“When can you extract the bullet?”
Patrick couldn't take it anymore. The bullet would induce pain from time to time, which was so immense
that even a grown man like him could not bear it.
He certainly felt like he was only a step away from death.
Kevin's expression took on a slightly darker hue as he heaved a deep sigh.
“Pat, the surgery is extremely complicated. Please wait for a bit more.”
“Isn't this akin to waiting for the grim reaper?”
Kevin was dazed momentarily before retorting, “What nonsense are you spouting? I will not let you
die.”
After saying that, he added, “Rest assured. I will definitely finish the surgery.”
Right then, Kevin's assistant entered and handed Patrick a new phone.
“Mr. Lowen, Mr. Chavez bought you a new phone because yours was broken last night.”
It wasn't until this moment that Patrick realized why his phone never rang. So it was broken.
Knowing Kevin had already transferred all the data from his old phone to the new one, Patrick took the
phone over and viewed every application. Sure enough, everything was intact.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFortunately, he usually used his business laptop or tablet instead of his phone for work.
He instinctively clicked on his chat with Gwendolyn and noticed she didn't send any messages.
The only thing that comforted him was the couple of missed calls from her.
At the sight of Patrick staring at his phone, Kevin asked, “Do you want me to tell Gwen that you're
unwell?”
Although Lucy was there earlier, Kevin reckoned she wouldn't dare to tell Gwendolyn about Patrick's
condition. After all, Lucy always listened well to Lucas.
Patrick lifted his eyes, looked at Kevin, and muttered coldly, “There's no need for that.”
“Do you want me to destroy that brat Zayden then?”
Patrick's expression darkened even more. “No.”
Kevin could tell Patrick was in a very bad mood.
Although he managed to subdue Patrick's headache, he reckoned it would be difficult to relieve the
pain in the latter's heart.
After rising to his feet, Kevin advised flatly, “Your condition matters the most now. You should worry
about your problem with her after you recover.”
Kevin's kind reminder was, however, met with Patrick's silence. The latter started making calls and
arrangements with the phone in his hands.
After Gwendolyn hung up, she saw Suzanne, who had arrived upstairs. The latter poured Zayden a cup
of coffee and stood obediently behind him.
Suzanne simply stood there without a word or a movement.
She would look like a doll if it weren't for her flickering, huge eyes.
Gwendolyn sat opposite Zayden. “Zayden, the doctor is in the guest room now. I'll go with you for a
checkup. What do you say?”
“Will you marry me then?”
At the thought of the voices from last night, Gwendolyn was extremely heartbroken.
She plunged into despair when she found out that Patrick had cheated on her.
She plunged into despair when she found out that Patrick had cheated on her.
Gritting her teeth, she replied, “Fine, I will.”
Gwendolyn didn't feel the need to dwell on the matter anymore since things had turned out this way.
Everyone didn't believe her, and even Patrick misunderstood her. She was put in an extremely difficult

The corner of Zayden's lips slightly curved upward when he heard her response. As he expected, as
long as he pretended to be blind, Gwendolyn would give in to him, as he knew all too well that she was
a kind person.
Patrick, prepare to attend our wedding soon!
“Now can you go get your checkup?”
Reaching out his hand to her, Zayden said, “Sure. Anything you say.”
Suzanne felt slightly uncomfortable seeing Zayden's gestures for some reason that she didn't know
herself.
Pouting her little lips, she was about to help Zayden to his feet, but Gwendolyn was one step ahead.
They walked to the door with their bodies close to each other.
Suzanne followed them, watching as the other woman swooped in and took her job. Her hands
twitched as she imagined the feeling of her holding Zayden's hands.
At that moment, Gwendolyn didn't think much about Zayden's request and supposed she would repay
him for his kindness when she helped him treat his eyes one day.
