When the secretary saw Patrick did not speak, she understood that he was not willing to go.

The secretary opened her mouth and was about to ask Gibson to go to visit Sissi alone. However, the door of Sissi's room suddenly opened and Sissi came out in a long white dress. Whether it was intentional or not, Sissi happened to look in their direction.

Before the secretary had time to say hello to her, Sissi's face was pale and she panting aggressively while she seemed would crumbling at any time.

The next second, Patrick suddenly appeared beside Sissi like a gust of wind and took Sissi into his arms.

The secretary rubbed her eyes. Was there anything problems with her eyes? Mr. Hopper actually hugged Sissi!

Even Sissi was mature and charming, she was not Amelia after all. How could Mr. Hopper rush to hug her?

When the secretary's thoughts were in a mess, Patrick who rushed to hold Sissi had released the woman in his arms without saying anything. He must had gone mad to run over to hold this

d*mned woman!

"Patrick..." When Sissi saw him turned and leave, she put her arms around his waist in a hurry. "Don't go!"

Patrick was froze when Sissi hugged him.

After a while, he ordered in a cold tone, "Let go of me!"

"I'm sorry..." Sissi leaned her face on Patrick's muscular back. Her tears kept streaming down the fabric of his suit and leaving a small patch on it.

"You don't have to say sorry because you don't even have the right to say that!" After saying this in a low voice, Patrick pulled Sissi's hands off his waist cruelly.

His expression was no different from usual. However, his trembling finger tips had revealed his unsettled mood.

Sissi stared disappointedly at her hands which had been pushed away and sobbed, "I know. You must hate me a lot."

When Patrick heard this, he suddenly turned and stared at her. "Since you know that I hate you, why do you still want to show up in front of me?"

Sissi looked at him with tears in her eyes and said pitifully, "I didn't... I have tried my best to avoid you..."

Patrick's eyes were as cold as ice. "Avoid me? Then why did you send your resume to my company?"

"I..." Sissi choked on her breath. After staring blankly for a few seconds, she was so ashamed that she wanted to hide in her room!

However, Patrick suddenly stuck out one of his legs and stopped her from closing the door. Sissi was so scared that she took two steps back. When Patrick saw that Sissi retreated, he pushed the door open.

Under Sissi's horrified gaze, Patrick entered the room in a dignified manner!

"Bang!" It was the sound of him slamming the door behind his back. The whole process was so vulgar and it was difficult for others to imagine it!

The secretary who saw this scene for the first time was completely confused. Why was Mr. Hopper behave like a lecher?

Gibson who stood beside asked strangely, "Hey! Wasn't that Miss Roberts just now? What's going on between her and Mr. Hopper?"

The secretary said casually, "Hmm. Mr. Hopper saw that Ms. Roberts was not feeling well, so he brought her back to her room to rest. Don't overthink."

Gibson noded.

The secretary rubbed her hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hopper may not be able to give a speech to the students in your school today. Is that okay?"

Gibson nodded regretfully and left.

In the room, Patrick's tall figure blocked the door unintentionally. He looked down at Sissi's pretty face which was still charming after all this while and said coldly, "You haven't answered my question yet." Sissi's eyes slightly flickered and she did not dare to look directly at Patrick's sharp gaze. She said, "When I send my resume, I didn't notice that it was your company..."

Patrick sneered, "Now that you know, why don't you just resign from me?"

"You!" Sissi asked desperately, "Do you have to be so cruel?"

Patrick narrowed his eyes and said bitterly, "Sissi, what did I say to you back then? As long as you leave, don't come back! Otherwise, I will definitely kill you! Be smart and leave here tomorrow. Then get out of my life forever!"

After he finished talking, he turned and opened the door with a cold face. He lifted his foot and prepared to leave.

"Patrick!" Sissi shouted his name with both remorse and affection.

The next second, Patrick heard the sound of something falling to the ground. He was stunned. He quickly turned his head and happened to see Sissi lying on the ground unconsciously.

He said indifferently, "Don't pretend, I won't be softhearted!"

Sissi still did not move after a while.

Patrick's fist were relaxed and grabbed tightly again. After a few rounds, Patrick cursed in a low voice. He bent down and picked Sissi up from the ground and placed her carefully on the bed. When he looked down and saw the pale looking woman on the bed was short of breath, he frowned more.

After a moment of hesitation, he raised his hand and placed it on her forehead. After feeling her abnormal body temperature, Patrick felt heart wrenching. It was not fatal but it should be very uncomfortable. Knock, knock, knock....

The secretary asked nervously at the door, "Mr. Hopper, are you and Sissi alright in there?"

Patrick took his hand away from Sissi's forehead. Then he stood up, came to the door and opened it with a casual face.

Under the secretary high attention on him, he said lightly, "She has a fever. Go and call the doctor who came along with me to check on her."

"Huh?" The secretary thought something serious was going to happen. However, she did not expect Patrick just talking about this.

Patrick's eyes turned cold when he saw the secretary staring at him blankly. "Why aren't you going yet?"

"Right away!" The secretary responded and turned to look for the doctor.

After that, Patrick went back to his room. He took his towel and a basin of cold water. Then he wet it and put it on Sissi's forehead's gently.

The room was quiet and sometimes Patrick's cold voice echoing in the room occasionally...

"Since you're gone, why do you come back again?"

"Since you're here for me, why don't you tell me the truth?"

"Sissi, can you be a little braver?"

"Sleep well. When you wake up, I hope to hear the truth from you."

The next day, afternoon.

When Amelia was helped by Huxton to enter Timothy Village, her legs were still wobbly. She said while she stuck out her tongue, "Huxton, I was really scared when I crossed the wooden bridge. It was more exciting than playing roller coaster."

When Huxton thought of the thrilling scene on the wooden bridge just now, he said with rare sympathy, "Madam, it's been a tough journey for you."
