Patrick looked at Gloria somewhat obsessively. Losing in his memories, he found it impossible to resist Gloria.
He had been drawn to her increasingly day by day. "What the heck is going on?" Patrick asked his wolf in his mind. "She is our mate," Leo emphasized again. He responded in Patrick's mind, "We, werewolves, need to be with our mates. Such a bond will make us feel secure and happy." Patrick was silent and did not respond to Leo. Leo said to himself, "It would be better if you could mark her as soon as possible. I get annoyed when our mate is around, yet you can't mark her." "I've already rejected her," said Patrick. "But she didn't reject you, so, it didn't take effect," Leo said disapprovingly. Just as Patrick wanted to ask Leo about Gloria's wolf, he suddenly received a call request in his mind. It was from the pack. He accepted the request, and then Leonard's voice sounded in his mind. "Alpha Patrick,"What is it?" Patrick finally put the document away. He raised his eyebrows elegantly and glanced at Gloria. "Is Lillian alright?" Gloria asked cautiously. No matter how good-tempered Patrick was now, he couldn't hold back after hearing Gloria's question. "Gloria, are you being too hypocritical? Look at you. How can you be concerned about someone else when you are in such a condition?" Patrick said angrily. Gloria bit her lips and looked at Patrick seriously. "Mr. Hammond, you were wrong. I want to plead for her by asking you to spare her life and not torture her. As for the rest, Mr. Hammond, you can do whatever you want." "I thought that you were so hypocritical that you could be friends with people who hurt you so much." Patrick snorted. He was blatantly mocking Gloria. Gloria did not refute him. She looked at Patrick seriously and said, "She is your employee. Mr. Hammond, you can punish her, but I ask you to spare her life. If Lillian offends you again in the future,
"Well, since you love your work so much, then work hard. Within a month, transfer a million dollars to my card and I will let you go. Otherwise, it will be pointless no matter where you run to." Patrick said to Gloria with a cold face. "Mr. Hammond, you are right. I still owe you a million dollars. You ordered me to pay it back within a month." Gloria did not refute him. She continued, "Well then, Mr. Hammond, I'll go to work now." Patrick was furious, and his eyes were even colder. He stared at the woman in front of him. She wanted to pay back the debt as soon as possible and wanted to leave him so badly. Why? For that Mike? All sorts of emotions emerged; anger, jealousy, and heartache. Patrick didn't notice the change in his emotions. He just knew that Gloria had made him angry. "She's too sick to continue working." Leo's voice sounded in Patrick's mind. "I know," said Patrick. After watching Gloria leave the ward, Patrick took out his phone and called Christine.
When Sean heard Patrick's words, he walked forward dissatisfied. Usually, he did not need to do this personally because other doctors from the pack would do this job. "Sean, wait a second. Do you know how to do it?" Patrick asked. Sean's hand trembled and he got the wrong vein. Patrick's face immediately sank. "If you can't, I'll ask someone else to get the job done. Don't push yourself." "Be quiet. Patrick, if I fail to put her on a drip, I'll write you a resignation letter tomorrow and go home to help my father collect herbs." Sean proved that he could get the job done. "How can I not do such a job? Patrick, I'm telling you that having me as a doctor in your pack is a waste of my talent. You should feel happy about the bargain." Sean suddenly felt thrilled. He was frustrated just now because Patrick's words were harsh. "I'll give you a raise," Patrick said flatly. "Patrick, you did it on purpose, right? I cured your mate, but you
After the cloth was removed, Lillian immediately relaxed. She was gagged for a long time, and she could not help but cough, and her face turned red. Patrick's feet appeared in Lillian's vision. Lillian paused for a moment. Suddenly, someone grabbed her chin and lifted it. She saw eyes that were full of danger. "I am in a bad mood right now. I don't have much patience. You better answer whatever I ask you." Lillian's heart skipped a beat. Patrick pinched Lillian harder and showed no mercy. It was so painful that Lillian was in tears. "Why are you targeting Gloria?" Gloria! It was Gloria again! Why was everyone so concerned about her? Lillian did not admit that she was jealous, but she had no way to fight back at the moment. She had to compromise. She trembled and said, "I did not target Gloria." "I do not listen to nonsense." As he said this, Patrick put more force on Lillian's chin with his gloved hand. He pinch
Lillian sensed Patrick's disdain for Derrick in his tone, and Patrick's attitude made Lillian feel unhappy. She could not accept anyone denigrating Derrick, but she dared not contradict Patrick. Her rationality told her that it would be a dangerous thing to do so. Patrick didn't care about what Lillian thought. He sensed from her words that she was nothing but a stupid woman who was obsessed with Derrick. And there was more. Lillian was also selfish and mean, and she made him sick. Patrick didn't bother to say anything else to Lillian. He raised his chin at Leonard. Leonard understood immediately, so he went up and pulled Lillian up. "Where are you taking me?" Lillian was afraid instantly, worrying that Patrick would do something even worse to her. "Shut up," Patrick said. Then Leonard immediately gagged Lillian and stuffed her into the car. Soon, Patrick's convoy set off again. Meanwhile, at his villa on the we
"I know she works at the Fittro Club. She is your employee." After thinking for a moment, Derrick came to a conclusion. He thought that maybe he had offended Patrick's employee. Given how overbearing Patrick was, everything Patrick would do made sense. So, Derrick continued, "But she is fine, isn't she? She is not dead." Lillian was already slumping on the ground, feeling weak. No matter how stupid she was, she still knew what was going on. She thought, 'It's true. I love Mr. Fisher so much, yet he did set me up.' Somehow, the face of Gloria, who was suffocating while struggling in pain in that transparent container, emerged in Lillian's mind. Back then, Gloria kept banging her fists against the container so desperately. Lillian shuddered violently. She thought, 'If I hadn't been lucky, it would have been me.' "Leonard, tell him." Leonard briefed Derrick mechanically about everything that had happened that day. A
Patrick glanced at Gloria, who was sleeping on the sofa. He didn't answer Christine. Patrick bent down and picked up Gloria from the sofa. He glanced at Leonard, and the latter immediately went up and took the infusion bag from the temporary hanging iron shelf next to the sofa. "Mr. Hammond, where are you taking Gloria?" Christine quickly ran to the door of her office before Patrick could walk out, blocking his path with both hands. Being stopped by Christine, Patrick looked down and glanced at her. Patrick's gaze made Christine panic. She said, "Mr. Hammond, Gloria hasn't woken up yet. Where are you taking her?" She thought, 'Patrick didn't look right when he walked in the door. I know I shouldn't be nosy, but if I turn a blind eye also, Gloria will be left alone. What if the same thing happens again? She will be desperate.' "Mr. Hammond, you can't take her away right now," Christine braced herself and said. The shirt on her back wa
Patrick put his hands around Gloria's neck. He clenched his teeth while he started squeezing her neck. He thought, 'It's fine. With a little more strength, I can get rid of this woman, who can easily affect my mood. In such a way, I won't be under her influence anymore. I won't do crazy things again, such as driving her to the hospital in the middle of the night. That's a privilege that even Gabrielle never enjoyed.' The rational, selfish side of Patrick kept engulfing himself, and he was constantly adding more force to his fingers. Gloria felt pain while she was in a coma. She curled herself up in a ball and frowned in pain. Patrick saw every bit of the cold sweat on her face in the light of the bedside lamp. He loosened his fingers all of a sudden. He realized that he could not do it. He just couldn't! He let go of her neck as if he had lost his strength. His hands propped up by the edge of the bed, and it took him t
Clarissa, who had been crying her heart out, also sensed that Luana was barely holding on, waiting for Cline.She remembered Luana mentioning that Cline's private phone was never turned off and quickly said to Eva, "Luana's phone has his private number. Could someone please get her phone? It's in the paper bag on the bedside table in the ward..."The young nurse guarding the door heard this and immediately turned around and ran into the ward, quickly returning with Luana's phone.Eva took the phone, swiped the unlock button while asking Clarissa, "What's the password?"Clarissa knew the password and quickly told Eva.The phone unlocked swiftly, and Eva quickly scrolled to Cline's number.She noticed that he had been blocked by Luana and immediately removed him from the blacklist, dialing quickly.The phone no longer prompted that it was turned off. It connected...Eva was anxious, muttering under her breath, "Cline, please answ
In her dream, she saw a woman standing in the sunlight, reaching out her hand as if to say, "Luana, Mommy's here to take you."She thought it might be her mother, the same one who had left her in the sunlight with such reluctance and helplessness...Or perhaps it wasn't her mother at all. Maybe it was just her deep longing for a mother that conjured up this image in her dream.After all, she had never experienced the love of a mother or a father in her life.She had come into this world alone and was destined to leave it the same way, which was, in the end, a bit regrettable...Seeing her bitter smile, Calvert felt as if a thorn had pierced his heart, causing him pain all over.This pain made him involuntarily lean down and hold her tightly, not daring to let go for a moment...Luana weakly patted his back, "Albion, don't be sad..."Calvert, like a child, buried his head in the crook of her neck, cold tears silently dripping on
Calvert sat by the bedside, motionless, staring at her pale face.Only after she had completely fallen asleep did he take out his phone and call Gath.Gath, who was at that moment talking with Eva in the dean's office, was taken aback for a moment upon seeing Calvert's call.After Calvert had last messaged him for an explanation, he had been ignored, so this initiative to contact him now made Gath somewhat pleased.He immediately released Eva, swiped the unlock button on his phone, and answered the call, "Hello, Calvert, what can I do for you?"Calvert's voice was deep as he asked, "Can you treat heart failure?"Upon hearing this, Gath knew exactly who he was referring to. "Is there a suitable heart donor available?"A wave of helplessness surged through Calvert, and he unclenched his tightly held fists. "No..."Gath pondered for a moment before responding earnestly, "Calvert, without a suitable donor, even God couldn't save he
Clarissa, recalling Luana's plea not to blame Calvert, said nothing more and simply stepped around him to get some water, ignoring him completely.Calvert stood at the ward door, gazing at the frail and weak figure on the hospital bed, his vision gradually blurring with tears.He struggled to steady his trembling body, clenched his fists tightly, and with heavy steps, he walked slowly to the bedside.Blind Luana sensed someone approaching and thought Clarissa had returned, so she reached out to grab her clothes."Clarissa..."Before her hand could make contact, it was grasped by a broad and slender hand.The hand that held hers trembled slightly, as if it had a thousand words to say but couldn't utter a single one, so it just held on tightly.Luana realized it was a man's hand and thought of Cline's stern and handsome face, but she didn't think it could be him.She tentatively called out, "Albion..."Calvert hadn't expec
Tears rolled down Clarissa's cheeks, dripping onto Luana's hand and making her body stiffen.Luana tried to raise her other hand to wipe Clarissa's tears, but after feeling around for a while without success, her wrist was grabbed by Clarissa instead."Luana, are you... blind now?"Clarissa held Luana's hand, her face full of shock as she stared intently into Luana's eyes.This time, Luana didn't hide it from Clarissa and nodded calmly, "Probably triggered some other conditions..."She had experienced blurred vision during her dizziness before, but she hadn't expected to wake up completely blind this time.Seeing her like this, Clarissa broke down and cried again.She threw herself onto the hospital bed, hugged Luana tightly, and wept her heart out.Luana no longer tried to console her not to cry. Instead, she reached out to hug her back, gently patting her back and whispering, "I'm okay..."If she couldn't see, then so
After returning to the hospital, Clarissa encountered Albert at the triage desk on the first floor, where he was handling discharge procedures.Seeing her, he was somewhat surprised and asked why she had come. Clarissa pursed her lips and didn't respond.Albert, feeling uneasy under her penetrating gaze, which seemed to see through him, instinctively averted his eyes."Honey..." he called out tentatively, then asked guiltily, "The doctor said Angela's pregnancy is unstable, and it would be best for her to stay near the hospital until the baby is born. Since our place is close to the hospital, how about she stays with us for a while?""With a pregnancy so unstable, it's no wonder she's acting out," Clarissa thought, resisting the urge to retort.She had a flaw—having grown up without much love, she was easily swayed by affection.But she also had a strength—she could quickly dismiss anyone or anything that betrayed her.She
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. Although she wasn't sure what kind of help he could provide, she desperately needed someone to lean on at the moment.She walked to the ward door, crying, but instead of seeing the Albert siblings, she heard a series of embarrassing noises coming from the adjacent single room...Instinctively, she wanted to avoid them, b
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
