Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 387

Meeting Amelia's yielding gaze, Florence froze and was softened for a short while. Then she looked away and said awkwardly, "I don't want to talk to you right now! Leave me alone!"

Amelia sighed. "Well, let's just wait here quietly for news of Eve."

While she was speaking, some heavy footsteps came from the corridor. The three looked over and found Owen and his wife leading Howard and rushing over.

Howard looked haggard. Perhaps it was because he had not had a good rest since he left the Hopper's. His bloodshot eyes told everything.

"Howard..." Among all the people present, Amelia was the only one who greeted him. As for Patrick and Florence, both of them looked like they couldn't bring themselves to call him dad.

Howard stopped in front

of expressionless Patrick, his younger son, grabbed Patrick's hand, and asked, "How is your mother!"

Patrick shook Howard's hand away coldly. "You care about her?"

Howard was infuriated. "Patrick! I know how much you hate me now, but I'm the one who has spent the longest time with your mom! Do you think I don't care about her?"

Patrick's chest rose and fell. He wanted to let out something sarcastic, but finally, he said, "We don't know. She's still in the emergency room."

Howard covered his chest in discomfort. He had been in rather good health these years. But now, his perfectly healthy heart suddenly throbbed violently. He knew clearly whom this was for!

Although he no longer loved Eve, she was still the one who had been with him for so many years. He was not cold enough to be indifferent.

Florence looked at him and said softly, "If you hadn't insisted on abandoning her, she wouldn't have taken the sleeping pills. If anything happens to her, I'm not your daughter anymore!"

Howard felt as if he had been punched in the chest. Within a few days, he was deserted by his family!

"Stop dawdling! Hurry up! Mr. Patrick doesn't have time to waste on people like you!"

All of a sudden, they heard reproach from the corner of the corridor. Two tall men were rudely forcing the shoulders of two women toward them.

Amelia's face changed immediately. The two women pushed were Jocelyn and... Jessica!

"You... you two lunatics, can't you just talk? Stop touching me!" Being shoved back and forth, Jessica was so angry that she pushed the man in front of her!

But the man did not move at all. Instead, he gave her a sharper stare.

Suddenly, he raised his big hand in the air and was about to hit Jessica's face that was even smaller than his palm!

"Ah!"

Hearing the scream of Jessica, Amelia shouted without hesitation, "Stop!"

Being used to orders, the man froze the moment he heard the word.

When he realized that the voice was from a young lazy, the man looked confused. But when he saw Patrick, he automatically assumed the order Amelia made was what Patrick meant, so he lowered his hand obediently.

"Amelia?" Realizing that the slap didn't fall, Jessica let go of her hand from her head and slowly looked at Amelia. "You... Why are you here?"
