Chapter 22
Violet felt a deep sense of gratitude toward Patrick from the bottom of her heart. If it were not for Patrick’s timely intervention the previous night, she could not even bear to think about the dire situation she might be in now. If Henry and the others had succeeded in their plans, she would have been at the mercy of Veronica, enduring endless torment. The thought of this possibility sent shivers down her spine.
As she ate breakfast, Violet could not help but reflect on the unexpected events of the morning. She felt even more guilty now. Patrick had saved her life, and she had repaid him with a kick. Even though it was unintentional, she could not help but feel like she had crossed a line.
She glanced at Patrick cautiously while eating and mustered the courage to speak up, “Thank you for last night.”
Patrick glanced at her, his expression showing no interest in engaging in conversation.
Violet pursed her l*ps and blinked. “And I’m really sorry for this morning. It wasn’t intentional.”
Patrick emitted a soft snort and got up abruptly, saying, “I’m full.”
Violet sat at the table, feeling incredibly dejected like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
