Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 388

Still being in a rage, Jessica continued, "Besides, since you knew that I was in a difficult situation, why didn't you ask your husband to let me go during pillow talk!"

It was a headache for Amelia. If any of them here was going crazy under too much pressure, that person would be her!

It should have nothing to do with Amelia, but she dragged herself into this thing for the sake of Jessica. Jessica had one trouble after another, and Amelia had been trying her best to help Jessica with every difficulty, hadn't her?

Now that everyone was blaming her, Amelia wished she could just leave them behind.

"Jessica, I've already told him everything that should be said. I've tried my best to do what I could for you. They say time will tell a true friend from a false one. We've lived together for at least 6 years since college to work, haven't we? Even so... You still can't tell what kind of person I am?"

Jessica bit her lips so hard that they turned red. After a moment, she said, "Amelia... sorry, please don't take it personally. I can't choose my mother after all..."

Amelia said bitterly, "Sorry, my word doesn't count in the Hopper Family. Sorry for not being helpful."

"No..." Jessica waved her hand dispiritedly.

At that time, a doctor walked out from the operating room and said something to Patrick. Amelia couldn't hear it very clearly since she was standing far away. But judging from Patrick's relaxed face, it was easy to tell that the doctor had good news.

Florence always showed her true feelings. After knowing that Eve was fine, she cheered immediately in front of her "enemies". "Great! Have you heard that, Patrick, Owen? Mom is safe!"

"But she's still weak and in a coma." Patrick's interruption stopped Florence from being too happy. Florence turned to glare at the woman to blame.

Receiving her wild hostility, Jocelyn frowned and asked them, "What do you need me to do to remove your resentment?"

Florence glanced at Patrick as if she was in a dilemma. It depended on Patrick.

As a policeman, Owen had a stronger sense of justice than that of ordinary people. Moreover, now that Eve had been out of danger, he didn't want to trouble Jocelyn and her family. Therefore, he chose to keep silent and left it for his younger brother to decide.

Jessica held her breath and widened her eyes in fear of missing any word from Patrick.

Patrick's eyes were dark. "I want you to kneel in front of my mother's bed and pray from today on. You will get up only when she wakes up. After that, leave Northville and never come back!"

Jocelyn was silent, her eyes full of emotion.

"That's too much!" Howard was displeased.

Patrick curled his lips. "Dad, if I call Grandpa right now and tell him that Mom has tried to kill herself by taking sleeping pills because you seemed to be cheating on her, what do you think he'd do?"

Patrick was so angry that he was speechless. The Hopper Family had always been strict with their family members. If Zach found out, would there still be a chance for Jocelyn to live?

Seeing that Howard was silent, Patrick started to push Jocelyn. "If you're not willing to do so, perhaps your daughter or father-in-law could take your place?"

Jocelyn's mouth quivered and the struggle in her eyes looked stronger.

Jessica, who had been trying to make herself invisible, uncharacteristically popped out and pointed at Jocelyn after hearing Patrick's words, "Mr. Patrick, listen to me! She is the one who did all this.

She deserves to kneel and pray for your mother. My grandpa and I would never take her responsibility!"
