Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 108: Kareem's Visit 

The sun in the morning shone brightly on Patricia's face.Her long, thin eyelashes fluttered a few times as she slowly opened her eyes.

Unconsciously, her eyes wandered to the right side of her bed.The chair beside her bed was now empty, as if Zac hadn't been in her room last night.

However, yesterday's events were still vivid in her mind.Patricia didn't know how long she had slept, but the sun was shining brightly outside her room.

It appeared to be around noon.Looking up at the clock on the wall, she realized it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

‘It seems like I was completely spent after crying so much last night.’

Before she could stand up, she heard Dora's clear voice that sounded like she had been weeping.

"Miss Patricia, I'm sorry.If I hadn't changed shifts yesterday, such a thing wouldn't have happened to you."

Wearing a guilty expression on her face, Dora lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.

Seeing this, Patricia couldn't help but smile.She thought Dora was so cute.

Yesterday's events had nothing to do with Dora, so there was no need for her to apologize.

"It wasn't your fault. You don't have to feel guilty for what happened,"

Patricia said and flashed her a gentle smile. Seeing the gentle smile on Patricia's face, Dora grew even sadder.

Biting her lower lip, Dora blew her nose before guiltily saying, "No, this is my fault.I knew that colleague of mine had been in a terrible mood lately and could be a little absent-minded.However, I never expected her to lash out like that.I..."

Dora began weeping, the remorseful expression not leaving her face.

Seeing Dora's expression, Patricia couldn't help but chuckle as she said, "Dora, there's no need to cry.It wasn't your fault.Besides, I'm fine.So, you don't have to blame yourself."

Patricia looked kindly at Dora.

If she was being honest, Patricia really liked this innocent and lively girl who was kind and sincere to others.

Hearing this, Dora blew her nose and managed to stop crying.

She then looked over at Patricia worriedly.

"Miss Patricia, are you really uninjured?"

"I'm fine.Fortunately, Zac came in the nick of time, otherwise..."

Patricia fell short on her words, not because she couldn't finish her sentence, but because she was suddenly reminded of Zac, their embrace, and what she had said to him last night.

She hadn't expected to lay her heart bare to Zac like that.

But perhaps, in her heart, Zac was the only person to whom she could speak her mind.

Noticing Patricia's expression, Dora frowned suspiciously.

‘This isn't the look of someone who was scared senseless.Patricia looks more sad than frightened.What exactly happened last night? But then again, it must not have been bad if Zac had shown up in time to save his beauty.And this will definitely make Patricia change her opinion of Zac, allowing them to deepen their relationship.’

Realizing that she had been absent-minded for too long, Patricia quickly regained her senses.

Looking at Dora, she smiled sweetly.

She was, however, curious about the nurse who had insulted her last night.

"Dora, what happened to that nurse to cause her to behave like that?" Patricia asked suspiciously.

She felt there must be some underlying reason behind why the nurse was throwing insults at her so freely.

Hearing Patricia's question, Dora pouted and sighed.

Helplessly, she said, "I heard that she was abandoned by her lover, and it was her sister who snatched her boyfriend away from her.So, being that emotional, she lashed out at you.This is just my assumption, anyway.”

Dora then changed the topic to take Patricia's mind off last night's events.

"Miss Patricia, it's time to apply the medicine.When I saw you sleeping so soundly this morning, I didn't want to wake you to apply the medicine." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Dora immediately brought out the medicine and gauze.

Her innocent smile returned, along with her lively banter.

Hearing Dora's words, Patricia finally understood why the nurse had been so emotional and impulsive last night.

'She must have mistaken me for her hateful sister.However, lashing out like this wouldn't solve her problem in the end.As long as she can let it go, she can live a better life.’ After Dora applied the medicine, she became engrossed in completing her other tasks.

So, Patricia sat on the bed and read a magazine alone.

After a while, there was a crisp knock on the door.

Looking suspiciously at the shadow at the door, her grip on the magazine tightened when she thought it might be Zac on the other side of the door.

‘What should I do if it is really Zac?’ The moment that question appeared in her mind, she felt like she couldn't face Zac yet.

‘Is it because Zac saved me last night? Or is it because I showed my dependence on him last night?’ Patricia didn't understand herself.

Her emotions seemed to be muddled, making it difficult to think clearly.Shaking her head, she dismissed the problems that were troubling her.

Taking a deep breath, she regained her usual aloof composure before calmly saying, "Come in."

Patricia couldn't hide her surprise when she saw who the man behind the door was.

‘Why is Kareem here?’

"Miss Sampson, you didn't expect to see me here, did you?"

Kareem walked in with a fruit basket in hand.

He wore a gentle smile on his face, but Patricia could see the sharpness in his eyes.

Her cold smile was met by Kareem’s gentle one.

Since Kareem never once crossed her mind, it never occurred to her that he might pay her a visit at the hospital.

And she was not the type of person who would curry favor with someone in order to obtain some type of benefit.

Furthermore, she and Kareem had nothing to do with each other, so he must have a reason for his sudden visit.

"I'm really surprised you're here.After all, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Patricia’s cold voice was laced with attitude.

No matter what Kareem had on his mind, she would make sure she wasn't used by hirn.

Hearing this, the smile on Kareem's face was frozen in place.

A flash of coldness could be seen between his eyebrows.

Smiling gently at Patricia, he said, "Miss Sampson, your words make you seem almost unapproachable.If you're acting this way because of my rude behavior in the past, then I would like to apologize to you now."

Then, he bent down slightly as he apologized to her.

However, Patricia was not a fool.

'How can I not know what is on his mind? He wants to apologize to me now so he can have his way.And if I argue with him, it would show that I am too narrow-minded.He wants to kill two birds with one stone! What a scheming man he is! Patricia fell into silence.Instead of speaking her mind, she fixed her eyes on Kareem.Her imposing manner was so intimidating that it made people believe that it was difficult to get close to her.Seeing the resolute look in her eyes, Kareem smiled gently without a trace of fear.He quickly walked to her and placed the fruit basket in front of her.

"Miss Sampson, why not let bygones be bygones? I'm here today to tell you some important news.Apparently, the cooperation between the Veyron Corp.and the Reynolds Group will be canceled soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a touch of coldness flashed across his gentle face while a glimmer of sharpness flitted through his eyes.

Patricia was so stunned that she couldn't help frowning.

She looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Mr.Reynolds, where did you get that news?"

Although she was not in charge of this cooperation anymore, she was very confident in it and believed it would go well.

But now, in less than half a month, something as terrible as this was happening? She really couldn't believe his words! Seeing that Patricia didn't believe him, Kareem snickered and said gently, "Miss Sampson, it's up to you whether to believe me or not.I've delivered the news to you."

Finishing his words, Kareem stood up and left quickly, leaving no chance for her to ask anything more.
