Gwendolyn broke into a smile and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

That was when Kevin finally understood why Patrick didn't want them to tell Gwendolyn about it.

Although she tried to act like she didn't care, it was obvious that she still had feelings for him and wasworried about him.

One could only imagine how she would react if she found out about Patrick's condition.

If I were Patrick, I probably wouldn't want her to know about my condition either. No man would want toworry his woman like that.

“This won't leave a scar, but you'll have to apply the medication as instructed and keep the wound dryat all times. You'll make a full recovery if you keep it up for ten days,” the doctor said after stepping outof the examination room.

“Got it! Thank you!” Gwendolyn replied with a nod.

I knew I was overthinking it. This doctor may be young and beautiful, but she is still a professional.They don't care how handsome or ugly a man looks. To them, all patients are nothing but a bag oforgans. I can't believe I actually got jealous back there!

“I shall go report your condition to the director, Ms. Ashton,” the doctor said as she turned around andgot ready to leave.

Gwendolyn quickly called out to her, “That won't be necessary, Doctor. I'll go tell Patrick about it in

person.”

The doctor nodded. “All right, then.”

Gwendolyn then left the treatment room and headed straight for Patrick's ward.

She was in a great mood at first because she knew how much he cared about her.

However, she started to get a little nervous as she walked on.

Patrick looks really scary when he has that cold look on his face. I don't know how I'll explain the recentevents to him because he won't believe me. Will I even be able to have a proper conversation withhim? Also, the fact that Old Mr. Lowen doesn't like me isn't exactly helping the situation. Patrick caresabout his grandfather just as much as I care about mine, and his growing up with his grandparents onlystrengthens that bond even more. I don't want to ruin his relationship with his family...

Because Gwendolyn had kept her head low while walking, she didn't even notice that she had arrivedat Patrick's ward until she bumped her head on the door.

“Ouch! That hurts...”

A few nurses, who happened to be passing by at the time, giggled when they saw that.

Gwendolyn winced in pain when she rubbed her forehead, which had swollen up a little.

Great... Now I've got a new wound before fully recovering from my old one! Why am I so unlucky?

With that in mind, Gwendolyn let out a sigh and opened the door.

She then made her way toward the main ward, knocked on the door, and waited for a few secondsbefore entering.

Patrick appeared to be asleep as he was lying in bed with his eyes closed.

However, his sweaty forehead and tightly knitted brows suggested that he was in a lot of discomforts.

Gwendolyn quickly reached out to touch his forehead and check for a fever, only to breathe a sigh ofrelief when she found out he wasn't burning up.

As she sat down beside the bed and stared at him, she noticed that he had become a little skinnier.Even so, his well-defined eyebrows still looked as spirited as always. His eyes, which were tightly shut,looked as beautiful as the stars in the night sky.

His lips were of the perfect thickness and softness, which made them really nice to kiss.

They looked so tempting that Gwendolyn instinctively licked her lips as she felt a strong urge to givehim a kiss.

Feeling a little embarrassed by her thoughts, Gwendolyn pursed her lips shyly and quickly averted hergaze.

Patrick was so tempting that no woman could possibly resist him, and Gwendolyn was no exception.

She soon found herself shifting her gaze back toward his lips as her face inched closer to his.

Gwendolyn could feel her heart pounding harder and harder in her chest as their lips got closer to eachother.

Each beat sounded louder than the one before, and it felt as though her heart would jump right out ofher chest at any moment.

Realizing that she would probably end up chickening out, Gwendolyn closed her eyes and quicklykissed him.
