Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 124: You're My Loved One! 

Zac was momentarily dazed by the earnestness he saw in Patricia's face.A touch of tenderness overcame him. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Chuckling, he said softly, "Yes, I didn't lie to you.You're my loved one, and I'm the closest person you have in this world.I will give you all my love in the future."

Zac then subconsciously bent over and gave Patricia a gentle kiss on her cheek, a sign of his promise to her.

Patricia grinned upon hearing Zac's words.

Seeing her faint smile against her pale face sent Zac into a panic.

Before Zac could respond, Patricia's eyes had closed once again.

Her expression was one of contentment.

"Patricia?" Zac called out in a low voice while giving her a little shake.

Zac began to panic as he saw Patricia's motionless body lying on the bed.

A trace of fear emerged in his heart.

He was too scared to say anything.

He just silently gazed at Patricia, waiting for her to rouse from her slumber.

Zac repeatedly called Patricia's name and continued to shake her, but she didn’t respond at all.

Seeing her like this made him think she had fallen into a coma.

Such a sight had left Zac feeling overwhelmed.

After staring at her for a minute, he realized that Patricia's life might actually be in danger again.

Jumping up, he rushed out of the ward in search of a doctor.

‘Patricia, please be safe.May God bless you and keep you safe from danger!’ Only after the doctor gave Patricia a medical checkup could Zac breathe a sigh of relief.

Apparently, he had been too nervous to remain calm and rational.

Patricia had only fallen asleep due to her exhaustion, but he had thought that...Zac was also informed by the doctor that Patricia had fortunately passed through the critical period and was now safe.

Seeing Patricia sleeping peacefully, Zac smiled lovingly down at her and sighed in relief.

The anxiety and worry that had been suppressed in his heart now disappeared as he knew her life was no longer in danger.

Subconsciously, he bent over and tucked Patricia in.

Eyes full of warmth, he whispered in her ear, "My dear, remember that what I said to you just now remains true.I didn't lie to you."

Zac suddenly felt refreshed as he spoke this truth out loud.

The smile tugging at the corners of his mouth became more obvious.

Sitting down, he admired Patricia's beautiful face as she lay sound asleep next to him.

Several hours had passed since then, and Zac was so tired that he fell asleep.

Dora, who was on duty, had come over to the ward to check on Patricia.

Quietly opening the door, she peered into the room and saw Patricia fast asleep on the bed.

A smile graced Dora's lips when she noticed that Zac had dozed off on the edge of Patricia's bed.

"It's only at times like this that they look like an intimate couple,"

Dora said quietly to herself as she grinned from ear to ear.

She had high expectations that they would warm up to each other soon.

Patricia didn't wake from her slumber until the following evening.

The warm afterglow shone through the window and onto her thin, long eyelashes.

Slowly opening her eyes, she looked at her surroundings in a daze.

She was still in the same room.

However, now she was lying on the bed instead of the ground suffering from agonizing pain.

Before she could process what had happened, Dora's chipper voice floated to her ears.

"Miss Patricia, you're finally awake!"

Dora beamed as she began to apply the medicine on Patricia's back.

Making friendly conversation, Dora said, "You slept for a full day and night.So, I was worried that you wouldn't wake until midnight.Miss Patricia, you must be hungry now.I'll get you something to eat after I finish applying the medicine for you."

Dora's voice had helped to fully awaken Patricia from her daze.

Suddenly, the events from the day before flooded Patricia's mind.She recalled Lyndsy pushing her, which caused her to bump into the balcony's railing.

The excruciating pain she felt from that contact had led to her fainting.But that's when her memory went blank.

She couldn't remember anything that happened after that.

"Dora, I..."

As if knowing what Patricia wanted to say, Dora immediately interrupted her and said with a smile, "Miss Patricia, you fainted yesterday, and a second operation was performed on you.Fortunately, the operation was a success, and you have passed through the critical period.But the doctor said that you must be more careful in the future and not let yourself get hurt again!"

Hearing this, Patricia nodded slightly.

She glanced around the room unconsciously as she searched for a specific familiar figure.

Noticing Patricia's wandering gaze, Dora couldn't help but grin.She spoke up then.

"Miss Patricia, Mr.Reynolds stayed with you throughout the night.He was by your side until you made it past the critical period.And just before you awoke, he left to take care of something."

Dora looked at Patricia expectantly, hoping to see a tender smile on Patricia's face from hearing this news.

However, Dora was disappointed by Patricia's reaction.

Except for a slight nod, Patricia showed no expression on her face.She still appeared indifferent to Zac's actions.

Dora couldn't help pouting at this sight.

A trace of helplessness flashed across her face, and she felt slightly depressed.

‘Mr.Reynolds is actually so good to Miss Patricia Su, so why isn’t she moved by his sincere acts?’ wondered Dora.

Patricia's indifferent attitude toward Zac made Dora feel helpless and a little morose.

Inexplicably, she felt distressed about Zac's situation.

It was during this time that a trace of confusion flashed across Patricia's face.

Lowering her gaze, she stared at the floor as she became lost in thought.

‘Did Zac really spend the night with me?’ All of a sudden, Patricia vaguely remembered what had transpired the night before.

She had thought it was all a dream, so she had laid her heart out and asked Zac the questions that were locked away in her heart.

As her mind was about to wander, Patricia recalled his familiar voice softly whispering into her ear.She remembered Zac's promise to her.He had told her that he was the closest person she had in this world and that he would never abandon her.

Apparently, what she had mistaken for a dream had actually happened in reality.

Zac had given her his promise to never leave her side.

Realizing this, Patricia couldn't help feeling amazed.

There was an incredulous look on her face.

She found it hard to believe what had happened the night before.

‘Is it true that Zac said I was his loved one?' As Patricia wondered about this, a frown formed on her brows, giving the impression that she was thinking seriously about something.

At that moment, Dora was busy applying the medicine to Patricia's back.

The medicine pricked her nerves, pulled Patricia away from her thoughts as she let out a muffled groan.

Hearing Patricia's groan, Dora couldn't help but frown as she felt sorry for her distress.

"Miss Patricia, hang in there for a while.This medicine will sting a little.But you.

"Go on, Dora.Finish it quickly!"

Patricia interrupted Dora, informing her to speed up the application of the medicine.

Dora did as instructed so that Patricia wouldn't have to bear this pain for much longer.

After she was finished, she brought some food over to Patricia.

"Miss Patricia, these were all bought for you by Mr.Reynolds," Dora said with a smile.

She thought she needed to tell Patricia the truth to help her have a better understanding of Zac's intentions.

Hearing what Dora said, Patricia smiled gently at her.

It was only after seriously looking at the meal in front of her that Patricia realized how much Zac had been taking care of her all this time.

The more she became aware of Zac's kindness, the more shocked she felt in her heart.

‘For how long has Zac been taking such good care of me? Since I had the fever or was it some other time when I don't even notice?’ pondered Patricia.

At any rate, Patricia now knew very well that Zac was genuinely good to her.

But as for Zac's good intentions, she had conflicting thoughts about it.

Her heart warmed at the sentiment, but she couldn't help feeling afraid too.

‘Afraid? What am I afraid of?' These conflicting emotions confused Patricia.

She didn't know how she was going to face Zac when next she saw him.
