Gwendolyn couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
In a hoarse voice, she said, “Patrick, you have to get better. Otherwise, what will Old Mr. Lowen and
Old Mrs. Lowen do?”
What will the Lowen family do?
Just then, Lucas and Kevin came in. Seeing the scene ahead of them, they shook their heads.
Kevin came over to Gwendolyn's side.
With a smile, he said, “Gwen, don't worry anymore. He's okay.”
To be honest, he wasn't okay at all. The bullet was still inside him lodged between a clump of blood
vessels. If it moved by even just a millimeter, he could bleed out and die.
Thus, to continue the treatment, the bullet had to be left inside for now. The plan was to wait and see if
it would move on its own later on. Either that or if there was a doctor with enough experience, perhaps
he could operate on him.
Once Patrick woke up, Kevin planned to discuss this with him before deciding on the exact surgery
plan.
For the time being, Kevin decided to keep this from Gwendolyn. If anything, Patrick should be the one
to tell her.
That day, he really experienced her sincerity. He could see her pure emotions pouring through when
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe was having a breakdown. Kevin was happy that Patrick had managed to find a woman that truly
loved him.
Gwendolyn turned her head to look at him. Then, she carefully tucked his hand back into the quilt.
“Was the surgery a success? He won't die now, right?”
Her questions were very direct. An uncomfortable gaze flashed through Kevin's eyes as he nodded.
Lucas' eyes landed on Lucy.
In a faint voice, he uttered, “You don't have to worry about Melanie. They'll take care of her. For today,
you should stay with Gwendolyn.”
Gwendolyn was upset right now. Not only that, her leg had yet to heal fully. It was better for Lucy to
keep her company.
Lucy nodded. She looked away, avoiding his gaze.
The moment she saw him, she would think of how selfishly he treated her at night. She couldn't bear it.
The hatred in her heart kept intensifying.
Lucas took a look at the time. “I'll be on my way now. I still have some stuff to do.”
He wasn't going to be returning to the army for the time being. There were some changes being made
at work. Hence, he had to go deal with them.
If it was before, he would go back with no hesitation. Nowadays, he was not as carefree anymore.
His words seemed to be aimed at Lucy, but she did not respond to him. Instead, she just acted like she
heard nothing.
Kevin smirked. It seemed like Lucas had finally met his match. His lips couldn't help but curl into a
smile.
“Go ahead! He's only going to wake up tomorrow. You can come to see him by then.”
The next day, Patrick was awake. Seeing all the people by his bedside, his eyes flickered. He was
obviously looking for someone.
Kevin smiled. “Pat, Gwen is here.”
I knew this jerk would prioritize a girl over his friends. He's looking for her as soon as he wakes up.
Gwendolyn gripped his hands tightly.
Between sobs, she said, “I'm here. Patrick, I'm sorry!”
Patrick twitched his finger slightly as his pale lips quivered.
“You idiot. Don't cry.”
Watching her cry gave him a headache. Especially now that he had a head injury, it hurt even more.
Gwendolyn hurriedly dabbed her tears away with her hands. “I won't cry. I will stop crying as long as
you're all right.”
The others watched as Patrick stared deeply at Gwendolyn. His smitten expression made them smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey all hoped that he could recover quickly so the couple could live happily together.
For the next two weeks, Gwendolyn spent most of her time in the hospital. On the other hand, Patrick
went back to work about a week later. He worked from the hospital bed.
As for the Lowen family, they were told that Patrick was on a business trip and that he would only be
back after a month or so.
Gwendolyn's leg was all healed as well at that moment. There was still a scar, but she was able to
move around on her own. That was good enough for her.
That day, Kevin came into the ward with several doctors. They were there to discuss what to do with
the bullet inside Patrick's body.
Kevin looked at the woman who was taking care of Patrick. “Gwen, there's a report to be collected on
the third floor of the medical technology building. Do you mind?”
Gwendolyn immediately stood up. She looked at the line of doctors dressed in their white lab coats.
Ever since she was young, she had been afraid of doctors. The sight of them made her heart jump in
fright.
“Oh! I'll go right away.”
On the way down from the inpatient building, Gwendolyn ran into Angeline. She nodded slightly at her.
“Mrs. Surrington.”
When Angeline saw her, she stopped her.
“Gwendolyn, you jinx. You're the reason Zay is like this now.”
