Chapter 40

At a glance, Elizabeth knew her eldest grandson was pretending to be sick. Considering she was fondof Patricia too, she decided to help him.

“Oh, my precious grandson! How are you feeling?”

He immediately glanced at Elizabeth discretely upon hearing that. Indeed, for someone as smart asIsaac, how could he possibly not know Elizabeth was helping him?

Moreover, he could sense that Elizabeth was very fond of Patricia. This is a good sign!

Isaac performed his best act as though he was aiming to be nominated for a Best Actor award. Hisfacial expression immediately changed. Then, he raised his hand and covered his chest.

“My heart aches.”

Elizabeth secretly smiled once she saw his actions. As Isaac’s grandmother, she knew he was seriousabout being together with Patricia this time. As expected, only a kind-hearted girl like Tricia can perturbhis heart.

With that, she immediately pulled Patricia’s hand to support Isaac.

“Tricia, you help him over to the bed and lie him down. I’ll get a doctor.”

After she finished speaking, she winked at Isaac. At the same time, Isaac received her hint and raisedhis eyebrows in response.

Poor Patricia. She wasn’t aware of the ‘sinister’ plot this pair of grandmother-grandson duo schemedagainst her. Once Elizabeth left, Patricia went to help him to get to bed. Isaac immediately leaned ontop of her when she supported him with her body. He wrapped his arms around her slender shouldersand hugged her tight.

As he snuggled his face into her neck, he sniffed her scent. She smells so good. Hmm… So sweet andfragrant

Patricia nearly lost her balance. Since Isaac was half a head taller than her, she still couldn’t withstandhis body weight when he lost his center of gravity and fell on top of her.

Unfortunately, the man deliberately clung to her body and groaned softly, “It hurts—”

Every time Patricia heard this, her heart would ache a little. It was all my fault that he got hurt.

Once she thought of that, her delicate face scrunched up in worry. Then, she nervously carried half ofhis body and walked out.

“Isaac, hold on a bit longer. Old Mrs. Arnold has gone to ask the doctor and will be back soon.”

As she spoke, she dragged him out of the walk-in closet. She wanted to help him onto the bed, but shewas relatively short compared to Isaac. As a result, they both fell onto the huge bed, and his bodyinstantly pressed on top of her.

At this rate, Patricia had used up most of her energy, and she was panting from exhaustion. Shewanted to push him off her, but she heard him saying, “Don’t move. I feel uncomfortable and can’tbreathe when you move.”

Hence, she dared not move a muscle and let him press on half her body. Additionally, Patricia felt likeIsaac seemed to be painfully clenching his hand, and he tightly wrapped his arms around her body.

Meanwhile, Isaac was enjoying the moment. He felt very comfortable hugging her to sleep. Her body isso soft, and she smells nice.

Therefore, he closed his eyes and said, “I’ll sleep for a while. Wake me up again when Gran comes.”

Patricia nodded when she heard that. Regardless, she suddenly exclaimed seconds after she nodded.

“No, you can’t sleep!”

It will be tragic if he can’t wake up as soon as he falls asleep. I’ve seen the news about this before.Someone died of anesthesia after going to fix their teeth at the dental clinic. So I can’t let him sleep.

Isaac puffed his warm breath on her face, making her feel quite itchy.

“It’s fine if I can’t sleep. But can we do something else? Otherwise, I’ll feel very uncomfortable.”

Patricia blinked up at him innocently as she looked at him. Since Isaac was on top of her right now, shecould sense the fresh mint scent on his body and thought that it smelt great.

“Aren’t you unable to move? What can you do?”

A roguish smile appeared on his face once he heard her inquiry.

“Can I kiss you? I feel like I can forget the pain I feel when I kiss you.”

Even though it sounded like he was acting glib, Isaac was speaking the truth. When he kissed her, hehad this particular feeling like he was in those dreams he had six years ago.

At first, Patricia was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head frantically.

“No! No! I don’t like it. So don’t you dare forcefully kiss me in the future! Otherwise, I will fight you.”

That was her bottom line. No one was allowed to force her to do something that she was unwilling todo.

Isaac sensed that she was genuinely reluctant about the idea of kissing him, so he thought, It looks likeI have to take things slowly in the future. That’s fine. I’m not in a hurry anyway.

“I’m just messing with you. I’ll sleep for a while, and don’t worry. I will wake up.”

Since he couldn’t do anything with her while hugging her like this, he felt sleeping was the safest optionfor him as he couldn’t concentrate much.

Elizabeth never came back. Patricia kept waiting for her, and she eventually fell asleep.

When Patricia woke up the next day, she felt that she had slept well last night. It was the best sleep Ihad had in all these years. Finally, she rubbed the sleep away from her eyes and then spread her armswide to the side, making an angel wing pose.

This feels good!

The man who was sleeping beside her instantly let out a groan. Shortly after, a stream of warm liquidcould be seen flowing down his nostrils.
