Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1223

Amelia's pupils dilated in astonishment. It was at the same time when she turned around, she blurted out, "Patrick, you're here, aren't you?"

What she got in reply was dead silence.

However, Amelia knew very well that the ringtone belonged to Patrick.

She raised her voice as she continued, "Patrick, I've heard your phone ringing and I can recognize your ringtone! I know that you're still here! Since you're still here, can you show up so that we can have a word?"

It was still a dead silence in return.

Amelia cried out anxiously, "Are you still a man? Only cowards dare not to meet his own ex-wife!"

In the next second, she saw Patrick coming from the back of a wall. With a cigarette in between his lips, his expression darkened as he walked over to her.

"You...you're still around!" Amelia's eyes began to well up emotionally.

She had no idea why she would react to his

presence in this way. All she knew was the moment she saw Patrick, a sudden rush of blood made her head feel like spinning. The heat on her cheek rendered her and she nearly lost her mind.

Apparently, Patrick was not in mood to talk to her. He yelled, "Why can't I be around? You're not the owner of the hospital, are you?"

Amelia was not triggered by his rudeness. She tried to calm him down, "Patrick, can we not talk in such manner?”

While smoking, Patrick said arrogantly, "I always talk like this. If you're not used to it, then why are you still asking me for a talk?"

Amelia took a glance at the warning sign at his back before lowering her voice as she reminded him, "Smoking is not allowed here."

Not only smoking was harmful to health, she could not overlook the impact of it towards her child that she was carrying.

"What did you say? I can't smoke here?" With that said, he challenged her words by taking another puff of his cigarette.

The puff of smoke came right into Amelia's face. She frowned as she covered her nose and mouth right away.

At that very moment, she saw Patrick gloating

from the disguise of smoke in the air.

All in a sudden, Amelia was uncertain of how she should react to him. Apparently, she knew that the man in front of her was trying to vent his anger on her through smoking!

Amelia waved her hand in the air in attempt to get rid of the smoke around. Before Patrick could take another puff, Amelia snatched away the cigarette between his lips before she turned around and threw it into the rubbish bin.

Patrick did not startle for long. Awhile later, he snorted provocatively as he took out his box of cigarette and lighter from his pocket.

Amelia's expression darkened. She cried out, "Why the h*ll do you want to keep smoking? Can't you at least pay attention to what I'm going to say?!"

"I didn't come here to listen to what you wanted to say." Patrick waved the cigarette box in the air before he continued idly, "This thing, is the reason I'm here."

Amelia bit her lower lips in anxiousness before she finally brought herself to say, "Since you're in a hurry, I'm not going to keep you any longer. Let me cut this short, I would like to apologize to you as it was a misunderstanding earlier."

Patrick was about to light up his cigarette. Upon hearing her, he could not help but bring his action

into a halt.

He was sulking after having a terrible fight with her. That was why he came here to smoke. He was planning to leave after he calmed his anger down.

He had never expected to see Amelia coming out from Shawn's ward dejectedly. From a distance, he saw her stopping by at this place with an absent mind.

Patrick held back the urge to kidnap her right away since he did not want to attract any more unnecessary attention. Instead, he decided to back off and leave her with the space she needed.

He hid himself behind the wall and began to observe her secretly. Amelia remained absentminded for some time before she took out her phone and called him right away. Who knew, the next moment caught him by surprise!

With such a close distance between them, there was no way that he could switch off his phone in time before it rang.

Patrick thought that in the worst case scenario, the both of them were just going to have another fight here. But he thought that things could not get any worse than this, so he decided to show himself up. Again, he was taken aback by surprise to have Amelia apologized to him..

Even so, Patrick could not forget the fact that she had chosen to believe Kaiden at that very moment while all that culprit did was to cast discord among the two of them.

Amelia glanced at him doubtfully as she asked, "If you're speaking of the truth, can you explain to me why would Mr. Quentin's bandage be in a state of mess?"

Kaiden blurted out in frustration, "I accidentally grasped on them when I struggled to get rid of him from trying to hold me down."

Amelia held her waist with both hands as she scoffed, "Are you kidding me? Mr. Quentin is severely injured. How do you want me to believe that he could hold you down? Besides, you're not immobile. You have every chance to run free from someone who's lying on the bed.."

"Gosh! How am I going to convince you that I'm innocent?"

With one of his hand held on his forehead in frustration, Kaiden swept a glance at Shawn before he called out impatiently, "Didn't you claim that you're an honorable man? Tell her the truth now. Tell her who was the losing one in the brawl we had just now."

Shawn glanced at Amelia with a righteous expression as he said, "Ms. Ramsay, it was Kaiden who raised his fist at me first."

Amelia questioned Kaiden coldly as she heard

Shawn's words, "Kaiden! What else do you have to

say now?"

Kaiden had just framed Patrick into something which he had not done dishonestly earlier. If Shawn did not tell Amelia the truth, she would probably still be unaware of what had actually happened. Hence, it was needless to say who was a more trustworthy candidate to Amelia at this moment.

Upon receiving the cold stare from Amelia, Kaiden pointed a finger at Shawn as he stammered guiltily, "I admit I was the one who raised my fist first. But, I dare you to tell her now what had happened next! Why don't you tell her how you hit me back?"

"There's needless to say anything. Everyone can tell the truth from their own eyes." Shawn lowered his gaze and stared at the wrinkled bandage on his chest. Everyone in their right mind would be convinced that he was an involuntary victim in this brawl.

Kaiden could feel his jaw dropping. All of a sudden, the entire scene between him and Shawn made him felt a familiar feeling in his chest. It was like a deja vu.

The door of the ward slammed shut.

Kaiden was driven by an urge to cry in frustration after he had been chased out by Amelia from the

ward.

At this moment, he had learnt from his own experience that karma was a b*tch. Whatever he did to others would somehow come back at him.
