Chapter 250 Hunter's Scheme, Pressuring Patricia to Be with Him
Hunter smirked, and without waiting for Patricia to speak, he preemptively said, "I saw the news this morning, and I was afraid you'd be upset, so I came to see you."
Patricia was indeed upset, but his words disarmed her anger, making it hard for her to lash out.
"This has nothing to do with you!. Ever since that incident at Martin's wedding, I've been hounded by the paparazzi, my popularity rivaling top celebrities. I should've anticipated this and been more careful."
Hunter looked down, ashamed,. "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you! I'm thinking, maybe I should go back to M country firstCountry M. I don't want to cause you any more trouble here."
Patricia thought this was a good idea and was about to nod in agreement when she heard Hunter continue, "Since returning to the Miller family, I haven't felt the New Year's atmosphere of the New Year.. I had wanted to spend New Year's Eve with you., but I didn't expect things to turn out this way. I'm sorry!"."
Women, especially Patricia, tend to have had a soft hearts
Especially Patricia.
heart. After hearing his words and recalling his situation at the Miller family, she forgot everything else and sighed,. "It's not impossible."
Hunter, asAs if seeing a glimmer of hope, suddenlyHunter looked up at her, his eyes shining.
"Can I spend New Year's Eve with you?"
Patricia couldn't stand to see people like this.
It was like seeing a ray of hope in the midst of despair.
Her heart immediately softened, and sheShe nodded,. "Of course! We can spend it with Jade, Randy, Charles, Fannie."
After speaking, she remembered something and hurriedly added, "Oh, and Frank. He's also far from family; I think you two should meet."
He's also far from family; I think you two should meet."
Hunter hugged Fannieher tightly and couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
"Patricia, do you know? Since I went to Country M country, I've been spending New Year's Eve alone!. I've long forgotten what it's like to celebrate it warmly with the warmth of family."
Smelling the familiar fragrance on Patricia, he felt an unprecedented sense of security. It was as if he was holding the whole world.
It was as if he was holding the whole world.
Patricia knew she should push Hunter away.
Since she didn't like him, she should keep her distance.
But, hearing his pitiful words, she really couldn't bring herself to push him away.
Little did she know, at the moment Hunter hugged her, the paparazzi were frantically snapping photos.
Hunter knew when to stop. After hugging Patricia for a while, he immediately let her go and said softly, "Don't worry, I will have someone remove the trending topic shortly. I will issue a clarification explaining that we're just siblings."
"Okay!"
Patricia nodded.
After chatting for a while, Patricia's ears and face were red with cold.
Hunter playfully rubbed her icy cheeks and said with a smile, "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You should go back to work!"
"Okay!"
Patricia still nodded.
Hunter purposefully asked, "Do you want"Want me to accompany you upstairs?"
Patricia shook her head desperately, "No need, they're already misunderstanding. If you take me up, they'll misunderstand even more."
Hunter didn't insist, saying cheerfully, "Alright! Then I'll watch you go in before I leave!"
"Okay!"
Patricia nodded again and turned to enter the hospital building.
Her deep footprints marked the half-foot-thick snow.
Hunter couldn't help but follow her footprints, walking back and forth as if they were holding hands and walking together into their twilight years.
Back in the office, Patricia was ready to explain her relationship with Hunter.
But everyone had gone to make rounds, and there wasn't a single doctor in the office.
The speech she had prepared for so long had no chance to be delivered.
Martin sat absent-mindedly on the sofa in the hospital room, peeling an apple for Randy with a fruit knife, but his mind was occupied with the image of Hunter holding Patricia's hand as they left.
In a moment of carelessness, the fruit knife slipped and cut his thumb.
The wound was deep, and blood instantly gushed out, staining the entire apple red and dripping onto the floor.
"Ah, Daddy, you're hurt..."
!" Randy cried out in alarm and rushed to hold his hand.
Martin suddenly snapped back to reality, looking at his bleeding thumb, feeling no pain, and shook his head indifferently.
"Daddy, what's wrong withwhy are you acting like this today?" Randy's fear due to Martin's abnormal behavior brought tears to his eyes.
Patricia, who came in to check on patients , saw Randy in tears and happened to see this scene, immediately runningran over to hug Randy, "Randyhim. "Baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Randy pointed to Martin's injured hand, sobbing,. "Daddy,... Daddy's hurt,; there's so much blood."
Patricia's breath hitched at the sight of Martin's continuously bleeding thumb, and she quickly checked his wound,. "It's a deep cut,. wWe need to disinfect it right away.
Wait for me,here; I'll get some iodine."
After saying that, sheShe left in a hurry and then returned just as quickly, sitting beside Martin, carefully disinfecting and applying medicine before bandaging the wound.
Once everything was donetended to, she blew gently on it habituallythe bandaged wound out of habit, her thumb gently caressing the bandage, tenderly advisingit with tenderness as she advised, "Try not to getkeep it wetdry today,. I'll come backreturn tomorrow morning to change the dressing for you!" ."
Martin lookedglanced up at her, feeling as if something was gripping his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Quickly regaining composure, he withdrew his hand, putpocketing it in his coat pocket, and suppressed the palpitations, saying emotionlesslyresponded with a detached tone, "Thank you!" ."
His indifference caused Patricia's heart to sink.
WhileAs she was tidyingtidied up the medical kit, she said coldly, "Don't get me wrong,misunderstand. I'm a doctor, so it's my duty."
After speakingWith that, she leftexited the hospital room with, carrying the medical kit. supplies with her.
Martin's gaze involuntarily followedlingered on her departing figure until she completely disappeared, still unsure, uncertain whether to withdrawavert his eyes.
Meanwhile, Randy was in frustration, feeling likefrustrated, perceived his father was being a coward.
For the first time, he realized that his dad could be so timid.

What was are he you hesitating for?!
