Chapter 629 I have encountered Hunter
"Patricia, smart and talented, grasped things quickly.
Kaleb, not holding back, wanted to teach all his medical skills to Patricia.
Seeing Patricia's intelligence, he couldn't help but feel pleased and proud. "You are truly my daughter, so gifted! I've taught many students, but even the most diligent ones can't compare to you!"
Feeling uneasy, Patricia lowered her head, unable to meet his eyes directly, just smiled modestly and said, ""I just have a good memory, and I studied exceptionally well because I urgently wanted to save Martin.""
Thinking she was joking, Kaleb didn't say much and continued, ""Medicine is vast and profound! If you're interested, I can slowly teach you in the future, passing on all I know to you.""
Curiously, Patricia asked, "You're from the United States, why did you choose to study medicine?"
Kaleb chuckled. "My mother was a doctor before, and my grandfather's family were all in the medical field. Influenced by them, I've been interested in medicine since I was young. It's difficult to master medicine because it covers a wide range of fields. But I'm very skilled in medicine!" Kaleb concluded, praising himself.
Patricia suddenly understood.
Kaleb continued, "Most of the patients' families who came to argue with me don't believe in medicine or my treatment plans."
He could say this so casually.
It showed he no longer cared.
From the moment he found his daughter, he had let go completely.
Patricia smiled at him, comforting, "I believe in you!"
Kaleb chuckled, glanced at the time, took out the medicine, and handed it to Patricia.
""Hurry and give it to Martin!""
Patricia nodded, about to leave with the insulated box, but was stopped by Kaleb.
Patricia turned to look at him.
Kaleb looked very nervous, hesitated for a while, and stuttered, "After Martin's condition stabilizes, can I meet the children?"
The children he mentioned were Patricia's five children.
Since knowing he had grandchildren, he had been eager to meet them.
But because Martin's condition was critical, he hadn't dared to ask until now.
Unable to refuse him, Patricia smiled and nodded, "Alright! If you don't mind, after Martin's condition stabilizes, you can come back with me. Martin is being treated in Ivara City, and you can also bond with the children."
Patricia agreed to his request, making Kaleb very happy.
"Good, good, good! I can go back with you. As long as I can be with you all, I can live anywhere."
Patricia stiffened for a moment, her smile becoming somewhat forced and unnatural as she nodded.
At that moment, she had a ridiculous idea.
Perhaps it was fine to continue pretending.
To ensure Kaleb had no regrets in his life.
To repay Kaleb's lifesaving grace to Martin, she could take care of him in his later years and be his daughter.
Carrying the medicine in the insulated box, Patricia walked out of Kaleb's residence.
She was preparing to take a taxi outside.
Halfway there, a figure flashed past her.
She suddenly froze, feeling bewildered and her mind going blank. When she tried to see the figure clearly, it had already disappeared.
Was it Hunter?
She frantically searched around while clutching the insulated box.
But the area was too large, with artificial hills, water features, and waterfalls. She searched around but didn't see the figure again.
What was going on?
How could Hunter be here?
Did she see it wrong?
Was the person just similar in appearance to Hunter, not actually him?
Hunter was poisoned, how could he recover and appear as a normal person?
Yes!
It definitely wasn't him.
She must have been mistaken.
Even if Hunter was still alive, why would he come here?
Although she tried to reassure herself, recent events left her unable to calm down. Just then, her phone rang.
It was the taxi driver calling.
He hadn't seen her at the entrance of the villa area and was afraid of being stood up, so he couldn't help but call her.
Apologizing while running to the entrance, Patricia got into the car and called Charles.
Today happened to be a day off, so Charles should be at home at this time.
As expected, he answered the phone quickly.
"Mom, why are you calling me at this time? Did something happen to Dad?"
Charles's voice was filled with concern.
Patricia reassured, "Your dad has been fine these days, nothing's wrong!"
Hearing this, Charles visibly relaxed. "Then Mom, why are you calling me? Do you need my help with something?"
Patricia chuckled. "You are indeed my son. You're so clever."
Charles fell silent and said, "I don't want to be this clever! You always call me at night, and the few times you call during the day, it's always to ask for help."
Patricia fell silent.
Was she really like that?
How did she not notice?
Seeing her not speaking, Charles urged, "Alright, I know you're busy during the day, only have time to contact us at night! Come on, what do you need my help with?"
Patricia then explained the reason for her call, "I think I saw Hunter in the United States?"
Upon hearing this name, Charles was extremely surprised.
"He's not dead yet?"
Patricia said, "Maybe I was mistaken, just glanced and didn't see the person clearly, so I'm not sure if it was him. I think I might have imagined it and got scared when I saw someone with a similar figure. But! I'm afraid it really was him! So I want you to check if you can find information on Hunter entering the country."
Charles readily agreed, "Okay! I'll check, both the name and appearance!"
Patricia said, "Not long ago, when I was doing business in the United States, I had Lucas investigate him at the United States branch's Nathan. Nathan said Hunter was already dead, with a death certificate, and his registration was canceled."
Frowning, Charles said, "If his registration has been canceled, then checking his name is pointless, the result will be the same! Facial recognition! Check that face. People can change many names, but the face remains the same."
Patricia blurted out, "What if he had plastic surgery? Then both the name and face would change, right?"
Charles fell silent.
Patricia then thought she might have really imagined Hunter, hence the doubt and fear.
"Go check first! I think, maybe I was just overthinking."
Charles nodded, "Okay! I'll contact you as soon as I have results!"
After ending the call, Patricia calmed down a bit, no longer afraid. She prayed in her heart, comforting herself, hoping she had imagined it.
It's fine! Nothing like that would happen for sure."
