Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

In the hospital.

Receiving the cold stare from Patrick, the orthopedist gently put down Amelia's hand before he said, "Miss, there is a fracture found at the end of your radial bone which is approximately two centimeters away from your joint..."

Amelia, who was soaked in a cold sweat as a result of agonizing pain, asked, "Doctor, could you please explain to me in layman term?"

"To put it simply, you're having a fracture at your wrist."

"I'm aware of this. What's the treatment that I'm supposed to undergo?"

"As for treatment, you can opt between conservative treatment or surgery. However, I think the former one should suffice for your injury. You can choose between bone realignment, cast or splint to support your injured hand for some time. May I know which one do you prefer?"

Amelia blurted out without a doubt, "Bone realignment! I need the fastest way to recover!"

She would need her right hand to work. Hence, cast or splint which normally take a long recovery period

did not suit her.

The doctor gave her a tiny nod before he said, 'TH realign your bone now. Please bear with me a while as it will be very painful!"

"Alright." Her face was as pale as sheet due to the agonizing pain coming from her wrist. Even so, Patrick could tell from her eyes that she was stubborn as usual from her eyes as if she was not going to be defeated by such pain. The sight of this drove Patrick into furrowing.

Approximately twenty minutes later.

The moment when Amelia walked out from the consultation room, her right hand was dangling at one side with a thick layer of bandage wrapping on her wrist.

Besides, the bracelet gifted by Milton had already been removed from her hand by the doctor.

The doctor explained that the bracelet was too proximate to the fracture which might inevitably slow down the recovery of her hand. Hence, he strongly advised her into taking it down.

Patrick swept a glance at her injured hand.

He still remembered that the doctor had warned her to be extra cautious in the following days to avoid any unnecessary injury which might worsen her injury. A joint dislocation, at the worst case, would be a lot more difficult to treat and recover.

In an instant, he could not help feeling sorry for her.

Amelia was carrying her right arm with the help of her left hand warily. At the sight of this, Patrick came over to help but all she did was shoving him away.

Glancing up, her tone was distantly cold as she asked, "Isn't this what you want?" With that said, she turned around and leave without turning back.

Her coldness immediately lit up the fire underneath his chest. However, his anger was more appropriately directed toward his own self than her.

When both of them came to the ground floor of the hospital, Patrick could not help but reach out his hand to stop her.

He tried to make himself sound calm as he spoke, "You're already injured and I don't think that you have brought your purse along. Don't tell me that you're going to walk back to Apex Construction."
