Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1855

Later, the bridge had collapsed due to Evan's irresponsible work. He also fell into the river and drowned.

Although they were dissatisfied with his father, after all, he was already dead. Moreover, George attached great importance to the dead. They were not allowed to say more and the matter would gradually settle down.

Daniel listened to these words over and over again. The conviction he had built for ten-some years began the collapse like a wall that had not been repaired for many years.

Every night when it was quiet, he tried to be a renovation worker to repair the fallen bricks one by one. After visiting a new family the next day, the house was once again turbulent.

He felt that his whole body had been torn into two halves, forming an opposite side. They looked at each other and quarreled every day.

The bigger side, "Daniel, don't be silly. These people must have been bought over by George earlier than expected. What they said couldn't even be trusted. If you were to believe them, then you would be considered an unfilial son!"

The smaller portion said, "Daniel, wake up. Your revenge is just a joke. You're even more disgusting than your father. At the very least, he didn't really want to kill those people, but you're really trying to do harm to them. You're better off dead."

"Ah!!!"

On another quiet night, Daniel woke up in a strange city and suddenly woke up several police officers who slept in the same room with him.

Several flashlights swiftly swept over him, shining on Daniel's pale and helpless face.

Noticing that the police officers' eyes fell on him along with the flashlight, Daniel suddenly hugged his head with his arms to prevent them from prying into his heart.

Seeing this, several police officers looked at each other and both of them said, "Again?"

Yes, this was not the first time Daniel had woken up in the middle of the night.

At the beginning, their first reaction was to take out the gun and aim it at him. Later, they gradually got used to it. They took the flashlight and shone it at him. After making sure that nothing happened, they let him vent his emotions.

But in the last few days, Daniel's mood had become more and more unstable. It was like the bowstring had been pulled into a full moon, and it seemed like it could break at any moment.

In this regard, they had reported to the management more than once. Should they take Daniel back to the police station? It turned out that the management was calm. After hanging around outside for two months, they also decided to let him continue floating.

At this time, Daniel's shoulders were shrugging. Because he was holding his head, no one could tell whether he was crying or laughing. However, the police were not interested in knowing that after turning off the flashlight, they continued to fall asleep.

After noticing the darkness around him, Daniel slowly put down his arm.

At this time, his face was blank and helpless, like a lost child, making it impossible to associate him with what he had done.

Unfortunately, there was no one around him who could relieve his worries. He just sat in bed for a night.

The next day.

When the police officers got up one after another, they heard Daniel's stiff voice, "I want to see my mother and brother."

Several police officers exchanged looks with each other, and then one of them picked up his mobile phone to report to Owen.

"Yes, Sir Hopper. Daniel suddenly asked to see his mother and brother."

On the other end of the line, Owen replied, "Oh? Get Daniel to answer the phone."

"Yes!" After the police officer responded, he quickly stuffed his mobile phone to Daniel and urged him, "Our officer is looking for you. Pick it up quickly."

After Daniel grabbed the phone, he placed it by his ear and said, "It's me. I want to see my mother and brother.”

Owen asked, "Are you going to stop investigating the truth of that year?"

His younger brother had told him the story of Daniel.

After hearing this, even he, who had always worshipped science, could not help but sigh with emotion, "Fate makes fools of people."

Daniel moved his lips and almost numbly said, "Even if I don't investigate, they're all the same..."

In the end, Owen agreed to get the police officers to send Daniel back to his hometown. He would then explain this matter to his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Amelia said, "I thought he would continue to ask questions until he asked all the people who knew the truth."

Patrick sneered and said, "He chose to escape halfway. It seems that even he himself is starting to waver."

Amelia sighed and said, "I hope he can think about it clearly, so that he won't have to hold a grudge against father in prison for the rest of his life, and father will be in a better mood."

After all, Daniel was a junior promoted by him and also his son- in- law. It was obviously impossible to say that George had no feelings for Daniel.

Therefore, even if it wasn't George himself who was wrong back then, George's heart was still heavy.

He believed that all of this could be avoided. Why didn't Daniel ask him earlier?

At the sametime-

All the police officers agreed.

After saying "thank you" in an almost inaudible way, Daniel took the lead in opening the ward door and walked in.

In the hospital bed, a middle- aged woman with shoulder-length short hair and delicate appearance was muttering something to the toy car in her hand. She didn't even notice anyone coming in.

"Mom —" Daniel carefully shouted while observing her expression.

She did not respond.

Daniel's heart sank to the bottom of the ocean. The nurse told him that she was quite sober recently. How did she become like this again?

Suppressing the disappointment and sadness in his heart, Daniel quickly walked forward and stood by the side of the bed. His gaze followed her slightly turbid eyes as he shouted, "Mom, I'm Daniel. I'm here to see you."

Upon hearing that, she stopped fiddling with the toy car and looked up blankly. "Daniel?"

"Yes, I'm Daniel, your son Daniel!" Daniel kept repeating his name, hoping that she would remember him.

She tilted her head and looked at him for a long time before saying, "You're not Daniel. My Daniel is not as big as you. You're not him! Who are you? What are you doing here?"

As she spoke, she noticed the police officers standing behind Daniel. She couldn't help but feel a hint of madness in her eyes. "And you... who are you?! I'm telling you guys, don't think it's easy to bully us just because Evan is dead. Leave us alone! If anyone of you dares to gossip, I'll let you have a taste of my power!"

Her memory seemed to have gone back to more than a decade ago...

After Daniel composed himself, he used the method that he and his younger brother had invented for her. "Aunty, I'm Daniel's classmate. Today, it's his turn to work, so he asked me to tell you. Coincidentally, my surname is also Phillips. You can call me Daniel. These are also my classmates. They heard that Aunty is very nice, so they came with me."

Hearing this, she became slightly quieter, "Are you all my Daniel's classmates?"

"Yes, Ned can testify for us."

This was the case every time. When one of them used this trick, the other would testify for the other.

Unless their mother was sick to the point that she couldn't recognize both of her sons, they would usually succeed.

"Well... then, please, please sit down..."

It seemed that he had succeeded!

After Daniel breathed a sigh of relief, he curiously stared at the toy car in her hand and asked, "Mom - no, Auntie, what are you playing?"
