Saying this, Cynthia's father burst into tears, "Fortunately, Boss Peng has died. It's fair."
"I'll be responsible for Cynthia." Patrick suddenly said in a deep voice.
Cynthia's father looked at Patrick in shock and said, "You don't have to do this. We're overwhelmed to accept it!"
Patrick made up his mind and said word by word, "Cynthia become like this because of me. I am not an ungrateful person. In the future, I will treat her as my own sister and take care of her. I will never refuse what she asks me to do."
Outside the ward, Amelia suddenly got up from the row chair uneasily. She looked inside through the window, only to see that Patrick was talking to Cynthia's father.
Judging from the surprised and flattered expression of Cynthia's father, Patrick must have promised him something.
As for what it was, Amelia guessed that it might be related to the follow-up treatment costs.
After another half an hour, Patrick came out of the ward.
Amelia cheered up and walked to him. Before she could ask, Patrick said directly, "The gunshot wound may cause Cynthia to be barren."
Amelia felt sympathetic to Cynthia in her heart. As a woman, she understood this kind of feeling!
She asked with concern. "Then... what's the chance of recovery?"
Patrick shook his head slowly, which meant that he didn't know.
Amelia forced a smile and said, "The medical technology is so advanced now. We should never give up."
"That's exactly what I thought." Patrick said blandly.
He wanted to send Cynthia to see famous doctors after she was recovered. Whether at home or abroad, as long as there was a chance, he would encourage Cynthia to have a try.
"Do you want to go home and rest?" Seeing Patrick's tired face, Amelia suggested.
Patrick glanced at his wristwatch in a hurry and said, "It's almost eight o'clock. There is a customer meeting in the company today. I must attend it."
"But you..." Amelia wanted to say that Patrick was tired, but he had already left before she finished her words. She shrugged helplessly.
In the sales department, Roxxon Corporation.
After Amelia pulled up the zipper of her skirt in the change room, she felt dizzy and almost fall down. Fortunately, she pressed the wall beside her with her palm in time.
"I really should eat some breakfast." She thought. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
It was only eight o'clock, and it was not time to eat in the stuff canteen. However, she was really not in the mood to buy breakfast outside deliberately.
Amelia tried her best to cheer up and walked out of the change room. She started to be busy with work to ignore the sense of hunger.
At this time, a security guard suddenly came her from the door, "Madam Amelia Ramsay, here is your parcel."
"Okay, coming."
Amelia felt strange. She didn't shopping online recently. Did Hobart send her some rare flowers again?
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at the kaffir lily on the window. The orange-red umbrellashaped petals were hanging down. Kaffir lily was too expensive but too delicate. It must be watered everyday.
While thinking about it, Amelia came to the door and asked, "What is it?"
The security guard said honestly, "I don't know. The box was sealed when it was delivered. I think it's better for you to open it in person."
"Thanks, give it to me." Amelia took the square box from the security guard and shook it. It was quite heavy.
When Amelia returned to her seat with the box in her hand, Doris came in happily with a set meal of McDonald's in her hand. Amelia's stomach begun to growl when she smelled the aroma of food with her back to Doris.
Seeing that Amelia was opening the parcel with an utility knife, Doris asked enviously, "Amelia, what's in it? Is it a gift from Hobart again?"
"I don't know either." Amelia sped up her movements. She opened the box and found that there were 12 bottles of lemon wine printed with the brand "Dream" inside. Those bottles were carefully separated by foam boards in case of damage during transportation.
"Wow!" Doris's eyes lit up. She thought that Amelia was so capable that even such famous wine merchant sent her wines.
Amelia felt warm in her heart as her fingertips gently touched those bottles. She didn't expect that Ryan actually remembered this.
Doris drooled and said, "Amelia, it's said that the effects of lemon wine are much better than that of red wine. You're really lucky to get these wines."
Amelia understand what Doris meant. She took out a bottle from the box and generously gave it to Doris, "Haven't you been in love recently? Take it back and enjoy it."
"Thank you so much!" Doris didn't refuse, because she knew that it was not Amelia's polite remarks.
However, she thought that she should give something to Amelia as a return present.
"Gulp."
Amelia's stomach growled.
Doris immediately understood. She put the set meal on Amelia's table and said, "Would you like to eat with me?"
Hearing this, the embarrassment on Amelia's face disappeared, she smiled gratefully and said, "Okay."
In the president's office on the 18th floor.
The secretary knocked on the door, and Patrick let her in after a long time.
Opening the door, the secretary gently put the second cup of coffee on Patrick's table and said, "Mr. Hopper, Meggie's father called five minutes ago and asked if you have time to see him."
Patrick rubbed his tired eyebrows. He almost forgot that he had fired Meggie yesterday, "Tell him that I'm very busy and have no time to see him right now."
"Okay." The secretary said and left.
At the same time-
In the independent office, Meggie cried loudly to her father, "Dad, please. No matter what, I must stay in Roxxon and stay by Patrick's side!"
Her father doted on her so much, so he hurriedly said, "Although you did something wrong, but it's hateful of Patrick to fire you. Good girl, don't worry. I will personally ask Patrick to give me an explanation!"
Hearing this, Meggie raised her crying face and said angrily, "Dad, I think it must be someone who was driving a wedge between me and Patrick, so he made this decision. Otherwise, how could he change his mind so suddenly? He loved me so much!"
"Meg, who do you think is playing tricks behind your back?"
Meggie hesitated for a moment and then said ferociously, "It must be Amelia from the sales department! She was jealous that Patrick loved me, so she said something bad about me in front of Patrick and made him misunderstand me."
At this moment, her father received a polite reply from Patrick's secretary, "I'm so sorry. Mr. Hopper is busy this morning. I'm afraid he won't have time to see you."
