Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1318

Patrick immediately changed his words. "Well, the bouquet looks quite nice actually. Just put it there."

Amelia finally smiled. "Now we're talking."

Then, she put the bouquet on his bedside.

The red Carnations looked beaming which made the white ward become lively.

He had his gaze fixed on Amelia all the time. After she had done busying around, he said, "Have a seat."

Amelia moved a chair and sat near him. She said softly, "It feels so good to see you out of danger."

Patrick touched the corner of her eye and asked with certainty, "How many times have you cried for me these days?"

Amelia blushed and muttered, "Countless times."

"You're a fool. Can't you see I'm fine?" Patrick smiled happily.

Amelia was not in a good mood. "You're the fool! The car was obviously coming after me, why did you rush over and hug me?"

Patrick stopped smiling and put on a serious tone. "Because I don't want you to die!"

Amelia's heart was pounding wildly. After a long while, she asked, "Is my life more important than yours?"

"I don't know. I did it subconsciously." Patrick recalled slowly, "When I saw the car coming at you, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, saying that I must protect you regardless, no matter the price I have to pay!"

Amelia's heart ached. She could understand how a mother would stand up for her child in the face of danger. But, men risking his life for a woman was rare, especially when their marriage had ended.

She sniffled and said while feeling sorry for him, "Patrick, can you think before you act next time? You are the president of the Roxxon Corporation, and the future leader of The Hopper Family. You're the hope of many as you're responsible for them. You don't have to sacrifice your life for me, I'm just your ex-wife!"

Patrick said in a serious tone, "It has nothing to do with my status, be it the president of Roxxon or the future head of The Hopper Family. In the face of danger, I'm just an ordinary man! Those titles could not bring me power like how they used to! At that time, I was just a man with a body stronger than you."

Amelia said bitterly, "If that's the case, the more you shouldn't..."

Patrick fixed his eyes on her face and said firmly, "Only in danger then I had known how to be an ordinary man and to protect the person I care in the most direct way. The accident had made me understand some things."

Did he say that she was the person he cared about?

Amelia's beautiful eyes were full of surprise and shyness. He had rarely said sweet words to her, so even if he mentioned about a little at the moment, they were like honey in her ears.

She admitted that she was selfish at the moment.

Her father had been getting weaker because of him, yet she was deeply immersed in his salvation.

Patrick frowned when he saw the disgust on her face when she was in a daze. "What are you worrying about?"

Amelia came to her senses and looked at him.

When she saw the bandages on his head, her heart softened. She knew that it was not the time to mention about the past as it would spoil the mood.

She put on a faint smile and said, "I wasn't worrying. I'm just thinking that we would usually be in a panic to save ourselves in danger. What could you have understood during that time?"

Patrick said seriously, "Haven't I told you about this yesterday? I no longer love Sissi."

Amelia frowned. "How could you be so sure?"

Patrick said lightly, "Because Sissi had been taken away by someone from the hospital."

"Oh, for real? But what does it have to do with your love for her?"

Amelia had just learned about Sissi's matter from Sawyer not long ago so she was just acting to be surprised at the moment.

Patrick said, "Because when I heard that she was taken away, I didn't feel panicked at all. At that time, I thought that I have hated you too much, so I've showed less worry for her.

Until my man told me that she was taken away by Sawyer, my heart became calm instead.

I knew that Sawyer wouldn't harm her and that he wouldn't simply expose her whereabouts which her and her unborn child could be protected.

While the only thing I can do for her now is to remain silent and not disturb her."

Amelia curled her lips into a resigned smile. "You're really good to her. How is that not love..."

Patrick was afraid that she would misunderstand so he interrupted, "That's not the same thing! If I really do love her, I'll immediately go to Sawyer after knowing her whereabouts. But I did not. I've felt a sense of relief instead!"

Amelia had already tried her best to restrain her malice towards Sissi, but when she spoke, she could not help but expressed her jealousy. "I think you're just afraid of hurting Sissi if you got into a fight with Sawyer."

Patrick almost gnashed his teeth as he said word by word, "That's not it! Do you need me to swear?"

At that moment, Patrick really lifted his hand which was still being injected by the IV drip. Amelia hurriedly said, "Fine, I will take it that you've moved on from Sissi. You don't have to tell me this anyway as I don't really care."

As she spoke, she looked away, seeming that she truly did not care.

"Why not?" Patrick held her waist tighter. The distance between their faces was no more than five centimeters which the atmosphere became ambiguous.

"Let me get up," warned Amelia.

Patrick let out an extremely seductive whisper, "Mrs. Hopper, don't move. My waist hurts when you move."

Amelia became worried and anxious that she had ignored the way he addressed her for a moment. "Since your waist hurts, I should not press on you."

"How about I turn to be on top of you?"

"No!" She still had a baby in her belly.

"Then I'd better be the one to suffer as to remain our posture."

He was completely not suffering!

His lips were almost touching her nose!

Looking at him, who was smiling slyly like a fox, Amelia wanted to forcibly get up from him, but she heard him saying, "Mrs. Hopper, I've missed you."

Amelia's heart beat faster and she had forgotten her words.

Patrick got bolder with his words, "I miss the smell of each strand of your hair and each part of your body. I think I will die on your body when I've finally recover from my injury."

Amelia was touched at first, but then she became angry. "Stop it... You p*rvert!"

Patrick deliberately changed his tune and asked in a long tone, "Young lady, do you want to go the beach with me?" "Get lost!" Amelia buried her face in his neck, laughing yet shy. Her soft breath made Patrick struggles. He sadly found that he did not have to wait until he was discharged from the hospital. He was dying at the moment as he was having a hard time holding himself back.

He finally could not hold it that he kissed her eyes, nose, and lips, deep and shallow, several times in a row...

Lying on his heaving chest, Amelia accepted his kisses with her eyes closed. She suddenly felt the urge to shed tears as she thought it was really wonderful to be alive.

After they had finished with the kissing,

Patrick lowered his head and asked, "Mrs. Hopper, why are you so well-behaved today?"

"When have I been naughty?" Amelia asked.

Patrick smiled bitterly and said, "You're naughty all the time, even in my dreams. But in my dreams, I'll always tie your hands up to prevent you from resisting so I can do everything I want to you."
