Perfect CEO

Chapter 431

Furthermore, he no longer cared about his life at his insistence on meeting her.

The two tall men followed Patrick out and saw him standing before the elevator, reaching out to press a button.

“Pat, I'll come with you,” Lucas said, worried about Patrick.

Moreover, if he were to tag along, he would get to accompany Lucy for the night.

Patrick did not answer him. He felt much better after taking the painkillers, but the headache was still wreaking havoc in his head.

Hence, he kept a cold look on his face as he remained silent.

The light shining on him was soft, but it somehow managed to accentuate his gloomy mood.

Frowning, Kevin said, “Pat, don't neglect yourself because of her.”

That was something only a good friend would say to another. When Patrick turned to look at Kevin, a hint of joy flickered across his eyes.

“She's not the one to blame for my current condition. Instead, you should be holding the one trying to hurt her accountable.”

Patrick was never one to go up against a woman because he, as a man, did not want to settle any scores with women. However, what Felicia did utterly infuriated him.

When the elevator arrived, Lucas informed, “Kev, we're leaving now. I'll be going to the airport to send you off tomorrow.”

The doors to the elevator slowly closed after the two men entered it and stood side by side.

They were both equally tall. Patrick wore a black suit, while Lucas wore a gray T-shirt and pants. Any stranger who looked at them would automatically assume that Patrick was the more apathetic individual while Lucas was the more easygoing one.


When Lucy returned to the ward, Gwendolyn had just come out of the bathroom and was wiping her hands with a tissue.

When Gwendolyn saw Lucy, she said, “I'm going back now.”

Lucy hugged her with a smile.

“Gwen, what would you do if that man came to pick you up?”

Lucy was worried about Gwendolyn going back by herself.

Yet, the mention of Patrick made a dark look cross Gwendolyn's face.

She snapped, “I'd ask him to get lost. I don't need him.”

With that, she tossed the tissue into the trash can before grabbing her bag.

“I've called for a cab, and I'm sure it's reaching soon. I'll head off now. You don't need to worry about me, okay? Stay with Melanie. By the way, which day of next week is Melanie's surgery going to be on again? I'll come here to keep you company.”

Lucy smiled. That's just how she is. She seems like someone fragile, but she's a stubborn character.

“Don't be angry, all right? You still have a wound on your head. You can't get angry.”

Gwendolyn nodded. Then, she walked over to Melanie's bed and kissed Melanie's cheek.

When she straightened up, she turned to gaze at Lucy.

“Lucy, the good days of your life are coming soon. Do your best, okay?”

Lucy snorted in amusement. “All right. Let's do our best!”

After asking the helps to stay in the ward, Lucy then went downstairs with Gwendolyn to wait for the cab to come by the side of the road.
