Patrick left in the middle of the night... He went away alone.

Amelia glared at Huxton, who had trapped her in the house, and said angrily, "Aren't you loyal to your master? Why didn't you stop him when he was about to risk his life?" Huxton replied calmly, "Sir's capable. He'll definitely return safely. Just wait patiently, madam."

Amelia said gloomily, "No matter how capable he is, he is alone after all."

The next day, at night.

Amelia was waiting anxiously in front of the TV. When she saw the reports about the village, she immediately put the remote control down and listened to the reporter's report.

"Dear audience and friends, what you are seeing now is the image taken from an aerial view. You can see that a large area of landslide collapsed on the main road leading into Timothy Village. Now, the local government is organizing a group of authorities to conduct investigative work. Since the area of the collapse is too wide and it's snowing, repairing would be difficult... Not to mention that the village is surrounded by mountains and trees, it is also inconvenient for the helicopter to land in the village. This has also caused the rescue to be much more difficult."

With the reporter's narration and recording from high ground. Everything was a mess behind the reporter, people wearing construction hats were busy walking around with various tools on their backs.

Right at this moment, Amelia noticed a tall man who was wearing a safety helmet who had his back facing the camera. Almost subconsciously, she blurted out, "Patrick!"

As if sensing something, the man with his back to the camera suddenly turned and showed his face. No matter how dirty his face was, his eyes were still as tenacious as before.

The reporters misunderstood Patrick's extraordinary outlook. They thought he was a leader of the town but when they pass him the microphone, they found out that he was the president of Roxxon Corporation Because he received the news that his staff was trapped in the village, so he came over by helicopter and brought along his company's workforce and supplies.

Just when Amelia was staring at the TV, Dr. Scarlett's voice came with concern. "Please take

your medicine first."

"Thank you." After Amelia took the bowl over, she was still starring at Patrick with concern. It was until when the interview was over and the camera moved away from Patrick that she move her eyes from the TV and drank the medicine.

Dr. Scarlett saw her drinking to her heart's content, she could not help but asked curiously, "Aren't you not used to this smell?"

"I promised him that I would take good care of my body." Amelia wiped her mouth and said.

Dr. Scarlett sat down beside her and said with a smile, "It turned out to be the power of love."

At this time, the landline beside Amelia rang. Amelia thought it was Patrick, so she immediately picked up the phone and said excitedly, "Hello!"

As soon as she picked it up, she heard a vicious voice. "Amelia, how can you let Patrick go to such a dangerous place?"

Amelia was stunned. "Mom?"

Eve said fiercely on the other side, "Don't call me mom, I don't have such a malicious daughter-in-law like you!"

Amelia went blank and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

Eve said aggressively, "Don't pretend to be innocent!

Did you instigate Patrick to go to Timothy Village?"

Amelia said innocently. "No, I didn't."

Eve said, "You didn't? Patrick had lived a luxurious life since young. He had never suffered any pain. If I hadn't seen the news on TV, I wouldn't have known that he went to such a dangerous and dirty place!" "Didn't you hear from the news? Roxxon's staff is trapped in Timothy Village and one of them is Patrick's chief secretary! He is worried about his subordinates. What's wrong with him going over there?" "What's wrong?" Eve flew into a rage. "It's not a place that he should go! What if Patrick accidentally slipped and fell down? What if the weather gets colder and made him sick? Have you ever thought about that? Huh!"

Amelia felt a headache and said, "Why do you always think about negative things?"

Eve said in a sharp voice, "Because his my son! He's just your husband, so my worries definitely more than yours!"

Amelia said gloomily, "As you said, Patrick is my husband. I believe that no one is more worried about him than me! Before he went out, I had already advised him and even wanted to go with him, but he didn't agree..."

Eve interrupted her. "Come on! Who knows whether you're telling the truth or not? I've never seen a wife much more incompetent than you!"

Amelia was at loss for words.

Eve said fiercely, "Amelia, If anything happens to Patrick, I won't spare you!"

Amelia kept holding her breath of anger, but finally, she could not bear it anymore and swore, "If anything happens to Patrick, you don't have to do anything. I will die with him!"

At the end of her words, she slammed the phone and her face turned pale with anger.

Dr. Scarlett, who was on the side, asked, "Wow, you're so angry. Who are you quarrelling with?"

Amelia turned back and glanced at Dr. Scarlett. "Who else could it be? Patrick's mother!"

Dr. Scarlett paused for a moment and said, "That's...your mother-in-law?"

"Yes." Amelia sat down on the sofa and pulled a pillow into her arms and rubbed it unhappily. "I was worried about Patrick's safety and she still make so many terrifying assumptions for me. Isn't that rubbing salt on my wound?"

Dr. Scarlett pressed her lips together and said with hesitation, "But I heard that... Isn't Miss

Watson famous for her good character?"

"Good?" Amelia pouted. "That's because none of you had a deal with her when she was in a mood for trouble. Have you ever seen a spoiled brat?

Dr. Scarlett made a sound of acknowledgment.

Amelia said sorrowfully, "Eve is much more difficult to deal with than a spoiled brat."

Dr. Scarlett patted her shoulder sympathetically. "Well, you should be glad that you didn't stay with her, otherwise you two would have fought each other now." Amelia breathed a sigh of relief and said with disappointment, "Dr. Scarlett, I'm so worried about Patrick. It would be great if I could go with him."

Dr. Scarlett suggested, "Then you can try and give him a call."

Amelia hesitated. "Will I disturb him by calling him?"

"Well, then send him a text message."

"Okay then!" Amelia picked up the phone on the table and sent Patrick a message.

After a while, she received his reply. There were only two words, "I'm fine."

Amelia felt relieved and replied, "Call home when you have time."

After a long time, she received one word 'OK'.

Amelia pouted and thought, "What's this? He's so

stingy. Can't he reply with a few more words?"

But then thinking about the news on TV, Amelia just could not get angry. Patrick was so busy that it could consider good enough for him to reply her text message.
