Patricia couldn't help thinking how adorable Dora looked when she cried.She gave others the
impression that she was a simple and pure girl.
"There is no need to cry.If you keep crying, people may really believe I have died," Patricia teased.
Dora's crying eased up.
Looking seriously at Patricia, she said angrily, "Miss Patricia, how can you joke about such a thing?"
Seeing her like this, Patricia pretended to beg Dora for her forgiveness.
Seeing Dora angry on her behalf made Patricia inexplicably feel that she was a lovely girl.
Dora's presence helped increase Patricia's mood putting her in a slightly happier state.
Dora tried her best not to be angry when she saw Patricia's smile.
But what Patricia had said just now made Dora very worried and more determined to meet Zac to talk
about it.
After applying more medicine on Patricia's body, they both chatted for a while before Dora had to leave.
Apparently, Dora had switched her shift with another nurse to take care of some personal matters.
This meant that Patricia would be on her own today.
For some reason, Patricia felt empty inside when she realized that she wouldn't be able to hear Dora's
laugh.
She felt an emptiness in her heart as if she was a child that had been thrown into a dark cave, waiting
alone and in fear until someone came to her rescue.
Patricia hadn't felt like this in a long time.
She found it was strange that this thought had occurred to her again.
Unexpectedly, she knew she was looking forward to someone's appearance, but she wasn't quite sure
who.
‘Is it Dora? Or Zac?’ She quickly shook her head to dismiss Zac's image that had suddenly popped up
in her mind.
She didn't want to think of him.
The next moment, a strange nurse's voice woke her up.
Opening her eyes, Patricia smiled politely at the nurse.
But for some reason, it was apparent that the nurse didn't like her.
She could see a trace of disgust flashing through the nurse's eyes.
Patricia was confused when she saw this.
This was her first time meeting this nurse, so she couldn't understand why the nurse was looking at her
with such disgust in her eyes.
There should be no grudges between them to warrant this behavior.
"Excuse me..."
Before Patricia could finish her sentence, the nurse stared at her in disgust and cursed her in a low
voice, saying, "You bitch!"
Patricia instantly got angry and frowned.
Had this been Lyndsy, she would have reined in her temper and just ignored her.
However, this was someone she was unfamiliar with, so she readily fought back.
"Miss, please behave yourself.You shouldn't be speaking to your patients like this!"
Patricia said as she stood up and looked down at the nurse coldly.
Although she didn't know what was going on, she was not a pushover! She wouldn't allow herself to be
bullied by this nurse.
"Behave myself? Why didn't you behave yourself? You, the eldest daughter of the Sampson family,
stole your sister's fiancé!"
The nurse put the medicine bottle aside discontentedly and glared at Patricia.
Apparently, she was not afraid of challenging Patricia.
Frowning, Patricia carefully looked at the nurse, not knowing what was going through her mind.
‘This nurse in front of me has absolutely nothing to do with me.
And she is not the type of person who would fit into Lyndsy's circle of friends.
Besides, she is the type that Lyndsy would scorn if she was made to talk to her.
So, why is this woman laying charges against me?’ What angered Patricia more, though, was the
unpleasant vocabulary that this nurse was using.
"Miss, please watch your mouth, or I'll resort to calling the police."
Patricia glanced at her coldly as she exhaled a deep breath.She wouldn't be polite if this nurse spoke ill
of her one more time.
Seeing the righteous look on Patricia's face, the nurse became even angrier.
She ferociously glared at Patricia and said fiercely, "You are just a bitch who only relies on your body to
seduce men!"
Without further ado, Patricia picked up her mobile phone and was about to make a call when her phone
was snatched away by the nurse.
Throwing her phone on the ground, the nurse sneered at her and said, "Do you think a bitch like you
has the right to call the police?"
Patricia became so enraged at this that she raised her hand, ready to strike the nurse.She was no
pushover, and she was about to prove it.
"Slap."
The nurse recoiled and screamed out from the pain.
Covering her face, she looked at Patricia with deep resentment in her eyes as if she wanted to swallow
her whole.
Seeing the angry bloodshot eyes of the nurse, Patricia realized something was amiss.
Before she could regain her senses, the nurse pounced on her and grabbed her wrist.
The nurse's strength was so strong that Patricia thought her wrist was going to break.
"Bitch! How dare you hit me? You bitch!"
The nurse's eyes were red, and her hair a little messy.Glaring at Patricia like a crazy woman, the nurse
raised her free hand to slap Patricia and teach her a lesson.
Startled by this sight, Patricia struggled to free herself from the nurse's grip, but she wasn't strong
enough.
Seeing the nurse's palm aimed at her face, Patricia instinctively raised her hand to block the strike.
Suddenly, a scream rang out from above her head.
Slowly opening her eyes, Patricia saw that Zac had firmly grabbed hold of the nurse's hand.
A touch of coldness washed over his face as he glared at the nurse.
Patricia was so shocked by Zac's save that her frantic heartbeat took a while to normalize.An
inexplicable feeling swept over her heart.
In a daze, she stared blankly at Zac.
"Say that again, you crazy woman!" roared Zac angrily.
He never hit women, but that didn't mean that some women couldn't be punished.
And the woman in front of him definitely deserved to be beaten.
Seeing the coldness in Zac's eyes, a chill ran down the nurse's spine.
She still, however, cursed at Patricia.
"Since you love a bitch like her so much, that also makes you a jerk!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zac slapped her hard in the face.
Turning his sharp gaze on her, he said, "This is my wife.How dare you call her a bitch? You insolent
woman!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged the nurse out and asked the security guard to take her
away.Zac returned to Patricia's room with a worried look on his face.
In a soft voice, he asked, "Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Patricia was still in shock from being rescued by Zac.
Staring at him with her clear eyes, she opened and closed her mouth several times as she tried to say
something, but her mind had gone blank.
Seeing the expression on her face, Zac frowned and looked at her worriedly.
He was afraid that she had gotten hurt, so he inspected her for any visible bruises.
"Did you get hurt anywhere? Did that crazy woman strike you hard just now?" asked Zac as his
eyebrows knitted together in a frown.
Seeing the frown on his forehead, Patricia unconsciously raised her hand to smoothen it and
murmured, "You look so ugly with that frown!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she seriously smoothened out Zac's wrinkled forehead.
Zac became confused by her actions which were unlike her usual behavior.
Then remembering what Dora had told him earlier, he frowned and said, "If anything is bothering you,
you can share it with me.Don't keep it locked up in your heart."
Zac's soft voice was like the spring breeze in March, refreshing her.It tugged at her heartstrings,
making her tremble.Noticing her odd behavior, Zac quickly stepped forward and opened his long arms.
As he was about to embrace her, he paused mid-air, afraid that he would hurt her wound.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Zac asked, concern lacing his soft voice.
