Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 2004

Ryan had originally wanted to say, "It was George who prevented me from coming out to meet you", but now it seemed that she knew that he had come to see her. She just didn't want to come out and see him.

But thinking about it, she was right. He had never done anything as a father in the past few years. Why should she treat him nicely?

Amelia did not allow the silence to flow between them for too long. "Uncle Quartley, if you have nothing else to say, please forgive me..."

"Don't go! Yes, I do!" Ryan hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay.

Amelia signaled him with her eyes.

Ryan hesitated and said in embarrassment, "Amelia, I'm sorry. When Shu was pregnant with you, she was just married. That's why I always thought that you were the daughter of someone else!"

"Oh." There was a trace of complexity in Amelia's eyes. "So?"

Ryan said, "If I knew you were my daughter, I would definitely take responsibility for this!"

After listening to him, Amelia asked, "Uncle Quartley, can I ask you how you are going to take responsibility? Are you going to divorce Aunt Ruth and marry the woman who has had a one-night stand with you? Or are you going to shut her up with the money first, and then give her money every year to support us?"

Ryan was at a loss for words. "I..."

Amelia said, "I don't mean to be aggressive. I just think that everyone can say such righteous words now because time can't go back. Am I right, Uncle Quartley?"

Ryan didn't know what to do. This was the first time he had seen Amelia's aggressive side. He couldn't fight back at all!

Amelia did not have to get his answer. Just thinking about it, he knew that how could a one- night stand be comparable to a legitimate wife?

Therefore, she was destined to be a hidden existence.

She was glad that she had been abandoned in the orphanage instead of being the illegitimate daughter of the Home of Quartley. "Uncle Quartley, You've seen me now and you've seen my son. You've explained enough. Don't come here anymore. I'm afraid my father will be unhappy."

Following her words, Ryan felt as if there was a hole in his heart.

She said that she was afraid that her father would be unhappy, but he was her father!

After calming himself down, Ryan explained, "Amelia, I don't know if George and Patrick had told you. In fact, I didn't have any relationship intentionally with that Shu. She took the chance when I was drunk.

When Ruth went out for a trip, she deliberately dressed up as Ruth and lay on the bed of Ruth and me, misleading me, so... I made a big mistake!"

Amelia was silent for a moment. "Do you mean that I'm the big mistake?"

Ryan was stunned for a moment before he agitatedly denied, "That's not what I meant!"

Amelia smiled with pity, but her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. "In fact, no matter what you mean, it doesn't matter anymore. It's indeed wrong for her to play tricks and climb into your bed, but isn't it also wrong for you to be drunk and mistake her for someone else?"

In the midst of Ryan's frozen expression, Amelia said, "That's why Uncle Quartley, you shouldn't treat yourself like an innocent victim, right?"

Ryan was too ashamed.

Seeing that he was speechless, Amelia nodded slightly and was ready to leave with Ellish in his arms.

"Amelia, don't go!"

Ryan had always been polite, but at this moment, he couldn't care less. He stepped forward and stood in front of Amelia. His face was no longer elegant, only filled with anxiety and pleading.

Amelia looked up at him in silence, which made Ryan feel even more stressed.

"It was all my fault that caused such a big regret between you and me. Can you give me a chance to make up for it now?"

Ryan knew that he had never begged anyone in his life. Amelia was one, but he was willing to do so!

Amelia just shook her head and said, "No, I'm afraid my father will be unhappy if he knows."

Ryan's logic suddenly snapped and he said something inappropriate, "But I... I'm also your father, aren't I?"

This was like poking a hornet's nest. Originally, if he didn't mention the word "father", Amelia was willing to respect him. But now he mentioned it, Amelia couldn't bear it anymore. "Ask yourself, are you?"

Before he could speak, she continued, "Do you know how my father treated me for so many years? And how did I treat him? In order to take care of my dignity, he endured my misunderstanding and hatred, but still wanted to hide the truth about my family background! And what about you? You don't even know that I am your daughter."

In Ryan's expression, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Amelia added, "I respectfully address you as 'Uncle Quartley' because of our past friendship. Please don't misunderstand. I think you're still the same Uncle Quartley as before!"

Ryan's breathing quickened. He quickly took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, opened it, and swallowed a few pills.

Seeing this, Amelia couldn't help but tighten her grip on Ellish.

At that moment, she had forgotten that Ryan was ill.

After sighing in her heart, Amelia regained her composure and said, "Uncle Quartley, not long ago, my father lost his own daughter and son-in-law. It's time for me to accompany him.

Amelia bit her lips and said, "Uncle Quartley has a congenital disease. It's likely that what I said just now stimulated him."

Alice comforted her quickly. "My child, no one would have thought that such a thing would happen. Don't blame yourself. I believe that Patrick will be able to handle it well."

In the end, she put her hand on her shoulder and said, "Let's go back. Don't let your father wait too long."

Amelia looked away, lowered her eyes, and replied, "...Okay."

After returning home, George immediately asked about his daughter and grandson's health. Although Amelia answered them one by one, her mood was not very high at all, and she was not like someone healthy.

George couldn't help asking, "Amelia, why are you so absent-minded? By the way, where is Patrick? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Amelia opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to mention it. So she directly skipped the first question and said, "Dad, Mr. Hopper has something urgent to do, so we don't have to wait for him. Let's eat first."

Although George was puzzled by her actions, he still nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat first."

During the meal, Amelia deliberately put her mobile phone on the dining table, so that she could see the message from Patrick as soon as possible.

Seeing that she was eating and glancing at the mobile phone from the corner of her eyes,

George became more and more confused.

After the meal, Amelia took her cell phone and gave an excuse to go back to her room to rest. George didn't say anything, but he immediately turned around and stared at Alice.

As soon as his eyes met hers, she knew what he was going to ask. She didn't hide anything from him and told him everything that Ryan had done to stop Amelia at the gate.

George's expression had changed from being upset from the beginning to taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.

"Hahaha! Did Ryan really faint from anger?"

Alice quickly looked upstairs at Amelia's room and said, "Keep your voice down. Amelia didn't do it on purpose. It's not good for her to hear you laughing like this."

Hearing this, George restrained himself a little, but the smile on his face was still not gone for a while.

"Let's just take it as an eye for an eye. How did he treat Amelia back then? Now, Amelia is treating him like this. He deserves it!"

Alice smiled faintly and said, "But... if he dies, Amelia will blame herself."
