Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Frowning, Patrick said, "I admit that I didn't take care of your feeling. I was terrified by how my mom reacted in the phone, not to mention that you refused to open the door for me and let me talk face-to-face with you. How can you expect me to remain calm in a situation like this? Weren't I trying to figure out the whole scenario and understand you once you explained it to me earlier?"

Upon seeing that the anger in his voice was receding, she could not help but reply gently, "It's good to know that you understand it now. After all, I'm never the one who starts the conflict between Eve and me. I never meant to push her to her breaking point. I feel like it would be better for you to return a call to her and comfort her now. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Patrick nodded before he said, "You're right. I'll go and call her now."

Staring at his back upon his leaving, Amelia sank into her own thought as soon as she brought the door close gently.

She was blinded by his anger upon him breaking into his room which resulted in her overlooking the fear underlying in his ferocious gaze. And she began to wonder what kind of chaos Eve had made during her call to Patrick.

At the end of the day, Eve was never one who could make others' lives easier.

A moment later, Amelia heard Patrick knocking again.

Opening the door, all she could see was Patrick standing at the door. He gritted his teeth before he said, "I've made the call, but it was not mom but granny who picked up the call. She told me that mom was sent to her room by the servants probably after she was tired of sobbing."

"Granny?" Amelia felt like she was choked by this information. It her a long break before she could find her voice, "So granny is all this while at home. Your mom had lied to me."

Standing at the door still, Patrick looked at her in disbelief as he asked, "Don't you have other things in your mind right now except for this?"

She found his words amusing as she replied, "What else do you expect me to think of now?"

In the face of his silence, Amelia said expressionlessly, "Fine, if you insist for an answer, I can still tell you though. She had been causing chaos for one and a half hour before she felt exhausted. I'm impressed of her stamina."

There was no doubt that her reply sounded more like a sarcasm to Patrick.

He lowered down his head to the extent that he was inches away from her face. He then said insidiously, "You're always good at words. Why can't you at least say something comforting now?"

Amelia took a step back before she said, "I understand that you're not in a good mood because of Eve. But why can't you understand that I'm upset too because of her! I'm not under any obligation to comfort you!

And I think that I'm more worthy of sympathy than her do. After all, at least she still has such a filial son like you to stand up for her. As for me, I've always been a lone fighter in this battle."

Upon hearing this, Patrick could not help contending in frustration, "Who says that you're a lone fighter? It's my first time ever standing up to my mom for a woman the other day in The Hopper Mansion!"
