To Shawn's surprise, his plan did not work out because Patrick had appeared.
When he heard what Shawn said, "How can I trouble you any further,", Patrick rushed forward and snatch the lunch box, he then said amicably, "Shawn, let me feed you."
Shawn did not give any reaction as he stared blankly at Patrick.
Patrick took the lunch box and said, "We are all men, you don't have to be embarrassed."
Shawn was speechless as he landed his glance on Amelia. He could not believe that his offer would be gone like that.
Amelia then said coldly, "It's nothing, just give me the lunch box and I'll feed Shawn myself."
Shawn's eyes widen, was he hallucinating? Amelia was actually fighting Patrick just to feed him.
Patrick frowned at Amelia. "Don't you know that there's a difference between a man and a woman?"
"I've clearly heard what Mr. Hopper said at the door just now." Since Patrick have to be mean and say that she was raising them like her pets or playtoys, so why not?
"What did he say?" Kaiden interrupted because he remembered that Amelia was extremely mad when she entered the ward. It was obvious that someone had triggered her.
Amelia shot a glance at him and said coldly, "It's none of your business. Just eat your lunch."
D*mn!
Kaiden's heart shattered. He figured that he got caught in an illusion, he thought that Amelia was finally treating him with care because he had helped her a lot today. Who knew that it would all be shattered with just one sentence?
Kaiden then sat quietly in the corner and ate his lunch.
To be honest, the dishes that Amelia ordered did not suit his appetite. Moreover, he could not stand the smell of plastic boxes. At that moment he was flustered, so he had a hard time eating this meal.
Patrick was very satisfied with Amelia's attitude towards Kaiden. He thought that he would need to act accordingly, but he did not expect that she would give the kid a knockout right away.
But that was not enough.
Patrick turned his dark eyes to Shawn and asked in a friendly tone, "Shawn, you are the patient. Speak for yourself. Who do prefer to feed you?"
"Ms. Ramsay!!!" he thought.
Although Shawn was roaring in his heart, what came out from his mouth was in contrast with his heart. "Then... I'll have to trouble you, Patrick."
The smile on Patrick's face deepened. "Not at all."
Looking at the malicious smile on his face, Amelia could not help persuading Shawn, "Shawn, are you sure?"
Patrick remained smiling but his eyes darkened as he sensed Amelia who was still trying to show her care to Shawn. "Yes, are you sure, who do you choose to feed you?"
"Patrick!" Shawn immediately made his decision when he saw the murderous look in Patrick's eyes.
Amelia bit her lower lips and fell silent.
Shawn saw her narrowing her watery eyes and he could not help but explain, "Miss Ramsay, I didn't mean to disdain you, it's just... ah! Ahem, Ahem, Ahem..."
Before Shawn could finish his sentence, Patrick suddenly scooped up a spoonful of rice and chugged it in his mouth.
"Shawn! Are you all right?"
Considering Shawn's injury, Amelia did not dare to pat him on the back. So she handed him a glass of water instead.
Just as Shawn was about to take it, Patrick secretly glared at him and he immediately withdrew his hand.
Shawn said with a bitter face as he saw the confusion on Amelia's face that was staring at him, "Ms. Ramsay, it's alright, I don't need water..."
Shawn thought for a while as he saw Patrick's grip that had tighten on the lunch box. He then said, "Patrick, Ms. Ramsay, please stop fighting
over who will be feeding me. I can feed myself with
my left hand."
Amelia felt pity and said, "Shawn, you are injured now. You should be more careful."
Patrick opened his mouth and said coldly, "Yes, you're injured on your back. If you accidentally stretched your muscles while eating, someone would feel sorry for you."
Upon hearing this, Amelia's expression froze.
But, this time she chose to remain silent. This would at least ease up Shawn's burden as the middleman.
Patrick longed for her to give up and decided to settle the matter. "Shawn, I'm sorry for being careless just now. Just give me another chance, I'll be careful this time."
Shawn then said sincerely, "Then I should stop talking to prevent causing any trouble."
Patrick was stunned.
"What a good kid..." Amelia looked at Patrick and then at Shawn. She could not help but she kept her thoughts to herself.
After this, nothing had happened.
Just as Amelia relaxed and turned to pour some water, she heard Shawn coughing and gasping for air.
Amelia was stunned and she stopped whatever she was doing. She looked back and found that Shawn had coughed out a mouthful of rice, it was all over his bandage and thigh.
She quickly placed the cup right next to Shawn and intended to feed him some water. It was at this moment when she heard Patrick asking, "Why are you so careless?"
