Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 297

Amelia answered it, "Hello? What! Andrew is fighting with his classmates? Where is he now... Is he in the president's office? OK, I'll be there right away!"

Hanging up the phone, she met Granny Hopper's concerned eyes. Presumably, Granny Hopper had heard the content of the phone. Amelia simply said, "I am going to school now. Andrew has trouble!"

Amelia was so worried that she tried to play it cool, but instead, Granny Hopper said, "Don't panic, we're The Hopper Family!

In the principal's office of the Sofia Elementary School.

Amelia pushed her way through the door, not caring how many people were present in the office, she just wanted to make sure the kid wasn't hurt, "Andrew!

Everyone who heard the commotion couldn't help but focus their attention on the woman who burst in, her rude intrusion not fitting in with her elegant image.

Andrew squeezed out of a group of adults and looked up at Amelia with one eye covered on his left side, "Auntie Amelia, you're here..."

Amelia bent down to hold his face and said, "Andrew, put your hand down."

Andrew mumbled, "I'm fine."

Amelia was doubtful. "Put your hand down and let me have a look. Just one look."

Andrew pouted and put down her hand obediently in the end

His left eye used to be large and round, but now it is swollen and the skin around the eye has turned purple.

Amelia stared in shock as Andrew panicked, covered his bloated left eye, and whimpered, "Did I scare you?"

Both angry and heartbroken, Amelia turned to the others and asked, "Why is he like this!"

Maybe she was influenced by Patrick after being with him for a long time, but now she also has an intimidating sense of anger.

At that moment, a woman took a few steps forward with her son's arm in her hand and coldly confronted Amelia, "Look at my Bache's face and the bite marks on his hand. It's all your son's work! No..."

The woman stopped in mid-sentence and stared at Amelia with a frown, "You are not Andrew's mom. Who are you?"

Amelia said without hesitation, "I am his aunt!"

The woman sneered and said, "Aunt? Are you his nanny? Where are his parents? I want them to talk to me!"

Amelia said, "His parents are not in Northville."

The woman replied, "Then find someone who can be in charge to come over. At least he should have a blood relationship with Andrew!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

For the first time, Amelia hated the fact that she and Patrick were secretly married! Otherwise, she would have had the decency to admit she was Andrew's own aunt!

An old man with white hair took a few steps in front of Amelia and said, "I'm the principal of this school, and I'm here to advise you to get his relatives over here as soon as possible. The incident was Andrew's fault, and the class saw that Andrew started the fight..."

Amelia looked glum and said, "Please give me a moment to make a phone call."

The principal nodded and turned to reassure Bache who was more severely injured and his mother.

Amelia contacted Patrick, and as soon as the call came through, he asked, "I thought we were supposed to keep our distance? Why are you calling me during work hours?

That was not the time for a fight, Amelia said in a calm tone, "It's about Andrew, he got into a fight with a classmate at school today, can you come over here?"

"Address."

Amelia quickly gave Patrick the address and he hung up...

Ignoring Patrick's sudden hang-up, Amelia turned to the principal and shook the phone at the woman, "I've asked Andrew's uncle to come over. By the way, does your school have an infirmary? I want to take Andrew to get his injuries checked out."

The principal agreed and wanted them to take the injured children to the infirmary and put Andrew's classroom teacher in charge of directions.

On the way, Amelia’s hand kept squeezing Andrew's small hand tightly to make Andrew feel safe.

"Andrew," she lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you hit him??"

Andrew's whole body stiffened did not speak.

Amelia tried to guide him, "If you don't tell me, how can Uncle Patrick and I help you?"

Andrew kept his eyes glued to a certain place and remained silent.

Amelia sighed softly, after these two days together, she had a drastic change in her perception of Andrew and Ashley's personalities.

Ashley may seem mischievous and clever, but she also apologized immediately when she should.

Andrew was apparently honest, obedient, and not easily angered in everyday life, but he suddenly became stubborn when something special happens to him.

At the infirmary, the woman pointed to Bache's injuries and said to the school nurse, "Doctor, I demand that you give my son a certificate of injury!"

Amelia knew that the woman had meant to say what she had heard. She looked down and silently looked at Andrew, but found him looking at Bache with hatred, and Bache felt and ducked behind his mother.

Another school nurse examined Andrew's left eye carefully and said to Amelia with a hard look on her face, "I suggest you take him to the hospital."

Amelia was distressed, "Doctor, you should clean his eyes first, we have to stay at the school for a while."

"Okay." The school nurse nodded and disinfected Andrew's eye before applying an ice pack to it...

Amelia observed Andrew with his lips closed and a look of determination that greatly affected his previously lovely image in her mind.

Amelia softly asked, "Where's your sister?"

Andrew finally spoke, "In the classroom."

Amelia didn't give up, "Why the fight?"

Andrew was silent again.

The school nurse cleaned Andrew's left eye three times in the span of twenty minutes. After the last cleaning, the school nurse applied a thin layer of antiswelling water around Andrew's left eye, "It itches a little, but don't rub your eye.

Andrew did not blink his eyes and said, "OK."

Amelia said with pity, "If it's itchy, tell me. I'll help you."

"Are you guys done yet! It's time to deal with this!"

The women were already impatient because Bache was basically a superficial wound, and the school nurse could just give him some medicine, not as much trouble as Andrew's side, where the nurse had to avoid the eye to treat the injury.
