Chapter 515


    Kevin couldn''t hold back hisughter as he observed Lucas'' actions. He turned to Patrick and quipped,


    “Pat, you should take a page from Luke''s book and try acting coy. Who knows, maybe thedies will


    swoon over you then.”


    Kevin remembered the asions when Patrick had experienced severe headaches. Despite breaking


    out in sweats, he pretended everything was okay and kept quiet about his difort. He had even


    tried to conceal it from Gwendolyn.


    Patrick even went to great lengths to ensure she remained oblivious to the incident even though he got


    shot when trying to protect her.


    Undeniably, Patrick embodied true masculinity.


    Patrick''s gaze turned cold as he strode toward the exit, remarking, “Lucas, you could attempt to be


    even more effeminate.”


    Lucas raised an eyebrow and smirked upon hearing Patrick''sment. However, he chose not to


    dignify it with a response.


    Aware that he had been showing too much public affectiontely, Lucas realized Patrick was likely


    jealous of him, especially considering thetter''s falling out with Gwendolyn.


    This realization brought a sense of satisfaction to Lucas.


    Gwendolyn pushed Mnie to the nurse station, where the nurse required thetter to verify her


    information again.


    Lucy affectionately caressed Lucas'' head and gently reminded him, “Please behave!”


    As Lucas was about to be wheeled into the operating room, Lucy reminded herself to stayposed.


    She tried to coax him in any way possible to encourage him to willingly enter the operation room.


    She then lovingly caressed Lucas'' ear and gently tugged at it, knowing he loved this affectionate


    gesture the most.


    This was because when they were in bed and Lucas was about to get passionate, she would pull his


    ears as she didn''t have anywhere else to hold on to.


    As she pulled on his ears, Lucas was flooded with memories of their passionate moments. His cheeks


    tinted with a blush, and his eyes glinted with a fierce and menacing intensity.


    Lucy squinted her eyes and smiled at him, radiating a charming aura.


    At that moment, Lucas felt that Lucy was worth dying for. He uttered, “Come on, it''s just a bone marrow


    extraction. I won''t die because of it.”


    After uttering those words, he fixed Lucy with a piercing re, as if to convey that he would “take care”


    of her once he recovered from the surgery.


    Lucy let out a relieved breath, feeling that the techniques she had picked up in Night City had proven to


    be effective as she had sessfully subdued Lucas and put him “under her control”.

    With the nurse leading them, everyone got into the private elevator. There was ady in the elevator,


    who was specifically tasked with handling the buttons of various floors.


    Gwendolyn was rather surprised by the special treatment. She had only heard of someone being


    designated to operate the elevator before, but experiencing it firsthand that day was eye-opening.


    Moreover, considering they were in a hospital and the elevator was designated as the exclusive route


    to the operating room, it made the experience even more unique.


    As they approached the entrance of the VIP operating room, there were hardly any other people


    present apart from them.


    A nurse was waiting for them at the entrance. After verifying their names and birthdates, Mnie and


    Lucas were gently pushed into the room, and the door closed slowly behind them.


    Gwendolyn sped Lucy''s hand and said, “Let''s find a seat over there.”


    Lucy''s hand felt cold in Gwendolyn''s grasp, and thetter''s face appeared pale. Gwendolyn could see


    that the calmness on Lucy''s face just now was merely a facade.


    Gwendolyn was well aware of Lucy''s inner turmoil and knew that she was trying to remain strong for


    the sake of her daughter.


    Gwendolyn was well aware of Lucy''s inner turmoil and knew that she was trying to remain strong for


    the sake of her daughter.


    Lucy''s lips were tightly pressed together, and her body trembled slightly.


    “Atst, Mnie will be on the road to recovery soon,” said Lucy.


    Lucy was experiencing mixed emotions as she felt both happiness and anxiousness. She hoped


    fervently that the surgery would proceed smoothly without anyplications.


    When Patrick caught sight of the twodies hugging each other, he shot a meaningful look at Kevin.


    Thetter furrowed his brows in response.


    “Why me again?”


    Aren''t you concerned about thatdy? Why can''t youfort her yourself?


    “You are a medical professional. You shouldn''t neglect your duty,” said Patrick.


    Sh*t! How could you guilt-trip me?


    Kevin begrudgingly epted his responsibility, knowing that his own interests were at stake. He


    couldn''t afford to lose Patrick''s investment, as it ounted for half of the funding for hisboratory. If


    Patrick were to withdraw his support, Kevin''s entireboratory would crumble. Furthermore, Kevin


    knew that he wouldn''t stand a chance against Patrick if it came down to a confrontation.


    Kevin approached thedies, towering over them as he looked down at them.


    “Gwen, Lucy, there''s no need to worry too much. The doctors Luke found are renowned for their


    expertise and have ample clinical experience. Let''s not forget that I''m also a medical professional.”


    Upon hearing Kevin''s reassuring words, both Gwen and Lucy lifted their heads to gaze at him.


    Kevin noticed their gazes and adjusted his hair before continuing, “You must have faith in their medical


    skills.”
