Chapter 640 How Did This Happen
Hector sighed. “I won't let him die.”
In response, Liam comforted, “Mr. Lowen is a lucky man. He'll be fine.” The fact that he survived last
night's surgery is enough of an indication of that. I'm still frightened whenever I recall the situation from
last night. John was right to punch me. If I hadn't been a busybody and summoned Mr. Lowen back, he
wouldn't have ended up like that.
He touched his cheek, which was still swollen. Besides that, his eye was bruised.
It was then Alice noticed his injury. “What happened to your face, Liam?”
Liam was too embarrassed to admit the truth, so he lied, “I tripped last night by accident.”
Alice nodded. “You need to be careful, young man. You should visit a doctor later to get a checkup, just
in case.”
Then, she thought about Patrick and sighed.
When the group arrived at Patrick's ward, he was still in a coma.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe good news was that he had been transferred from the ICU to an ordinary ward, meaning he had
survived the critical period. All that was left was for him to wake up, which was still uncertain.
Hector glanced at his grandson from afar and almost fell.
Meanwhile, Alice straight up passed out. Liam hurriedly grabbed her before she dropped to the ground
while John steadied Hector.
“You must stay strong, Old Mr. Lowen. Mr. Lowen needs his family's encouragement,” said John as he
settled Hector in a chair.
Hector was getting emotional but calmed down after he reminded himself that if he collapsed too, the
Lowen family would truly be done for.
Concurrently, Alice was carried to the neighboring ward to rest. She even received an IV drip.
Initially, the old couple was fine when they learned of Patrick's fate.
However, when they actually saw their grandson being stabbed full of tubes and surrounded by medical
equipment, they lost their cool.
As their hearts ached terribly, their bodies failed them.
When Kevin witnessed that scene, he couldn't help but glance at Patrick again. If we hadn't followed
him that day, all Old Mr. and Mrs. Lowen would see right now is a corpse.
Suddenly, Felicia arrived in a hurry. Upon spotting the unconscious Patrick, she strode toward him.
“What happened to him?”
Kevin didn't expect she would come.
After wiping her tear away, she arrived at Old Mr. Lowen's side. “What happened to Patrick, Old Mr.
Lowen?” He seems to be in a terrible condition. His head is wrapped in gauze, and his body is
connected to a bunch of tubes as well as equipment.
Hector was the one who summoned her there. Initially, the old couple was going to attend Gwendolyn's
wedding yesterday. After all, the Lowen family would eventually become in-laws with the Ashton family.
Therefore, they had to attend the wedding of the Ashton family's daughter.
However, Alice felt ill, so she didn't want to go. Hector was worried about her and kept her company at

Sighing, Hector replied, “We don't know the details. I think something was growing inside his brain, but
he didn't let any of us know.”
No one dared to inform the old couple that Patrick had taken a bullet to the head because it was related
to Gwendolyn.
If Patrick were to sustain permanent damage or die, the old couple would blame Gwendolyn for it.
Everything was truly a chaotic mess. Gwendolyn had gotten married, while Patrick's fate remained
unknown.
Kevin scanned through the reports before speaking to the doctor and nurse. Then, he approached the
rest. “No need to worry about Old Mrs. Lowen, Old Mr. Lowen. She was only overwhelmed by her
sorrow, resulting in her blood pressure rising a bit too high. The doctor has already injected a nutrient
solution and medicine that'll lower her blood pressure into her IV drip. She'll be fine once she wakes
up.”
Felicia silently sobbed. Patrick must wake up! If he dies, then I'll lose to Gwendolyn! If the Lowen family
goes down, the Surrington family will reign supreme. When that time comes, my status in the Ashton
family will be even lower than Gwendolyn's!
