"Alas..." The secretary still wanted to ask something, but Sissi had rushed out of the door like a ghost.

At late night.

When her roommates were all asleep, the secretary secretly got out of bed, opened the door, and followed the night lights to Patrick's door. She took the phone and charger from him and made an 'ok' gesture. Then she ran back to her room.

The secretary did not know that Sissi who shared the same bed with her had woken up the moment she got out of bed.

The door was half-closed. Sissi got out of her bed, turned her body and leaned against the door.

Through the cracks of the door and the mottled night lights outside, Sissi saw the secretary reach out and took something from a vague figure.

Sissi returned to her bed when the secretary turned around so that the secretary would not suspect her.

The socket was just at Sissi's bedside. When the secretary fell asleep, Sissi opened her eyes and found that Patrick's mobile phone was just in the place where she could reach.

After waiting patiently for the secretary to turn her body, Sissi stretched out her hand and lit up the phone screen.

After looking closely at the mobile phone's brand and model, Sissi's eyes were full of confusion. Was this really Patrick's phone? Why did he use such a lousy cell phone?

While thinking about it, Sissi looked at the secretary carefully. Then she pulled the phone out of the charger gently and hid in the bed to check it.

At first, she clicked the inbox based on her intuition. Then a person named Amelia Ramsay suddenly appeared in her eyes which made her eyes dim.

As far as Sissi knew, Amelia was Patrick's hidden wife. They had just been married for less than half a year.

However, was Amelia really that important to Patrick? It was so important that he even pinned her text message at the top.

Although Sissi knew she should not have done this, she still thought that she had a right to check Patrick's privacy, just like what she had done before.

The latest messages related to Amelia remained at the same place three days ago. Amelia asked Patrick to call home whenever he had time but Patrick just texted "Sure". He was really cold.

Sissi could not help chuckling.

Sissi's thumb and fingers continued to slide up. In addition to these few text messages, Patrick and Amelia did not really communicate with each other very much!

"He really doesn't love Amelia!" Sissi's thought.

"Then who did he love? Me?" Sissi's thought again.

Suddenly, Sissi clicked on Patrick's phone album and wanted to see if he still kept the photos of them together.

However, a password lock popped out and needed a four digits to unlock.

Sissi entered her birthday in a state of extreme excitement and expectation.

Did she succeed?

And she did!

Sissi was stunned for a few seconds and she almost screamed out. She knew that Patrick still had feelings for her! Otherwise, why would he use her birthday as a password? However, when she peeped into Patrick's photo album, which was full of Amelia's photos, Sissi's cheeks turned pale in an instant.

She checked the album over and over again and she found out that there was no photo of her!

"How could this be?" Sissi opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

The next day, early morning.

The secretary who knew nothing about Sissi's actions last night returned the phone to its owner. "Mr. Hopper, I've charged your phone. Please keep it."

Patrick glanced at her and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The secretary smiled and continued, "Mr. Hopper, I wonder if you're interested to walk around here. I can be your guide."

Patrick asked in low spirits, "Is there anything to look around here?"

The secretary said, "Mr. Hopper, you've been working on the rescue work outside for the past few days, and we haven't been idle inside. Well, the construction team has rebuilt the local primary school and our teachers have officially started to work from today. Do you want to go and guide them personally?"

Patrick thought that he had nothing to do now, so he nodded and said, "Show me the way."

At the Timothy Village's primary school.

The secretary led Patrick to a school building and introduced, "Ms. Roberts is the head teacher and she is also the first grade's Linguistic teacher. Why don't you come with me to the office to meet her?" Patrick swept his eyes over his secretary's face. "Ms. Roberts?"

"Yes, I've told you on the phone that a talented and virtuous female teacher is very suitable to be the head teacher. You probably have forgotten it."

The secretary smiled and kept leading Patrick to the office of the first grade.

Patrick felt a burst of annoyance for no reason at all. Especially when he was getting closer and closer to the office, he was even in a moment of absent-mindedness.

When the secretary saw Patrick was late to catch up, she could not help but ask, "Mr. Hopper, are you alright?"

Patrick calmed his thoughts and replied, "I'm fine."

When both of them were about to step into the office one after another, a voice suddenly came from the inside. "Sissi, what should I say when I introduce myself to the children later? Alas... I don't feel anything when I teach the city kids. However, I am nervous when I'm here to teach the village kids."

Sissi?

Patrick became stiff and subconsciously looked into the room. He saw a woman standing up from her chair with her back facing him. She picked up the textbook on the table and told the woman who sat next to her, "I know you are afraid that you will hurt the village kids' self esteem. Don't be nervous, just talk like what we discussed yesterday..."

Patrick listened to the beautiful voice and stared at the woman's elegant back. His chest heaved up and down. There seemed to be two flames hidden in his dark pupils that could burn the woman in front of him at anytime.

"Sissi..." He called out the name in a very low and extremely depressed voice. It was a name that he had loved deeply, hated deeply and tried to forget.

When Sissi heard someone calling her name, she instinctively turned around with the textbook in her arms. Then she only saw the secretary standing at the door.

After a pause, Sissi asked with a strange expression, "Ms. secretary, did you call me just now?"

Could it be an illusion? The one who called out her name was clearly a man's voice.

The secretary looked confused. She did not understand why Mr. Hopper turned around and left after calling Sissi's name.

When she heard Sissi's question, she subconsciously denied, "It's not me. It's Mr. Hopper..."

Ploop!

The textbooks were scattered all over the floor.

In the evening at the Land of Fragrance.

After Amelia went home from her workplace, she went to find Huxton and said seriously, "Huxton, I want to go and look for Patrick."
