Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1856

After hearing Daniel's question, Jemima lowered her head to look at the toy car in her hand and then said in a daze, "Ah, this is a gift that I'm going to give to Daniel. He got first place in the examination and I want to reward him..."

Daniel forced a smile. "I think he will definitely like it."

"I don't know if he likes it or not. Since his father died, he has become very dull. I don't even know how to make him happy.”

Daniel's smile was uglier than crying. "Aunty, can you show me the toy?"

Jemima said reluctantly, "You, don't break it."

Seeing her hiding the toy car under the blanket, Daniel couldn't help but feel both happy and sad.

Just then, the door was pushed open again.

When he saw so many people in the ward, the person was stunned for a moment. Then, his gaze passed through everyone and landed on Daniel.

"Big brother!"

Upon hearing the voice, Daniel quickly turned around. He saw Ned, who was tall and thin and was dressed fresh and cool, looking at him in excitement.

Before Daniel had the time to say anything, he saw Ned quickly walking over. His eyes were bright as he looked at him. "Brother! Didn't you say on the phone that you'll only arrive this afternoon? Why are you here so soon?"

Daniel patted his brother's head. "It was raining heavily at the airport last night. I thought the plane would be delayed by a night. I didn't expect the rain to stop late at night and the plane to take off normally, so I arrived ahead of schedule."

"I see." After nodding, Ned looked at the others in the ward and asked politely, "Who are these?"

Daniel said, "They're all good friends of mine. They heard that our mother's health is not very good, so they came back with me to see her."

Upon hearing this, Ned introduced himself to the police officers who pretended to be Daniel's good friends without any suspicion. "Hello! My name is Ned, and I'm Daniel's brother. I'm a freshman this year and just came back from military training in the past few days. You can call me Ned!"

Ned had a completely different temperament from Daniel.

He was simple, honest, and enthusiastic, which made the police officers unconsciously smile at him.

One of the police officers asked, "Which university do you go to?"

Ned said, "University H!"

Hearing this, the police officers praised one after another, "Yo, one of the top ten universities in the country, Ned, you're not bad!"

Ned said shyly, "No, I'm not as good as my brother."

"Ned," Daniel said softly at this moment, "You don't have to be so modest. You are much more promising than me in the past."

Ned insisted and said, "No! You had to take care of me and our sick mother back then. It's very great of you to get into such a good university. I'm far from as good as you."

Thinking back to those hard days, Daniel's eyes couldn't help but turn dark, but soon they returned to normal. "Ned, don't stand there. Come sit next to me."

"But they..."

Ned hesitantly looked at the only wooden chair in the ward and thought, "If he sits down, won't the others have to stand?"

Hearing these words, Daniel was stunned.

Although he was just acting with the several police officers temporarily, in fact, he did not take them as friends. He naturally would not consider whether they should stand or sit.

Unexpectedly, Ned had thought about it. They were just strangers he met for the first time!

Just as Daniel was thinking about this, Ned said, "Brother, I'm going to borrow a few chairs from the nurse. Stay here with mom first!"

"Hey, Ned..." Before Daniel could say anything, Ned ran out.

"Since you have such a brother and mother," the police officer next to him was touched and asked, “Don't you feel satisfied with them around?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Daniel's mother was a good mother who would even think of her son when she was not in her right mind. Ned was a good brother with a pure heart!

Why did Daniel hold onto the hatred that didn't exist at all, and why did he neglect the two people that he truly needed to take good care of?

Upon hearing the police officer's question, a sad cry suddenly came from Daniel's chest. If he could rewind the time, how good would it be...

After a while, Ned ran back with a wooden chair in each hand.

Although the young man was thin, he had strength. The policemen wanted to help him, but the young man said happily, "I'm very happy that you can come to see our mother. Besides, you are guests, I can't let you help me!"

Then, he went back to get more chairs.

For a moment, the police officers looked at Daniel with even more complicated expressions. The more enthusiastic and sincere his brother was, the more Daniel appeared to be a hypocrite, right?

However, Daniel smiled at this moment. His brother had grown into someone who was even more outstanding than him, so he could rest assured.

Ned pulled back six chairs after going back and forth three times.

Daniel's eyes flickered, "It's nothing."

"Brother, did you... quarrel with sister-in-law?"

Ned had attended his brother's wedding. To be honest, his sister-in-law's character scared him a little. His brother was gentle and well-mannered. He didn't know if his sister-in-law would bully him.

Daniel lied, "No, our relationship has always been very good."

"Oh, then I'm relieved!” Ned was simple-minded. Since his brother said they were fine, they should be fine.

"By the way, brother, how long can you stay at home this time? I still have two days off. After that, I have to go back to school."

Hearing this, Daniel subconsciously looked at the police officers.

One of the policemen shook his mobile phone, then stood up and walked out of the ward.

Daniel was stunned and bitterly thought, "It's not up to us to decide how long we can stay here. It's up to Owen and Patrick, but I'm afraid they're not so kind."

Seeing Daniel pursing his lips in silence, Ned asked in disappointment, "Can't you stay? Even a day is good..."

Daniel's heart was dripping blood. He wanted to stay here from now on, but it was impossible.

A moment later, the police officer who went out to call returned and made a "two" gesture to Daniel.

This was...

Owen and the others had agreed to let him stay here for two days?!

Daniel's gloomy eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly said to Ned, "Ned, I've thought about it. There should be nothing important in the company for the next few days. I'll stay here with you and mom for two days. Is this okay?"

At first, Ned was a little dispirited, but when he heard that Daniel was going to stay for two days, his face immediately turned red with excitement. "Brother, you must keep your promise. Don't leave because of your work again!"

"No, I won't," Daniel said seriously, "I will definitely keep my words this time."

After that, the two brothers started to talk about a lot of things.

Ned had entered a university in a big city, so he was a little more knowledgeable. However, he still maintained his admiration for Daniel. He simply said, "Big Brother is formidable", "Big Brother, can you teach me?", which made Daniel feel complicated.

Suddenly, Ned heard him saying, "Ned, it's better to learn less about someone like me."
