Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 241

"Mrs. Hopper... "Seeing that Amelia would not look at him, Patrick could only go to her bedside and call her gently.

The scene of her fainting was so scary that he didn't want to repeat it again.

"I'm very tired. You let me sleep for a while." Amelia told him perfunctorily.

"Don't go to sleep yet, give me some time to clarify the truth." There was obviously a chair nearby, but Patrick crouched right down to the floor so he could be flush with her in the bed.

Amelia saw Patrick's humble gesture and she shifted her indifference slightly, "Go ahead."

"Look at this," Patrick handed Amelia the examination report in his hand, "It's Cherry's physical. She's still a virgin and I didn't even touch her last night."

Amelia froze and didn't take the report. She just stared at the anxious- looking man in front of her nervously.

"What's wrong? So you still don't believe me?" Patrick mistakenly thought that Amelia wouldn't even read the examination report, and he stubbornly says, "If you don't read it, I'll read it to you word for word!"

Amelia raised her hand to slap away the examination report, blinked her teary eyes, and cried and laughed at Patrick, "You silly man!"

Patrick didn't get angry at being scolded like that, just naturally opened his arms around Amelia who came to him, kissed her forehead and said softly, "You are a silly woman as well."

There was a time when Patrick felt that Amelia was an impenetrable wall and that no matter how much pressure he put on it or how much he destroyed it, she would always stand.

But as the walls crumbled, revealing her fragile form, and instead of being accomplished at all, Patrick felt a vague sense of panic.

Amelia childishly rubbed her tears in Patrick's arms and cried, partly because he had proved his innocence to her in a tangible way, but more because George's current situation made her feel so helpless for the first time.

After a moment's pause, she lifted her head up to him and said, "My dad's in the hospital."

"What's going on?" Patrick frowned.

Amelia told him the whole story.

Patrick began to realize the seriousness of the problem and finally understood why she was so vulnerable today, and he felt guilty that instead of being there for her when she was at her worst, he'd not only failed to be there for her, but he'd misbehaved by drinking at the Royal Joy Club!

Patrick felt sorry for himself and said, "Take a rest and I'll go and get you some porridge.

Amelia was over-starved, but she didn't feel hungry, and she desperately wanted to get back to George at this point, "Patrick, I want to..."
