Chapter 156


    Darcie’s expression changed as she looked away. “It’s best if you didn’t know, Tricia.”


    Patricia had a strange feeling when she saw the way Darcie’s expression shifted. “Did someone


    hurt you? I’ll help you get revenge.”


    Darcie chuckled at how serious Patricia looked. “Didn’t you swear not to ever fight again after that

    time you had to pay a huge sum of money to the person you injured? Even that day, when you ran


    into Zeke and that mistress, you didn’t use your Taekwondo skills.”


    Patricia smirked. “I did swear not to, but how can I sit still if someone hurt you? He deserves to be


    smashed into a pulp.”


    “It’s fine.” Darcie sighed as she recalled what happenedst night. “No one forced me into


    anything. You don’t need to worry about it.”


    Patricia was still worried, so she nudged her gently. “You have to tell me if something happens,


    okay? I’m always on your side.”


    Darcie nodded. The two women continued chatting for a bit, but when Patricia saw that it was


    gettingte, she began to say her goodbyes. The children needed to be home soon, as it was a


    school day tomorrow.


    Before she left, she reminded Darcie, “Remember to use that medication. It works wonders.”


    Darcieughed. “Tricia, since President Arnold did that to you, why don’t you consider dating him?


    It’s a pity to miss out on an opportunity to be with a distinguished man like him. It’d be hard to meet


    someone like him ever again.”


    “I won’t even consider it.” Patricia shook her head. Since Isaac was Adeline’s girlfriend, she


    refused to get involved with him. “Scott, Sten, Sylvie, it’s time to go home now.”


    Poppy was reluctant to see them go. As she hugged Sylvie, Sylvie said to her, “Poppy, listen to the


    doctors, okay? When you’re feeling better, we can see each other every day again, just like we


    used to.”


    Poppy nodded. “Mommy told me that I’ll be all better soon. I have a bone marrow donor.”


    When Patricia heard those words, she whipped her head around to look at Darcie. “Darcie, you


    found another suitable donor?”


    Patricia had been wondering how she could help to convince Percy, but now that they had another


    suitable donor, they would not need to beseech Percy anymore.


    Considering the job he held, it would not sit well with her if they forced him into it somehow.


    Darcie thought about the deal she struckst night. “Yeah, Poppy will get the surgery in a month.”


    She pleaded with Percyst night, but he asked her to sleep with him for a month. If he was


    satisfied with her, he would go through with the bone marrow transnt for Poppy.


    Last night, he had done a lot of things to Darcie, but she went along with everything. Her face was


    a little pink as her mind began to fill with images ofst night, so she quickly shook those thoughts


    away.


    “That’s great news! Darcie, things are finally looking up for you.”


    Darcie followed them down to the basement to see them off. Once they got in the car, she turned


    back around to return to Poppy’s ward.


    Sylvie seemed to have tired herself out as she fell asleep soon after climbing into the car. She


    slept soundly with her head and feet resting on both her brothers’ thighs.


    Patricia nced at the three of them in the rearview mirror. Scott and Sten always took great


    care of Sylvie.


    Patricia’s eyes crinkled a little as she chuckled. She was beginning to feel a tad envious of Sylvie!


    Her little Sylvie was fortunate enough to have so many people in her life who loved her.


    When Sylvie grew up, it would not be easy for her future boyfriend to receive a stamp of approval


    from all of them.


    Patricia was quite happy about that. At least, it would minimize the chances of Sylvie ending up


    with a terrible guy. Her two brothers would surely weed such irresponsible and unreliable men out


    for her.


    It was 9.30PM by the time they arrived home. Patricia carried Sylvie into the house with the two


    boys walking ahead of them.


    All of a sudden, the two boys spotted a bunch of paper stuck to the door, so they ran over and tore


    one down.


    The words ‘Repay your debts, or pay in blood’ were sttered boldly across the paper, along with


    gruesome images illustrated in red.


    Patricia looked over. “What is it?”
