Dora stood at the other end of the corridor and watched Zac and Patricia together.

She couldn't help but smile at seeing them being intimate with one another.

Now that Zac was here neither of them would be lonely, thought Dora.

It was only natural to expect that their feelings for each other would grow.

She knew that some of the credit for this would go to her and this made her feel good.

She had, after all, helped clarify some of the misunderstandings between them.

Apart from the pain in Patricia's wound, of which she needed to be mindful, the doctor had said that Patricia was doing much better.

Zac, however, needed a little more convincing.

He asked the doctor anxiously, "Are you sure she's fine now? Should we be expecting any sequels?"

The doctor was a little embarrassed by the question.But he composed himself and smiled at Patricia.

"Please don't be so anxious, Mr.Reynolds.She's recovering well.All she needs now is rest and precautions.Also try to avoid any further injury.It would be best to avoid any strenuous exercise as well."

Though he felt a little reassured, Zac looked at her with concern.

The next instant, he impulsively scooped her up in his arms.

Without a care for anyone else present there, he carried her out of the doctor's office and back to her room.

Embarrassed, Patricia buried her face in his chest.

She wanted to avoid a scandal at all costs.

The last thing she wanted was to be the subject of news headlines again.

The moment they entered her room, she said angrily, "Put me down, Zac!"

He felt a little hurt at her tone and continued to hold on tightly.

"So, you're giving me orders now, is it? I can't let you do that now, can I?"

Disregarding her wishes, he took his own time to carry her over to the bed.
