Amelia pondered for a moment. They had to decide the real date for the wedding. So Alice had already set the date half a month later.
Second, she had to determine the wedding's budget. Next, she had to decide the wedding theme. Then, she had to prepare the bridal room, the customization of the wedding gown and other miscellaneous things. If there was no one to share the burden, Alice would definitely be exhausted if she had to pay attention to the details of the wedding and take care of her ill husband on her own.
If Alice were to collapse, would not the situation of her father be even worse?
Amelia gazed at Alice with clear eyes, "I can contact someone I know who works in a high-end clothing company to help with the wedding dress customization. You can just tell me Brittany's size. As for other things, as long as you ask, I will help you with all I can."
Alice's eyes turned red. She was touched and nodded, "Thank you, Amelia... thank you..."
"You're welcome. We will go and visit dad first." Amelia held Patrick's arm and whispered to him,
"Let's go!"
Half an hour later in the underground garage.
Amelia noticed Patrick did not speak at all after leaving the hospital. She knew it was because of Daniel's intimacy with her.
After sitting down, Amelia stared at the wound on his lips and took the initiative to ask, "Is there any bandage in the car?"
"..." Patrick was speechless.
Ignoring her? Amelia's lovely eyes turned and she suddenly said, "Just now, Daniel wanted to kiss me..."
"What did you say?" As soon as she finished her words, she heard Patrick's angry voice.
Glancing at his hand that was holding onto the steering wheel, it seemed like he wanted to strangle Daniel. Amelia ignored the danger and covered the back of his veiny hand. She said, "I haven't finished talking. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Did... he really kiss you?" He looked at Amelia's red lips. The shade on her lips was lighter compared to when she came here. Could it be...
In the suspicious eyes of Patrick, Amelia insisted, "I meant he 'wanted' to kiss me. It didn't mean that he really did it!"
Patrick raised his eyebrows and covered the back of
Amelia's head with his palm. He pulled her under his nose and said slowly, "How would I know that you're not lying to me by saying so?"
Amelia smiled adorably, "Then you can check out my mouth to see if there is another guy's smell in it."
Patrick could not tell whether to be happy or angry. He asked, "Are you this initiative in front of him as well?"
Amelia was lying sideway and put her arms around Patrick's neck. She smiled, "What if you are the only one in the world... are worth making my first move?"
Patrick's eyebrows moved and he said, "That is really my honor."
Eh? Did he believe it or not?
Amelia tugged at the back of his collar and said cutely, "Mr. Hopper, trust me. The relationship between me and Daniel is pure and clean."
"Why did you get so close with him?"
"Okay, I'm the one who is pure and clean."
"On the contrary, are you telling me that he still had a thing with you? I don't think so. You are the one that let him to take you to an empty ward! What do you want to play? The game of doctors and nurses?"
He had such sexy lips but why did he always say something so mean?
Amelia felt wronged and wanted to cry. He had said that it was natural for a husband to kiss his wife!
"Tell me, why do you want to help them?" Patrick adjusted his comfortable sitting posture and continued to question her.
Amelia shook her head. "I'm not helping them, I'm helping Aunty Alice. Oh! By the way, you said you would send someone to check Daniel's account. How did it go?"
Patrick was really efficient. "He applied for a loan from a bank using your company's name."
Amelia was shocked, "How is it possible? My father didn't have a stroke at that time!"
Patrick was not shocked. "Didn't your father approve this project? It's understandable that he allowed Daniel to apply loan using the company's name."
Amelia let out a sigh of relief,"... I totally forgot about it if you didn't mention it. This project was actually signed by my father on the contract, but I accidentally heard that Daniel took advantage of the project afterward..."
Patrick said lightly when he noticed Amelia wanted to speak but stopped, "This time I only investigated whether he had an illegal transaction. Talking about taking advantage of the project, it's all up to your company. I couldn't do anything about it."
Amelia could not help but feel a chill in her heart when she thought about how the upper echelons of the company all acknowledged Daniel's actions.
Patrick continued, "Since Daniel applied for a loan, then he followed the legal procedure. That's all up to him whether he used the loan money to foster relationship or doing business.
Amelia pursed her lips, "Patrick, what do you think... if I reveal Daniel's true identity to Aunt Alice, what would Aunt Alice do?" "If I were her, I would chose to endure," Patrick said unexpectedly.
Amelia murmured pitiyingly, "Endure?"
Patrick said calmly, "Well, even if we know Daniel's personality, The Ramsay Family has already reached a difficult situation. On the premise of internal and external troubles, let's solve the external problems first."
