Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 223

"Really? " Patrick didn't want to question the truth of Cynthia's words.

It looked like she was really in pain that she was curled up and sweated in bed the last time, but when he called for a doctor, she never cooperated with the examination.

Amelia had been here yesterday, the confusion of the situation and her rebellions had made him angry enough to be indiscriminate with her, but now some details told him that he seemed to have really misunderstood Amelia.

Cynthia saw Patrick's suspicious look towards her and quickly explained, "Patrick, you must be wondering why I didn't let the doctor examine me yesterday when I was in so much pain, but today I act like nothing happened, right?"

Patrick stared at her with silent suspicion.

Cynthia bowed her head and lowered her voice, "That's because... I had my period yesterday..."

"What?" Patrick was stunned.

Cynthia blushed and continued, "Two days before my period, my abdomen always feels swollen and painful, and when I argue with Madam Amelia Ramsay, the feeling gets stronger... Actually, you're too nervous, it's just one of the physiological reactions of a woman and that was the reason I resisted the doctor. He's a man, and how am I ever going to face him if I'm allowed to be examined by him in a full-body examination while I'm in period?" "What a coincidence!" Patrick said with a faint smile.

Cynthia's hand rested lightly on her stomach and sighed softly, "Don't you believe me? But yes, Madam Amelia Ramsay is your wife, it's only right that you trust her, and who the hell... am I for you...?" Feeling sympathy and guilt, Patrick interrupted, "Stop it. I believe you.

Knocking.

Hearing the cautious knock on the door, Patrick turned around and said, "Come in."

The door was flung open, upon making contact with Cynthia's displeased look at being disturbed, the caregiver quickly put her head down, "Mr. Hopper, Cynthia, I'm so sorry, my one- year- old grandson suddenly fell down the stairs, and now the whole family is in a hurry and is calling me back immediately, I might... have no time to prepare Cynthia's dinner."

Patrick saw the caregiver's anxious look and said, "We'll be fine. You can go home earlier."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Hopper! You are really kind!"

The caregiver didn't even think to go over and ask Cynthia, because Patrick was the boss who paid her salary.

After the caregiver left, Cynthia played cutely and asked, "Who's going to take care of my dinner if you let her go?"

Patrick said lightly, "I take care of it."

After that, he pointed to the door and said, "I'm going out to make a phone call."

Cynthia watched Patrick's back with satisfaction and thought, how lucky! If it wasn't for the emergency at the caregiver's grandson, he wouldn't have been able to eat with her.

She couldn't wait to get up from the bed. Cynthia came to the cabinet, deliberately picked an elegant dress, walked into the bathroom and changed it.

On the other side...

"Amelia, I have something else to take care of tonight, so I can't go home to have dinner with you."

"Something happened?"

Patrick was just about to tell the truth, then thought of all the conflicts between Amelia and Cynthia, so he couldn't be as honest as he had been.

He opted for a good-natured lie, "Yes, there is a little problem with Roxxon, but I won't be back too late."

Amelia understood and sweetly said, "Then remember to ask your secretary to order you a takeout before you leave for work."

Patrick felt a little guilty about hearing all this.

But he heard the sound of Cynthia walking around. He was worried that he would be exposed, so he answered in a hurry, "Okay, I will."
