Chapter 158
Eve suddenly caught out the detail in Daniel's words and said, "Then can you tell me why did you take her back to your house after sending her electrical bicycle to the garage?"
Daniel said calmly as he looked at Eve's doubtful eyes, "She is my fiancee's sister. Can't I occasionally contact her? Besides, I found that her waist was injured and painful. If I sent her home, no one could take care of her. If I sent her to the hospital, I was afraid that her body couldn't bear the complex checkup. So I could only take her back to my apartment first and call a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to treat her. If you don't believe me, I can call the doctor and ask him to come immediately. You can ask him personally."
Eve didn't care about Amelia's injury at all. She said, "But your relationship is special. Shouldn't you stay away from each other?"
Daniel replied, "Special relationship? I know what you mean, but it's just a matter of the past. She is my family now, how can we not see each other just because of a little bit of resentment?"
Eve felt chilled in her heart. From the moment she got the photos, she was sure that she would only win.
Because in her heart, she had long been convinced that Amelia was a woman of loose morals!
Therefore, when things did not progress as she expected, Eve was flustered.
"Daniel, since Amelia was injured, why didn't you contact Patrick? Why did you make the decision on your own?"
George was a little dissatisfied with Daniel. If Patrick was there, the photos would not have been taken and Amelia couldn't have been wronged by Eve.
"Dad, that's because..." Daniel said helplessly, "Amelia didn't allow me to contact Patrick."
"Do you hear that!" Eve became excited again when she heard Daniel's words. She pointed at Amelia's head and scolded her, "How could you say that you won't rekindle the past romance with Daniel! You were clearly afraid that Patrick would find out the love affair between you two!"
Amelia pursed her lips. She couldn't stand Eve's unreasonable slander anymore.
"Amelia." Patrick's face looked gloomy against the light. He asked Amelia in a low voice, "How did you get hurt?"
Amelia smiled bitterly and said, "That day in the living room, you pushed me. I fell to the ground and got hurt accidentally."
Patrick's face froze as he carefully recalled if he had missed something. Then, he suddenly remembered Amelia's violent body reaction...
She asked him to go to the hospital to see Cynthia first... On the day of the physical examination, she walked in a strange posture... And the strange smell of Chinese herbal medicine that he had just smelled in the bathroom...
No wonder...
Patrick felt a dull pain in his chest, as if he had been punched by someone. However, Eve was still agitating him, "Patrick, maybe she deliberately made wounds on her body in order to prevent the scandal from being revealed. You'd better not be fooled!"
Amelia was speechless. If she was such smart, she wouldn't have been taken photos of her and Daniel by the private detective.
Patrick thought for a while and said, "It's very simple to know if her waist injury is an old one or a new one. I'll call the Central Hospital and ask about it."
A few minutes later. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Mr. Hopper, you want me to check on Amelia's health condition. Listen carefully. She is healthy, but there is a soft tissue wound on her waist. From the degree of swelling, the wound was caused 24 hours ago."
Patrick put on speakerphone to make sure that everyone could listen to the physical examination report clearly.
"Thank you, doctor." Patrick said and then hung up the phone. His expression became more and more serious.
Soft tissue injury...
It was a slow process to recover from this kind of injury, but in the past two days, the workload of the sales department had increased rapidly and she had to work overtime at night.
D*mn it! If Eve didn't ask Amelia to go home for confrontation, was she going to hide her injury from him forever?
Patrick looked at her with complicated emotions in his eyes, "Why didn't you tell me that you had a car accident?"
Amelia said with sadness, "You were taking care of Cynthia."
What a simple but heart-wrenching reason!
Patrick closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he said firmly to Eve, "Mom, I trust Amelia."
Eve was awkward, but she could say nothing to refute.
If the injury was caused in less than 24 hours, she could say that Amelia created an injury deliberately after receiving the phone call, but...
Eve sat down on the sofa, panting, like a defeated peacock.
"Dad, mom." Patrick turned to look at George and Alice with sincerity in his eyes, "It was me who made Amelia injured and didn't know it in time. Please forgive me."
George didn't want to stay here any longer. With the help of Alice, he got up and glanced down at Eve, "Since we've known the truth, we'll leave first. Goodbye."
Later, in front of everyone, George said softly to Amelia, "If you can't live a comfortable life in the Hopper Family, you can come home at any time."
Amelia stared at George's increasingly old face and suddenly realized that no matter how time went by, George would always be her most indestructible backing.
After George, Alice and Daniel left, Amelia sat up straight and raised her eyebrows slightly. She looked reserved and arrogant, making Eve hate her so much.
Howard felt so guilty for the Ramsay Family because of what Eve had done. He said to Eve coldly, "You are not allowed to find another detective to follow Amelia anymore, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Eve opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw that Patrick was staring at her with disapproval, she could only nod unwillingly.
However, Amelia said discontentedly, "Mom, you should apologize to me."
"What?" Eve couldn't believe what she had heard.
Amelia said calmly, "It's not right for you to send people to investigate my private life without my permission. What's more, you slandered me just because of a few photos. If you are not my mother, it is reasonable for me to sue you in the court."
"How dare you!" Eve was so excited that she almost jumped up, "How dare you threaten me? Just sue me!"
Amelia watched her crazy look with cold eyes. The more excited Eve was, the happier she became. Since she married into the Hopper Family, Eve had embarrassed her many times. But this time, she couldn't stand her anymore!
"Mom, I respect you as my elder and have tolerated you many times. But when you invited my family here and showed them these photos, did you consider how they would feel? If you want to quarrel with me, I won't mind. My father is in poor health, but you stimulated him like this! What are you up to?"
