Patrick opened the door and entered the room. He looked sharply at the old man on the bed with his eyes filled with helplessness. "Gramps, when are you going to leave the hospital?"
Gramps Hopper sat in a coquettish manner. "I've just settled down!"
Patrick said sarcastically, "You stayed here just for Amelia. What's the point? She didn't even come in to see you just now."
Gramps Hopper replied confidently, "That's because she didn't see me living here. If she saw it..."
"She saw it." Patrick interrupted, "She passed by your door carrying a lunch box just now."
Gramps Hopper choked with anger. "Real... really? Then did she not plan to come in and see me?"
Gramps Hopper had even especially inquired the address of George's hospitalization just to come over and live beside him!
Patrick sat on an empty seat and said, "Do you think she will still be fooled by the same trick?"
Gramps Hopper's eyes widened in anger, "But it's true that my blood pressure is high this time, all because of you!"
Patrick insinuated coldly, "You can just stay in the private hospital I arranged for you then. Why are you going through so much trouble to come here?"
"I just wanted to." He lived here, so Amelia could meet the Hopper Family members who had come to visit him when she was walking around.
In this way, they would naturally have more opportunities to have contact with her and to persuade her. After all, it should be better than giving her calls but being refused by her saying that she was busy with work. Should it not?
Why was this kid so foolish!
After complaining in his heart, Gramps Hopper stopped himself and asked, "By the way, have you found Sissi?"
Patrick shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Gramps Hopper felt suspicious, "Was she really not hidden by you?"
Patrick declared, "I'm not that free."
Gramps Hopper continued to suspect. "Seems that you're not worried about anything happening to her at all."
Patrick curled his lips and said, "If the man who took her away wants to hurt her, he would have done it in the hospital." "If it wasn't you, then who could it be..."
Gramps Hopper remained confused.
At the same time, Amelia absent-mindedly returned to Alice's beside, "Aunt Alice, here's the food."
"Okay." Alice turned around to look at her. "Amelia, what happened? Why are you looking so distressed?"
Amelia hesitated for a moment, waved her hand and called Alice to a place far away from George. Then she said, "Aunt Alice, I saw Patrick's grandfather being hospitalized. He's living... right next to dad's room."
Alice was surprised, "Really? What's wrong with the old master?"
"I don't know."
"Anyway, we should go over to pay him a visit."
Amelia refused weakly, "That should be unnecessary. I think gramps might be faking it. Think about it... How can there be such coincidence in the world? There are hospitals all over Northville. Why did he happen to stay right next to dad's?"
"Are you trying to say that the old master is coming for you?"
"Well, it's possible."
Alice thought for a moment, "Regardless the illness was true or false, since the old master was able to find this place, it's shown that he really wanted to see you."
Amelia frowned in silence.
Alice said in a low voice, "Amelia, listen. The grudge between you and Patrick concerns the two of you only. But if you offend The Hopper Family's elders as well. If... I'm just assuming, if the elder happens to be a vengeful person, you as well as the Apex Construction Corporation will have a hard time in the future."
Amelia bit her lower lips and said, "Aunt Alice, I understand, but..."
Alice was a thoughtful person. Seeing Amelia looking distressed, she could not help but sounded out, "Is it because Patrick was there as well so you feel embarrassed to go in and disturb?"
"Yes." Amelia responded weakly.
"Then why don't we go visit the old master after Patrick had left?" Alice asked with a smile.
But at this moment, there was a crutch being suddenly stretched out from the edge of the door and it tripped her legs.
Amelia almost fell down.
When she turned around, she saw that
Gramps Hopper had already dropped his crutch as he lay on the ground, "Help, help..."
Amelia was speechless.
"Girl, we are so lucky to be able to meet each other in the hospital, it was unexpected."
Amelia, who helped Gramps Hopper to get up from the ground, said bluntly, "Gramps, can you stop pretending?"
"When did I pretend?" Gramps Hopper asked, looking so innocent.
"Since gramps can still talk without your face turning red and without gasping for breath, seems that there's no big problem with your body. So I'll leave."
"Don't leave in such a hurry. Don't you know about caring for empty-nesters?"
Amelia took out her phone and said, "Gramps, who do you prefer to see now? I can call to have that person to come and accompany you."
"Why are you so disrespectful to your elders!?" Did she not sense that he was specially allowing her to stay and to accompany him?
"Yes, yes, I'm disrespectful, please quickly advise your grandson to divorce me."
Gramps Hopper was speechless
The villas on the beach were beautifully designed with elegance. The evening breeze blew across the shore. The air was humid and cooling.
In one of the villas, which used to be empty, there was a showy room decorated in a European style. Under the ancient chandelier inside the room, there was a breathtakingly handsome face being reflected.
At this moment, the owner of the face was gently uncovering the gauze curtains with his hand. He looked down at the woman lying on the bed.
Because of the anesthetic, she slept so soundly like a log that others could have done anything to her at this moment and she would hardly be awake.
