  Patrick returned to the Black Thorn Pack at night. His eyes were bloodshot, and his clothes were stained with early morning dew.

  In Alpha's villa, he found Alex who was playing chess.

  "Why did you do that?" Patrick's expression was calm. He looked at Alex indifferently.

  Ellison had been fighting with Patrick in Waikiki Beach a few days ago. But now, he was playing chess with Alex leisurely.

  "Since you want to give up everything for the sake of Gloria, do I still need to leave the Hammond Group to you? You are not my only grandson," Alex answered Patrick while focusing on the chessboard.

  Patrick was not angry. He seemed to be measuring Alex's words.

  "Up to you." After a moment, Patrick said nonchalantly, "I'll wait and see if you are capable enough to take away the Hammond Group and the Black Thorn Pack from me."

  He had worked day and night all these years to avoid the loneliness in his heart. He focused on expanding the territory bu

      After the final stake was announced, many people breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Patrick would make a comeback. If so, they would suffer.  People looked at Patrick, who was once high and mighty, and noticed that his face had become paler.  "Patrick, since we have the result, you should withdraw from the position of the CEO of the Hammond Group." Someone stood up excitedly and scolded Patrick, "Pack up your personal belongings and leave the company immediately."  "Who said that the decision was final?" In the conference room, a voice suddenly sounded. "I haven't voted yet."  Alex, Ellison, and the others in the conference room turned to look at the person who spoke.  "Mark? What are you doing?" Damon was the first to speak.  Mark stood up with a smile. He walked behind Patrick and said, "Did I say that I would take Alex's side?"  Other shareholders felt it ridiculous.  They complained in their hearts, 'Aren't you the

      On the other end of the line, Gloria pursed her lips stubbornly. She had begged him too many times in her life already. Those three years of quiet life had almost made her forget who Patrick was and who she was.  She mockingly glanced at Camille aside, who had dressed appropriately. Right now, Camille was nervously watching her every move.  Camille came over as soon as she heard of Gloria's whereabouts, but Camille's anxiety had nothing to do with Gloria at all.  Gloria lowered her eyes, which were full of loneliness and sarcasm.  She wanted to pull herself out of the abyss, but every time she thought that she could finally escape, she would be trapped again.  All of them were holding the things that were most precious to her. They ignored her countess wounds and kept hurting her again and again.  Gloria felt that her throat was getting more and more uncomfortable. She asked in a hoarse voice, "So what if I beg you? How should I beg you?"

      The Carter Group was going down!  The news recently went viral in Gabbs.  It had been a topic of conversation at every business cocktail party lately, including the one Mike was attending today.  He smoked at the banquet. He loathed such gatherings, yet no matter how much he disliked them, he had to put up with them.  "I have something to do. I'll take my leave now," Mike said and was about to leave. He opened the door of the room and wanted to go out.  Before he walked out, he stopped, because he saw a familiar figure in the corridor.  He couldn't be sure and called out tentatively, "Mrs. Hammond?"  The person didn't respond.  The men at the table in the room all stopped what they were doing. Instead, they all turned around and looked in one direction.  They thought, 'No way! It can't be Patrick's mate, right?'  Mike ignored the group of half-drunk men behind him. He looked at the woman's back. She was limping slightly t

      "Patrick! You bastard! You promised me!" Gloria's eyes turned red.  The pain in Patrick's eyes almost froze. He focused on doing what he was doing.  Suddenly, Gloria's eyes widened in fear. Her body was shivering all over.  She felt a sudden chill down her back since her pajamas were lifted.  She screamed with all her strength, and her voice was harsh and unpleasant, "Patrick! I hate you!"  Patrick's eyes were full of pain.  He lowered his head abruptly and kissed her passionately on the scar on the back of her waist. He would rather dig out his heart to fill the missing flesh on the scar.  Gloria struggled even harder, but the more she struggled, the more passionately Patrick kissed her.  "Patrick! I hate you! Can't you hear me?" She twisted her waist frantically, trying to avoid his endless kiss.  Patrick remained silent. What he wanted was not just her body.  He wanted her to respond to him.  He admitted that he

      Mandy, who was in the driver's seat, opened her mouth, only to find that she couldn't utter a word to comfort Gloria. She knew Gloria too well, which was why she felt no need or words to comfort Gloria.  The Carter Group had many problems. Maybe they had been overlooked, or maybe Alger didn't think they were serious.  Mandy was a little distressed for Gloria, who was in the back seat. When Gloria was busy, she was working in an almost suicidal way.  Mandy figured that she was supposed to hate Patrick. After all, he was the one who forced an outgoing woman bit by bit till she was cornered.  In all of Gabbs, Patrick was the only person who could drive Gloria into a corner.  But now, Mandy felt grateful for Patrick. At least he would come in time to pick Gloria up for lunch and dinner, or Gloria would be too busy to eat at all.  Mandy accompanied Gloria to work for several days, and Patrick did not appear during this time.  Gloria knew that h

      Although Gloria's voice had long been broken, currently, her voice had reached a new limit. Listening to her speak made one feel like hearing two pieces of coarse sandpaper rubbing against each other.  Anyone would get a sore throat and an itchy mouth while listening to her.  "What do you want?" Stewart frowned and asked in dissatisfaction.  Gloria didn't care about his attitude. She casually took the face powders out of her bag, opened it, and started to touch up her makeup as if no one else was around.  "Seriously? You are still in the mood to fix your makeup now?" Stewart sneered. In fact, he was already dissatisfied.  Gloria turned around and asked him, "Do I look good?"  "Don't go too far!" Stewart clenched his fists.  "If he sees me, he won't be able to move his eyes away from me, right?" Gloria lowered her head slightly and muttered to herself.  Immediately, Stewart felt a lump in his throat and something bitter in his heart.

      Gloria looked stiffly at Patrick in her arms who was asking for help.  The others froze on the spot, watching the strange scene.  "Is that Patrick?" Stewart said skeptically, and everyone present shared the same doubt.  Sean's face suddenly darkened, and he said sternly, "Go! Get the pack doctor."  The pack doctor came, but Patrick refused to cooperate. He clutched Gloria's clothes with both hands and refused to let go.  Thus, all the people present looked at Gloria.  "He only listens to you now," Sean said calmly.  Under the gazes of everyone in the room, Gloria compromised and coaxed the child-like Patrick.  After giving Patrick a checkup, the pack doctor said, "Alpha Patrick seems not to remember the past."  Sean was also a medical worker, so he instantly understood what the doctor meant. "Are you saying that he lost his memory?"  "No. Alpha Patrick's IQ and cognition are now no different from that of an eight-year-old

      Gloria drove back. Sitting in the driver's seat, she laughed at herself for having an illusion. Otherwise, how could she see Patrick?  Suddenly, she realized something.  Gloria stepped on the brakes, her body leaning forward instinctively. She stared forward.  The next moment...  She unbuckled her seat belt, got out of the car, and limped forward.  "Patrick! Where have you been? Everyone is worried about you. Do you know that?" Gloria shouted at him with her coarse voice. Her chest heaved violently.  Patrick seemed frightened and stared at her blankly.  "Gloria," Patrick explained, "Hank said that if I behaved, you would come to see me. I waited for a long time, but you didn't come. I miss you so much!"  He looked at a loss and was about to cry. "Have I done something wrong?"  Gloria's heart skipped a beat. An indescribable pain spread through her heart and she was caught off guard.  Before she could say anything, Patrick

    Luana had long been aware of her physical condition, so she wasn't particularly concerned. She asked, "How much... longer do I have?"Eva, with her hands in the pockets of her white coat, looked down at Luana's pale face and said seriously, "About a week."If she hadn't sustained such severe injuries, with the help of special medications, she might have been able to hold on for another two months.But the nail piercing the back of her head had accelerated her heart failure. The fact that she could still last a week was nothing short of a medical miracle.Eva couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the scene of the nail piercing the back of Luana's head."Luana, who on earth nailed the back of your head?"Cline had only messaged her that Sidney, Runa, and he had attacked Luana, urging her to come and save her.He hadn't mentioned who had caused the injuries.Eva suspected it might have been a group attack, but she couldn't bel

    After shouting, Clarissa covered her face and cried almost hysterically.Luana, seeing her like this, couldn't help but feel her eyes well up with tears.She mustered all her strength to reach out and pull at Clarissa's clothes.But Clarissa, unable to accept the reality, kept backing away...She cried and ran out of the ward in a state of collapse.Watching Clarissa's retreating figure, the tears that Luana had been holding back began to fall drop by drop.Clarissa ran out of the VIP ward in one breath and unconsciously stopped in front of the door of an ordinary ward.She wanted to ask Albert for help.

    After speaking, Eva gave Clarissa a gentle smile, which temporarily relieved Clarissa of her worries and shifted her focus to Luana.Seeing Luana sweating from pain in her coma, Clarissa felt heartbroken and quickly took out a towel to wipe her sweat.After finishing, she turned to Eva and asked nervously, "Dr. Woodward, is Luana's heart okay?"Luana had congenital heart disease and had to be very careful in her daily life.Being beaten into a coma could have caused damage to her heart, just like how she had become weaker after being kicked before. Clarissa was very worried about this.Eva glanced at Clarissa, unsure of how to respond.As a doctor, she should tell the patient's family about such a life-or-death issue.But without the patient's consent, she didn't feel right making the decision.Moreover, seeing Clarissa's worried face, she was afraid that Clarissa wouldn't be able to handle it.After thinking for a while

    Eva saw that she couldn't hide the truth anymore, so she told Clarissa what had happened, but she didn't mention the heart failure, only saying that Luana was in a coma.Hearing that Luana was in a coma, Clarissa nearly lost her balance and fell.She steadied herself against the door frame and said in a trembling voice, "Dr. Woodward, please tell me the address of the hospital..."Eva gave Clarissa the address and tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, she's in my hospital and I'll keep an eye on her. You should prepare some clothes for her to change into. She'll probably need to be hospitalized for a while."Eva's calm voice gave Clarissa some strength.She steadied herself, thanked Eva, and hung up the phone. Then she stumbled into Luana's bedroom.She quickly packed a few pieces of clothing, grabbed some toiletries, and hurriedly drove to the hospital.Eva was in the middle of giving Luana a detailed examination when she saw Clariss

    Clarissa, Clarissa…Luana heard Clarissa's crying voice in a daze. The sound tugged at her heart, making it impossible for her to keep going.She stood in the mist, slowly turning her head, just in time to see Clarissa running toward her."Luana, don't leave. Come back. I still have so much to tell you…"Luana opened her mouth to respond to Clarissa, but no sound came out.Then, fresh oxygen flowed in, easing her suffocated heart.Gradually, the mist dissipated and Clarissa vanished. Luana fell into a deep coma."Dr. Woodward, her heart has started beating again!""Hurry, keep her on oxygen!"Eva saw the flickering data on the ECG monitor and felt her legs go weak.This was the first time she had been so anxious about a patient, fearing that she might die.Her hands were still trembling, too weak to even lift."Dr. Roffe , how's the situation with the back of her head?"Dr. Roffe

    Cline stared coldly at Sidney, his face full of dissatisfaction."Cline, you used to... protect Valda like this too," Sidney said, eyeing him suspiciously up and down.In this world, the only person who could make him lose control of his emotions was Valda.Back then, he had stood up for Valda just like this, even going to any lengths to defend her!Sidney's words hit a sore spot for Cline, making his expression even darker and more irritable."What do you want to get out of this?""I want her dead! Either that, or sell her to a club and make her life a living hell! Otherwise, I'll tell Auntie that you have a special relationship with her!"Upon hearing this, Cline slightly tilted his head and reluctantly slapped Luana.The moment the slap landed, Luana, who was unprepared, lost her balance and fell straight backward—This time, she wasn't so lucky. There was a nail where she fell, which pierced right into the back

    The man had a face with sharp angles, like it was chiseled out of stone, and eyes that were impossible to read.He wore a black suit that accentuated his lean and upright figure, exuding an aura as dazzling as the stars yet tinged with melancholy.After steadying Runa, he didn't immediately remove his hand from her waist. Instead, he looked down at Luana coldly."You dare to lay a hand on my fiancée? Who the fuck are you?"Luana's heart, which had been racing and nearly suffocating with tension, suddenly chilled at the man's indifferent voice.Drenched, with a swollen cheek and disheveled hair, she felt more humiliated by his words than by her appearance.She hugged her shivering arms, lowered her head, and stared lifelessly at her toes, awaiting judgment from these powerful, condescending people."Cline, what are you doing here?"Runa asked, surprised yet more shocked that Cline hadn't let go of her.Cline was always so busy handling affairs—why would he show up at a mall, and in the

    The entrance of the mall was crowded with people coming and going.If someone took a photo or a video, it might harm Luana's reputation.Although the Moriarty family had enough PR skills to deal with the public opinion, it was better not to cause trouble.Thinking of this, Sidney immediately withdrew her hand and gave a signal to the bodyguards behind her.The bodyguards quickly took out a handkerchief, covered Luana's mouth with it, and dragged her towards the restroom.Luana was almost thrown into the toilet stall by the bodyguards. They didn't give her a chance to escape and pinned her down tightly.Sidney and Runa walked in gracefully in high heels.They looked down at Luana as if they were symbols of power."Sidney, is she the one who disrespected you at the hospital?" Runa asked."Yes, she dared to mock me and even threatened to call the police on me. How dare she!" Sidney replied.Runa also glared at Luana fiercely."Luana, I didn't expect you to be so foolish.

    When she saw Gath come out with an angry look on his face, completely different from the cheerful appearance she had seen before, it seemed as if there was a deep-seated hatred between them.Luana did not ask about their relationship, pretending to know nothing, and took out the swelling-reducing medicine to give it to Eva."Eva, apply this. You're so beautiful. You don't want to be scared, do you?" Seeing the injury on Eva's face, Luana felt guilty, as if she were the reason Eva got hit."Thank you," Eva accepted the swelling-reducing patch and applied it to her face, then looked at Luana, who was pretending nothing had happened."You know Gath, don't you?" Eva thought that since Luana and Calvert seemed to have a good relationship, and Gath was Calvert's friend, Luana must know him.Luana nodded but did not ask any more questions.Eva, however, did not mind and openly said, "He's like my brother, but without blood ties. However... the grudges between us run deep."As for how deep th
