Chapter 22

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.

He glanced at the screen, then handed the phone to me with a helpless smile before answering the call.

It was Kevin.

Oh no! I sat restlessly by his side.

The two of them discussed some business matters. Just when they were about to finish their conversation, a sudden remark came from the other end of the phone, “Is there a woman in your car?”

My heart skipped a beat. “Yes, can’t I have a woman with me?” Patrick fearlessly replied. “Who is it?” Patrick glanced at me, “You don’t know her.” “It’s best that I don’t know her. Patrick, I’m warning you, if I find out that you’re still thinking about Christina, I’ll kill you.”

“Do you have to be so violent, Master Lu? Didn't you break up with her?” “Nonsense.” “That's what her friend told me.” “You're looking for trouble, you'll never have a chance in this lifetime!” Me: ! What is Patrick up to? Kevin got angry and hung up the phone directly. The next second, my phone rang.

It was Kevin. Patrick chuckled as he watched. “This Kevin, he explodes at the drop of a hat. “Really funny. “Answer it, if you don't, he'll definitely charter a private jet back tonight.” How do I answer? What if I'm discovered... “Then don't say a word.”

With that, I pressed the answer button. “Where are you?” his tone sounded urgent. “Outside.” We're still in a cold war, did he forget? “Who are you with?” “Katie.” I lied. “Then let me talk to her.” Me: ?! “Do you have a reason to call me?”

I tried to sound angry. “Can't I call you if there's nothing going on?” he was getting a little annoyed. “If you shout at me again, I'll hang up.” I finally stood my ground, but it was just an excuse to end the call. “You dare!” I didn't want to argue with him anymore, so I raised my hand to hang up the phone.

Patrick next to me gave a thumbs up and praised me with his eyes. “Wait!” the tone on the other end suddenly changed. “Um, is there something else?” “Dr. Hayes, my wound is a bit infected...” Me: ?! “Aren't you already healed?”

“I got an infection after coming here, the pain is unbearable and I can't sleep, I'm dying.” Dying? Three black lines appeared on my forehead. Just now, I was arguing with Patrick on the phone, and now I suddenly became weak and on the verge of death. This change was too fast. “Then go see a doctor yourself.” I was really afraid that he would say something else, I just wanted to hang up the phone.

But whatever you’re afraid of, it will come. “I’m only used to being taken care of by you, Dr. Hayes, you have to take responsibility for me.”

My face turned red in an instant. Patrick twisted his face and laughed, even covering his ears. “Let's talk about it when you come back.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Only then did he hang up the phone satisfied. After hanging up the phone, the entire car was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

“I can't believe that Lu Da Master, who kills without blinking, has to resort to acting weak and begging for forgiveness.” Patrick glanced at me.

“He's not begging for forgiveness.” “Well

“Right? Do you believe that someone who grew up abroad would have difficulty adapting to the local environment?” he sighed, “He really likes you, huh?”

He said this, and I didn't know what to say.

Until I got off the car, I didn't say a word to him anymore.
