Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 37: Worried About Her

Seeing Patricia shut her eyes without uttering a word, the nurse simply figured she must have been too exhausted to make small talk.

Placing her medicine on the table beside her, she exclaimed, "Miss Sampson, Mr.Reynolds is really sweet on you! He was fraught with worry that no one would be looking after you, so as he was leaving just now, he instructed us to take good care of you! Is he very busy with his work?"

When Patricia didn't reply to her question, she just scoffed and added, "Miss Sampson, I have placed the medicine on the table for you.Do remember to take it later.This medicine can only be taken at night, and it will aid you in sleeping.Mr.Reynolds informed us that you didn't sleep well last night, so he had asked the doctor to prescribe you something.You must remember to take it!"

The nurse left after her little speech.

"Bang!"

After hearing the door close with a slam, Patricia opened her eyes slowly, but not before she burst into tears.

At that moment, she didn't want to think about the meaning behind the nurse's words, nor did she want to figure out how Zac had known she hadn't slept well the previous night.

And even if she knew, she wouldn't speculate too much on it.

Sobbing, Patricia lifted the quilt and pulled it over her head.

She endured another sleepless night.

She got up early the following morning, intending to return to the Sampson family.

To her surprise, as soon as she'd gotten up from the bed, in walked Giselle.

"Patricia, my poor daughter...What happened to you?"

The moment Giselle had pushed the door open, she had seen the gauze wrapped around Patricia's head.

Seeing this saddened her, so she went and hugged her daughter while bursting into tears.

"Mom, don't worry about me.I'm fine!"

Patricia patted Giselle on her back, trying to comfort her."Patricia, tell me.Are you really feeling better? I can't believe Sullivan was such a bastard! How could they do this to you?"

Through her tears, Giselle reached out to touch Patricia's forehead.

But she withdrew her trembling hand just before she could touch it, and covering her face instead, she continued crying.

Patricia tried to distract her weeping mother by saying, And even if she knew, she wouldn't speculate too much on it.

Through her tears, Giselle reached out to touch Patricia's forehead.

But she withdrew her trembling hand just before she could touch it, and covering her face instead, she continued crying.

Patricia tried to distract her weeping mother by saying, "Mother, since you're here, can you go and buy me some food? I haven't had breakfast yet, and I'm so hungry!"

As she spoke, she gently shook Giselle's arm and gave her a sincere smile.

"Oh, right! How foolish of me.I just rushed straight over after Zac's call.I completely forgot to buy you breakfast on the way here.Wait a few minutes.I'll go get you something to eat now."

After hearing Patricia's request, Giselle wiped away her tears, picked up her purse, and strode out of the ward, searching for food for her daughter.

"Finally!"

Patricia sighed deeply as she watched her mother exit the ward.

Her presence here meant that Zac had broken his promise to keep quiet about this incident and not notify Giselle.

But he was aware of the fact that Patricia didn't want Giselle involved since she hadn't wanted her mother to be worried about her.

This led her to believe that Zac had done this on purpose, simply to spite her.

Now that Giselle was here to take care of Patricia, she was soon discharged from the hospital.

Before she left the hospital, Giselle had rented a two- bedroom apartment for their use.

She had moved all of Patricia's belongings out of the Sampson family and into this apartment.

This meant that immediately after her discharge, she could move into the new residence one time.

As soon as they arrived at the apartment, Patricia received a phone call.

"Do you recognize my voice, Patricia?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.

Patricia didn't know how to react when she heard that voice.

After the initial shock she received wore off, she replied with a "Hello, boss."

"Patricia, if possible, I hope you can come back to work! Your salary will remain the same!" came the voice of the Veyron Corp.'s president on the other end of the line.

"But why?" Patricia was still skeptical.

She couldn't understand how the same person who had driven her out could come back and ask her to return after a few mere days.

Something must have happened to prompt this.

"Patricia, you have worked in my company since you graduated.I know what kind of person you are! I told you before that I didn't want you to resign.I only intended to let you rest for a few days while this matter blew over before your return.And now that the matter's been resolved, you can come back to the company.We need your talent here!"

The president of the Veyron Corp spoke sincerely when he relayed this.

Although she couldn't see him at the moment, she knew that he was telling the truth.

She was aware that, in fact, the president had valued her all these years! Giselle stood nearby silently.

Although she wasn't aware of who was on the other end of the line, she would accept any decision her daughter made.

"Okay! But I'm not in the best of health right now. I'll need some more time to recover before coming back out to work..."

Although she was not face-to-face with the president, she acted like he was in front of her, nodding earnestly and explaining the situation to him.

"It doesn't matter.You can come back after you've fully recovered.I will keep your position for you,"

the president announced before Patricia could finish her explanation.

"Thank you!"

Patricia said gratefully.

After hanging up the phone, Patricia turned to Giselle and remarked, "Mother, that was the president.He wants me to continue working with them!"

Giselle got upset after hearing Patricia's indifference to the situation.

She knew her daughter meant well and didn't want her to be worried.

After all, Patricia had always been like this.

She always wanted to fight her battles alone, no matter what she was faced with.

"This is your decision to make." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Giselle choked back her sobs.

After that, she turned around and headed for the kitchen.

She planned on making some soup for Patricia, who was still weak and recovering.

In the blink of an eye, a month had already gone by.

During that period, Zac rarely came over to see Patricia.

And although Patricia felt a little uncomfortable from time to time, she had a good time with Giselle by her side.

One day, Patricia got up early in the morning.

She donned her work clothes and applied light makeup to her face.

Then she picked up her bag, put on a pair of high-heeled shoes, and went out.

Yesterday, she had told Giselle that she needn't come over to the apartment today since she had to go to work.

In the Veyron Corp., the president of the company, who was seated in his office, looked up and exclaimed with concern, "Patricia, you're back! Are you feeling better now?"

"Thanks for your concern.I'm much healthier now!"

Patricia answered with a smile, sitting opposite the president.

"Then can I trouble you to take over a project?" the president asked worriedly.

Although she knew that the president was concerned, Patricia had no idea what he was distressed about.

Was he worried about her health or the project?

"I'm fine now.If you need anything done, just tell me!"

Patricia said earnestly.

"Okay, you can go back first.I'll ask my secretary to send the document to you later!"

the president replied and stared at Patricia in admiration.

"Then I'll go back first!"

On her way back to her office, Patricia kept thinking about what kind of project the president wanted her to complete.

"Miss Sampson!"

Lily, who was the first one to see her, greeted her in surprise.

Then a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

Hearing Lily's voice, Patricia looked up.

Seeing her concern written all over her face, Patricia said, "Lily, accompany me to my office!"

Lily nodded and followed Patricia into her office.
