Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 772

The corner of his lips twitched. Was his desire that evident that even Eve was able to hear it through the phone?

What Patrick did not realize was that the tone he usually used with Eve was steady, unlike this moment, when his breathing was getting heavier.

So, of course, she would think he had caught a cold!

"Patrick, hello? Why aren't you saying anything?"

In the face of Eve's question, Patrick had no choice but to answer, "I do have a little cold."

As soon as he answered her, Patrick glared at the culprit who caused him this trouble. Though it looked like the intent in his eyes was anger, he was mostly plaintive about it.

While Amelia was feeling sorry for the state of her clothes, she caught Patrick staring at her with fury. She then returned a look at him in confusion, having no idea why he was making such a bitter expression at her.

Was Eve speaking ill of her to Patrick?

While the gears in Amelia's mind whirred, Patrick was listening to Eve's greetings and consolation.

"Patrick, how do you take care of yourself when I'm not by your side? This can't be it. I'll send a few family doctors to Land of Fragrance right away..."

"Mom, it's just a mild cold. You don't have to trouble yourself with so many things!"

"You've been stubborn since you were young! Listen to how nasally your voice sounds! Your cold sounds severe. No wonder you didn't pick up my call earlier. Were you lying in bed, so tired that you couldn't even open your eyes?"

Eve's logic was giving Patrick a slight headache. "I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, I'll go back to the main mansion later, and you can take a closer look at me then."

Eve listened to him speak and felt that Patrick's nasal voice was not as heavy as before. She then breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Fine. Since you're not sick, then come here right away. I haven't seen you fo a long time. I missed you."

Patrick gave her a reply, then ended the call as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
