Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1883

"Ned..." If it was in the past, Daniel would definitely have asked Ned to focus on his studies and not be bothered by other things. As his older brother, he could handle everything on his own.

But now, he desperately hoped that Ned could grow up overnight, so he did not stop him. "Well, okay, I support you, Ned, but you should focus on your studies. If you can get a scholarship every year, it will be much more worthwhile than doing part-time jobs."

"I will. Brother, don't worry! I will definitely get the scholarship!" Ned's eyes were full of determination.

Seeing him in this state, Daniel suddenly felt that his life was filled with hope.

He pulled Ned up from the ground and stood up, saying, "Let's go back to mom!"

Ned saw that his brother had finally regained some of his energy. He also became happy, and then followed his brother into the ward like a tail.

This time, Daniel didn't say anything like "I am Daniel" in front of his mother. He just quietly looked at his mother, who had calmed down, and watched her pick up the toy car hidden beside the pillow as she muttered that she wanted to give it to her eldest son.

Gradually, the night fell.

Daniel's heart began to fill with panic. After tonight, he would return to Northville. At that time, they would be separated.

Ned had just turned into an adult, and his mother was occasionally sick. When Sarah was still keeping him as a paramour, he could ask her to transfer money to them in his name, but now he had nothing.

No connections, money, or authority. What about their tuition fees, medical fees, and living expenses?

Also, he had just promised Ned that he would hire a nurse for their mother. How could he keep his promise?

Looking at Ned squatting on the ground to wash his mother's feet, Daniel felt bitter. If he couldn't think of a solution, then he could almost predict Ned's future.

Ned would quit school because there was no one to take care of their sick mother. He would come back to the countryside to find an ordinary job and begin to make money to support the family...

It shouldn't be like this!

Ned was so excellent that he should not end up like this. He still had a bright future and he must not be trapped here!

Therefore, he had to solve this issue!

After Daniel clenched his hands which were on his knees, he pointed at the door to a policeman who had been keeping an eye on him. The two of them quietly left the ward and walked towards an empty corner.

"What is it? " asked the policeman.

"Can you lend me your phone?" Daniel asked hesitantly.

"Yes, but you have to tell me who you’re going to call first, and I'll watch you on the other side when you call."

"I know this." Daniel didn't dare to ask for any privacy. "I want to call Officer Hopper, is that okay?"

The policeman looked down at his wristwatch. Seeing that it was still early, he took out his phone from his pocket and looked for Owen's contact number. He handed it to Daniel and said, "Okay, you can call him."

"Thank you." After receiving the phone, Daniel dialed the number on it.

Northville.

Ashley was playing with Owen's mobile phone when the phone suddenly rang. She was so scared that she almost dropped the phone.

"Who is this? Why does he have to call even when daddy is not at work? Daddy belongs to you when he works but he should belong to us when he's not at work!"

Ashley made a face at the phone that kept ringing, slipped off the sofa, and shouted, "Daddy, daddy, someone's calling you." Meanwhile, she looked for Owen everywhere.

Although she really hated someone taking up her daddy's time, her daddy and mommy had taught her that she could not hang up her daddy's call without permission. Maybe the other party had something important to tell.

Well, not only did she not hang up the phone, but also acted as a runner. Daddy should praise her well later.

Seeing that Owen was not in the public area, she ran to her daddy and mommy's bedroom. Since the phone had been ringing for a long time, she was anxious and pushed the door open without knocking. "Daddy, your..."

When she saw the scene in the bedroom, she was completely dumbfounded.

Her daddy was pressing down on her mommy on the table to kiss her mommy. "Why do they have to be so intimate on the table? Isn't there a bed? Strange adults..."

On the other side, Owen heard the sound of the door opening. Although he immediately distanced himself from Nora, from his daughter's face that was filled with expressions, he knew that she had seen everything.

"Ashley!" Nora's reaction was slower, and she wasn't as calm as her husband. Her face was extremely red. "Listen, listen to my explanation."

"Nora, tidy up first." Owen gave her a vague reminder.

Only then did Nora realize that her chest felt cold. She quickly grabbed her collar. She was obviously a mature woman in her thirties, but now she looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year- old girl. Seeing this, Owen loved and pitied her, so he simply wanted to tidy her clothes in front of their daughter.

"No!" Nora refused to let him touch her and used her eyes to signal that the Ashley was still here.

"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about her."

If Andrew broke in, Owen might be worried about the bad influence to him. But after discovering that it was Ashley that broke in, he suddenly felt relieved, because his little daughter was already a bad girl.

"I don't expect it to be ten or twenty years. I just hope that you can provide help until my brother finds a job after graduating from college. I wonder if Officer Hopper will agree?"

Owen was silent for a moment and replied, "Yes."

Daniel did not expect the other party to agree so readily. He was immediately stunned.

After a long while, he said, "Thank you..."

Owen said, "Tell me your specific demands now."

Daniel had already thought it through, "I need a nurse from the countryside who can take care of my mother. I also need you to pay for my mother's medical expenses on a regular basis."

"Also, the living expenses for her and my brother. Not to forget about my brother's tuition fees, but if he can get the scholarship, he doesn't need it. My brother is a freshman this year.

There are still four years before graduation, so there are only four years left! Please take good care of them for me!"

After listening, Owen continued with the same answer, "Okay."

The situation had progressed too smoothly. On the contrary, it made Daniel feel uneasy. "Can I trust you?"

Owen replied with a question, "You don't seem to have any other choice but to believe me now, do you?"

Daniel smiled bitterly, "You are right. Even if I want to make a deal with other policemen, they may not dare to investigate it. They may not keep their promise afterward. Instead of this, I might as well gamble on you."

"It seems that you have already thought it through. There is no need for me to say anything more. After you return to the police station, we will start the deal you said. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Daniel agreed.

After the call, Owen sent a text message to Patrick and then walked to Ashley, who was still standing.

"Daddy!" Seeing Owen coming over, Ashley immediately blinked her big eyes, trying to muddle through. "My feet are so sore."

Owen stretched out a finger and pointed at her little head. "Be honest, you saw what I was doing with your mommy just now?"

"You were..." Ashley rolled her eyes and said, "Mommy fell down accidentally. Daddy just

went up to help her. Nothing else."

Hearing this, Owen couldn't help smiling. "Yes, remember to tell your mommy like this later. Do you hear me?"
