Patricia forced herself to remain calm and raised the fruit knife in her hand, "Don't come any closer. If you do, I won't be polite!"Cody chuckled and effortlessly knocked the fruit knife out of her hand with his baton."That move might work on them, but to think you could use it on me? It's just wishful thinking! If you obediently listen to me, I might torture you for a little while. But if you dare to resist, I will make your life worse than death."Finishing his words, he eagerly pounced towards Patricia."Ah..." Patricia screamed, trying to run, but he grabbed her hair and pulled it forcefully."Ugh..." The pain made Patricia groan. She felt like her scalp was being torn off.However, she didn't even have time to scream in pain before Cody pressed her down onto the stone bed. With one hand, he held her hands firmly above her head. His foul-smelling mouth was descending upon her red lips."Let me go, you despicable creature!" Patricia felt disgusted and wanted to vomit. She cont
After completing a series of examinations, Patricia was sent to the VIP ward.Martin looked at Patricia, pale-faced and unconscious, with bandages wrapped around her head. He tightly clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands, as if he was enduring a freezing blizzard from a faraway land.The doctor reported the examination results beside him."Professor Watson suffered soft tissue damage on her face, a moderate concussion, and no intracranial bleeding was found. With observation for one night, and if there are no symptoms such as vomiting or fever, she will recover after some treatment."Martin narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if there is vomiting or fever?"Seeing Martin's dark and ominous face, the doctor broke into a cold sweat and cautiously replied, "If there are vomiting and fainting, it will pose a life-threatening situation, and immediate surgery will be necessary.""Life-threatening?" Martin's pupils suddenly contracted, filled with a murderous intent.The
Time seemed to have passed by in a blur, and Patricia finally cried herself out, having fully vented her emotions. Then she withdrew from his embrace, her head lowered in embarrassment as she wiped away the tears from her face.However, as soon as her hand touched her cheek, she instinctively gasped in pain. In the midst of her crying earlier, she hadn't noticed the pain.Now, she finally noticed the burning sensation on her face. Martin immediately released her hand and spoke gently, "Does your face hurt? Wait here, I'll go get you some ice. The doctor said applying ice can help relieve the pain."Patricia was afraid and held onto his hand, not wanting him to leave.Martin reassured her, patting her hand, "Don't worry, there's a security guard outside the door. No one will come in. I'll be back soon."Upon hearing that there was a security guard outside, Patricia finally let go of him.Martin rubbed her head, left the hospital room, and returned shortly with a few ice cubes wrapped
"Patricia..." Martin gently tapped her cheek, hoping to wake her up. But as soon as his hand touched her face, it recoiled from the heat."Your face is so hot, Patricia. Are you sick? Can you hear me...?" However, Patricia showed no response. Her lips were tightly pursed, as if she were scared and in pain, opening and closing without uttering a word.Recalling the doctor's words, Martin didn't dare to waste any more time and immediately called the duty doctor.The doctor hurriedly arrived with a nurse.Using an electronic thermometer, they pressed it against Patricia's forehead. There was a 'beep' sound, and the thermometer displayed a red warning sign, showing a temperature of 40°C.This temperature frightened Martin. "Why is it so high? Is her condition critical?"The doctor hurriedly reassured him, "Mr. Langley, please don't worry. I will take her for further examination to determine the cause of the fever. We need the examination results to assess her condition thoroughly."Sayin
At this moment, his mind was full of Patricia's injuries, focusing wholeheartedly. He gently and carefully wiped the sweat off her body and then helped her put on the patient gown.When switching to the hand with the IV, he carefully threaded the drip bag through her sleeve. After changing her clothes, he used a dry towel to wipe her damp hair.His movements were gentle and meticulous, treating her as if she were a delicate porcelain doll, afraid that any carelessness would cause her to shatter.After finishing everything, it was already close to 5 am.Although autumn had arrived, the sky was still bright early in the morning. The dawn slowly crept in through the balcony and fell upon Patricia's face through the window.Martin sat tiredly on the side, quietly gazing at her with a dazed expression.After the IV drip, Patricia's fever completely subsided, and the swelling on her face had also reduced. A faint hint of vitality returned to her pale face.Martin let out a relieved sigh, hi
The two didn't notice the unexpected guest's arrival. After finishing breakfast, Patricia took the initiative to clean up the dishes, but Martin held her back. "You're the patient, you should rest, I'll clean up."Patricia casually replied, "I'm fine."With an intentional stern face, Martin said in a deep voice, "Even if you're fine, I won't let a patient do the dishes."Helpless, Patricia withdrew her hand and realized belatedly that she had changed her clothes. She quickly looked towards Martin trembled and asked, "How did my clothes change?"As she spoke, she silently prayed in her heart, hoping that it was the nurse who changed them, not Martin.Unfortunately, her prayers went unanswered.Martin packed up the dishes while saying, "Due to your fever you were sweating a lot last night, and your clothes got fully soaked. The doctor said we needed to change your out of the wet clothes, so I helped with that."Patricia's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, feeling as if she w
Just as Patricia's high fever subsided and she didn't have the energy to argue with Debbie, Martin, too, was not willing to argue with her. For a moment, Debbie unexpectedly gained the upper hand.Manda, looking smugly at Patricia, treated her as if she were a defeated subordinate.At that moment, Charles walked in from outside! Seeing Debbie and Manda, he sweetly called out, "Auntie, Grandma."Debbie and Manda both froze, wearing a horrified expression as if they had seen a ghost.Charles tilted his head and innocently looked at them, saying, "Auntie, Grandma, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"Debbie vigorously shook her head, trying hard to maintain her composure. She hypocritically patted his head and said, "Randy, you finally hugged Auntie again! Auntie is so happy. Ever since your Mommy came back, you haven't liked Auntie anymore. Auntie thought you didn't want me as long as your Mommy didn't want me!"With a smile o
Debbie was frozen in place.Manda realized something and her face started to look indescribable.Charles covered his nose with his left hand.With a disgusted look on her face, she fanned away the smell and deliberately exclaimed loudly, "How disgusting, Professor Brown, actually defecating in public." His voice instantly caught the attention of the patients and nurses walking around. This place was originally an observation room in the emergency department, with many patients and medical staff coming and going. With a single shout, everyone turned their gaze towards him. Soon after, they also caught a whiff of the unpleasant fecal odor. Their faces showed disgust as they retreated and distanced themselves from her, disbelief written all over their faces. Debbie felt ashamed, wishing she could dig a hole and hide. "Randy, just you wait. I won't let you get away with this." After throwing down these harsh words, she pushed the wheelchair and left. Unfortunately, because her pants w
