[I'll agree to all of your requests in the future!]
Amelia was so excited that she had exaggerated her words.
After he listened to her words, Patrick's eyes became brighter than before, but Amelia was too happy about him awake that she had missed the shrewdness in his eyes.
Amelia continued to say, "Patrick, for the sake of your fast recovery, I've looked at the cookbook again this morning. I will definitely bring you a lot of delicious food tomorrow."
At the moment, the doctor reminded, "Ms. Ramsay, it's about time."
Amelia nodded and said, "I have only one last sentence!"
She said, "Patrick, thank you, so much!"
Patrick moved his fingers and seemed like he was going to remove the oxygen mask. Amelia quickly fixed his hand and said, "No! You are still weak now. We can talk again after you recover."
Patrick looked helpless and mouthed an 'anything you say'. Then he hooked his finger onto Amelia's little finger.
Amelia was not disgusted by his action at all. Instead, she felt warm and touched in her heart. She wanted to stay and took care of him until he could get up and move around.
The doctor said, "Ms. Ramsay, it's time."
Amelia reluctantly shrunk her little finger from Patrick's hand and whispered while staring at him who had appeared to be getting tired, "Bye for now. Have a good rest. I'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow..." He mouthed the words.
Patrick felt deeply reluctant to part with her while looking at her. Illness would always cause a person to be fragile, and he was no exception.
After Amelia came out of the ICU, she immediately thanked the doctor. "Doctor, thank you to have actually persuaded the director to let me in."
Since Eve had informed the hospital in advance to forbid Amelia and anyone related to her from visiting Patrick in the ICU, the director had refused Amelia's request in the beginning.
But, after the doctor's unremitting persuasion and considering Amelia's contribution to the treatment back in the emergency room, the director had finally decided reluctantly to turn a blind eye. He allowed Amelia to enter the ICU and would erase her visiting record.
The doctor showed a faint smile and said, "You're welcome. Your appearance seems to be most effective in helping Mr. Patrick in recovery, that's why I've tried my best in supporting you."
Amelia felt embarrassed and said, "The most effective? That's too exaggerated..."
The doctor smiled and added, "Mr. Patrick could possibly be transferred to the general ward in these few days. By then, he'll have to keep it light in terms of food, but you can still prepare some herbal soup for him which would be good in healing his waist injury."
"Okay!" Amelia kept his suggestions in mind.
Meanwhile, Connor was sending Eve and Kayla to the mayor's house after leaving the hospital...
Eve said, "Kayla, you've worked hard today in helping me dealing with Patrick's matter."
"Aunt Eve, don't mention it. I'm working under Patrick now. How could I ignore his incident that was so severe?"
"You're really thoughtful. Patrick would be blessed if he could marry you after his discharge from the hospital."
Kayla smiled shyly and replied, "Aunt Eve!"
At the moment, the radio in the car started broadcasting about Amelia as a popular figure in Northville recently.
Kayla's face suddenly became stiff because the host happened to talk about the lawsuit between Mr. Quade and Amelia!
The host was a professional one. He had described the situation in an extremely nervous and exciting manner from the start, which made the audience want to turn up the volume to listen to the origin of the complex story.
"Connor, turn up the volume!" Eve ordered.
Connor quickly did as ordered while Kayla who sat aside became restless.
At the beginning, Mr. Quade was completely at advantage which made Eve continue to sneer and felt happy secretly.
However, when the full video tape was being mentioned, Eve began to look distressed. She thought that it must be resulted by Patrick who had handed over the briefcase to Amelia.
In the end, Eve could not believe what she had heard. She immediately looked at Kayla beside her and said in a trembling voice, "Kayla, you actually went to testify for Amelia?!"
Under great pressure, Kayla said softly, "Aunt Eve, I can explain... In fact, Patrick had ordered Amelia to ask me for help that day which I could hardly reject. Patrick was already injured so seriously yet he still thought of helping her. If I don't agree, he will definitely blow me off later."
Eve was initially furious, but Kayla's words had made sense.
Her heart ached when she thought of her failure in stopping Amelia after all her hard work and had almost killed her own son. Amelia had even made a big reversal in the end by winning the lawsuit and resulting the plaintiff to be punished.
Kayla said cautiously, "Aunt Eve, you may vent your anger at me. Don't hold it in your heart and torture yourself with it."
Eve sighed helplessly and said plaintively, "It's not your fault! The b*tch is just lucky!"
Kayla responded politely with an "oh" and turned around to gently pat her chest.
At the mayor's house.
Before getting out of the car, Kayla said politely, "Thank you for sending me back, Aunt Eve. Feel free to call me if you need me to help to look after Patrick tomorrow."
Ben was speechless.
The next morning.
At Peace Hospital.
Amelia was alone outside the ICU. Since Patrick was still sleeping and the doctor who had previously helped her was absent, she could forget about the idea of visiting him inside. She could only stand still and gazed at him.
Until she felt a sense of soreness through her legs, she began to move around while a group of medical staff suddenly entered the ICU in a hurry. They were busy looking at the instrument, making records with their heads low, and examining Patrick's body. It took them a long time before they came out.
Amelia stopped one of the doctors and inquired, "Excuse me doctor, how is he right now?"
"Mr. Patrick is fine, except for his lack of brain supply which would lead to anoxia."
Amelia breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "What about his waist?"
"His waist surgery was very successful. Given Mr.
Patrick's physical quality, he will soon be able to get out of bed and walk."
Amelia was so happy. Then she found that Patrick had already woken up after the series of check-up.
He gazed at her with a smile, raised his arm and gestured her to get in.
After Amelia saw it, she could not help but asked, "Doctor, can I go in?"
The doctor asked warily, "May I have your name?"
As she thought about Eve's ban, Amelia thought on her feet and said, "I'm Kayla!"
The doctor looked through the records in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, come with me."
After Amelia wrapped herself tightly like how she did previously, she appeared at Patrick's bedside with a smile and said, "Good morning, I've come to see you again!"
Under the oxygen mask, Patrick curled his thin lips and gestured Amelia to lower her head, which she followed.
Patrick touched her face with his hand and gently pinched it with a concentrated gaze.
"Ouch!" Amelia deliberately made an exaggerated cry and said, "What are you doing? Are you jealous that I can stand properly, that you decided to take revenge on me?"
