Patrick left in the middle of the night... He went away alone.
Amelia glared at Huxton, who had trapped her in the house, and said angrily, "Aren't you loyal to your master? Why didn't you stop him when he was about to risk his life?"
Huxton replied calmly, "Sir's capable. He'll definitely return safely. Just wait patiently, madam."
Amelia said gloomily, "No matter how capable he is, he is alone after all."
The next day, at night.
Amelia was waiting anxiously in front of the TV. When she saw the reports about the village, she immediately put the remote control down and listened to the reporter's report.
"Dear audience and friends, what you are seeing now is the image taken from an aerial view. You can see that a large area of landslide collapsed on the main road leading into Timothy Village. Now, the local government is organizing a group of authorities to conduct investigative work. Since the area of the collapse is too wide and it's snowing, repairing would be difficult... Not to mention that the village is surrounded by mountains and trees, it is also inconvenient for the helicopter to land in the village. This has also caused the rescue to be much more difficult."
With the reporter's narration and recording from high ground. Everything was a mess behind the reporter, people wearing construction hats were busy walking around with various tools on their backs.
Right at this moment, Amelia noticed a tall man who was wearing a safety helmet who had his back facing the camera. Almost subconsciously, she blurted out, "Patrick!"
As if sensing something, the man with his back to the camera suddenly turned and showed his face. No matter how dirty his face was, his eyes were still as tenacious as before.
The reporters misunderstood Patrick's extraordinary outlook. They thought he was a leader of the town but when they pass him the microphone, they found out that he was the president of Roxxon Corporation. Because he received the news that his staff was trapped in the village, so he came over by helicopter and brought along his company's workforce and supplies.
Just when Amelia was staring at the TV, Dr. Scarlett's voice came with concern. "Please take
your medicine first."
"Thank you." After Amelia took the bowl over, she was still starring at Patrick with concern. It was until when the interview was over and the camera moved away from Patrick that she move her eyes from the TV and drank the medicine.
Dr. Scarlett saw her drinking to her heart's content, she could not help but asked curiously, "Aren't you not used to this smell?"
"I promised him that I would take good care of my body." Amelia wiped her mouth and said.
Dr. Scarlett sat down beside her and said with a smile, "It turned out to be the power of love."
At this time, the landline beside Amelia rang. Amelia thought it was Patrick, so she immediately picked up the phone and said excitedly, "Hello!"
As soon as she picked it up, she heard a vicious voice. "Amelia, how can you let Patrick go to such a dangerous place?"
Amelia was stunned. "Mom?"
Eve said fiercely on the other side, "Don't call me mom, I don't have such a malicious daughter-in-law like you!"
Amelia went blank and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
Eve said aggressively, "Don't pretend to be innocent!
Did you instigate Patrick to go to Timothy Village?"
Amelia said innocently. "No, I didn't."
Eve said, "You didn't? Patrick had lived a luxurious life since young. He had never suffered any pain. If I hadn't seen the news on TV, I wouldn't have known that he went to such a dangerous and dirty place!"
"Didn't you hear from the news? Roxxon's staff is trapped in Timothy Village and one of them is Patrick's chief secretary! He is worried about his subordinates. What's wrong with him going over there?"
"What's wrong?" Eve flew into a rage. "It's not a place that he should go! What if Patrick accidentally slipped and fell down? What if the weather gets colder and made him sick? Have you ever thought about that? Huh!"
