Chapter 539 Poor Patrick
Patrick inclined his head in response. Kevin knew as well that Gwendolyn and Lucy were best friends,
so it was no surprise that she would show up at the hospital every day following Melanie's surgery.
At present, Rosalie, who was cleaning up the thermos she had brought, asked, “Who are you two
referring to?”
I can't understand what they're saying at all. It's like they're talking in riddles.
Kevin did not answer her. Instead, he pointed out impassively, “Rosalie, it's getting late. You should go
home.”
Rosalie ran her own company, which was why she could only swing by the hospital to see Patrick after
her work ended.
“Oh, Pat, how about I stay here and keep you company for the night?” she asked, paying no mind to
her brother's words as she blinked at Patrick expectantly.
Alas, Kevin did not give her a chance to wait for Patrick's answer. He pushed her out the door, saying,
“Let's go, Rosalie. Seriously, no woman throws herself at a man as you do.”
“Ow! What the hell, Kevin? That hurt! Besides, I don't mind throwing myself at Pat if it means I get to
stay and take care of him!”

for the sake of his health, don't show up here again.”
Despite being Rosalie's older brother, he had never been soft or indulgent with her, and she was used
to it. The world thinks of Kevin as a gentleman who respects and takes care of women, but I've never
experienced his chivalry first-hand.
At that thought, Rosalie pouted.
Standing inside the elevator, she took in the appearance of the man outside the elevator—his tall and
lanky build, his white lab coat, and his frameless glasses.
When Kevin looked aloof, there was almost a deadly, devilish charm to him.
Then again, there were others in the hospital who thought of him that way as well, though such a
perception did not change the fact that he was a remarkably talented doctor.
As the elevator doors closed, Kevin took out his phone and summoned the hospital's best burn
specialist over. Then, he strode toward the ward where Lucas was staying.
The moment he entered Lucas' ward, he saw Gwendolyn happily chatting away with the latter. The
both of them looked like they were enjoying each other's company.
“These grapes are really sweet, Mr. Gomez. I want another one,” Gwendolyn commented.
Just as she reached for the grapes, Lucas extended his hands to cover the fruit bowl.
“You've had half of them! The rest are mine.”
At that moment, he was dissatisfied with Gwendolyn. In any case, she and Pat appear to have gone
through a rough patch recently. News of the upcoming union between the Lowen family and the Ashton
family, as well as the one between the Ashton family and the Surrington family, recently set the public
abuzz. Since both of them are forced to be engaged with other people to protect their families dignity,
it's understandable that they have an argument. Now that she doesn't have Pat's protection, I can pick
on her a little!
“You're so stingy, Lucas Gomez. Need I remind you that I was the one who bought those grapes?”
Gwendolyn huffed and proceeded to snatch the fruit bowl away from Lucas, then stalked over to the
couch so that she could indulge in the grapes in peace.
“Gwendolyn Ashton, is this the way to treat a patient?” Lucas demanded stonily.
Their exchange thoroughly entertained Kevin, who was sure that Patrick would go mad with jealousy if
the man were present to witness this scene.
“I'm here to see Melanie, not you. Lucy might think of you as a patient, but I don't!” Gwendolyn retorted.
Rendered speechless by her response, Lucas could only glower at the grape-hogging woman.

the mood with your bickering, unlike the dreary atmosphere at Pat's side. He has no one else in his
ward. How pitiful of him!”
He deliberately brought that up for Gwendolyn to hear. After all, Patrick still cared about her.
However, she did not look the least bit concerned about Patrick's condition. That observation caused
Kevin to sigh inwardly. Humans are just weird sometimes. If Pat wanted to, he could have countless
women flock to his bedside to wait on him hand and foot, but he's so stubborn that he only wants
Gwendolyn's attention. Yet, the woman he's pining for clearly isn't interested in taking care of him at all.
How saddening!
Meanwhile, Gwendolyn suddenly felt as though the grape she was eating had become bland after she
heard Kevin's words.
As for Lucas, he was already grumpy that his woman was keeping someone else company. He had no
idea if that someone was a man or a woman, but his instincts told him it was definitely the former.
For all he knew, the person whom Lucy was keeping company could be Einar, her childhood friend.
Just the thought of that irked him to no end.
After hearing what Kevin had said, Lucas cocked a brow and looked at Gwendolyn. “Kevin's right!
Gwendolyn, Pat is in the ward right next door. Weren't you worried about his condition? Why don't you
go over and ask him how he's doing instead of loitering in my ward? Being nice to me isn't going to
help your case because I don't plan on putting in a good word with him for you.”
