Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1899

"Sure, I'll wait for you outside." After responding to Ned, Owen walked out of the morgue.

Ned reached out his hand and wrapped his arms around Daniel's icy body. "Brother, I finally understand what you mean by 'too late'. If I had known that you would do this, I would have reminded mom of you no matter what."

Thinking of the day when his brother left the countryside, the words he specifically told him, and the three kowtows he made to their mother in front of the bed, Ned's nose was sour. He gently shook his brother's body with his hand and murmured-

"Brother, can you wake up? I don't want to be a little man. I just want to be your tail and follow your footsteps forever."

Then, he burst into tears. "Dad is dead, and mom... is ill! Now you...! I really don't know what to do..."

Seeing that his tears had accidentally fallen onto Daniel's face, Ned hurriedly stretched out a finger to wipe them away. However, there were new tears on it again after he wiped away the previous tears. For a moment, Ned felt helpless. "Brother, tell me... how should I explain it to mom? She's still waiting to see her grandson..."

No one could give him an answer.

Ned stared at Daniel for a long time, so long that his eyes hurt so much that he couldn't take it anymore. However, Daniel still maintained that serene face, as if committing suicide brought him new life instead of death.

Ned suddenly wiped away the tears on his face and extended his hand into the white cloth. He grabbed Daniel's hand and said slowly, "Brother, I want to take you home."

Seeing the young man walk out of the morgue like a ghost, Owen said timely, "Well, you're finally out."

Upon hearing this, Ned looked at him and almost collapsed. He shouted, "Officer

Hopper..."

Owen looked at him sympathetically. "Come on, let's go to my office."

As soon as they entered Owen's office, Ned saw two boxes of food and two bottles of water on his desk. This was what Owen had told his subordinate who passed by to get from the cafeteria while Ned was in the morgue.

"You must be hungry after such a long journey, aren't you?" Owen split the food and water into two portions, leaving one for himself and pushing the other to Ned. "Feel free to eat. In the future, there are still many things you need to take care of."

Ned pulled at his cracked dry lips and replied in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, I'm not hungry." "Would you like some water? You don't look very well now."

Owen opened the bottle of water for Ned and handed it to him. "If you don't eat and drink, I'm afraid you'll faint before I finish talking about your brother."

Hearing this, Ned finally raised his hand under the table and took the mineral water.

He just wanted to take a sip, but he didn't expect that as soon as his lips touched the bottleneck, he began to drink uncontrollably.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that a bottle of 400ml mineral water had been emptied, and he couldn't help looking at Owen with embarrassment.

Owen looked at him with a smile. "Do you want more?"

"No," Ned whispered.

Owen said, "Let's eat then."

Ned shook his head. "It's enough with just water."

Owen asked, "How long have you not eaten?"

Ned pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Alright, it's up to you." Owen felt that he had done his best. "About your brother, you can ask me if you have any questions. Alright, let's begin."

Ned then asked, "What kind of person is my brother to the others?"

"He was a man who relied on another woman," said Owen.

Seeing Ned's unhappy look, Owen put his hands on the desk and said in a business-like tone, "If you can't even accept this, then it must be harder for you to accept the following things."

Ned slightly narrowed his eyes in order to conceal the emotions that could escape from his eyes at any time. "Please continue."

Owen went on to say, "Your brother first used his ex- girlfriend to join Apex Construction Corporation, then married his ex-girlfriend's sister, and then poisoned his father-in-law. All he did was to revenge for nothing."

Ned asked in disbelief, "Revenge? What was there to revenge?"

The key was, what did it mean by "revenge for nothing"?

He was really confused.

Owen said, "Your father died because of an accident, didn't he?"

"Yes." After Ned replied, he thought of something and asked, "Did my brother..."

Owen affirmed Ned's guess. "Yes, he wanted to take revenge for your father, so he tried his best to join Apex Construction Corporation, where your father worked, and then he implemented his revenge plan step by step. And his father- in- law is the CEO of Apex Construction Corporation, the enemy that he thought killed your father."

Owen could not help but praise the young man in front of him for having a clear heart. In fact, he could have taken Daniel's body, but doing so was equivalent to turning the Ramsay family down. The two families had grudges in the first place, and it would make things worse if he did that.

At this time, Ned whispered, "If the Ramsay family is willing to take my brother's body, I think my brother will be happy if he knows about it."

I think he will be," said Owen.

"In fact, when my brother returned to the countryside this time, I could feel his changes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me not to be a person like him. I just didn't understand what he meant at that time. I was such a loser...” Ned lowered his head in self-reproach.

While Owen was comforting Ned in the police station, Patrick was not idle either. He personally brought Daniel's suicide news to George and Alice.

In fact, he could have made a phone call to solve the problem, but it was not formal enough, so he went there in person.

After hearing this, the two elders were both stunned. None of them had ever thought of letting Daniel die. At most, they would only hope that he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

"Is what you said true, Patrick? Did Daniel really commit suicide?!"

"Yes, Alice. My brother said it. Could it be fake?"

Hearing this, Alice was stunned and shed two lines of tears. She said, "Should I say that he deserved it? After doing so many bad things, he finally got his retribution..."

Patrick couldn't figure out whether she was crying with sorrow or tears of joy.

On the contrary, George was very quiet. Older men knew how to hide their emotions.

Patrick didn't bother them. After he finished what he needed to say, he left quietly.

His next target was Brittany.

When Richard opened the door for him, he saw Brittany standing by the window and looking into the distance.

Perhaps the sound of opening the door had disturbed her. She suddenly turned around and was on guard when she saw it was him.

"It's you! What are you doing here? "

Patrick put his hands in his pockets and did not enter. He stood at the door and said to her, "Daniel is dead. Are you interested in collecting his body?"
