After Eve cussed at Amelia, she turned to trouble the doctor. "You're an irresponsible doctor as well! This is the real Kayla, the mayor's daughter. The one you saw just now is an imposter!"
The doctor bowed and said. "Mrs. Hopper, I'm really sorry. I've never seen Miss Kayla in person so I didn't know how she looks like!"
Eve was not convinced, "It's fine that you don't know how Kayla looks like, but haven't you seen Amelia's appearance on TV? Should I give each of you a photo of Amelia so that you won't make such a stupid mistake again?"
Just as the doctor was embarrassed while being scolded, Kayla suddenly whispered from the side, "Aunt Eve, I saw Patrick move just now. He might have woken up."
Eve finally stopped being aggressive. She glanced at the doctor and said, "Talking to an idiot like you is such a waste of time. Take me and Kayla to change our clothes now!"
"Yes..."
As they stood right next to Patrick's bed, Eve found that Patrick was indeed awake. Before she could be happy, she saw Patrick looking at her indifferently, as if she was a stranger.
Which made Eve felt like she was at a loss.
Previously, she could still understand Patrick ignoring her because he was worried about Amelia. But at the moment, things seemed to be much more serious than she had imagined.
Eve rephrased her words and asked in a joking manner. "Patrick, it's Mom. Do you not recognise me?"
Patrick remained cold while looking at her. His distant gaze had made Eve feel guilty.
She squatted down and said half-heartedly, "Son, I didn't mean to hurt you in the accident that day. I was too eager in wanting to stop you from making a fool of yourself in the court. That's why I've asked Connor to overtake you. But I didn't expect... that Connor was so unskillful to have caused the accident to happen! When I saw you being taken out of the car with your head full of blood, I felt like the whole world has fallen apart!"
Was it really an accident?
Patrick's eyes were full of mockery. He did not want to see Eve's hypocritical face any longer, so he closed his eyes.
Eve froze when she saw it and asked in a trembling voice, "Patrick, do you hate me so much?"
Kayla said at the side, "Aunt Eve, I think Patrick is just tired. Since he hasn't recovered from his severe injury, it's better for us to see him next time."
Kayla was giving Eve an excuse which she accepted and said, "You're right, my son must be too tired. It's my fault to have said these heavy words!"
Even though Eve was blaming herself and apologizing to him, Patrick had no means of opening his eyes.
Eve was very sad about it, but she had to pretend to be fine. She was then held out of the ICU by Kayla in a muddled state.
Kayla looked back at Patrick and saw him looking at her as well. He slowly mouthed 'thank you' and then closed his eyes again.
The next day, at the board meeting of the Apex Construction Corporation.
In the face of Amelia getting rid of Mr. Quade's accusation, Kaleb and some other directors were seem miserable.
As Kaleb had been trying his best to instigate the other directors to force Amelia, who might "lost the case", down and to choose a new acting director.
After serious consideration on the true results of the case... it was better not to mention it!
Amelia was orderly planning the projects. She then talked about the advertisement plan for the Apex Construction Corporation. Kaleb felt vexed that he took the mineral water in front of him and poured it in.
His action had attracted the attention of Amelia. "Uncle Kaleb, what do you think?"
"Poof..." Being called in a sudden, Kaleb spat out the water in his mouth in a panic and looked in a mess.
For a moment, the meeting was silent.
Amelia nodded. "It seems that there's no more.
Let's continue with the advertising."
She looked at Kaleb, who seemed to be in a daze and asked in confusion, "Uncle Kaleb, why are you standing still? Are you too excited about the foreign expedition that you've lost control?"
D*mn it!
Kaleb came to his senses and thought that Amelia was obviously trying to transfer him away so as to dissolve his power in the company!
Two days later.
Amelia rushed to the hospital as soon as she got off work. She had even bought a bouquet on the way to celebrate Patrick's transfer to the general ward that morning!
Before she entered the ward, Amelia deliberately hid the bouquet behind her and pretended to be mysterious. "Patrick, guess what I've brought you?"
Patrick, who was leaning on the bed glanced at her and said, "Your butt is not that big, the flowers have been exposed." "Scr*w you!" Amelia grumbled in a delicate voice.
She then took out the red Carnations from behind. "This is for you, I hope that you'll recover soon!" Patrick raised an eyebrow. "Carnations? Isn't it for Mothers?"
"The owner said that it could also be a gift while visiting patients!"
After Amelia had mentioned about it, she noticed Patrick having no intention on taking the bouquet. So, she said disappointedly, "If you don't like it, I can only give it to Aunt Alice."
