Lucas froze.
Wasn't the pain killing him a moment ago? I was in such a rush to bring him to the hospital because he
looked like he was going to die at any moment. But now, he's walking steadily and speaking fine. He
doesn't look unwell at all.
Lucas froze.

Sure enough, men could cast aside the thoughts of their pain when it came to the matters of their
women.
He rushed over to Patrick and cried out, “Pat, stop it. She's fine. We need to go to the hospital now.
What if something happens to you? What will Gwen do? You'll only give another man a chance to get
her instead.”
Lucas knew what Patrick was feeling, for he was no longer a single man.
Therefore, he was capable of stopping Patrick in his tracks in no time.
“I won't die.”
Patrick was unsure about that if he had to be honest about it. It was hurting too much, and although he
was the kind of man that would endure pain in silence, the pain pounding in his head was something
intolerable.
Grabbing his hand, Lucas insisted, “I'll hold onto you. Don't force yourself any more than necessary.
She's really fine. Lucy's taking care of her right now. I'll help you ask about Gwen's condition, so you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshould go to the hospital for a brain scan first. We need to find out whether or not the bullet has moved
elsewhere. Isn't it better to go to her after making sure you're fine?”
Patrick narrowed his eyes and relented. “All right, we'll do the brain scan first.”
Gwendolyn drifted into a deep sleep from the effect of the anesthesia.
Lucas froze.

Einar later came over to give her more checkups to ensure that she was fine.
By then, Lucy had changed into a different set of clothes with her hair down. After taking a seat beside
Gwendolyn, she then pulled the blanket higher for her friend, fearing that Gwendolyn would feel cold.
“Gwen, are you feeling better?”
Gwendolyn's injury was starting to ache, so she furrowed her brows.
“It hurts,” Gwendolyn squeezed out miserably as she looked at Lucy with a pale face.
Lucy hugged her. “Hang on, all right? You'll be fine after a few days.”
Lucy knew that Gwendolyn had always been afraid of pain since she was young—she would howl out
loud, even if it were just a minor cut.
Einar could not help but chuckle at the sight of the two women.
“You seem close.”
It was then Lucy turned to look at him. “Einar, sorry for the trouble. It's late. You should go and rest.”
Einar nodded. “I've been staying in the on-call room lately. It's at the back. Call me if anything pops up.
I'll be here in no time.”
As he spoke, he pushed his glasses with his slender fingers.
Lucy bobbed her head in response. “Okay.”
Once Einar was gone, Gwendolyn let out a sigh of relief.
“Luce, do you like him romantically?”
For a moment, Lucy was in a daze. “I used to... but I don't anymore.”
She thought she was not good enough for him now. He had always been single. On the other hand,
she had married a douchebag. Moreover, she was currently doing those things with Lucas all the time.
She did not want a woman like her to taint him.

As he spoke, he pushed his glosses with his slender fingers.

She did not wont o womon like her to toint him.
Whenever she looked into his pure eyes, she knew she would feel horrible if she were to hurt him.

Gwendolyn did not believe her, and she sighed again.
“Luce, you do everything for Melanie's sake. Otherwise, you'd be happy if you were with Dr. Severin.”
A man like him was attentive and caring.
He was pleasing to the eyes too. Gwendolyn truly wanted to play the wingman to set them up.
Right then, Lucy's phone rang. When she saw that it was a call from Lucas, she patted Gwendolyn's
shoulder and said, “Stay here. I'm going to pick up a call.”
With that, she went to the bathroom to answer the call.
“Mr. Gomez.”
She was used to calling him that. It was a form of address meant to draw a line between the two.
“How's Gwendolyn?”
By then, Patrick had already done his brain scan and was waiting in the ward for his results. The nurse
was taking his blood pressure and administering an electrocardiogram for him.
Lucas knew that Patrick was anxious, so he called Lucy and put his phone on speaker.
“Gwen's awake. Einar says she's fine. She just needs to come back here to change her dressing.”
At that, Lucas gave Patrick a look of reassurance.
However, Patrick uttered, “Lucy, ask her to wait for me. I'll pick her up.”
