Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1403

When Patrick saw Florence following at the back of Amelia, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. His solemn expression immediately sent a shiver down

Florence's spine.

Patrick's gaze then drifted away and fell on Amelia. His questionable look seemingly asked her why Florence would be there.

"Well, Florence already knew the cause of the car accident. Don't get me wrong. It was not me who told her. Perhaps you can ask her in details later." With that said, Amelia excused herself to the washroom. She then left the ward temporarily to make space for the two siblings.

The brother and sister of the Hopper Family fell into a momentary silence as soon as Amelia left. Florence lowered her gaze and played with her fingers before she broke the silence nervously, "Patrick..."

Patrick replied friendly, "Come over and have a seat."

"Okay!" Florence immediately came forward. It was only then she noticed the gauze on Patrick's forehead. She could not help feeling sorry for him as she asked, "Patrick, what happened to your head?"

Patrick reached out to touch his forehead before he replied carelessly, "Oh, I hit my head earlier. I already had the wound stitched."

Florence exclaimed secretly, "The accident must be terrific! How could he speak as if it was not a big deal?"

She glanced at him worriedly and asked again, "Um... How's your injury? Was it serious? Is it going to make you even more retarded?"

Patrick struggled to hold back his temper. Instead of chasing her away from his ward, he asked expressionlessly, "By the way, how did you know that it was Mom who set up the accident? It couldn't be that she confessed to you all in a sudden."

Florence nodded at first before she shook her head.

Patrick narrowed his eyes at her as he demanded for an answer again, "Is that a yes or no?

It was true that she learned the truth from Eve herself. However, Eve had never intended for her to know. It was Florence who overheard the argument. Hence, she was not sure how to answer Patrick's question.

At the sight of Florence staring at him blankly, Patrick could not help but frown. He asked, "Florence, you're not here to daydream, are you?"

As she came back to her senses, Florence hurriedly said, "I'll tell you now. Since I had nothing ahead this morning, I decided to tail Mom to Land of Fragrance. Guess what happened?"
