"Let's think about it on the other hand. If you didn't lie to me and go climbing with Ryan, would I go to find him today? If I didn't go to find him, would he suffer from asthma again?"
Amelia nodded undeniablely.
"If Ryan was not sent to the hospital, you wouldn't have shouted at me and even run away from home. Then you wouldn't have met the rapist and even caused me to be hurt by him."
Amelia hesitated for a while and then nodded.
Patrick concluded slowly, "So, in the final analysis, it's all your fault."
Amelia was confused by his words. His words sounded so strange, but she had no way to refute him.
She pursed her lips and made a concession, saying, "Well, Mr. Hopper, it's all my fault. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."
Although she was more or less unwilling to admit her mistake, Patrick said with a smile, "Okay, then we can talk about the next thing."
"What?" Amelia was shocked and said, "What do you want to say?"
Patrick's eyes suddenly became sharp, "What did Cussler say to you outside the emergency room? You laughed so happily!"
Amelia recalled for a moment and said, "He told me a joke." "What joke?"
"I forgot."
Patrick's eyes became angrily, "Do you forget it or are you not willing to share it with me?"
Amelia sighed and said, "I only cared about your injury at that time. It was hard for me to laugh after hearing his joke. How can you expect me to remember that joke?"
Her answer made him a little satisfied, "That's good."
"Do you have any other questions? I'm going to prepare the bath water for you." After saying this, Amelia gently put down Patrick's injured arm.
When she turned around, Patrick grabbed her with the other hand and said, "Cook me a bowl of noodles first."
Amelia reacted, "Didn't you have dinner at night?"
In fact, Patrick didn't eat any food from noon to that moment, he was weak and distracted, otherwise, the rapist couldn't have got the chance to stab him.
Fifteen minutes later.
Amelia put the noodles soaked in soy sauce in front of Patrick. Fortunately, his left arm was injured and he used chopsticks with his right hand. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to eat.
Seeing that Patrick had a good appetite, Amelia was touched and confused. She asked, "By the way, why did you go to the alley?"
Patrick said without raising his head, "I've told you
that I happened to pass by."
Amelia frowned and said, "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll call Doctor Bledel."
Patrick snorted and said, "It's useless even if you call her. She doesn't know much about it."
Amelia made a guess on her own, "Did you secretly follow me again?"
Patrick frowned slightly and said, "I don't have that kind of strange hobby. Besides, you are not an important person. Why should I follow you?"
Amelia chuckled happily, "Is that so?" She thought, "I know that you followed me, ha-ha!"
