The nurse was very unhappy. "Hey, how could you..."
Connor endured the pain and quickly separated Eve from the nurse. "Sorry, I'm sorry, Miss. Madam is just too worried about our young master. Please excuse her!"
The nurse softened her tone and said, "Even so, she should not beat and scold you indiscriminately.
Its wrong.
Yes, yes...
"Why are you agreeing to her? You were no good either. Get out of my way!"
Eve scolded him angrily and then smacked the back of his head hard.
The nurse couldn't bear to see Connor being treated so ruthlessly, the nurse was urged by her a sense of justice. "Madam, if you continue to be violent, I'll have to call the security guards!"
"Go ahead!" Eve thought that it was just another chance for her to vent her anger.
At the moment, Kayla came out from the corner of the corridor. As soon as she saw Eve, she asked, "Aunt Eve, is Patrick still in danger?"
"Kayla!" With excitement, Eve quickly grabbed Kayla's arm and said, "You are finally here! Let me tell you..."
Before Eve could finish her sentence, she saw Amelia, Alice, Jonathan, and Audrey appearing one after another at the corner.
Eve's expression quickly turned cold. She clenched her teeth and asked, "Why are you here?"
As she spoke, she looked at Kayla as to ask if it was her who had brought them over.
Kayla could not help but felt a little nervous when she saw the fierceness in Eve's eyes that she had yet to hide.
She spoke out the excuse she had thought about in advance with a guilty conscience. In the end, she apologized to Eve in a low voice. "Aunt Eve, it's all my fault!"
Eve was convinced by Kayla's words. She held Kayla's hand while glaring at Amelia and the others with hatred. "Kayla, it's not your fault! The others are just ignorant!"
Kayla gave a hollow laugh and said: "Then you should stop being angry. Just like I am, they are just here to visit Patrick anyway. Could you just let them stay?" "No!" Eve refused sternly and expelled them by saying, "Amelia, all of you get lost right now! Who are you to come and see my son as a joke!"
As a mother, Alice stood bravely in front of Amelia. "Eve, we will talk about the things you've done to my daughter later. For now, we have to make sure Mr. Patrick is out of danger before we leave!"
Eve said angrily, "I may talk with you about my matters at any time! But you need not worry about my son. Kayla and I will be here and that's more than enough! Connor, drive them away!"
Seeing that Connor did not make any move, Eve frowned in anger. "Do you want me to punish you as well?!"
Connor sighed deeply and walked to Amelia with heavy steps. He murmured in suffer, "Madam Amelia, I..."
Amelia frowned and asked, "Was it you who drove the car?"
"Yes."
"So you were the one who hit me by order?"
"No!" Noticing Eve's madness from behind, Connor had no choice but to change his words. "Yes."
Amelia said ironically, "Unfortunately, I wasn't killed, but Mr. Patrick was the one in the emergency room right now. Shall you be in regret for the rest of your life?"
Connor's lips squirmed slightly. He wanted to tell Amelia that the hit was actually controlled by Eve.
But, Eve's cold eyes were murderous so he dared not to say it!
Eve then said to Connor coldly, "I've asked you to drive them away, not to catch up with them! Hurry up!"
Amelia suddenly looked at Eve and her eyes became gloomy. "Why should we leave? Is this your private hospital?"
"I agree!" Just as Audrey was about to sound out for Amelia, Jonathan dragged her to the back. She was just an ordinary worker, how could she provoke Eve?
Eve dangerously narrowed her eyes. "This hospital is not run by me, but the person lying inside is my son! As the patient's family member, I have the right to refuse visits from outsiders. If you don't leave now, I'll call the police to arrest you guys for disturbing my son's treatment!"
"It's up to you. I won't leave anyway."
Amelia did not feel threatened. Instead, she sat down on a chair and even asked the rest to sit with her.
"I really can't read your mind. Why did you always help me at critical times when you've usually been so mean to me?"
"You may think it's fun to control other's emotions like a god, or it may be your way of revenge as you want me to never forget you for the rest of my life. But I hope you know that the life I look forward to is a peaceful one, instead of having ups and downs."
As soon as Amelia finished her words, Patrick's firm chest suddenly heaved up and down. The heat coming out from his nose had made the oxygen mask covered with a layer of white fog.
The doctor took a look at the instrument and said to Amelia, "Great job, go on."
Amelia continued to say, "Patrick, what do you think we'll be doing now if we are not divorced? Considering your current situation, let me think about it for you."
"If we are not divorced, you'll prepare dinner for me after work every day. Although your cooking skills have never improved, I like the feeling of you staying by my side, waiting for my orders. Every time, when I see that you fail to even fry an egg, like a dummy, I feel a sense of accomplishment, as there's finally something that you can't do. Sometimes I even hope that you'll never master cooking so I can laugh at you for the rest of my life."
Amelia rubbed her nose as she said in a low and muffled voice, "After dinner, we'll wash the dishes and a busy day will come to an end. We would be living quite a sweet life if we ignored the times we quarrel. I'm always the one who lose every time we bicker. Every once in a while, when I'm at an advantage, you'll definitely come back at me, which would only made me blush."
After a little complaint, Amelia added, "You should be angry as I've always complained about you. Let me say something nice for now, although you have many shortcomings, your merits are outstanding as well. Being with you for such a long time, you're responsible and willing to take risks for your subordinates. You're accountable. Even if I am the wife that your father has forced you to marry, you will still help me whenever I'm in danger. Moreover, you're also... spoony, that you could love a woman for so long which made me feel jealous in the beginning, but despaired in the end..."
The doctor, who had been standing opposite Amelia while operating Patrick's forehead, had a trace of sympathy in his eyes after hearing her words, not knowing whether it was for Amelia or Patrick.
"And Patrick, it's all thanks to you on today's
matter. Do you know the results of the case in court? Nothing happened to me whereas the plaintiff, Mr. Quade was sentenced for three months. He also require to apologize and compensate me after his release from prison. As for you, although you had hurt others on purpose, your action had been praised by all. You're a hero, especially in my heart."
Time has passed and Patrick's forehead was finally wrapped in thick gauze. The doctor in charge of his surgery said, "The surgery went well, and the patient's vital signs were stable..."
Before Amelia could breathe a sigh of relief, the doctor went on to say, "Now we'll go on with the next operation."
Amelia was stunned as if she had been hit hard on the spot. Until the two doctors began to turn over Patrick's body, she suddenly asked, "Doctor! Where else did he got injured other than his head?!"
The doctor replied, "His lumbar vertebra."
[No, I could not move at all.]
Amelia's heart was painful. So that was what it meant when Patrick said to her while he struggled to hold on to her head...
