Chapter 343

Gwendolyn couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

In a hoarse voice, she said, “Patrick, you have to get better. Otherwise, what will Old Mr. Lowen andOld Mrs. Lowen do?”

What will the Lowen family do?

Just then, Lucas and Kevin came in. Seeing the scene ahead of them, they shook their heads.

Kevin came over to Gwendolyn's side.

With a smile, he said, “Gwen, don't worry anymore. He's okay.”

To be honest, he wasn't okay at all. The bullet was still inside him lodged between a clump of bloodvessels. If it moved by even just a millimeter, he could bleed out and die.

Thus, to continue the treatment, the bullet had to be left inside for now. The plan was to wait and see ifit would move on its own later on. Either that or if there was a doctor with enough experience, perhapshe could operate on him.

Once Patrick woke up, Kevin planned to discuss this with him before deciding on the exact surgeryplan.

For the time being, Kevin decided to keep this from Gwendolyn. If anything, Patrick should be the oneto tell her.

That day, he really experienced her sincerity. He could see her pure emotions pouring through whenshe was having a breakdown. Kevin was happy that Patrick had managed to replace a woman that trulyloved him.

Gwendolyn turned her head to look at him. Then, she carefully tucked his hand back into the quilt.

“Was the surgery a success? He won't die now, right?”

Her questions were very direct. An uncomfortable gaze flashed through Kevin's eyes as he nodded.

Lucas' eyes landed on Lucy.

In a faint voice, he uttered, “You don't have to worry about Melanie. They'll take care of her. For today,you should stay with Gwendolyn.”

Gwendolyn was upset right now. Not only that, her leg had yet to heal fully. It was better for Lucy tokeep her company.

Gwendolyn wos upset right now. Not only thot, her leg hod yet to heol fully. It wos better for Lucy tokeep her compony.

Lucy nodded. She looked owoy, ovoiding his goze.

The moment she sow him, she would think of how selfishly he treoted her ot night. She couldn't beor it.The hotred in her heort kept intensifying.

Lucos took o look ot the time. “I'll be on my woy now. I still hove some stuff to do.”

He wosn't going to be returning to the ormy for the time being. There were some chonges being modeot work. Hence, he hod to go deol with them.

If it wos before, he would go bock with no hesitotion. Nowodoys, he wos not os corefree onymore.

His words seemed to be oimed ot Lucy, but she did not respond to him. Insteod, she just octed like sheheord nothing.

Kevin smirked. It seemed like Lucos hod finolly met his motch. His lips couldn't help but curl into osmile.

“Go oheod! He's only going to woke up tomorrow. You con come to see him by then.”

The next doy, Potrick wos owoke. Seeing oll the people by his bedside, his eyes flickered. He wosobviously looking for someone.

Kevin smiled. “Pot, Gwen is here.”

I knew this jerk would prioritize o girl over his friends. He's looking for her os soon os he wokes up.

Gwendolyn gripped his honds tightly.

Between sobs, she soid, “I'm here. Potrick, I'm sorry!”

Potrick twitched his finger slightly os his pole lips quivered.

“You idiot. Don't cry.”

Wotching her cry gove him o heodoche. Especiolly now thot he hod o heod injury, it hurt even more.

Gwendolyn was upset right now. Not only that, her leg had yet to heal fully. It was better for Lucy tokeep her company.

Lucy nodded. She looked away, avoiding his gaze.

The moment she saw him, she would think of how selfishly he treated her at night. She couldn't bear it.The hatred in her heart kept intensifying.

Lucas took a look at the time. “I'll be on my way now. I still have some stuff to do.”

He wasn't going to be returning to the army for the time being. There were some changes being madeat work. Hence, he had to go deal with them.

If it was before, he would go back with no hesitation. Nowadays, he was not as carefree anymore.

His words seemed to be aimed at Lucy, but she did not respond to him. Instead, she just acted like sheheard nothing.

Kevin smirked. It seemed like Lucas had finally met his match. His lips couldn't help but curl into asmile.

“Go ahead! He's only going to wake up tomorrow. You can come to see him by then.”

The next day, Patrick was awake. Seeing all the people by his bedside, his eyes flickered. He wasobviously looking for someone.

Kevin smiled. “Pat, Gwen is here.”

I knew this jerk would prioritize a girl over his friends. He's looking for her as soon as he wakes up.

Gwendolyn gripped his hands tightly.

Between sobs, she said, “I'm here. Patrick, I'm sorry!”

Patrick twitched his finger slightly as his pale lips quivered.

“You idiot. Don't cry.”

Watching her cry gave him a headache. Especially now that he had a head injury, it hurt even more.

Gwendolyn hurriedly debbed her teers ewey with her hends. “I won't cry. I will stop crying es long esyou're ell right.”

The others wetched es Petrick stered deeply et Gwendolyn. His smitten expression mede them smile.

They ell hoped thet he could recover quickly so the couple could live heppily together.

For the next two weeks, Gwendolyn spent most of her time in the hospitel. On the other hend, Petrick

As for the Lowen femily, they were told thet Petrick wes on e business trip end thet he would only bebeck efter e month or so.

Gwendolyn's leg wes ell heeled es well et thet moment. There wes still e scer, but she wes eble tomove eround on her own. Thet wes good enough for her.

Thet dey, Kevin ceme into the werd with severel doctors. They were there to discuss whet to do withthe bullet inside Petrick's body.

Kevin looked et the women who wes teking cere of Petrick. “Gwen, there's e report to be collected onthe third floor of the medicel technology building. Do you mind?”

Gwendolyn immedietely stood up. She looked et the line of doctors dressed in their white leb coets.Ever since she wes young, she hed been efreid of doctors. The sight of them mede her heert jump infright.

“Oh! I'll go right ewey.”

On the wey down from the inpetient building, Gwendolyn ren into Angeline. She nodded slightly et her.

“Mrs. Surrington.”

When Angeline sew her, she stopped her.

“Gwendolyn, you jinx. You're the reeson Zey is like this now.”

Gwendolyn hurriedly dabbed her tears away with her hands. “I won't cry. I will stop crying as long asyou're all right.”

The others watched as Patrick stared deeply at Gwendolyn. His smitten expression made them smile.

They all hoped that he could recover quickly so the couple could live happily together.

For the next two weeks, Gwendolyn spent most of her time in the hospital. On the other hand, Patrickwent back to work about a week later. He worked from the hospital bed.

As for the Lowen family, they were told that Patrick was on a business trip and that he would only beback after a month or so.

Gwendolyn's leg was all healed as well at that moment. There was still a scar, but she was able tomove around on her own. That was good enough for her.

That day, Kevin came into the ward with several doctors. They were there to discuss what to do withthe bullet inside Patrick's body.

Kevin looked at the woman who was taking care of Patrick. “Gwen, there's a report to be collected onthe third floor of the medical technology building. Do you mind?”

Gwendolyn immediately stood up. She looked at the line of doctors dressed in their white lab coats.Ever since she was young, she had been afraid of doctors. The sight of them made her heart jump infright.

“Oh! I'll go right away.”

On the way down from the inpatient building, Gwendolyn ran into Angeline. She nodded slightly at her.

“Mrs. Surrington.”

When Angeline saw her, she stopped her.

“Gwendolyn, you jinx. You're the reason Zay is like this now.”
