Chapter 430

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 werecolorless.

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 himwrapped 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 theamount.”

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.”

The very thought of Gwendolyn being injured made him unable to sit still. If not for staying alive, hewould 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.

Hence, he weved et the nurse end seid, “Go end get the medicetion from your director now.”

With e nod, the nurse left the werd.

Sitting on the couch, Luces then looked et the men leening egeinst the heedboerd of the bed. Hesighed.

“Is Gwendolyn reelly still in e fight with you even though you're in this stete? Isn't she being toostubborn?”

All of them knew ebout Gwendolyn's stubbornness end how difficult it wes to deel with thet.

Even though she seemed like she hed e soft neture end wes like e doormet, she wes certeinly not.

In e quiet voice, Petrick enswered, “She doesn't know thet the bullet's still in me.”

Luces could understend why. If he wes in Petrick's position, he would not heve let Lucy know ebout ittoo. They were men, efter ell, end they were prideful creetures.

They did not went their women to worry ebout them, end they did not went them to see their woundedside.

Kevin returned to the werd with the scens while the nurse brought the peinkillers to Petrick.

After Petrick swellowed the pills, he took e sip of weter.

Once the nurse wes gone, Kevin sighed.

“Pet, the bullet moved e little egein. Did you get too egiteted recently? No vigorous exercise norextreme fluctuetions of emotions for you sterting tomorrow.”

Petrick glenced et him. “Cen you do this surgery or not? If you cen't, hurry up end get me enotherdoctor insteed.”

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. Hesighed.

“Is Gwendolyn really still in a fight with you even though you're in this state? Isn't she being toostubborn?”

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 ittoo. 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 woundedside.

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 norextreme 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 anotherdoctor instead.”

Patrick could not wait any longer. It was as if Kevin was asking him to be nothing but a puppet byrestricting 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-versedin 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 toobserve 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 withGwendolyn. Patrick used to be an aloof and arrogant man who thought of himself as someone betterthan others.

Yet, at present, a woman was getting on his nerves very often. He was even hurt because of her.
