Amelia didn't feel good about the fact that Cynthia was so young but her arms were full of pinholes.
After the injection, the nurse comforted Cynthia as she usually did and pushed the medical cart away.
Cynthia touched the wound near her belly button and continued, "I'm actually glad that I was able to help Patrick take this shot. It's a testament to my heart for him."
Amelia felt very overwhelmed, because she knew that the shot made her even more inferior!
She swallowed her sadness and pretended to be relaxed as she said, "Cynthia, you were very brave indeed. The Hopper Family and I appreciate what you did genuinely."
"Madam Amelia Ramsay," Cynthia suddenly grabbed the arm of Amelia and worded it strongly, "I don't want anyone's gratitude. I just want the love of Patrick. Do you understand? I love him so much and I'd die for him! Frankly, you don't love him!"
Amelia felt creepy out:" You let my arms go first!"
Cynthia continued to irritate her: "Why are you afraid to look at me? Is it a guilty conscience?"
Amelia struggled fiercely with Cynthia, then shook off her arm...
The force she used wasn't really much, but Cynthia suddenly wailed, and her cries were so loud that instantly caught the attention of Patrick, who was smoking in the doorway.
As Patrick stepped through the door, he heard Cynthia tearfully say to Amelia, "Madam Amelia Ramsay... I didn't seduce Patrick at all... please don't get me wrong..."
"You're sick!" Amelia cursed right back, Cynthia was as fakey as ever!
"What's happening?" Seeing Cynthia suddenly shrank up and looked like she was in a lot of pain, Patrick impulsively pulled Amelia out of the way, and Amelia stumbled backward before standing still.
Cynthia held her stomach and whispered, "Patrick, I'm so hurt..."
"Where does it hurt?" Patrick's expression turned serious.
Cynthia looked at her abdomen to show where the pain from.
Patrick was furious and scolded Amelia, "Why are you arguing with her? Don't you know she has injuries!"
What a bitch! Amelia glared at Cynthia and scoffed, "Alright, you might quickly get a doctor to look at her."
Patrick was anxious. Cynthia had been shot in the abdomen. She hadn't had her stitches removed after surgery, and if the wound had collapsed, the consequences would have been disastrous.
He quickly pressed the "emergency light" in the room and hugged Cynthia while softly reassuring her: "Relax, and take a deep breath. The doctor will be
here soon."
Cynthia was rightfully enjoying Patrick's embrace in front of Amelia.
As soon as the doctor and nurse rushed in, Patrick grabbed the doctor by the collar and said, "She's in a lot of pain. You have to apply the best and most effective medicine to heal her!"
"Yes..." the doctor said fearfully, "I know you're anxious, but you'd better get out and wait."
Patrick took Amelia with him and left.
