Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 727

After she counted with her fingers, it seemed that her last period was a month and a half ago...

At first, she thought it was because of the enormous pressure she was under lately. And with too much work paired with the irregular intake of meals, that pushed her period off-schedule. And because of that, Amelia did not pay much attention to it.

She kept believing in that theory right until when she vomited just a moment ago...

Only then did Amelia realise the severity of the problem!

Could she be... pregnant?

Amelia's heart thumped as she gawked at herself in the mirror.

Staring into her reflection's eyes, the both of them cried out simultaneously, "Gosh, am I a joke to you?"

At the same time, at Roxxon Corporation.

"Patrick, why didn't you come yesterday?"

Hearing the woman's sad complaint on the other side of the phone, Patrick raised his hand to rub at this forehead and replied slowly, "I had something urgent to deal with."

Hearing him, the whining voice became even more sorrowful, "Do you know that because of your refusal, I had no choice but to meet that scum? And he... he did that kind of sh*t to me again!"

Patrick's eyes darkened. After a while, he continued to comfort her with a soft voice, "Don't worry. I'll handle this."

Her voice was filled with hope instantly. "How are you going to do that?"

"By making him crawl back to where he came from," replied Patrick.

She spiralled into a state of anxiety right away at the sound of that. "No way! What should I do if he tells my parents that I was the one who wanted the divorce and that I came back to Northville behind their backs?"

Patrick pondered for a moment before responding calmly, "Divorce isn't a thing to feel ashame of. I'll bring you back to your parents' house this weekend, and you'll explain everything that happened to them on your own initiative."

Before he could finish his sentence, the voice rejected flat out, "No! If my dad finds out I'm back in Northville, he'll for sure beat me to death!"

The volume of Patrick's voice rose slightly at this. "Sissi, calm down! You're their daughter! No matter what, they still love you! To top it off, your dad is a

very affable person."

Sissi sobbed. "Is there no other way to do this?"

Patrick encouraged her, saying, "You can't hide the truth from them forever. You should face the reality as early as you can!"

After a long while, Sissi's tense voice sounded through the speaker again. This time, there was confidence in her tone. "Well, as long as you're by my side... There's nothing I'm afraid of!"

After the call with Sissi, Patrick then dialled to a lawyer who he was familiar with.

The call was quickly connected.

After greeting each other politely, Patrick changed the topic and said, "Sir, there's something I wish to ask you for help."

The lawyer then replied, "Mr. Hopper, please go ahead!"

"I have a... friend whose ex-husband is harassing her and using their private photos to blackmail her. How do you think this matter should be resolved by law?"

The lawyer responded right away, "Mr. Hopper, your female friend can totally entrust me to send her a lawyer's letter to her ex-husband. I think, if her ex-husband acknowledges the law, he should realize the asperity of the matter."

Patrick then thought for a moment before adding,

"But there's one problem..."
