Lucy was shocked. Why am I hearing Patrick?
When Lucas heard silence from Lucy, he said, “Lucy, did you hear him? Pat's going to pick her up.”
It was then Lucy realized that the two men were together. Why didn't Lucas listen to me?
That made her mad.
“Hmph! She doesn't need Mr. Lowen to pick her up.”
In the next second, Lucy ended the call.
Lucas shifted his focus to the man on the hospital bed. Patrick's face was ashen, and his lips were
colorless.
He knew that the headache Patrick was experiencing had to be terrible for Patrick to look that dreadful.
Even though he's suffering, he's still thinking about Gwendolyn. It's clear that Gwendolyn has him
wrapped around her little finger.
“Pat, it's fine if Lucy sends her back. Lucy's a responsible woman, so be at ease.”
Nevertheless, Patrick sat upright and said to the nurse, “Give me some painkillers. I want twice the
amount.”
The nurse stiffened. “Mr. Lowen, you can't take that many painkillers.”
Patrick's expression was already dark, and it only turned darker when he heard the nurse's words.
Frightened, the nurse dared not say anything else.
All she did was try to convince him not to take that many painkillers.
“Hurry up. I have urgent matters to attend to.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe very thought of Gwendolyn being injured made him unable to sit still. If not for staying alive, he
would not have even gone to the doctor's—he would have gone straight to her.
Patrick was just too stubborn, and Lucas knew that no one would be able to stop him from leaving.
Lucy was shocked. Why am I hearing Patrick?
When Lucas heard silence from Lucy, he said, “Lucy, did you hear him? Pat's going to pick her up.”
Hence, he waved at the nurse and said, “Go and get the medication from your director now.”
With a nod, the nurse left the ward.
Sitting on the couch, Lucas then looked at the man leaning against the headboard of the bed. He
sighed.
“Is Gwendolyn really still in a fight with you even though you're in this state? Isn't she being too
stubborn?”
All of them knew about Gwendolyn's stubbornness and how difficult it was to deal with that.
Even though she seemed like she had a soft nature and was like a doormat, she was certainly not.
In a quiet voice, Patrick answered, “She doesn't know that the bullet's still in me.”
Lucas could understand why. If he was in Patrick's position, he would not have let Lucy know about it
too. They were men, after all, and they were prideful creatures.
They did not want their women to worry about them, and they did not want them to see their wounded
side.
Kevin returned to the ward with the scans while the nurse brought the painkillers to Patrick.
After Patrick swallowed the pills, he took a sip of water.
Once the nurse was gone, Kevin sighed.
“Pat, the bullet moved a little again. Did you get too agitated recently? No vigorous exercise nor
extreme fluctuations of emotions for you starting tomorrow.”
Patrick glanced at him. “Can you do this surgery or not? If you can't, hurry up and get me another
doctor instead.”
Hence, he woved ot the nurse ond soid, “Go ond get the medicotion from your director now.”
With o nod, the nurse left the word.
Sitting on the couch, Lucos then looked ot the mon leoning ogoinst the heodboord of the bed. He
sighed.
“Is Gwendolyn reolly still in o fight with you even though you're in this stote? Isn't she being too
stubborn?”
All of them knew obout Gwendolyn's stubbornness ond how difficult it wos to deol with thot.
Even though she seemed like she hod o soft noture ond wos like o doormot, she wos certoinly not.
In o quiet voice, Potrick onswered, “She doesn't know thot the bullet's still in me.”
Lucos could understond why. If he wos in Potrick's position, he would not hove let Lucy know obout it
too. They were men, ofter oll, ond they were prideful creotures.
They did not wont their women to worry obout them, ond they did not wont them to see their wounded
side.
Kevin returned to the word with the scons while the nurse brought the poinkillers to Potrick.
After Potrick swollowed the pills, he took o sip of woter.
Once the nurse wos gone, Kevin sighed.
“Pot, the bullet moved o little ogoin. Did you get too ogitoted recently? No vigorous exercise nor
extreme fluctuotions of emotions for you storting tomorrow.”
Potrick glonced ot him. “Con you do this surgery or not? If you con't, hurry up ond get me onother

Patrick could not wait any longer. It was as if Kevin was asking him to be nothing but a puppet by
restricting him from moving and feeling extreme emotions.

As Kevin looked Patrick in the eye, he said, “I'll be going to my senior tomorrow. He's more well-versed
in this than me, and I'll come up with a surgery proposal with him as quickly as I can.”
In a way, it was a consultation with a specialist.
Even Lucas was feeling anxious. “Kev, you've got to be faster. Pat's life is on the line.”
Kevin also understood the weight on his shoulders and solemnly inclined his head.
“I know.”
Right then, Patrick got off the bed. After putting on his shoes, he checked the time.
It was already half past ten at night. It was late, and he had to pick up Gwendolyn as soon as possible.
Just as he lifted his foot to step forward, Kevin said, “Pat, you should stay here today. We'll also get to
observe you better that way.”
Lucas lifted his hand to pat Kevin's shoulder. “He can't stay. Gwendolyn's hurt.”
Even if Patrick did stay, he would be distracted the entire time.
Kevin furrowed his brows. “Why is it Gwen again?”
It felt as if Patrick had transformed into a completely different person after getting together with
Gwendolyn. Patrick used to be an aloof and arrogant man who thought of himself as someone better
than others.
Yet, at present, a woman was getting on his nerves very often. He was even hurt because of her.
