After going back home, Patrick and I didn't get Glenn back to our side for the time being. Patrick had been quite busy because of his work. He worked overtime after midnight almost every day. In the beginning, I waited for him to get off work. But he got off work too late every day. Sometimes, he directly slept in his office. After waiting for him for a few days, I finally gave up. However, I was concerned about his legs. According to the doctor, Patrick had to do rehabilitation at home. But Patrick was so busy that he didn't even go home, let alone doing the rehabilitation. A week after Patrick returned to City Y, I couldn't sit still anymore. That afternoon, after getting off work, I went straight to Patrick's office. This time, the receptionist didn't stop me. I went all the way to the top floor smoothly. As soon as I entered Patrick's office, it wasn't his office desk but a small well-built equipment for rehabilitation in the of
We both looked up in unison. Patrick said, "Come in." The door was pushed opened once again. Unexpectedly, it was Roger. Standing at the door, Roger said with embarrassment, "Well, here it is. I originally planned a dinner for the four of us after my brother was back. I've reserved a table. I forgot to tell you this just now." Looking at the documents in front of him, Patrick hesitated for a moment before saying, "All right." Hearing that he agreed, I said, "Let's go now." After all, Patrick hadn't even had his lunch. "Now?" Standing where he was, Roger asked with a gossipy look in his eyes, "Then, aren't you guys go ahead with what you did just now?" "You... " "You've disrupted us twice. We are no longer in the mood, okay?" Before I could say anything, Patrick spoke first. Hearing this, Roger suddenly realized something, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have forgotten about the dinner just now." "Let's
Looking at me, Lisa seemed to understand what I meant. She stuck out her tongue and said, "I see. My belly isn't so large as to prevent me from seeing what under my feet is." In fact, Lisa's stomach didn't bulge at all. Besides, the clothes she wore were loose. If she didn't say anything, others certainly wouldn't know that she was pregnant. There were three elevators in the underground garage. At this time, one of the elevator doors opened. And a waitress in a cheongsam stood inside. Upon seeing us, she bowed respectfully and said, "Dear guests, this way please." We went in. We went to one floor upstairs only by the elevator. From the underground parking lot, we arrived at the first floor. After getting out of the elevator, we went straight to a private room. It was a big private room. There should be a large rectangular table in the past. But now, there was only a small round table. As we sat at the table, there was su
I smiled awkwardly and put my hands on his shoulders. As he pinched my chin, I could only face him. Even so, I looked sideways. "Nothing, nothing at all," I replied uncomfortably. "Do you want me to check it by myself?" He paused for a moment and spoke in a trailed tone, "Hmm?" Hearing his tone... I was guilty. If Patrick went to investigate it, he surely could find out the truth. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked down, kissed him on the forehead, and smiled, saying, "It's not a big deal. It's all over. Now it is not like I need your help in everything. I can also solve problems by myself." "Really?" "It's true." Patrick looked up at me with a somewhat profound look in his eyes. The two of us were so close to each other that I could even see my own reflection in his pitch-black eyes. He was silent for a while. Then he raised his hand and touched my hair, speaking somewhat helplessly, "Well, I'm sorry. It's my fa
"Then what do you like? I'll gift you with it." Patrick lowered his head and looked at me. I knew he was talking about cars. He had long disliked my MINI car at the price of over 20 thousand dollars which I had been driving for a long time. However, I held his arm and answered immediately without deliberating for even one second, "I like you." After hearing my answer, Patrick seemed to be a little surprised. But soon, the smile at the corner of his mouth was brighter. Lowering his head, he gently kissed me on the forehead with profound gentleness in his pitch-black eyes, "Well, okay. Then what you need to think about is what kind of wedding ceremony you want." "A wedding ceremony?" I was stunned. Thinking about it, it seemed that I indeed didn't even think about having another wedding ceremony with Patrick. After all, we were no longer young. And we had held a wedding ceremony. Despite the fact that I had married Patrick in th
"Water-like Pavillion?" Hearing Roger's words, Nancy and I understood immediately. Before we could say anything, Roger said, "I've asked the property developer about it. They reserved two suites for you two. So I wanted to choose the one next to you. I didn't expect that someone else would have reserved it early. So I purchased the one by that of the next door." By the time he finished his words, the waiter had brought wine over and poured two more cups of wine for us. "If we move over, we will be neighbors in the future, won't we?" Nancy understood. Roger nodded and waved to us, "I'll go first. After I am done with the things related to my wedding, I'll treat you to a meal specifically!" After he finished speaking, he left with Lisa. As they walked outside, I happened to see that Glenn pulled Cicely's little hand out of the corner of my eyes. Leaning over, he kissed Cicely's face, leaving me the view of his round head. Cicely, who origin
"What do you mean?" Hearing my words, Patrick raised his head. I said, "Yeah. She is a healthy grown-up. However, Roger treats her as if she were a child and takes care of her either she walks or has food. Of course, Lisa has to be angry." Patrick surely had got my point. He raised his hand and touched my head, saying, "Well, then be careful. But I will send a car to pick you up." "No problem." Although I didn't think it was necessary, I accepted it. I did so to rest assure Patrick. After the wedding ceremony, Ryan called me, saying that he decided to accompany Jessica to go back to the rehabilitation center of Holy Spirit Hospital to go through a systematic treatment until she fully recovered. In that case, I should be the one that took care of Glenn. Now that the relationship between Patrick and I had settled down, I agreed. That night, after school, I went to pick Glenn up. And we two went back to Unit Number One, City Y. A
At this time, the staff of the studio all went outside to watch us. There were three people standing here. Except for me, one of them was a leukemia patient and the other one was Patrick whose legs were disabled. I could only say, "Let's go to the conference room where we can sit down and talk." "All right." Patrick agreed. ...... I led them to the meeting room. Someone brought in two cups of tea and placed each in front of Patrick and Finn. Finn looked at the tea in front of him and sighed, "Alas! Maybe it's God's punishment that I have to see through who my biological daughter and my wife really are one day!" "What's wrong?" I asked. I only knew that Kelsi wasn't willing to do a marrow match. For this, Katy had come to see me before. How come Finn brought up Katy? Finn glanced at me, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Charlotte, I..." "Mr. Finn, please call me Janetta, thank you." I interrupted him a
