Chapter 538

It was then that Kevin and Rosalie entered the ward.

“Pat...” Rosalie called out in a sweet voice before noticing the tension in the room.

When she gave both of them a look, she noticed Felicia's reddened face and eyes. To her, those wereclear indications that both of them had just quarreled.

While she gloated over it, Kevin walked up to Patrick's side.

“Pat...”

His brows were furrowed, for he knew the latter's head must be hurting again. The emotional turmoilPat has been going through recently must have quickened the bullet's movement. Given that we onlyhave one month's time, Pat's emotional instability may end up shortening whatever little time we haveleft.

Nonetheless, Patrick continued to stare icily at Felicia, who pursed her lips and maintained her last bitof decorum.

“Pat, I'll visit you again tomorrow,” she said.

Well aware that he might kill her if she lingered any longer, she swiftly took her leave.

Felicia figured she had to show up at the ward with Hector the following day, as she no longer dared toface Patrick alone.

It was not until she was gone that Patrick seemed much more relieved. He preferred for her to be out ofsight, out of mind.

The man sat on the bed with his brows furrowed, but his breathing was still unsteady.

Kevin exhorted, “Nothing is more important than your life now, Pat. Do you understand?”

Noticing the pale look on Patrick's face, Rosalie approached them and asked, “Kevin, what disease hasPat contracted? Is it really that serious?”

Kevin's remark terrified her.

It had never crossed her mind that Patrick would be gravely sick, for the latter had a strong constitutionever since he was a child.

He's the most macho man I know. There's no way he would die.

Upon hearing her question, both men looked at her before Kevin remarked, “This is none of yourbusiness.”

His attitude toward his sister was indifferent.

With that, he patted Patrick on the shoulder. “Pat, you must heed my advice this time.”

After a brief rest, Patrick finally calmed down.

In the past, he could face any adversity with calculated poise. Even when dealing with deals worthbillions or staring down the barrel of a gun, he would never lose his composure.

However, he had begun to notice that he would lose his cool whenever Gwendolyn's affairs wereconcerned.

It was a development that upset him.

“Find a female burn specialist. She has to be the best doctor around,” Patrick instructed.

Kevin was going through Patrick's medical records to check what type of medicine the latter had usedwhen that order sounded abruptly.

Upon hearing Patrick's voice, he adjusted his glasses and asked, “Have you been scalded?”

Just as he spoke, he began to touch Patrick's body to check for injuries.

Patrick's expression darkened in response. “I'm not interested in you at all.”

Kevin was briefly stunned before bursting into laughter.

“Even though you're handsome, I still prefer women.”

He then retracted his hands with a disdainful expression on his face.

When Rosalie saw the two handsome men expressing their contempt for each other, she failed to stiflea chortle.

“Kevin, Pat, I can't believe how childish both of you are!”

Her words drew glances from both men, whose countenances turned cold. You're the one that'schildish. It has always been that way.

When Rosalie's gaze fell upon the chowder she brought, she asked, “Pat, I cooked the chowdermyself. Why didn't you drink it?”

Even though Kevin knew Patrick had no interest in his sister, he was not oblivious to the feelings shehad for the latter.

Thus, he answered on Patrick's behalf, “It's better that he drinks water.”

Afterward, he winked at Patrick, indicating that he had dealt with the problem.

Patrick then glanced at the time. “Get the burn specialist here at once. She's the one who has beenscalded. I saw how red her entire back was.”

Kevin understood what he was saying. “Is she over there?”

He raised his hand and pointed at the other ward. Those two super-VIP rooms were allocated to histwo best friends.
