Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 133

In the guest room.

Amelia dipped the ointment with a cotton swab and gently applied it to Patrick's swollen skin. She looked up at him and thought he would say something. Unexpectedly, he was silent.

Unconsciously, Amelia forgot what he had said to her in the car and asked, "Grandpa seems to be very strict with you."

Patrick's heart sank as he said, "He's always like this."

Amelia analyzed, "Is there any misunderstanding between you and grandpa?"

Patrick said with a poker face, "No."

Amelia said without caring about his feeling, "You're lying. Obviously, today you're abnormal all day."

Feeling agitated, Patrick shook off her hand, which was applying ointment to him, and said impatiently, "Go out, don't bother me!"

Amelia knew that she said something that she shouldn't say, so she smiled apologetically and said, "Well, I won't ask anymore. Let me continue to apply the ointment..."

Patrick refused her and repeated coldly, "I said, get out!"

Amelia's hand, which was holding a cotton swab, fell on her knees. She said dejectedly, "Patrick, am I not qualified to care about you?"

Patrick didn't say anything.

His silence was the best answer. Amelia pushed the first-aid kit to his feet and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Okay, I see."

How stupid she was! She knew that the one he loved was someone else, but she tried to get close to him and even wanted to replace that woman.

Amelia felt sad and upset again...

Their relationship had just become better, but Patrick's indifference made it worse again.

At noon, Patrick came out of his room. He would not quit eating even though he was beaten by Grandpa Hopper. Only when he was full could he have the strength to fight with those who looked down upon him.

Although Patrick and Amelia came to visit them, Grandpa Hopper did not prepare a sumptuous meal forthem.

Grandpa Hopper was born in a poor family. When he was young, he suffered a severe famine. Therefore, he was very economical person.

Granny Hopper pampered Patrick, so she kept picking up food for him. Patrick smiled and said, "Grandma, treat yourself."

When Granny Hopper saw that Amelia did not have a good appetite, she picked up dishes for Amelia immediately and said, "Amelia, help yourself. Make yourself at home."

"Thank you, grandma!" Amelia took a bite. The peanut was sweet, but she felt that it was bitter because she was sad.

During the meal, Patrick and Amelia didn't look at each other. Only Granny Hopper was chattering.

After dinner, Amelia begun to clean the table and wash dishes. Granny Hopper came to her and asked softly, "Are you scared by grandpa today?"

There was too much foam in her hand and the plate slipped into the sink. Amelia hurriedly took out the plate and said, "Well, a little bit."

Granny Hopper appreciated Amelia's honesty. She told Amelia the truth, "This is the way they get along with each other. They are not like a grandpa and grandson, but enemies. Compared with Patrick, Owen grew up with your grandpa. He trained Owen into an outstanding person little by little. Over time, your grandpa wanted Patrick to become the same person as Owen, so their relationship worsened."
