After Nicholas left, Zac's face was stiff from anger.
He wanted nothing more than to barge into the Sampson family's home and demand an explanation.
'How dare they hurt my woman like this.’ As much as he wanted to make a scene at the Sampson
family home, he knew that this alone wouldn't be enough to hold them accountable.
After all, he had no conclusive evidence to back his accusations.
So, if he rushed over there rashly, it could negatively impact the company.
Furthermore, Patricia was not in a stable condition yet, so he couldn't leave her side.
Zac then took a deep breath as he suppressed his anger.
‘One day, I will make the Sampson family pay for what they have done!’ At that time, Zac didn't realize
that someone's furtive eyes were fixed on him.
This man picked up his phone and dialed a number.
After conversing for a bit, the man spying on Zac withdrew from his spot and left.
Conversely, in the living room of the Sampson family's house, Lyndsy eagerly looked at Yolanda as she
awaited news on Patricia's condition.
Before they had left the ward, Lyndsy saw that Patricia was on the cusp of dying with her own eyes.
So, Lyndsy knew the chances of her surviving were low.
What she feared the most now was being discovered.
'If it becomes known what I have done to Patricia, then my future...This thought terrified Lyndsy so
much that she wrapped her arms around her body as a chill ran down her spine.Noticing Lyndsy's
abnormal behavior, Yolanda hung up the phone and asked worriedly, "My dear girl, what's wrong with
you?"
‘Is Lyndsy afraid of something?’ Hearing her mother's voice, Lyndsy came to her senses at once.
Looking at her mother with despair in her eyes, she asked, "Mom, am I going to be found out?"
It was not until this moment that Lyndsy felt a little scared.
When she saw Patricia, all sense of reasoning abandoned her, and she couldn't think of anything else
except hurting Patricia.
Hearing this, Yolanda stretched out her arms to hold Lyndsy and gently touched her nose.
"My darling daughter, it's okay.I've got this situation handled.No one knows that you've paid a visit to
that bitch."
"Is that true?"
Lyndsy looked at Yolanda suspiciously, her eyes expressing a mixture of both disbelief and hope.
Yolanda nodded firmly, touched the tip of Lyndsy‘s nose again, and smiling proudly, she said, "And
Patricia doesn't stand a chance of surviving!"
A trace of coldness flashed through Yolanda's eyes.Hearing this, Lyndsy burst into laughter.
The unhappiness she had suppressed over the past few days suddenly disappeared.
Lyndsy was elated at the thought of Patricia dying.
She asked, "Mom, are you serious? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Lyndsy held onto Yolanda's hand excitedly, awaiting her answer to confirm what was just said.
Yolanda looked at Lyndsy dotingly and said softly, "My sweet girl, when have I ever lied to you?"
Smiling complacently, Lyndsy nodded.
‘Indeed, over the years mom has never lied to me and was able to solve any problem I was faced with.
She really is awesome! Yolanda breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Lyndsy's usual smile return to her
charming face.
Thinking back on the birthday party, Yolanda couldn't help but get infuriated.
This time, she would get her revenge for her daughter.
Patricia's death would undoubtedly be a great benefit for Yolanda.
On the one hand, Giselle's world would crumble, and life would become unbearable after losing her
daughter.
And on the other hand, Patricia's demise would eliminate the competition and leave Lyndsy as the sole
heir to the Sampson family's fortune.
Thinking of this, Yolanda smiled confidently.
Looking at her daughter affectionately, she only wanted to give her the best.
After all, she felt like she owed it to Lyndsy and should make up for the suffering she endured in the
past.
However, while she was gazing lovingly at Lyndsy, she got lost in thoughts of her daughter and failed to
notice the viciousness secretly hiding behind Lyndsy's eyes.
Lyndsy instantly understood why Patricia claimed her status in the Sampson family on that birthday
party.
She realized that even with a bad reputation, Patricia was still a member of the Sampson family.
And before her grandfather had left, it appeared that he had written a will for Patricia.
‘At that time, I was still young and didn't know what had happened when I stumbled upon that by
accident.But I know better now.And if that bitch, Patricia, wants to acquire the Sampson family's
property, then she has another thing coming.I wouldn't let it fall into her hands!"
After returning to the ward, Zac sat there like a stone statue, his eyes focused only on Patricia.
There was a slight frown forming on his brows.
It was as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders.
He held Patricia's wrist tightly with his slender fingers as if he was trying to give her strength.He was
worried that she would leave him like this.
The anxiety Zac felt was too much for him to bear.
Suddenly, he felt Patricia's hand grab his wrist.
She gripped his hand so tightly it was almost like she was grasping onto a life preserver.
Zac became alarmed by her movement, but he heard her mutter something before he could do
anything.
Zac moved closer to her mouth as he struggled to hear what she was whispering.
"Don't leave me..."
Hearing what Patricia said in such a weak voice, Zac finally understood what she meant.
He held her hand more tightly and said firmly, "I won't leave you.I promise!"
However, Patricia didn't hear anything Zac had said.
She kept repeating those words as if she was stuck in a nightmare.
Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.
"No, I won't leave you!"
This time, Zac whispered into Patricia's ear, again and again, as if he wanted to imprint those words on
her mind.
Perhaps it was because of Zac's words or because of the strength his hand provided her, but Patricia
frowned, and then her long, thin eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
Patricia wasn't surprised to see Zac beside her.
Looking expectantly at him, she said, "You're finally here!"
Zac frowned and rolled his eyes as he heard this.
Then reaching out his hand, he subconsciously touched Patricia's forehead before gently kissing her.
In a soft voice, he said, "I'm here, Patricia.There's no need to be afraid."
With great difficulty, Patricia nodded her acknowledgment of his words.
A faint smile appeared on her lips, but her eyes were clouded with confusion.
"Will you leave me, Zac?"
Patricia asked weakly, but the expectant look on her face made him pay attention to her.Zac looked
Patricia in her eyes as he made his promise.
"No, I won't leave you," he said as his sexy thin lips curved slightly into a faint smile.
"Really?"
At that moment, Patricia was like a child, continuously asking for reassurance to ease her mind.
"Really!" Zac answered with a firm nod.
He looked at her with a dignified and domineering face.
Anyone seeing this expression would know he meant what he said.
Hearing this, Patricia couldn't help but smile at him.
But again, she asked him, "Are you really telling me the truth?"
Zac couldn't help but frown in confusion.
He didn't understand what Patricia meant.
He had said a lot, so he didn't know which truth she was referring to.
Seeing the bewilderment on Zac's face, Patricia smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Did you really
mean it when you told me that you are my family?"
Patricia looked earnestly at Zac as she asked him this.
Needing to hear his answer, she immediately grabbed onto his hand as she waited expectantly for his
reply.
