Chapter 289

Patrick looked at Violet with a smile, feeling both happy and a bit annoyed. “You better do what you said. Alright, you can go back. I’m going to sleep!”

In response, Violet walked over, sat on the nearby sofa, took out her phone, and said, “You go ahead and sleep. I’ll stay here and watch over you. Once your fever goes down, I’ll leave!”

Patrick’s gaze swept over her phone, wondering who she was messaging with.

He was displeased. He snorted lightly and said, “Do whatever you want.”

With that, he turned over, facing away from Violet, and lay down.

Initially, Patrick hadn’t planned on sleeping. He wanted to wait until Violet left before resting.

However, due to the medication, he unknowingly fell asleep after he lay down.

The next day, when Patrick woke up, he found Violet sitting curled up on the sofa with her cyes closed. She was leaning against the backrest and holding a digital thermometer.

At that moment, Patrick couldn’t quite describe his emotions. He stared at Violet, his expression both complex and tender.

As soon as Violet opened her eyes, she saw Patrick looking at her.

She seemed a bit awkward for a moment and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”

Patrick abruptly turned his head to look out the window. His expression was somewhat awkward and flustered. “You’re overthinking it. I was just thinking, why are you sleeping

there!”

Violet stood up and stretched her back, feeling a sharp pain in her n*eck. “I originally intended to go back to sleep. I checked your temperature one last time. It was still 100 “F. I planned to check it again, and once it went down a bit, I’d go back to my room. But then, I fell asleep!”

Patrick saw weariness on Violet’s face and felt a bit uneasy. “You don’t have to be so cautious. I’m just running a fever. Even if I’m really sick, a few days of rest will do. You don’t have to go through so much trouble to take care of me.”

Violet furrowed her brows, not understanding why Patrick would say that. She looked a bit disapproving. “How can I not? You got hurt because of me!”

Patrick furrowed his brows, his gaze intense. “Violet, if you’re only taking care of me so carefully because I got hurt for you, then there’s really no need!”

After saying this, Patrick turned away and got out of bed, opening the door to the bathroom and blocking Violet outside.

Violet stood in front of the bathroom door, looking bewildered at the sound of running water. Did she do something wrong again?

It was really hard to guess a man’s thoughts!

Although Patrick seemed to disdain her, when he thought about his wound not being able to touch water, Violet resigned herself to stand by the bathroom door and reminded him. “Don’t let the wound touch water. It’ll get infected!”

Violet’s voice was loud enough for Patrick to hear.

However, he did not respond.

Violet stared at the bathroom door. Her eyes flickered. She sighed helplessly and turned. to leave.

After Violet finished washing up and went downstairs, she realized that Patrick had already left.

Thinking about Patrick’s injured hand and how he still went out, Violet couldn’t help but worry. She called Patrick, but there was no answer.

She had no choice but to call Nelson. “Are you with Mr. Hersey?”

Nelson was patient. “Miss Webb, Mr. Hersey is still consoling Rebecca’s family and investigating the case today. He might be busy. I’m with him right now!”

Violet pursed her l*ps. “Can I talk to Mr. Hersey for a moment?”

On the other end, Nelson looked at Patrick and used l*p reading to say, Miss Webb wants to talk to you!”

“Mr. Hersey,

Patrick’s voice was stern, and he didn’t seem too pleased. “I don’t have time for her.”

Nelson said apologeticly, “Miss Webb, Mr. Hersey is busy right now. If you want, you can wait until he has time to talk.”

Violet felt a bit impatient and pinched her own car. Alright, I understand. Take care of Mr. Hersey. His hand is injured. Watch over him, and don’t let him worsen his

condition!”

Nelson nodded repeatedly. “Of course, Miss Webb, you can rest assured. I’ll take good

care of Mr. Hersey!”

As soon as Nelson hung up, he saw Patrick staring at him intently.

Nelson felt a bit uneasy and asked, “Mr. Hersey, do you… need something?”

Patrick’s tone was heavy. “What did she say to you?”

Nelson felt a bit helpless. He could tell that although Patrick didn’t answer Violet’s calls, he still cared about what she said.

This was a classic case of saying one thing and meaning another. If Patrick was so curious, why didn’t he talk to Violet himself?

Although he complained in his mind, Nelson truthfully relayed Violet’s words.

Upon hearing that Violet had asked Nelson to take care of him, Patrick couldn’t help but snort, and his expression looked awkward. “I knew it. Besides the wound, she doesn’t care about me at all!”

Nelson was utterly confused!

Violet hung up the phone and couldn’t help but sigh. Who said that a woman’s thoughts. were unpredictable and hard to guess? She felt like this man was even worse!

She knew that Patrick was unhappy, but she had no idea why.

Violet pursed her l*ps in frustration. She had some mushroom soup and then went out to pick up Megan.

It was a little late last night, and there were no more flights at that hour. Therefore, Megan would arrive at the airport at nine-thirty in the morning today.

It was about time, so Violet hurried to the airport.

When Violet saw Megan walking out of the safe passage, she suddenly felt that for Megan, Skyler was probably a thing of the past.

Because Megan was no longer as dispirited as before. Although her little face was cold, she was full of vitality.

However, just as Megan approached Violet, and before Violet could say anything to her, a carefree voice suddenly sounded beside them. “Meggy, surprise!”

Violet was dumbfounded, “Why are you here?”

She clearly hadn’t told Robert about Megan’s flight!

Chapter 289

Robert, with a mischievous grin, looked at Megan. He said, “Of course, I found out on my own with my abilities!”

Megan frowned and glanced at Robert. She didn’t dislike him.

However, his display of affection when they were drinking the other day had startled. her.

Right now, Megan just wanted to live a simple life and wasn’t interested in dating, which was why she was avoiding Robert.

She just hadn’t expected him to be so persistent.

Violet knew all too well that Megan went to travel to clear her mind and avoid Robert’s excessive enthusiasm. She wanted him to cool down a bit.

However, it seemed that Robert was completely unaffected.

Violet furrowed her brows at Robert. “I’m going to take Meggy to the police station to retrieve surveillance footage. You better not come!”

Robert raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “I have to go. Patrick asked me to accompany you both and make sure you’re safe. Otherwise, he won’t be at ease!”

Violet thought about Patrick’s attitude earlier in the morning. She then looked at Robert with a mixture of belief and doubt, asking, “Is what you’re saying true?”

Robert looked completely serious. “Of course, it’s true. Do I look like someone who would lie?”

Violet didn’t say anything, but Megan, without any hesitation, coldly said, “You look more like a liar than anyone!”
