Kevin pressed Estelle against the wall and kissed her for a long time. When he finally let go of her, his
eyes were still bloodshot, and he held her small face tightly with his long fingers. “Little one, hurry up
and grow up.”
If she were of legal age, he would have devoured her tonight.
Estelle's gaze looked misty as she was kissed, and tears welled up in her eyes. She answered, “I'm
already an adult.”
With that, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Kevin had the urge to curse and disregard everything. He truly didn't want to care anymore. However,
because he liked this girl, he had to put her first and control himself.
On her eighteenth birthday, he would definitely settle the score with her doubly.
He bit her ear gently and said, “I'll let you off today, but on your birthday, you won't be so lucky.”
After that, he stepped back and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
It was only then that Estelle remembered that she had just answered a call using Patrick's phone which
he had dropped at the entrance of the emergency room.
At that time, she and Kevin hurried back to the hospital. While Kevin rushed into the emergency room
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto save Patrick, she waited outside and spotted the phone lying at the entrance.
She picked up the phone and put it in her bag, intending to give it back to Patrick when she saw him
later.
Little did she expect that the phone would ring while she was waiting in Kevin's office, and the caller ID
was Gwen.
There was only one word, and it was likely a nickname that Patrick had for the other person.
As she looked toward the ground, Estelle saw the phone lying there.
She picked it up and found that the phone was broken.
She then said, “Mr. Chavez, Patrick's phone rang just now. It's all your fault for pulling me into a kiss.
Now, his phone is broken. You should compensate him.”
Estelle was dressed in her school uniform, and her long straight hair draped over her shoulders. She
stared at him with her big, innocent, and watery eyes.
Kevin took the phone and asked, “Pat's phone?”
Patrick's unexpected arrival caused Kevin to hastily make his way over as the latter had been spending
time with Estelle outside. After Kevin provided him with some treatment, he was now lying in the ward.
He wondered what had happened to Patrick. Patrick's emotions were so intense that his blood was
flowing too fast, causing the bullet to shift slightly.
Just the thought of that bullet in Patrick's body gave Kevin a severe headache.
He met with his senior, and they studied the surgical plan together, but it was too challenging.
They had to keep doing the practice simulation over and over again because that area had a high
concentration of blood vessels and nerves, and any slight mistake could result in death.
Seeing his distressed expression, Estelle nudged him with her shoulder. “Kevin, are you listening to
me? Or are you unwilling to compensate him? I can't afford to buy him a phone. My monthly allowance
isn't enough.”
As the beloved daughter of the Blenheim family, Estelle certainly wasn't short of money. She was just
acting coy with Kevin.

Kevin hugged her and said, “Babe, I'll take care of this. Don't worry.”
In fact, in their circle, the legendary Patrick was not someone to mess with, so it was normal for Estelle
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto be afraid of him.
It was only then that Estelle remembered how late it was. “Oh, it's already ten o'clock. I need to go
home now.”
Kevin also realized that it was quite late. Estelle needed to be home by midnight because there was a
curfew at her house.
“Let me give you a ride home,” he offered.
After leaving Kevin's office, they passed by Patrick's ward and went inside.
John was inside, and when he saw Kevin, he stood up and called out to the latter, “Mr. Chavez.”
Kevin nodded slightly as he looked at Patrick who had fallen asleep and relaxed his furrowed brow,
indicating that the pain had subsided.
“Here's his phone. It's broken, but I'll send a new one over tomorrow,” said Kevin.
John accepted it. He was Patrick's right-hand man who was in charge of his shady businesses.
Kevin walked to the bedside, checked the monitor to ensure that Patrick's condition had stabilized, then
said, “Let's go, Babe.”
It was only then that Estelle withdrew her gaze. She felt that Patrick was really as legendary as he was
said to be. Even when he was sick, his face remained cold and aloof.
