Chapter 533

At this moment, Patrick was in the office behind the nurse station. There were only two VIP wards onthis floor, so there were no department divisions. The most competent doctors and nurses were all inone place.

Clad in a hospital gown, Patrick seemed to have lost weight. His face was pale, and his hair wasslightly messy.

His fainting episode and non-stop nosebleeds were all due to the bullet in his head.

The situation was dire because the surgery was going to be complicated. However, given the bullet'scurrent trajectory, he would only have a month left if he did not undergo surgery.

Kevin knew he wouldn't be able to hide it from Patrick, so he told the latter the truth.

A man wearing a white coat appeared in the large screen opposite them.

Kevin called, “Could you take a look at Pat's information and see if there's a better solution?”

Kevin had flown to his city to discuss this surgery with the man before.

They had also been experimenting but had failed at every attempt in their simulations. They wouldeither encounter excessive bleeding or directly damage the nerves, rendering the patient in avegetative state.

As the surgery was too complicated, they had to keep practicing to minimize the risk, or they wouldn'tdare to perform the surgery.

However, they were worried as they only had a month left.

The man glanced through the information Kevin sent, and his gaze darkened until he eventually sigheddeeply.

He could only see Kevin from his position, so he didn't know Patrick was also present.

Patrick listened quietly at the side.

“I know he's your best friend, but one month is really too tight for us. You should be prepared. Let himeat and drink well, and help him enjoy the last month of his life.”

When Kevin heard this, a dark look flashed across his face.

“Pat is here too. Don't say that.”

The man on the large screen coughed lightly in embarrassment.

“Oh, that's the worst-case scenario. Actually, there's still some hope. Patrick, don't give up!”

Patrick didn't even blink while listening to these words as he already had some inkling about his ownpredicament.

He felt extremely unwell when he fainted the previous day.

All he could see was endless darkness. It was as if he was only one step away from death.

He stood up abruptly and walked out of the office. Kevin tried to stop him, but he still had some wordsto say to his senior, so he decided to let Patrick calm down by himself first.

When Patrick walked out of the office, he saw Lucy leading Gwendolyn over while talking to a nurse.

He didn't want to talk to them, so he planned on walking past them quickly.

However, he froze when he heard them talking about burns. He couldn't help but eavesdrop on thewomen's conversation.

The nurse said, “Ms. Ashton, please follow me. I'll treat your wound for you.”

Patrick suddenly appeared in front of Gwendolyn and grabbed her hand, staring deeply at her as heasked, “Where did you get burned?”

Although she was taken aback by his sudden appearance, Gwendolyn didn't fail to notice that he wasin a hospital gown with blue and white stripes. The man was still good-looking in such an unattractiveoutfit.

“Patrick? Why are you here? And why are you wearing a hospital gown?”

Only then did the man realize he had changed into a hospital gown as his clothes were soaked in theblood due to his excessive nosebleed the night before.

Instead of answering Gwendolyn's questions, Patrick reiterated his earlier query, “Where did you getburned?”

I didn't see her for one day, and she got burned. Moreover, she even got proposed to.

At that thought, he instinctively glanced at her hands and realized there was no ring.

Lucy was anxious. “Mr. Lowen, could you let Gwen get treated first and check whether the burns aresevere? Felicia wouldn't let her off so easily.”

With that said, she dragged Gwendolyn into one of the offices to let the nurse treat the latter's wounds.

It's Felicia's doing again. Patrick's dark and brooding gaze turned increasingly menacing when hethought of the wicked Felicia.
