Chapter 96


    Gwendolyn smiled when she heard that. “You''re already a great help tonight, Mr. Lowen. Thank you!”


    Patrick had no intention of leaving. He slumped on the couch and stared intently at her. “Just remember


    my good side.”


    She raised her eyebrow slightly with unease. Is he trying to make me pay again? I can''t just chase him


    away either. After all, I''m depending on him to make a living. If I disobey him, he can just fire me, and


    I''ll lose my job.


    After adjusting the nket on Juliette, she sat on the chair next to the bed and stared at the little girl.


    He, in turn, stared at her. Silence befell the room.


    When Juliette''s drip finished, it was already two in the morning. Gwendolyn yawned and pressed the


    bell.


    Soon, a nurse arrived in the room. She blushed when she saw the man sitting on the couch.


    A man as handsome as him would make any woman blush at the sight of him.


    She pulled out the needle and handed the medicine to Gwendolyn. “This is Juliette''s medicine.


    Consume one after meal three times a day.”

    Gwendolyn grabbed it and said, “Thanks. Do we need toe over tomorrow to get an injection?”


    “Yes. Three consecutive days of injections are required.”


    “All right.” Gwendolyn nodded.


    The nurse still stared at the handsome man on the couch as she walked out of the room slowly.


    Gwendolyn put the medicine into her bag and went to carry Juliette.


    Suddenly, a big hand grabbed her wrist.


    “I''ll carry her,” Patrick offered.


    She turned to him. “It''s fine. I carry her all the time. She''s quite heavy.”


    It was too embarrassing for her to let him carry her daughter. Juliette wasn''t that heavy, but


    continuously carrying her was tiring.


    She had gotten used to it as a mother. Besides, Juliette was a quite vtile child who didn''t like to


    walk.


    “I can carry you with her in your arms.” He smirked before pinching her waist gently. “Do you want to


    give it a try?”


    He wasn''t going to let her doubt his strength.


    That actually made Gwendolyn blush. What is he saying? Oh god, I can already imagine him doing it.


    It''s so embarrassing. I''m not a child!


    “No need! I know you''re strong, okay?” A tinge of red was still present on her pale cheeks.


    Patrick found her to be even cuter when she blushed.


    When he tried to hug Juliette, she moved and muttered, “Daddy...”


    His lips curved upward when he heard that. If my child is this big already, they''ll probably call me like


    that too!


    Gwendolyn felt like crying when she heard that.


    Even though her children had never mentioned wanting to find their father, they would think about him


    when she was sick.


    The saddest part of it all was the fact that she didn''t know where their father was.


    She didn''t even know what he looked like. It made her feel she was a failure as a mother.


    She covered Juliette''s body with the small nket on the bed. It was probably something that Camille


    brought along when they arrived at the hospital.


    The girl suddenly opened her eyes and stared wide-eyed at him before hugging his neck.


    “Daddy, please don''t leave me, okay?” Juliette cried after she finished speaking.


    After a while, she slept again.


    Gwendolyn paused for a bit before she patted her daughter''s back. “Be good, Juliette. Just sleep.


    We''re about to arrive back home.”


    She believed her daughter would have an easier time sleeping if her daughter heard her voice.


    When Patrick saw Gwendolyn''s eyes were getting red, he carried the girl with one arm before putting


    his other free arm around Gwendolyn''s shoulder.
