Perfect CEO

Chapter 447

Kevin was sleeping soundly after working the night shift. He was annoyed by the ringing of his phone.

“Why did you call me? I was sleeping.”

His flaring temper delighted Patrick, who smiled in schadenfreude.

“Kev, since when do you need sleep? Have you forgotten how you've spoiled my plans last night?”

After exacting his revenge, the unsatisfied Patrick planned to do more of the same next time.

Kevin reined in his temper when he realized it was Patrick.

“Pat, what is it? I'm really tired.”

Kevin spoke sluggishly. It was clear that he barely had any energy left.

“I have a fever, you jinx!”

Kevin immediately gave Patrick his full attention. “A fever? Where else do you feel uncomfortable?Does your head hurt?”

It would be terrible if the fever continued. That would mean his body is suffering from inflammation.

“My head doesn't hurt. It's probably not related to the bullet in my brain. Anyway, I have a question. If Idon't remove the bullet, will it lower my body's immunity?”

I never caught a cold when I bathed in cold water in winter, so how did I end up with one in this tropicalweather?

Kevin furrowed his brows. “How do you know that it's not related to the bullet?”

“Kev, the cold shower I took last night is the cause of my fever. Also, I don't have a headache. All I feelare minor symptoms of the flu.”

Only then did Kevin heave a sigh of relief.

“Pat, it's not good to have a foreign object lodged in your head for the long term. On top of that, itslocation is an extremely precarious one. You have to watch yourself constantly and avoid getting sick.I'll arrange for the surgery as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, when Gwendolyn returned with the medicine, she saw Linette standing outside her roomthe moment she exited the elevator.

Linette was all dolled up in casual clothing and a pair of flats so that she wouldn't get tired so quicklyfrom shopping.

“Gwen, you went out?”

Gwendolyn gave her an apologetic look.

“Linette, a friend came to see me, and he has fallen sick. I won't be able to go shopping with you. You'll

have to go by yourself.”

Linette looked disappointed. “Your friend? In Willowbank?”

Didn't she say that this was her first time in Willowbank? So why does she have friends here? Linettewas unable to make the link.

The thought of Patrick brought a smile to Gwendolyn's face.

“He's on a business trip too. We ran into each other by coincidence.”

When Linette attempted to follow Gwendolyn into her room, the latter stopped her at the door.

“You should go on ahead. My friend isn't able to see any guests now.”

The main issue was Patrick's fame. If Linette were to see him, she would definitely tell Tiffany.

Gwendolyn didn't want anyone else to know.

Linette rolled her eyes. “Gwen, is your boyfriend here?”

Isn't it obvious that it's her boyfriend? Otherwise, why the secrecy?

Gwendolyn didn't deny it. “Yeah. That's why I can't let you meet him.”

When she pushed Linette away and waved goodbye, the latter had no choice but to leave.

“Send me a message if there's anything you need. I'll get them for you.”

After flashing a smile, Gwendolyn closed the door and walked into the room.

When she saw Patrick staring intently at her, her smile faded away.

“Take this for the fever and that for the flu. If the fever goes down, we don't have to go to the hospital.”

Patrick wrinkled his brows. “Can I not take any medication?”

Unable to hold back her amusement, Gwendolyn poured a glass of water as she commented, “Why doyou behave the same way as Juliette does? The medication will cure you. You have to take it.”

I know it tastes horrible, but how is he going to recover without it?

“I'm fine with taking the medication, but I want a sweet too,” Patrick replied coldly as he sat up on thebed.

Gwendolyn couldn't help but smile. He really looks like a child who wants a sweet. I'm probably the onlyone who has seen this side of Patrick.

“Mr. Lowen, what do you think will happen if I take a picture of you now and post it on the internet?”

She had even thought of the title: Domineering CEO's cute expression while he asks for a sweet.
