Her words were the opposite of her downcast expression, and Milton said angrily, "And you say you didn't? Is he treating you badly! I'm driving back to teach him a lesson!"
"Milton! Don't be like this!" Amelia was worried that he was serious, so she held his hand on the steering wheel and said, "He didn't do anything bad to me. I just want to have some time alone."
Milton glared at her, "How dare you speak up for him in this situation? Can't you be a little bit more ambitious!"
Amelia heard the horn call of the car behind her and said faintly to Milton, "The green lights are on. Just put me at the intersection where there are fewer people."
Milton asked in a rather self-deprecating tone, "You mean, I don't need to care about you anymore, don't you?"
Amelia hurriedly denied, "No! I don't know where I am going. Staying with you will only waste your time."
Milton's tone became gentle and he stared at Amelia with deep emotion, "Amelia, If one day, you can think less about others and more for yourself, maybe... you're not so tired of living."
Amelia sniffed her nose, turned her eyes away, and said in a muffled voice, "Maybe you are right, but I'm not easy now, do you know?"
Milton turned around and nodded as he started the engine. "I know!"
She was caught in a love dilemma, and when Patrick did not give her a clear response and kept thinking about his ex-girlfriend, the only one who suffered the most was definitely herself!
But Milton was also suffering...
He had waited for Amelia for years, from when she was a girl to when she became a real woman, and he had tried to bless her relationship with Daniel, but even after she and Daniel broke up, he couldn't make his wish come true!
Milton didn't believe in fate, but sometimes destiny would play a trick on him, which made him feel powerless.
Behind Milton's car was suddenly a fast obsolete small car, compared to his multi- million dollar sports car, which could be easily squashed like a small can.
There were a few times when he almost caught up Milton's car, but the sliding of the tires on the left front made him lose his sense of direction again and again. Seeing that Milton's car carrying Amelia was about to disappear when it turned a corner, Patrick was in a hurry to step on the gas pedal, and the whole car accelerated rapidly!
Bang!
After a violent crash, the pedestrians passing around, vehicles on the people stopped to cast a frightened look at him, they all looked at the car that hit the tree, found that the whole front of it dented, the car was smoking, the engine should be broken ...
Many people were talking about whether the unlucky owner of the car was still alive or not, but the unlucky owner of the car was now cursing in a low voice with a gloomy face!
At the critical moment, the car actually did not work, just a little bit, just a little bit he would be able to catch up...
However, the truth was that the tires slipped, which made Patrick lose control and hit the tree. Fortunately, the airbag automatically popped out to protect him, so he was fine.
Amelia, who knew nothing about the matter, heard the collision behind her and subconsciously turned around. She saw that an old car had hit a tree. The license plate looked very strange, so she turned her face back.
"What happened?" Milton was driving, asked casually.
Amelia said calmly, "Someone is in a car accident."
Being stared at by Granny Hopper's kind eyes, Amelia wanted to cry. "Granny, it's my fault, when I saw you stop the thief, I should have advised you to stop, the bag was stolen, but the money can be earned again, I only have you as a grandmother, see you were pushed into the operating room, I feel very bad..."
"That's enough, my darling. I'm fine," Granny Hopper reached out and patted Amelia's face, "I was too impulsive and thought I could help you snatch back your bag. In the end, I was pushed. If you hadn't supported me with your hands, I might have died!"
Amelia said anxiously, "Granny, you won't die! Pah!"
Seeing that Amelia was about to cry, Granny Hopper quickly comforted her, "Okay, I'm sorry! Don't count what I said before, is that okay?"
Amelia responded affirmatively, "Yes!" Then smiled and said, "You will be healthy!"
After chatting for a while, Granny Hopper accidentally said, "By the way, last night Eve said that you didn't want to see me, and Patrick said that you had something to do at home, so he let you go back first. I knew that Eve was talking nonsense again!"
Amelia asked, "Did Patrick really say that to you?"
"Yes, my words are not true." Granny Hopper glanced at the complex look on Amelia's face and jokingly asked, "Sweetheart, don't tell me that Eve was telling the truth?"
"No!" Amelia denied. She left in advance because she was simply provoked by Eve and Patrick. She thought that Patrick would criticize her in front of Granny Hopper, but she didn't expect that he would speak up for her...
She was originally hurt by Patrick's words, but she started to get soft again. Amelia didn't want to appear so ungrateful, but there was no way out, Patrick always had a way to make her forgive him.
After saying goodbye to Granny Hopper, Amelia took an elevator to the Department of Orthopedics. Her right hand was almost recovered, but she was sent to the warehouse to move goods this morning, and her elbow hurt again.
