Rose pursed her lips. “We can’t let him know that. | don’t want him to think that | am out of line!”
Helen pursed her lips and said, “Alright, do as you see fit as long as you’re happy. Anyway, we’ve customized the jewelry now.
With this excuse, we cane over a few more times. I’m sure we''ll get to meet the man you
love!”
Rose nodded and did not say anything else.
Violet hadn’t seen Patrick for a day.
After work in the afternoon, she did not return to Hersey Court. Instead, she went straight to the hospital to see Gabriel.
When she entered the ward, Gabriel was lecturing his subordinates. His tone was stern. Violet had never seen him this way
before.
However, when he saw Violet, the gloom on his face immediately disappeared as he said casually, “Vivi, you’re here!”
Then, he waved his hand. “You guys can leave now!”
After his subordinates left, Violet ced the flowers she brought aside. “How are you feeling?”
Gabriel looked at Violet with a smile in his eyes. “I’m feeling okay.
Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you saving me. Although I’m the hero, and you’re the beauty, you managed to save me. If it
weren''t for your help, | would have been crushed therest night!”
Violet smiled. “Are you a hero? Besides, it’s not that serious!”Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
A dark glint shed across Gabriel''s eyes. Then, he looked up at Violet. “I don’t have to be a hero. Anyway, no matter what | am,
| was saved by a beauty like you!”
Violet smiled and did not say anything.
She saved Gabriel because Gabriel had saved her previously.

Gabriel pondered for a moment and said seriously, “Vivi, what happenedst night... was really serious. Actually, there are some
things that | didn’t intend to tell you, but seeing how carefree you are, | feel that | have to tell you, or | won''t be at ease!”
Violet frowned. “What''s the matter? You''re even so serious!”
Gabriel sighed softly. “What happenedst night was done by Gerald. He probably did it to take revenge for thest time | beat
him up in Elysium
die
Bar!”
Violet''s expression changed slightly. “In that case, I’ve implicated you!”
Gabriel looked at her grumpily. “I knew you would say that. Listen to me. first. I’m telling you this not to make you me yourself
but to make you take precautions. From this incident, it''s not difficult to see that Gerald is very vengeful and takes revenge on
everyone who has offended him. | was tricked in my own territory. I’m really worried about you. You have to be careful recently!”
Violet''s eyes darkened as she nodded seriously. “Okay. I''ll keep what you
said in mind!”
When Gabriel thought of Gerald, he gritted his teeth in hatred. “That ba stard Gerald should hide when | get discharged. I''ll
definitely kill him by
then!”
Violet nced at Gabriel. “What did his men do to youst night? | saw that you couldn’t even stand up at that time!”
Gabriel looked at Violet and avoided her gaze. “Well, it was nothing!”
Violet frowned. “Gabriel, | consider you a friend now. Can’t you tell me the truth? | still owe you a meal!”
Gabrielughed out loud. “Now that you’ve saved me again, it’s my turn to treat you. Just wait. I’ll treat you to a feast when I’m
discharged!”
“What happened to you?” Violet’s expression was unusually serious. “If it was just ether that made you faint on the spotst
night, you would have been discharged this morning!”
Seeing that Violet was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Gabriel smiled helplessly. “Vivi, you''re just my nemesis.
However, | can’t help my feelings for you!”
Violet blushed. “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Gabriel did not continue to spout nonsense. He said seriously and helplessly, “I might have to quit something. The thing they
injected into. mest night was addictive!”
When Gabriel said that, Violet immediately realized what they had injected Gabriel with.
She looked extremely guilty.
Gabriel smiled andforted her. “Don’t be discouraged, Vivi. After | quit this thing. I''ll be clean once again. It’s a pity that | might
not be able to go out often during this period and won''t be able to see you!”
Violet looked at him with aplicated expression. “Then... | wish you sess in quitting it. You must hang on!”
Gabriel nodded.
Violet and Gabriel did not speak for long before she left the hospital and
went home.
At the same time, Patrick was leaningzily on the sofa in a supreme private room at Timeless Bar. He held a cigarette in his
hand and took a puff. The smoke blurred his handsome face.
Robert raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you quit smoking? | haven''t seen you for a day. Why are you smoking again now?”
Others might not know, but Robert knew that Patrick had quit smoking. for a long time and had long lost his addiction.
Patrick’s expression was gloomy, and he looked a little dispirited. “I quit smoking back then because | felt that there was nothing
in this world that | couldn’t quit. But now, | realize that | was too arrogant!”
Patrick’s expression was a little self-deprecating.
Robert''s eyes shed. “What do
you mean?”
He thought to himself, “It seems a little serious!”
Patrick looked upzily at Robert and exined bluntly, “When | found out about my feelings for Violet, | knew that | could never
quit my love for
her!”
He thought about how he was unprecedentedly angryst night. It was just because Violet didn’t eat with him and saved Gabriel.
At that time, the social circle was in an uproar. Patrick had mixed feelings, including anger and worry.
All of his emotions seemed to have reached a climax. It had never happened before.
He was afraid that if he saw Violet again, he would not be able to control his emotions and would avoid her for the entire day.
However, the more he avoided her, the more he panicked.
When Robert heard Patrick’s words, his handsome face froze. He could not help but roll his beautiful amorous eyes. “Da mn.
Patrick, | think you''re here to torture me as a single person! You''re already married to her. Why are you showing off your affection
to me?”
Patrick looked at him gloomily and did not say anything.
Robert took a puff of his cigarette. “Tsk... What''s wrong? Is your
rtionship not going well?”
Patrick dusted off his cigarette and took a slight breath. “My love is one- sided in this rtionship, so how could it go well?”
“Da mn! Don''t talk like that, okay? I’m really terrified, Patrick! Are youpletely in love? Why don’t | teach you a few more
moves?” Robert stared at Patrick skeptically.
Patrick stubbed out his cigarette and said indifferently, “Don’t ask. Don’t teach. I’m different from you!”
Robert was unconvinced. “How are we different? We''re both humans and have emotions and desires!”
Patrick raised his eyebrows. He took a mint candy, peeled the package, and put the candy in his mouth. “You can share your
emotions and desires. with countless women, but | can’t. | can only share mine with one person!”
Robert almost got pis s ed. “I feel like you’re making things up. You’re maliciously ndering me! Every time | fall in love, | only
date one woman, okay? Although | date quite often, I’m definitely not the kind of scu mbag who cheats on others!”.
Patrick looked at him calmly. “Yeah, | know that you’re not a s cumbag. It’s easy for you to have feelings for others, but it’s just
that they don’tst!”
Robert was rendered speechless. Just as he was about to defend himself, his phone suddenly rang nonstop.
