Chapter 262
“Was Patrick in the hospitalst night?”
Early in the morning, the sun was pleasantly warm, there were many cars running on the road in the
metropolis.
People hurried to go to work.
Barbara was skillfully driving the car towards the IP&G Group building.She wore a Bluetooth headset
on her right ear because her colleagues reported something to her at this time.She thought it was a
business matter.But the more she heard, the darker her face became.
“You mean, Patrick stayed with Christina the whole night in the hospital?” Her tone became
“It’s true.At about 1 A.Mst night, Mr.Hopkins suddenly called me to bring him a few project
documents and aptop to the hospital.At that time, I was wondering if Mr.Hopkins was ill and was
hospitalized.When I saw the woman who was putting on a drip in the ward, I understood.”
Barbara had always been tactful in her work, so the smart colleagues knew that she had a good
rtionship with the Hopkins family, so many of them volunteered to send her news, especially about
Mr.Hopkins’s private business.
“Barbara, you said Mr.Hopkins had forgotten Christina.What’s going on now? Does Mr.Hopkins
remember her?”
The colleague curiously asked.
Barbara’s face darkened and said, “Which hospital? Send me the address.”
Then she hung up the phone and steered the car sharply at the T-junction, driving to the hospital.Did
Patrick remember her? Barbara drove fast.
Her good mood was ruined as if the sudden news caught her off guard.
“Why did Patrick go to find her?”
Yesterday was Brianna’s birthday.They ate in the Hopkins family.
Chandler said that Christina was missing, with no news.Charles was the first to leave.
It seemed Patrick didn’t care at that time.
Barbara frowned.
She thought he had lost his interest in Christina, but why did he take the initiative to look for her? Did
he really remember her? The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
Patrick received the treatment for the cerebral hemorrhage in Seattle.
The operation ident caused his memory to lose and disorder, which was a great opportunity for her.
In the past, to get close to him, she lied to him that she was Derek’s girlfriend.
Now, she was the only intimate woman in his memory.
She would never allow him to remember Christina.
She jammed on the brakes, the white Bentley stopped outside the hospital.
Wearing in a ck exquisite suit, Barbara brushed her messy long curly hair, got out of the car,
straightened her back, and walked quickly on high heels to the ward, as if she were an elite.But sheProperty belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
didn’t find anyone in that ward.
Standing outside the ward, she called Patrick.But it was a busy tone.She hung up angrily.She thought
for a moment and dialed another number.
This time, the call went through quickly.
Barbara immediately changed a feigned rxed tone and greeted, “Christina, I heard that you were
sick and hospitalized.Where are you now?”
“Miss Parker, we hardly know each other.”
Christina was surprised to receive her call.Her voice was a little hoarse and cold and she wasn’t willing
to be polite to her.
Barbara heard her nasal voice was thick, guessing that she might be sick.
“Miss Dickens, we all know that you haven’t been feeling well recently.Take care of yourself”
This time, Barbara called her “Miss Dickens” directly. She said these with a weird tone.
Christina seemed to be tired and didn’t want to talk to her.She reached out to end up the call.
“Miss Dickens, there’s one thing I need to tell you.Patrick can’t stay upte after his operation.The
doctor has exhorted him repeatedly”
Barbara was shrewd enough to guess what she would do.So she took the lead in reminding her in a
low voice, which was more like sarcasm.
“Don’t think you’re pitiful so all of us should sympathize with you.Think for Patrick, he also needs to be
taken care of.You can’t take care of him, but don’t hurt him.”
Holding the phone, Christina listened to her quietly as usual.
As a senior personnel officer of the group, Barbara was good at reasoning literally and even made her
feel ashamed, but that only happened in the past.
“Barbara, stop ying tricks in front of me.If you want Patrick, go ahead.I don’t care about the man you
can snap.But I don’t think you can.”
Christina’s voice came from the phone, gentle.
Hearing this, Barbara’s face darkened instantly, “If Patrick had forgotten me, would he look at you? You
lied to him that you were Derek’s girlfriend.He found out but he let it go.Do you think it was because he
indulged you or he didn’t care?”
Barbara clutched her phone angrily.She had never known that Christina, the spoiled and willfuldy,
was so sharp-tongued.
Thest sentence, “he indulged you or he didn’t care” really pissed her off.
“Christina, no matter what happened in the past, your only support is gone.Patrick doesn’t need you.I
can help him in his enterprise, apany him, and wait for him.I love him more than you do!”
She had been waiting for love for so long.She didn’t think Christina couldpare with her.
How could this woman get his love? Wasn’t it because of the babies? Now that the babies were gone,
he would know what she had done for him.
For the first time, Christina heard her confess in such a loud voice.Her rival was shouting at her, but
she suddenly fell silent.
Barbara was from the same world as him.She would do anything to get close to Patrick and wait for
him.
“Barbara, do you know what he wants?”
Suddenly, she said in a low voice.
Christina was calm.
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Standing outside the ward, Barbara held her phone in a daze.
She thought that Christina would definitely get angry, but she was calm.What had happened to her? Or
did she underestimate her in the past?
“Miss Parker, the person you’re looking for has been discharged.”
Ayoung nurse came to say to her.Then she came back to her senses.
Barbara quickly smiled as usual.
“Excuse me, when did the man leave? Did they leave together, or the woman left alone?”
Hearing her question, the nurseined immediately.
“You are the patient’s friend, aren’t you? That woman was troublesome, keeping demanding to leave
the hospital.In the end, the man was sitting on the chair beside the bed, guarding.So she stopped
making a scene.It wasn’t until 5 a.m.that the man left.The woman pulled out the needle and ran
away.When Director Ann prepped for rounds, she has gone.”
Barbara did not speak.Her smile was stilted.She wasn’t Christina’s friend.She knew her well.
This woman had kept declining Patrick with no hesitation.
However, Patrick, even if he had forgotten her, would indulge her subconsciously.
