Randy's tantrums were causing a big disturbance, giving both the patients and doctors headaches. Patricia was a short distance away from the ward, but she could hear Randy's shouts clearly. “Get out, all of you! I want to find my mommy! You're all liars, you're all bad people, I don't want to see any of you!"Martin had been trying to calm him down for a while and was on the verge of exhaustion. He growled lowly, "Go and get Patricia."Alan received the order and as soon as he walked out of the ward, he saw Patricia rushing towards him. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam, please come and see. Randy is making a fuss, insisting on seeing you."Patricia didn't pay attention to his address, she quickened her pace and rushed into the ward.It was in complete chaos, the newly inserted IV had been pulled out, blood was flowing out, and the floor and bed were a mess.The medicine that had been painstakingly brought, by Patricia, was spilled all over the floor.When Randy saw her,
Someone gave her a thumbs up, admiration on their face. "Professor. Watson, you really have a way with things."A child as difficult as Randy was now taken care of. They could only say these words silently to themselves, not daring to say them out loud.Patricia caressed his head, with a face filled with affection. "He's so well-behaved and obedient, quite likable, isn't he?"The atmosphere immediately froze. Everyone's expressions remained fixed, as only Professor. Watson said that he was well-behaved and obedient. Those words didn’t match with Randy at all, did they? He was a complete little devil.Seeing that no one was speaking, Patricia approached her desk, had Randy sit obediently on her lap, and began prescribing medication on the computer. Randy sat quietly; his eyes curiously fixated on the computer screen.Suddenly, a pair of hands blocked his line of sight, followed by Patricia's gentle voice by his ear. "Children shouldn't stare at computer screens; it's not good for their
Debbie tearfully complained, feeling wronged, "Patricia, I know you were angry when I took Martin away five years ago. If you really like him, I can give him to you. Why are you treating me like this?" Patricia furrowed her brows, feeling that this scene was familiar. It's like a plot in a TV drama where the malicious supporting actress frames the female lead. It wasn't until Martin's voice came from behind that she confirmed her guess was right, she was being set up by Debbie."What happened?"Martin walked over from behind Patricia and bent down to help Debbie up, an icy coldness seemed to surround him. Debbie feigned a groan and intentionally pulled her hand back, successfully making Martin notice the wound on her palm.Martin furrowed his brows. "Did you get hurt?"Fearfully, Debbie shrunk into Martin's embrace, tears falling down like pearls, one by one."Martin, don't blame Patricia. She loves you so much that she did something so extreme out of anger. It wasn't intentional."
Due to bumping into Hunter, literally, Patricia didn't have time to go grocery shopping. She went straight to the nursery to pick up her children. As soon as she reached the school gate, Charles and Fannie walked out, holding hands. Spotting Patricia, they immediately ran over excitedly and hugged her legs. Charles affectionately rubbed against her leg and said, "Mommy, I missed you so much after just one day!" Afraid of falling behind her brother, Fannie chimed in, looking adorable. "Me too, me too..."Seeing her lively and cute children, Patricia's heart was filled to the brim. "Mommy had something that delayed her, so there wasn't enough time to buy groceries. Shall we go to the supermarket together and then cook at home?" Fannie loved going to the supermarket and jumped up, cheering, "Great! I can buy chocolate again!" When she received Patricia's warning gaze, she immediately closed her mouth, lowered her head, a little scheme was ringing in her mind. The three of them went t
Patricia ignored Martin and continued to feed Randy bite by bite. The fragrance of the food mixed with the scent of the chicken soup constantly stimulated Martin's taste buds, making him even hungrier. His eyes kept glancing at the lunchbox, thinking that if Randy couldn't finish it, he could help finish it up. After all, Randy's appetite had never been big. Plus the dishes weren't ones that Randy liked. He probably wouldn't eat them. But what he didn't expect was that Randy not only finished it all, but also had a satisfied expression on his face. "Mommy, the food you made is really delicious. Can you make it for me again tomorrow? I still want to eat it! The chicken soup is also tasty and unforgettable." This was the highest praise ever, and Patricia happily agreed. "Of course! Mommy will make it for you again tomorrow, as long as you want to eat it. I can make it for you every day." Randy loved the words ‘every day’ the most. He tightly hugged Patricia's waist and buried his
Martin slightly furrowed his eyebrows, subconsciously wanting to pull his hand away. He hesitated for a moment, as if recalling something, but ultimately didn't move.Seeing that he didn't resist, Debbie grew bolder. "Why weren't you at the hospital with Randy tonight?"At the mention of Randy, Martin was reminded of the recent frustration, and his expression darkened. "Patricia is with him now, he doesn't need me."His tone was filled with jealousy and even a hint of grievance, as if someone had snatched away his carefully nurtured treasure. After confirming that he didn’t need to accompany Randy tonight, Debbie’s breathing became heavier. As Martin parked the car in front of her home, she boldly took his hand and cupped her own face with it. "Martin, let's go upstairs and have a cup of coffee! My parents haven't seen you in a long time, they really miss you."Martin detected the hidden implication in her words and retracted his hand with disdain. "It's late, they must be asleep by
Patricia internal clock, caused her to wake up early. Randy had been so scared that she was going to leave again. He had refused to let go of her hand, when he fell asleep, and clung tightly to her clothes.Patricia carefully opened his hand, cleaned it up, and started a video call with Charles, from the balcony. Charles seemed to be just waking up, yawning lazily, and without waiting for Patricia to ask, he automatically reported to her. "Mommy, don't worry, Fannie and I are awake. Now we are ready to brush our teeth and wash our faces. Jade has made breakfast, and we are going to kindergarten after breakfast." Patricia nodded; she was relieved. "How did you sleep when Mommy was away last night?" Charles said kindly, "I'm not used to it. I miss you very much. But I know my brother needs you more. Mommy, you must make Randy, feel better quickly so that we can be reunited. " His maturity made Patricia heartbroken. "Okay, Mommy promises you to cure Randy as soon as possible. Take g
Seeing her, everyone showed sympathy. "Professor. Brown, is your hand alright?" Debbie gave a bland glance, smiling and shaking her head, "I'm fine, it's just a scratch. I'm afraid of infection, so I've wrapped it in gauze." Susie, a doctor, cast a meaningful look at Patricia, and warned, "You have to be careful in the future. Don't let someone, with ulterior motives, interfere with your relationship with Mr. Langley." Debbie smiled faintly and gracefully replied, "No worries, I have confidence in my fiancé." Susie looked disdainful, "Mr. Langley is a good man, but he's defenseless against seduction from someone with ulterior motives! Anyway, listen to me and be more cautious, or you'll end up crying in the future." "Thank you, Susie!" Debbie expressed gratitude. Patricia knew Susie's words were pointed towards her. She furrowed her brows tightly, approached Debbie, and asked expressionlessly, "Debbie, let's make things clear. Did you deliberately trip yourself and frame me yest
Martin, lost in thought and gazing into the distance, didn't see Charlotte deliberately fall to the ground when her relatives reached out to her."Ah..."Her cry successfully snapped Martin back to reality.He immediately bent down to help her up. "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"Charlotte, tears welling up in her eyes, replied pitifully, "My wrist hurts so much, I think I've fallen on it again! I hope it's not dislocated?"Martin noticed the bandage on her wrist had come undone.The packet of medicine inside was nearly falling out. Anger started to well up inside him; this time, he was thoroughly enraged."Alan, take all of them to the police station, contact the lawyer, charge them with slander, intentional harm, extortion... I want them in jail."Feeling his boss's rage, Alan immediately carried out the order."Why are you suing us? We're the ones who have been wronged.""Just because you're wealthy doesn't put you above the law. Let me tell you, we won't back down without pr
Hunter looked at her with tenderness, patiently waiting for her to finish speaking.Seeing his gentle expression, Patricia found it difficult to voice the words at the tip of her tongue. Nervously she reached for the lemon water on the table and took a gulp.She drank too hastily, and the sourness made her teeth quiver, causing her face to scrunch up.Hunter was amused by her adorable expression and considerately poured a little packet of sugar into her lemon water."I remember you used to hate sour tastes! What changed? Are you not afraid anymore? Going straight for it?" he asked with a smile.With her cheeks flushed with embarrassment and faced with his caring gesture, found her words of refusal even harder to pronounce.Hunter stirred the water in her cup with a straw for a while, making sure the sugar dissolved, then handed it back to her: "Here, try now. It shouldn't be sour anymore."Patricia nodded and took a sip through the straw. The taste was a bittersweet delight.Although
Only when the phone’s ringtone broke the silence, the deadlock was finally broken.Martin glanced at the caller ID with a gloomy expression, sighed, turned the phone upside down on his thigh in resignation. He turned to Patricia, unbuckled his seatbelt, and moved closer, taking hold of her shoulders. With a serious and helpless look on his face, he said, "Patricia, I'm sorry, I admit I was too overbearing just now. But I'm being overprotective because I care about you so much, and I don't want to see you getting too close with Hunter."Care? It was the first time Patricia had heard this word from him.The anger in her chest dissipated almost instantly, and her tone softened unconsciously. "Hunter and I grew up together. When Debbie and her daughter bullied me, he was the one who protected and encouraged me time after time. He is very important to me. If a condition for remarrying you is to cut ties with him, then I can give you the answer now."Even without her saying it, Martin gues
Martin didn't give her a chance to escape, questioning every word, "So, is what Hunter said true? Are you really going to get engaged and marry him?"Patricia felt that the matters between her and Hunter couldn't be explained in just a few words, and moreover, everything was premature without having cleared things up with Hunter first.Seeing her still not responding, Martin grew impatient and urged, "Answer my question."Patricia pulled her hand back and said indifferently, "I won't marry him."That was her only answer. The rest, she wasn't ready to share with Martin yet.This answer caused a surge of joy in Martin's heart, his previously tense facial features gradually softened as he smiled like a child, unable to hide his delight."I knew you wouldn't like him." He said.Patricia rolled her eyes at him, "Now take me back to the restaurant."The smile on Martin's face vanished in an instant, and he refused without hesitation, "No, I won’t..."Before he could finish, his cell phone r
Upon hearing his question, Patricia burst into laughter, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "So what if it is? What difference does it make if it isn't?"She did not deny it.Martin took her non-denial as an admission, and his handsome face darkened like the bottom of a pot, his eyes filled with brooding shadows."I don't agree.""Haha..." Patricia laughed even harder, her snort of derision loud and unmasked. "And might I ask, who are you to me? By what right do you interfere? What does it matter to you whom I'm with? At best, you're nothing more than my ex-husband. Remember, ex-hus-band."She enunciated the words “ex-husband” deliberately, making sure he grasped their significance.Martin's normally composed brows furrowed, wrapping him in an aura of cold sternness.He was clearly displeased with these words. Then silence hung in the air, heavy and enigmatic.He spoke with grave seriousness, "Let's remarry!"As he spoke, a chilly wind blew past them, its whistling sound drowning out Mar
Hunter expected Martin to back down and leave in a sorry state.However, to his surprise, Martin’s expression was filled with pain as he stared at their clasped hands for a moment and then strode over to them.Confusion filled Patricia as she instinctively turned her head and locked eyes with Martin, whose gaze burned with fierce anger. Her mind felt like it was exploding as if something detonated."How did you get here?" Patricia asked, barely able to form the words.No sooner had the words left her lips than Martin had reached out, forcibly separating Patricia and Hunter's clasped hands. In Patricia's stunned state, he grabbed her wrist and started to pull her away."Martin, what are you doing?" Patricia's heart began to flutter with slight panic.Martin's face had been a ghastly sight just now, as if he was on the verge of a killing spree. She had no clue where his rage was coming from.Hunter quickly stood up and seized Patricia's other wrist, forcing Martin to stop. Martin turned
The doctor conducted a thorough examination of Charlotte. Her wrist wasn't fractured but had suffered from a dislocation and soft tissue damage."Mr. Langley, please hold her tightly. I'm about to reset the bones in her wrist, which may cause some discomfort. Keep her steady, and do not let her move.""Bone reset!" Just hearing it, Charlotte's eyes widened with fear, and her body trembled. Despite this, she bravely closed her eyes, extended her hand, and prepared herself for the pain. "Go ahead! I'm not afraid of the pain!"The doctor looked surprised and said, "It's going to be very painful. Are you sure you're not afraid?"His words instantly drained the color from her face, but she vigorously nodded, clenching her teeth, and refusing to voice her fear."I'm not afraid! Back when I was boarding at school, someone pushed me down the stairs, and I broke my leg but didn’t cry. I can handle this pain!" she explained."You were pushed down the stairs?" Martin's discerning eyes narrowed,
Patricia's heart skipped a beat. She knew she had been framed, again. And this woman's tactics were identical to Debbie's.Not only did she remind her of Debbie, but her methods and cunning were also the same. Indeed, Martin's taste had never changed. He always liked these hypocritical, nauseating women who could put on an act.The incident had happened too quickly; the onlookers only saw a scuffle but hadn't truly seen who had started it. They only saw someone fall and another with a hand outstretched as if pushing, so they naturally assumed Patricia was the aggressor."Professor Watson, what happened? Why did you push her?" one on looker asked."Yes, Professor Watson, is there some conflict between you two? If so, have a proper conversation about it. Getting physical in public won't do your reputation any favors." Another said."Yes! Professor Watson, perhaps you and her should talk in your office? It's not convenient in this corridor."After the incident with Debbie, everyone's vie
Martin had thought he would be calm when he saw Patricia again, as if nothing had ever happened.But in this moment, with Patricia standing right in front of him, his heart raced with intense emotions that he had suppressed for so long. It was in that moment that he realized the depth of his love for her, far greater than he had ever imagined.He couldn't bear to see her with Hunter, nor could he draw a clear line between them. "You..."Martin's lips parted as he tried to speak to her, to bridge the distance between them.Unfortunately, Patricia had made up her mind to keep her distance, and with her head bowed, she took a step back, yielding the path ahead.Martin clenched his fists tightly, struggling to contain the anger and turmoil within him. Unaware of the tension between Martin and Patricia, Charlotte flashed a sweet smile at Martin and said, “Martin, let’s go! I can’t wait to see Randy!”Patricia smirked derisively, her lips curling up."Well, isn’t that affectionate?"Marti
