Chapter 515

Kevin couldn't hold back his laughter as he observed Lucas' actions. He turned to Patrick and quipped,“Pat, you should take a page from Luke's book and try acting coy. Who knows, maybe the ladies willswoon over you then.”

Kevin remembered the occasions when Patrick had experienced severe headaches. Despite breakingout in sweats, he pretended everything was okay and kept quiet about his discomfort. He had eventried to conceal it from Gwendolyn.

Patrick even went to great lengths to ensure she remained oblivious to the incident even though he gotshot when trying to protect her.

Undeniably, Patrick embodied true masculinity.

Patrick's gaze turned cold as he strode toward the exit, remarking, “Lucas, you could attempt to beeven more effeminate.”

Lucas raised an eyebrow and smirked upon hearing Patrick's comment. However, he chose not todignify it with a response.

Aware that he had been showing too much public affection lately, Lucas realized Patrick was likelyjealous of him, especially considering the latter's falling out with Gwendolyn.

This realization brought a sense of satisfaction to Lucas.

Gwendolyn pushed Melanie to the nurse station, where the nurse required the latter to verify herinformation again.

Lucy affectionately caressed Lucas' head and gently reminded him, “Please behave!”

As Lucas was about to be wheeled into the operating room, Lucy reminded herself to stay composed.She tried to coax him in any way possible to encourage him to willingly enter the operation room.

She then lovingly caressed Lucas' ear and gently tugged at it, knowing he loved this affectionategesture the most.

This was because when they were in bed and Lucas was about to get passionate, she would pull hisears as she didn't have anywhere else to hold on to.

As she pulled on his ears, Lucas was flooded with memories of their passionate moments. His cheekstinted with a blush, and his eyes glinted with a fierce and menacing intensity.

Lucy squinted her eyes and smiled at him, radiating a charming aura.

At that moment, Lucas felt that Lucy was worth dying for. He uttered, “Come on, it's just a bone marrowextraction. I won't die because of it.”

After uttering those words, he fixed Lucy with a piercing glare, as if to convey that he would “take care”of her once he recovered from the surgery.

Lucy let out a relieved breath, feeling that the techniques she had picked up in Night City had proven tobe effective as she had successfully subdued Lucas and put him “under her control”.

With the nurse leading them, everyone got into the private elevator. There was a lady in the elevator,who was specifically tasked with handling the buttons of various floors.

Gwendolyn was rather surprised by the special treatment. She had only heard of someone beingdesignated to operate the elevator before, but experiencing it firsthand that day was eye-opening.

Moreover, considering they were in a hospital and the elevator was designated as the exclusive routeto the operating room, it made the experience even more unique.

As they approached the entrance of the VIP operating room, there were hardly any other peoplepresent apart from them.

A nurse was waiting for them at the entrance. After verifying their names and birthdates, Melanie andLucas were gently pushed into the room, and the door closed slowly behind them.

Gwendolyn clasped Lucy's hand and said, “Let's replace a seat over there.”

Lucy's hand felt cold in Gwendolyn's grasp, and the latter's face appeared pale. Gwendolyn could seethat the calmness on Lucy's face just now was merely a facade.

Gwendolyn was well aware of Lucy's inner turmoil and knew that she was trying to remain strong forthe sake of her daughter.

Lucy's lips were tightly pressed together, and her body trembled slightly.

“At last, Melanie will be on the road to recovery soon,” said Lucy.

Lucy was experiencing mixed emotions as she felt both happiness and anxiousness. She hopedfervently that the surgery would proceed smoothly without any complications.

When Patrick caught sight of the two ladies hugging each other, he shot a meaningful look at Kevin.The latter furrowed his brows in response.

“Why me again?”

Aren't you concerned about that lady? Why can't you comfort her yourself?

“You are a medical professional. You shouldn't neglect your duty,” said Patrick.

Sh*t! How could you guilt-trip me?

Kevin begrudgingly accepted his responsibility, knowing that his own interests were at stake. Hecouldn't afford to lose Patrick's investment, as it accounted for half of the funding for his laboratory. IfPatrick were to withdraw his support, Kevin's entire laboratory would crumble. Furthermore, Kevinknew that he wouldn't stand a chance against Patrick if it came down to a confrontation.

Kevin approached the ladies, towering over them as he looked down at them.

“Gwen, Lucy, there's no need to worry too much. The doctors Luke found are renowned for theirexpertise and have ample clinical experience. Let's not forget that I'm also a medical professional.”

Upon hearing Kevin's reassuring words, both Gwen and Lucy lifted their heads to gaze at him.

Kevin noticed their gazes and adjusted his hair before continuing, “You must have faith in their medicalskills.”
