Martin blocked Patricia at the entrance of the hospital room. Looking up, Patricia glanced coldly at him and said, "Mr. Langley, I have other matters to attend to. Please move aside." Martin’s face was filled with apologies as he said, “I’m sorry.” It was the first time Patricia heard those words from him and found it amusing, "No need to apologize, Mr. Langley. You haven't done anything that requires an apology."Detecting her sarcasm, Martin acknowledged his wrongdoing, "I shouldn't have doubted you." Patricia immediately gestured with her hand to stop him, "Don't. Your trust means nothing to me. I don't need it either, so there's no need for apologies. I will have nightmares tonight." Her words were filled with barbs, each one piercing Martin's heart mercilessly, shaking him with anger. "What do you mean, Patricia? I am only concerned about you. Don't be ungrateful." Patricia sneered coldly, her eyes filled with bitterness, "I don't need your concern. We had no relationship fi

Seeing her silence, Martin's expression suddenly turned icy cold. "Why aren't you saying anything, Patricia? Are you hiding something from me?" Patricia forced herself to remain calm and smirked. "Who do you think you are to me? Even married couples have their secrets. Why can't I have something to hide from you?" Her response was an implicit confirmation. Martin's face turned as dark as ink. "Don't try to confuse me. You know exactly what I'm talking about." Patricia deliberately played dumb. "I'm not a mind reader. How am I supposed to know what you're saying?" Martin forcefully grabbed her wrist. "What's in your phone, Patricia? Don't try to fool me. I'm not stupid." "Ouch... it hurts..." Patricia winced as he tightly squeezed her wrist and took a deep breath. "Let go of me and don't get physical. If you really want to know, then I'll show you. It's nothing serious anyway." Upon hearing this, Martin gradually released his grip. Once he let her go, Patricia took out her phone

A coldness flashed in Martin's eyes. Hunter? The Hunter that Patricia would dream about?As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Patricia woke up and rubbed her sleepy eyes. She picked up her phone and glanced at it, accepting Hunter's friend request.Hunter immediately sent a message: ‘You're still awake so late?’Patricia replied, ‘Yeah! And you, why aren't you sleeping?’Hunter said, ‘I was on a business trip the past few days and wasn't in Ivara City. I just got off the plane. When are you free? Let's have a meal together?’Without hesitation, Patricia agreed, ‘Sure! When are you usually available?’Hunter replied, ‘I've been in Ivara City recently, you let me know when you are free, I'm available anytime!’Patricia sent a shy emoticon.Martin, who was openly observing their conversation, was confused. Patricia said, ‘Alright, I'll message you after I finish up what I'm currently dealing with.’Hunter replied, ‘Okay! It's getting late, you should rest. It's good for your skin to

Patricia retaliated without backing down, "Randy is your own great-grandson. Can't a grandson miss his great-grandfather and come to see him? Or are you feeling guilty? Afraid the child might see something?"Gavin's expression turned hideous. "What nonsense are you filling the child's head with? I..."Before he could finish speaking, Randy suddenly picked up a nearby vase and threw it at Gavin. His cute little face turned bright red, resembling an angry beast. "You bad guy! You're not allowed to bully my mommy. If you dare to bully my mommy again, I'll kill you..."Caught off guard, Gavin took the vase straight to his chest. The vase fell to the ground and shattered with a loud "bang." Gavin's face changed, his heart feeling as though it was bleeding. The pain of being hit was nothing compared to the devastation of his heart. After all, the vase was an antique from the Renaissance period that he had spent a hundred million dollars on, and there was only one of its kind. And now, it h

Seeing her cry, Randy hugged her leg and started crying too. Martin felt a surge of protectiveness towards Patricia as he observed them both, crying, together. Gavin was horrified, his palms sweating as he tried to explain, "Martin, there's a misunderstanding in this matter! Patricia and Debbie are both my daughters. I admit that I have been favoring Debbie, but it's because of her poor health and my guilt towards her.” “I just wanted to compensate her more. Patricia not only fails to understand my good intentions, but also repeatedly hurts Debbie. I'm just so disappointed, which is why I almost lost control and wanted to hit her."Rather than reflecting on himself, he shifted all the blame onto Patricia. Martin's pupils contracted, his gaze turning cold and intense, as he spoke with a chilling curve, "Why should Patricia repay your debts? What about the things you owe her all these years? How do you plan to repay her?"With that one statement, Gavin was left speechless. Martin, lik
