Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 86: Lyndsy's Invitation 

Finding it strange that Patricia had become quiet all of a sudden, Zac subconsciously looked down and saw her complexion had turned red.

She seemed to be a little short of breath.

Pursing his lips, Zac frowned.

‘Her fever must be very high, or she wouldn't have fallen asleep in my arms.Such a silly woman!’

At the moment, Zac was at a loss for words.

‘I finally know just how stubborn Patricia can be.Perhaps there isn't anyone in the world as stubborn as she is.’ He carefully put her on the front passenger seat and gently stroked the hair on her forehead.

This was the first time he had seen her in such a peaceful state.

"Patricia!" he whispered in a low voice, his sexy thin lips slightly pursed.

She looked so lovely and attractive when she was fast asleep.

However, Zac knew that she would don an aloof expression once she woke up.

Thinking this made Zac sigh and shake his head.

He then started the car and drove away from the compound, and headed for the hospital. "Mr.Reynolds, had you brought the patient in any later, she would have been in a dire situation."

Startled by the doctor's words, Zac's heart leaped into his mouth.

He glanced at the doctor beside him before fixing his gaze on Patricia resting on the bed.

Seeing how red her face was, Zac couldn't help but feel a little scared.

‘Will Patricia's life be in danger?’ Noticing Zac's expression, the doctor standing next to him calmly said,

"Mr.Reynolds, you don't need to worry.The patient's condition is stable now.Fortunately, you brought her here in time."

Hearing that, Zac secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With a faint smile on his face, he unconsciously reached out his hand to stroke her face.

"Thank you, doctor!"

Zac nodded politely to the doctor before turning his gaze back on Patricia, not wanting to look away from her for too long.

Noticing Zac's demeanor, the doctor winked at the nurse before leaving.

The nurse, in turn, left shortly after he hooked Patricia up to the IV drip.

Zac sat beside the bed, Patricia's slender wrist grasped firmly in his hand.

His eyes remained glued to her.

From the moment she had entered the hospital, Patricia was in a coma-like state.

He had assumed it was simply a result of her high fever and fatigue, but he had not expected that her life would be in such grave danger.

This thought made him hold her hand tighter as if holding on to precious treasure.

He feared she would accidentally disappear from his sight the next moment.

Zac was unnerved by the intense flush on her face.

Unconsciously, he raised his hand and gently stroked her face.

"You stupid woman!" said Zac in a low voice.

He couldn't do anything for her since she was unwilling to let him into her life.

However, her behavior only fueled Zac's desire to get closer to her.

He hoped for the day when they could have a close and steady relationship. His slender fingers gently caressed her cheeks, and a trace of tenderness flashed through his eyes.

Patricia was the only thing on his mind at the moment.

‘If Patricia could see my expression, she would be shocked!’ The nurse had returned and changed the infusion three times in a row.She only stopped when Patricia's temperature had returned to normal.

Seeing that Patricia's complexion was back to normal, Zac secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With a soft smile on his lips, he carefully tucked her in, fearful that she would become cold.

All of a sudden, his phone rang.

Even in her sleep, Patricia could be seen frowning due to the noise.

Seeing this, Zac immediately hung up the call.

Stroking her frown away, he gazed at Patricia with gentle eyes.

Leaving her side for a bit, he went onto the balcony.

As soon as he took out his phone, it rang again.

Noticing that Lyndsy was the caller, Zac frowned and ignored the call.

He thought that Lyndsy would take the hint and not call back.

However, as he turned around and was about to head back into the room, his phone rang again.

Zac pursed his lips with a long face.

Subconsciously, he took a look at Patricia before reluctantly answering the phone.

"Hello," said Zac in a low tone, a trace of impatience lacing his voice.

However, Lyndsy didn't notice Zac's annoyance at all.

Instead, she uttered happily, "Zac, are you free tomorrow?"

Hearing her question made Zac pause for a moment.

He didn't want to give her a reply.

Lyndsy, on the other hand, mistook Zac's silence to mean he was waiting for her to offer more information, so she said, "Tomorrow is my father's birthday.My family will be holding a party.Do you want to attend it with me?"

She nervously awaited Zac's reply.Zac pursed his lips sullenly.

A thought occurred to him, so instead of refusing her offer, he coughed and replied, "If I have time, I will attend the party."

Zac's response was good news to Lyndsy's ears.Excited by the prospect of his attendance, she remarked in a spoiled tone, "By that time, you will..."

"I'm busy now.Bye."

Zac immediately hung up the phone then, leaving no chance for Lyndsy to finish speaking.

He had only agreed to attend the birthday party in order to clarify the relationship between himself and Lyndsy.

There was too much gossip floating around about Lyndsy and himself, and it kept giving Patricia the wrong impression of him.

Judging from what Lyndsy had said during the call, she was already acting as if she was his woman. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Zac couldn't help but feel displeased and disgusted by this. Zac made his way over to Patricia's side.

A slight smile touched his lips as he looked at how peaceful she was while asleep.

"You look so lovely and attractive like this!"

Seeing her beautiful sleeping face pleased Zac.

Bending over, he gently kissed her on the forehead.

If only she could be so quiet all the time.

Sometimes she drove him insane, and Zac disliked that sort of feeling. At the same time, Lyndsy, who was in the living room of the Sampson family's home, unhappily made her way over to Yolanda after her phone conversation with Zac.

She was pouting her lips as if she had just been greatly wronged.

Seeing her expression, Yolanda took a bite of her watermelon before asking Lyndsy in confusion, "What's wrong, dear?"

"Mom, Zac hung up the phone while I was talking to him!"

Lyndsy stamped her feet angrily and bit her lower lip.

She felt humiliated when Zac had hung up the phone without listening to her.

Hearing that, Yolanda chuckled.

Pointing to the tip of Lyndsy's nose, she said, "If Zac didn't answer your call altogether, don't you think you would have been even more furious?"

"Of course, I would have been!" Lyndsy turned to look at Yolanda in a huff.

As she opened her mouth to speak, something occurred to her.

Shocked by her own thoughts, she looked at Yolanda quizzically.

"My dear daughter, don't you understand? It would not be a good sign for you only when Zac refuses to answer the phone.What did he say to you before he hung up?"

"He said he was busy."

Although Lyndsy held her suspicions, when she looked at Yolanda, she calmed down.

Yolanda nodded slightly upon hearing the words.

She tapped the tip of Lyndsy’s nose again and comforted her saying, "See, he did tell you he was busy.He is an important man, after all.He can't be with you every day, so you should try to be more understanding of his situation."
