.


    Sissi smiled understanding^ as she looked at Patrick and whispered, "Patrick, I''m a little tired. I''ll go


    back to my room and have a rest. You can talk to your secretary."


    Patrick said worriedly, "I''ll send you back."


    "Send me back?" Sissi blinked her eyes. Their ward was only separated by a wall, the distance


    between these two wards was nothing.


    Patrick did not say anything more. He bent down and picked Sissi up.


    As she gasped, he restrained his gaze and looked at her in rebuke. He said with his thin lips, "I


    know your foot hurts, don''t try to lie to me."


    Sissi said in a low voice, "How do you know?"


    Patrick said, "When you walk, you kept looking down at your feet from time to time."


    The truth was Patrick had really observed her carefully.


    Sissi looked back at him with mixed feelings and said bitterly, "I really don''t deserve your care."


    However Patrick then said, "I''d like to."


    After sending Sissi back to her ward, Patrick waved his hand and called the nurse.


    When the nurse came with a blushing face, he ordered in a cold voice, "The patient''s foot is hurting.


    Ask the attending doctor to help with it now."


    The nurse answered with stammering. "Okay."


    After all this, Patrick cast his eyes on the secretary and said, "Go ahead. What do you want to tell


    me?"


    This was the first time the secretary had experienced what it meant to lose all her patience. It was


    something she had never experienced before!


    She said hurriedly, "Something bad happened to the Apex Construction Corporation!"


    At first, Patrick did not show any reaction.


    The secretary reminded, "It is the family enterprise of Madam Ramsay."


    Patrick''szy expression froze. "What happened?"


    Seeing that his mood had finally changed, the secretary let out a sigh of relief. At the same time,


    she quickly exined what happened to the project


    Daniel was working on.


    At the end of her words, Patrick said coldly, "That''s what he deserves!"


    "Although Daniel deserves to be punished, Madam Ramsay is innocent. Now all the debts and


    negative news of the Apex Construction Corporation are on Madam Ramsay alone. I''m afraid that


    she will be very tired while trying to handle all these alone," the secretary said.


    "That woman..." Patrick''s eyes looked far-reaching. He recalled Amelia''s phone call not long ago


    and all the strange requests she made.


    Thinking about it in this way, was her abnormality all rted to the Apex Construction Corporation?


    "When did this happen?" Patrick asked slowly.
