After leaving the furniture town, Patrick sat in the car and lost in thought for a while. The atmosphere in the car was so quiet that it was enough to appease his anger.
Soon, he took his mobile phone out of his pockets and dialed Sissi's number.
After a while, the phone was connected.
However it was strange that it was not Sissi who was speaking but a rough-sounding man.
"Hello? Are you Ms. Roberts' friend?"
Patrick said gloomily, "Who are you? Why are you holding her phone?"
The other side of the phone was very noisy. Patrick could hear the traffic police giving command. When Patrick secretly paid attention to the background sound, he heard the person on the phone talk again, "Let's make it short. Please come to the center of the Long River Road. We'll talk when you're here!"
Patrick's heart skipped a beat. After he pressed the phone button, he quickly started the car.
On the Long River Road.
Before Patrick arrived at the center of Long River
Road, he was blocked by the traffic in front of him.
When he wound the window down, he heard the driver of the car beside scolding, "D*mn! Why does traffic accident happened at this time?"
Afternoon at the Land of Fragrance.
When Amelia went home, there was no one in the house.
"It's fine that Patrick is not here, but even Huxton is not here as well?"
After Amelia confused for a second, she thought of a possibility. Huxton might be meeting Dr. Scarlett.
Did this mean that she was finally alone in the house?
"Yes!" Amelia thought to herself. "Then I can relax now!"
On the other hand, inside the Lamborghini.
Patrick glared at Sissi who was sitting at the passenger seat and still in shock. "Do you think jaywalking is fun?"
Sissi's shoulders trembled and she looked as if she had been scared out of her wits.
When Patrick saw this, he was upset and lit a cigarette. After a few puffs, he heard Sissi who was beside him talked in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry that
you came all the way here for nothing."
Patrick placed his hand which was holding the cigarette outside the car window. He flicked the cigarette ash off and said in a cool tone, "It's fine. It was just a waste of time. When I received the call, I thought I'd have to come here to collect your corpse!"
Sissi was speechless.
The reason she rushed out of from the furniture town regardless of anything was because that she was really angry. As a result, when she walked through the path, she accidentally ran into a red light and was brushed by a car.
If she did not reacted in time and took a step back, she would have been lying at the hospital at this moment.
When Patrick saw that she was still shivering, he asked, "Did you get hurt?"
Sissi bit her lip. "No..."
Patrick heaved a secret sigh of relief. Then he said mockingly, "You are fine but the BMW that nearly hit you was wrecked now."
Sissi's face suddenly turned red out of embarrassment. "I didn't expect that he actually ran into the car beside him to avoid me.."
Patrick corrected her and said, "It's not just a collision. It's a series of collisions. The total maintenance fee cost a bomb!"
