Patrick leaned against the headboard. His splitting headache made him feel immensely uncomfortable.
As a result, he could neither think properly nor calm down.
His sharp eyebrows were locked in a tight frown, and his voice sounded low and husky.
“It's normal, Pat. After all, the bullet is still inside, and it's normal for you to feel pain. You don't have to
worry as long as the pain subsides after you get out of bed. If the pain doesn't go away, you've got to
come to the hospital at once,” Kevin explained.
He felt worried, too. Even if Patrick did feel unwell and came to the hospital, the doctors dared not
operate on him.
Kevin sighed. He had to find a way to cure Patrick as soon as possible.
Patrick hung up, shut his eyes, and rested for a moment.
Once the pain had subsided, he got out of bed to wash up. When he came downstairs, he saw the food
on the dining table and a note that read: Patrick, I've made you breakfast. The oatmeal porridge is in
the pot. Enjoy! Gwen.
Patrick glanced at the side dishes on the table. They were his favorites. Then, he looked at the pot on
the countertop. Soon, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe knew Gwendolyn was trying to pacify him. Why didn't she wait for me to have breakfast together?
Patrick called her, but Gwendolyn did not notice it. She was in the hospital lobby and in a hurry.
The lobby was noisy and packed with lines of people. Therefore, she did not hear the ringing of the
phone in her handbag.
Gwendolyn followed the crowd and entered an elevator. She was already sweating profusely when she
reached Zayden's ward.
She had not encountered such a huge crowd when she accompanied Patrick at the hospital previously.
Then again, Liam, Amber, and the housekeepers from the Lowen family were present at that time.
Thus, Gwendolyn did not have to busy herself with running multiple errands.
The only thing she needed to do was to stay by Patrick's side and look after him.
Zayden was already awake and staring out of the window. When he heard her footsteps, he asked,
“Who is it?”
In truth, his vision had been partially restored. Although he was unable to see everything, the world
before him was no longer shrouded in darkness. As a result, he was in high spirits.
Still, Zayden did not expect Gwendolyn to arrive at this hour.
Therefore, he asked the question nervously and quickly focused his vision. Without shifting his gaze,
he stared straight ahead. His eyes were hollow, and there was no light in them.
“Zayden, it's me. I've made breakfast for you,” Gwendolyn replied joyfully.
Zayden could make out her face. She was exceptionally stunning on that day.
Gwendolyn had makeup on, and she looked great with her current lipstick. It resembled the color of a
carrot, and it enhanced the complexion of her fair face.
Suddenly, a thought flashed across Zayden's mind. Has my eyesight recovered? He could even see
Gwendolyn's face clearly now.
As he wondered, his lips curled into a subtle smile.
Gwendolyn helped him up. She smiled when she saw the cheeriness on his face. This is the Zayden I
know.
“I'll help you to wash up,” she said.
Zayden supported himself by placing his big hand around her waist. Her waist is so slim, and it feels
nice.
Gwendolyn felt uncomfortable. Being this close to him was an awkward feeling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was then that she realized she could not share physical contact with all men. In the past, she had
never been with other men.
Truth be told, she was still traumatized by that incident from six years ago. Presently, she also felt
extremely uneasy.
It was then she realized that Patrick was the only man who could make her feel relaxed and at ease.
At the thought of that, she took a step forward and kept her distance from Zayden.
“I'll hold your hand,” Gwendolyn said. She did so to make things less awkward.
At first, Zayden was taken aback and felt somewhat annoyed. However, upon hearing her words and
getting held by Gwendolyn's small, soft hand, his initial annoyance vanished.
Gwendolyn helped him to brush his teeth and wash his face. She had never done this before, so the
process was very slow. Almost twenty minutes had gone by when Zayden finished washing up.
After that, Gwendolyn led Zayden out of the bathroom and back to the bed. Meanwhile, some doctors
and nurses dropped by to examine him.
Kevin was among the group of medical personnel. He was the director of the hospital, and Zayden was
a VVIP patient. Hence, Kevin visited the latter personally.
