Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1177

"I heard it. Don't move around!"

When Patrick heard someone knocked on the door, his hands reluctantly fell from Amelia's shoulder all the way to her waist.

He should have let go of her to avoid arousing suspicion. However, he could not help but tighten his grip!

Hearing that, Amelia gasped. "Hey, don't go too far!"

"This position is not even as good as the previous one!" Amelia thought to herself.

But it was too late. The person from outside had opened the door of the escape tunnel.

The lights in the staircase were a little dim. The person who poked his head in paused for a while, then shouted in surprise, "Patrick, Ms. Ramsay, I finally found you guys!"

Even Patrick himself did not realize that he was using his body to protect Amelia carefully at this moment.

And his sharp eyes were fixed on the comer. He asked, "Shawn, why don't you stay with my grandpa? Why are you running around?"

Shawn looked at him innocently, "I didn't run around. It was Gramps Hopper who asked me to come look for you!"

"My grandpa?"

Shawn nodded at him and explained, "Yes, after we boldly woke Gramps Hopper up, he mentioned you. When he knew that you and Ms. Ramsay were both in the hospital, he wants us to find both of you immediately. I was just following his orders."

The coldness around Patrick lessened. "I see. You may go out and wait for us for a moment."

"Okay," Shawn answered. Then he asked the question he wanted to ask at first, "By the way, Patrick, did and Ms. Ramsay just..."

Upon hearing Shawn mentioned herself, Amelia showed half of her beautiful face from Patrick's chest. She opened her red lips and spat out, "We're arguing."

Shawn believed it and said honestly, "Then both of you, please calm down first. I'll wait outside."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Quentin." Amelia smiled at him, looking very lovely.

Shawn's gaze lingered on her smiling face for a moment. Then, he let out a silly laugh and turned around to leave.

The next second, Patrick used his two fingers to clench on Amelia's chin and turned her head around. Later, he asked in an unfriendly tone, "What are you thanking him for?"

Of course, she thanked Shawn for his unconscious appearance that saved her from Patrick.

Amelia then said, "Shawn has come specially to bring us a message. I thank him out of courtesy. Is that too much?"

Patrick frowned and said with incredulity, "Don't smile at him in the future! Do you want to tempt a kid who just reached adulthood?"

"Yes, yes..." On the surface, Amelia pretended to be cooperative. But actually, she did not take it seriously.

Amelia really did not know what Patrick was thinking. She was the most notorious woman in Northville. A young man like Shawn would surely keep a distance from her. He would not be stupid enough to be tempted by her.

Patrick nodded secretly with satisfaction at Amelia's awareness. Then, he naturally took her hand and was ready to go out.

Amelia was scared and asked while being stunned by Patrick's action, "Are you sure...that we could go out hand in hand like this?"

Upon hearing this, Patrick's eyes widened. Then, he abruptly shook off her hand and hurried out.

One really could not quit a habit overnight.

Outside the escape tunnel, Shawn was standing straight like a tree, waiting for Patrick and Amelia.

Someone might think it was a military post instead of a hospital from his posture.

It was self-evident what this meant.

But then...

There were obviously three people who came in, but in the eyes of Gramps Hopper, there seemed to be only one person who came in...

"Amelia, come to gramps' side!"

Upon hearing this, the pride in Xu Wan's eyes suddenly disappeared, and she could not sit still.

"Gramps!" Amelia called sweetly. Then she walked past Patrick and Shawn and quickly walked to the bedside.

Gramps Hopper stretched out his hand and patted the empty seat beside the bed. Amelia took the hint and sat down.

Glancing at Winifred from the corner of her eye, Amelia found that Winifred was sitting opposite her. She smiled faintly as if nothing had happened between them before.

In the blink of an eye, Gramps Hopper had started talking to Amelia as if no one else was present.

The others, including his grandson, who seemed to be dispensable at any time.

"Girl, isn't it weekend today? Why are you so late?"

"Gramps, I'm doing house cleaning today. The day became dark in the blink of an eye."

Gramps Hopper pulled a long face and said, "Humph, little girl, still lying to me? Does the servant of the Ramsay family had ran away or died that you have to do the work on your own?" "Gramps, I really do have my reason." Amelia stuck her tongue out. Her voice was so sweet that all the men in the ward felt their bones turning soft.

On one hand, Gramps Hopper enjoyed her coquetry, on the other hand, he had to pretend, "I think it's because you don't want to accompany an old man like me, so you came here so late! If you see me sleeping, you can just leave, right? I'm not falling into your trap. In the future, I will sleep during the day and wake up at night..."

"Gramps, gramps..." Amelia took the courage to reach out and shake Gramps Hopper's arm. "There're so many people here. Can't you save me some dignity?"
