Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 869

Patrick's gaze turned cold as soon as he heard him. "I'll be right there." After hanging up the call, he rushed to the hospital according to the address given by the headmaster without taking his meal beforehand.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Amelia and Kaiden had already landed on the island. It was Simon who was waiting fortheir arrival.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wright and Ms. Amelia, it must have been tiring to travel all the way here. Please get into the car and take a rest."

"Thank you. Simon."

After greeting him, Amelia had gotten into the Lincoln with Kaiden.

Simon did not close the door right after they got onto the car. Instead, he asked, "Ms. Amelia, are you feeling hungry?"

Amelia shook her head as she answered, "No, I'm not hungry."

"Then, do you want something to drink?"

"No, I'm not thirsty either."

Simon did not further continue with his questions.

Amelia looked at Kaiden in confusion. He smiled at her understanding^ as if he could read her mind before he reached out to open the mini-fridge at the back seat.

All she could see was that the mini fridge was stuffed with all sort of fruits, champagne, beverages, snacks, chocolates and cakes.

Amelia glanced at Simon at the front seat and expressed her gratitude in surprise, "Simon, thank you!"

Simon had not expected her gratitude. Although he said nothing, Amelia could tell that her words had put a smile on his face before he gestured her that there was nothing to be thankful for.

Amelia could not bear at the thought of putting his good intention and effort into waste. Hence, she took out a box of cheese crackers from the fridge.

Since the crackers were packed in a box, such packaging had effectively avoided the cracker crumbs from falling off and messing up the backseat. Finishing up the crackers with Kaiden, perhaps this was the most effective way of shifting her attention from focusing on her anxiety.

Sawyer, who was a forest away from them, was sinking at his own thought as he stared at the things on the wall in this particular room.

Had someone broke into this room at this time, he

would have been frightened by the scene of it.

Every wall of this room were pasted with numerous photos. Every photos had successfully captured different expressions of the main focus at different occasions.

Regardless of the expressions, one thing to be sure was that they all belonged to the same person.

And that this person was supposed to be forgotten long ago.

Losing track of time, someone knocked the door when Sawyer was about to reach out and touch the woman in the photo.

"Mr. Quartley." It was Savannah who knocked.

Sawyer put his hand down and marched towards the door.

Opening the door, all he could see was Savannah having her back facing him as she stood. However, he was not infuriated with such an uncourteous behavior. In fact, he was the one that had demanded for her to do so.

Leaving the room, Sawyer carefully locked the door behind him.

After that, he spoke the middle-aged lady at her back, "Savannah, you can now turn to talk to me."

Turning around, Savannah bowed in respect before she said, "Mr. Quartley, Simon had already picked up

Mr. Wright and Ms. Amelia. They are now downstairs waiting for you."

Sawyer's eyes flickered as he suddenly asked, "Where's Abner?"

"He's now studying in his room with..."

Savannah was about to update Sawyer regarding Abner's home tutor before he interrupted, "Get Abner to meet Ms. Amelia downstairs. Oh yeah, you can tell the home tutor to dismiss the class earlier today."

Savannah was stunned for a moment before she carefully asked, "Mr. Quartley, I thought you never like to have Abner being in contact with strangers."

Sawyer shot her with an arrogant look as he uttered, "Mind your own business and do what I tell you to."

Upon realizing that she might have overstepped her boundaries, Savannah hurriedly buried her head down and said, "Yes, sir."

She turned around and walked into another room at the end of the corridor.

A moment later, a foreigner who had his beard well-maintained walked out from the room with a document file filled with revision materials and practice questions under his arm.

Bumping into Sawyer, the home tutor greeted him before he pointed at his watch in gesture that the time was still early. Apparently, he was confused of why he would be requested to dismiss his class early.

Sawyer responded by waving at him in a gesture for him to leave. Germans and their strict adherence to rules and regulations could sometimes be a problem.

The bearded man shrugged in disappointment before he turned and went downstairs.

Disguising himself in the shade of dark, Sawyer glanced in direction of the hall. From his angle where he stood, he could clearly tell every movement of Kaiden and Amelia.

Simon first invited them to take a seat while he instructed the servants to serve them with refreshments. Not sure what Kaiden had told Amelia, she frowned furiously in frustration.

Right at this time, it seemed as if Amelia had realized that he was staring at her from upstairs. As soon as she peeked at his direction, Sawyer dodged himself to the side and hid behind a pillar.

However, his eyes had never stopped from sizing her up in the dark.

Speaking of the truth, Amelia had not looked in his direction on purpose. In fact, she simply swept a quick glance at the surrounding including his direction.

It did not take her long to shift her gaze to somewhere else.

However, her delicate features had already imprinted in Sawyer's mind the moment when she looked up.

Honestly speaking, the photo of her shown by Kaiden had failed to adequately reflect her beauty in reality as compared to when she was met in person.

"Amelia Ramsay."

Sawyer sneered as he muttered her name to himself.

This was not the first time he had seen her.

During the trip to Latvia, thinking that she was the female companion coming together with Patrick, he had approached her on purpose even though with his face masked. However, no other men could fit into her eyes except for Patrick at that time. She even threatened to humiliate him in public had he continued to harass her.

Followingly, it was the incident of drug smuggling in the pub that had connected him to her. Although strictly speaking there was no direct contact between the two of them, his underlings by mistake had smuggled the drugs into her handbag.

It was also because of her that he was forced to terminate one of his drug markets!

"When did I start knowing her as Patrick's wife?" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Sawyer squinted and thought to himself.

Most probably it was when Kaiden paid a visit to him and showed him the photo of Amelia that she had been since then officially introduced into his circle.

Admittingly, he was never a person who needed to remember every face he came across with. Most of the people out there were either double-faced or obsequious which there was no need for him to remember any of them.

Even when Kaiden showed him a photo of her as Patrick's wife, he could not help but sneer.

But Abner's attitude had caught him by great surprise. With one look at Amelia's photo, Abner was attracted to her. In fact, everyone could tell that Abner was curious and even more, fond of her. Kaiden went further and made a joke claiming Amelia could be Abner's biological mother.

He was disdainful of such a joke and he even rejected sternly the proposal of Kaiden that involved him into his game.

Everything had changed after one point in time.

After learning that Amelia had donated blood for Abner after he accidentally fell down from the staircase, Sawyer finally showed interest in wanting to know the tricks pulled by this woman.

This was why he invited her for dinner.

While Sawyer was observing Amelia from the second floor, Savannah was adding another sheer of clothes for Abner to wear in his room.

As a result of the significant drop of temperature at night, Abner had unfortunately infected with flu.
