Upon hearing that, he abruptly stood up. “Where is she?”

Kevin arched his brows. “She's at the obstetrics and gynecology department, but it's not a good idea foryou to go there since Zayden and the others are there.”

Being forcibly separated and appearing before each other would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble.

After all, she was Zayden's fiancée, and he was Felicia's boyfriend.

People outside would still view Patrick as the third party who tried to ruin their relationship and accuseGwendolyn of cheating on her fiancée.

Some might even mock Zayden for his obliviousness, not realizing that his fiancée had eloped withanother man.

If that were to happen, Gwendolyn's and Patrick's reputations would be ruined. They would become thetargets of public outrage, branded as cheaters and despicable individuals.

Patrick ignored him, left the lounge, and went to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he witnessed Zayden embracing Gwendolyn, who offeredno resistance. They seemed deeply in love, a sight that bothered him.

That scene was undoubtedly like a sharp sword piercing through Patrick's heart.

He stood frozen in place as he watched them.

Gwendolyn's undivided attention was focused on Zayden. She conscientiously reminded him to watchhis step, fearing he might stumble and get hurt. She did not notice the man standing in front of theother elevator.

Under Patrick's watchful eyes, they entered the elevator and disappeared from his sight.

When Kevin stepped out of the elevator, he noticed Patrick standing with his back toward the elevator,but Gwendolyn was nowhere to be seen. Why is he standing still? What's he looking at?

Just when he was about to walk up to Patrick, someone exclaimed, “Sir, you're bleeding.”

Patrick raised his hand to touch his face and realized blood was flowing from his nose and mouth. Heknitted his brows as he experienced a severe headache.

Kevin quickened his pace and got up to him. When he observed Patrick's alarming state, his facedarkened.

He took out his phone and dialed a number before reaching out to support Patrick. “Pat, how are youfeeling?”

When the call connected, Kevin spoke in an urgent voice. “Come and meet me at the obstetrics andgynecology department. Bring along a stretcher.”

Patrick narrowed his eyes and responded indifferently, “I'm fine.” Then he strode into the elevator.

Kevin followed him anxiously. “Pat, you can't risk your life like this. We need to conduct an examination

promptly to check if the bullet's position has shifted again.”

“I don't need an examination. I'm fine,” Patrick replied firmly. He remained unaffected by the bloodstaining his white shirt red despite the alarming sight it presented.

Ignoring Patrick's statement, Kevin pressed a random floor button, and as soon as the elevator doorsopened, he forcefully Patrick out.

“Let's stop the bleeding first, and then we'll figure out the rest.”

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn walked Zayden to the inpatient building. She noticed a change in the securityguards stationed at the entrance, as they did not obstruct their passage.

Candace and Felicia were stunned when they saw Gwendolyn and Zayden. “H-How did you get inhere?”

Zayden had made prior arrangements for this situation. He had ordered his men to divert Candace'sand Felicia's attention elsewhere and replace their bodyguards with his own men.

After entrusting Zayden to Suzanne, Gwendolyn quickly approached the bedside. “Grandpa.”

Michael had been awake the entire time, pretending to have his eyes closed when the mother-daughterduo entered the ward. As soon as he heard Gwendolyn's voice, he immediately opened his eyes.“Gwen...”

His voice was hoarse, and he appeared frail, with a pale and unhealthy complexion.

Gwendolyn's eyes welled up with tears. She was worried about him. “Grandpa, how did you fall ill? Ithought you'd been doing well lately.”

Michael held her hands tightly and responded with a faint smile, “Silly child, I've lived for over seventyyears. I have one foot in the grave, and it's only natural for me to face health challenges at this stage oflife.”

Tears streamed down Gwendolyn's cheeks as she shook her head. “Don't say that, Grandpa. You'll befine. You'll be healthy and live a long life.”

To Gwendolyn, Michael was not only her grandfather but also her dearest family member. If he were topass away, she would truly be left without anyone who cared for and loved her.
