"Don't mention him to me!" Eve grunted in exasperation, "He doesn't value our family in his heart right now! Patrick, let me tell you something..."
Not wanting to listen to her babble, Patrick reassured her for a few moments before saying, "Mom, I have things to do, we'll talk another time."
"Both of you have something to do, and you all just ignore me!" Eve said with resentment.
Patrick explained patiently, "Mom, it's about Nana's hospitalization. I need to get in touch with Dad first."
Eve was stunned for a few seconds and asked, "Why is your grandma in the hospital? Is it serious?"
He didn't know if it was Patrick's illusion, but he felt Eve's question was a little gloating. He glanced at Amelia, who was in her seat. He just said, "She's safe."
"Oh..." Eve's voice was slightly disappointed. "Well, I haven't seen you for many days. I can take this opportunity to go to the hospital to visit her and see you by the way."
By the time Patrick called, Amelia's right hand was in so much pain that she was clutching it tightly.
She looked at Patrick's indifferent back and then at the operating room with the red light still on, Amelia gritted her teeth, got up, and took the elevator alone to the orthopedic floor.
When Patrick put down his phone and turned around, he found that Amelia had disappeared. He thought that she went to the restroom, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
But more than 20 minutes later, Amelia still didn't come back, and Patrick became more and more irritable. He couldn't believe that she sneaked under his eyes!
Just as he was thinking about how to punish Amelia when he saw her, Eve had already come up to him. "Patrick."
"Mom? You're here."
Seeing that he was not in a good state, Eve couldn't help but touch his hand with concern and asked, "What's wrong? You look like you are out of your mind? How can you bear such a big thing alone? Where's Amelia?"
Although Patrick sometimes dissatisfied with Amelia, he didn't want to expose it in front of Eve. "There is something need to deal with at home. I'll let her go back first."
However, Amelia who should have "go home" appeared in front of them. Looking at Eve's strange eyes, she slightly widened her eyes and shouted, "Eve!"
"Didn't you go home?" Eve asked with her eyes narrowed.
"I..." Amelia was confused and said, "I just went downstairs to exercise for a while. I didn't say I wanted to go home."
Eve understood immediately when she heard this. Patrick lied to her! Amelia was obviously in the hospital, but he said that she was going home. What was his intention?
Huh... Patrick was afraid that she would make things difficult for Amelia. Eve understood.
She took a look at Amelia, who was not particularly gorgeous, and her ability was only enough to be a business executive. As for her family's financial strength, which was now worse than that of the Hopper Family. Eve didn't understand why Patrick liked Amelia so much.
While Eve was despising Amelia in her heart, Patrick reprimanded Amelia, "What are you doing downstairs? Have you forgotten who is the reason for my grandmother to become like this? You're in the mood to wander around downstairs instead of keeping a good watch here!"
Amelia peeked at her right hand, which the orthopedic surgeon had just diagnosed, and said it was a sprained tendon and that she should take more rest. She was hesitating to tell Patrick the truth when she heard Eve exclaim, "What! Patrick, you said Granny Hopper was hospitalized because of her?"
