While walking, George suddenly stopped and said to Amelia, "Amelia, I don't want to use a crutch anymore."
Amelia's footsteps paused. She heard George continue, "I want to try and see if I can walk on my own."
"This... won't it be too forcing yourself?" Amelia looked at him worriedly.
After lying for so many months, George's body was currently recovering. If he did not use his crutch all of a sudden, she was not sure if he would collapse to the ground the next second.
"Let me try." George looked at her in a wronged manner. "Alice is a coward. Every time she hears that I want to walk on my own, she will not let me. Now that she is finally not here, just let me try."
Under his gaze, Amelia did not know what to do. "Alright.”
She reached out to take his crutch and stared at him for a moment, waiting to help him when there was anything unusual.
George did not dare to be too careless. After losing his crutch, he used his hands to support the window edge beside him. After that, he tried to take the first step with his own strength.
The result was surprisingly smooth!
Seeing that George was able to walk without using crutches, Amelia felt extremely happy from the bottom of her heart. Of course, she had intentionally neglected the hand that George was using to support him. No matter what, this was already a huge improvement.
She started joking in a good mood. "Dad, it seems that you can go back to work soon."
Hearing these words, George was first stunned. Then, he shook his head with a bitter smile. "I am old and I have experienced so many things. My current wish is to go home and retire. As for the company, it is taken over by Roxxon Group. I am very reassured."
Amelia heard the bitterness in his words and could not help but pretend to blink lightly at him. "Dad, I mean, when you have nothing to do, you can go to the company. It's more interesting than staying at home. Besides, who is more professional in architecture than you?"
George's mood became a little more better after receiving such praise from his eldest daughter. He immediately nodded and expressed his willingness to listen to Amelia's suggestion.
Seeing this, Amelia couldn't help but smile.
In the past, she always felt that George was getting older and was not in good health, so she hoped that he could retire earlier.
Now that he had been bedridden for many months and had suffered the betrayals of Daniel, Brittany, and Kaleb, she felt that she should find him something to do. Not only was it for his health, it was also for him to regain his enthusiasm for life.
"Okay, Dad. Take a rest," Amelia said.
"Mm.” George tried to withdraw his hand from the window sill and shifted his legs towards the direction of the hospital bed.
As a result, his calves were a little unbearable in just two steps.
Seeing this, Amelia quickly handed him the crutch in her hand. "Dad, you'd better use it, or you will fall."
George was more than happy. He was afraid of causing trouble for his eldest daughter.
After he returned to the hospital bed, Amelia turned around and placed the crutch in place. She then opened the lid of the thermos bottle and filled the bottle with a thick pot of soup. After that, she said to George, "Dad, I'll feed you."
"Okay." George said as his palm pressed downwards. "Feed me while sitting down, Amelia."
He didn't want her to be too tired.
Amelia smiled and sat on the chair behind him as she was told. She handed him the spoon and asked softly, "Can you drink now, Dad?"
George then drank the soup.
"By the way, Dad, Mr. Hopper gave me the contract of purchasing Apex Construction Corporation last night. I am not as good as you in this aspect, so I brought you the contract. Do you want to see it now?"
Upon hearing this, George did not show the same kind of reaction like Amelia last night.
As Amelia said, he was an expert and knew that a lot of things were not judged by friendship alone.
"Okay, give it to me."
Amelia turned around, took out the purchase contract from the bag, and handed it to George.
After George took it from her, he began to examine it carefully.
George was worried. "I know that Patrick has the ability and the money. But he doesn't own Roxxon Corporation. If he makes such a decision, I am afraid that the people in his company will not obey him!"
Hearing this, Amelia couldn't help but nod.
"Well, I'll call him now and let him come here directly after work at noon?"
George shook his head. “There's no need to be in such a hurry. Lunch break will be over fast. Let him come back in the evening."
"Okay." Amelia responded obediently. Then she took out her mobile phone and dialed Patrick's number.
*
Roxxon Corporation.
Patrick, who was attending a senior executive meeting, suddenly stopped when he heard a familiar ringtone.
The meeting room quickly quieted down. No one dared to object, because this was a call for Mr. Hopper.
After Patrick took out the phone in a calm manner, his cold eyes suddenly softened. He did not go out and directly answered the phone in front of everyone.
Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces. When Mr. Hopper's phone rang in the past, he would reject it or walk outside to
answer it. This was his habit.
Until they heard Patrick intimately call out, "Amy."
Everyone suddenly became excited.
There were many "legends" about Amelia. Some said that she was not George and his first wife's biological daughter. Some said that she stepped on the real daughter of The Ramsay Family to get the position, while others said that she was a complete lunatic...
But when they saw the expression of Patrick calling her "Amy", everyone felt that she was just a little woman who was loved and doted by Mr. Hopper.
