Chapter 121: Stopping Lyndsy
Chapter 121: Stopping Lyndsy
Patricia was curious to know who the voice belonged to, but her vision was so blurry she couldn't identify who the person was.
She simply knew that their figure seemed familiar.
Unfortunately, before she could see the person's face clearly, Patricia fainted.
Lyndsy was fraught with rage as she glared at the individual in front of her with displeasure.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
At that moment, Yolanda was the last person she wanted to see.
‘She thinks I don't know she poisoned the killer I had hired.
But why would she do that?’ Lyndsy didn't understand her mother's actions, but she knew that Yolanda didn’t want her to take revenge.
‘Not taking revenge...is that even possible? I absolutely loathe Patricia for disgracing me at the birthday party and taking Zac away from me.If it wasn't for Patricia, Zac would have already belonged to me.How could he refuse me in public? It is Patricia who has caused me so much pain and humiliation.Both in the past and now, it has all been caused by that bitch.If Patricia could only disappear, my life would be so different!’
"Stop, Lyndsy! You don't need to do this!"
Concerned about Lyndsy’s safety, Yolanda couldn't help but look at her daughter with worry in her eyes.
If she wasn't distressed about Lyndsy's wellbeing, she wouldn't have followed her here.
The sight before her eyes wasn't one she had expected to see, though.
Yolanda didn't think that Lyndsy would really try to kill Patricia.
Seeing Patricia's pale face out of the corner of her eye, Yolanda was surprised and asked gingerly, "Is she..."
‘Is this bitch, Patricia, dead? If so, Lyndsy will be held liable.By then...’ The more Yolanda thought about it, the worse she felt.
‘It isn't that I don't want Lyndsy to take her revenge.I remember clearly the humiliation Lyndsy and I suffered at the birthday party because of Patricia.I hate Patricia to the very core of my being.And I will settle the old and new scores together.But I wouldn't risk my life because of this.There are many ways to take revenge, and there is no need to do it by myself.’
This is how Yolanda thought, but Lyndsy saw things differently.
She felt that Yolanda's attempt to stop her meant she was unwilling to let Lyndsy have her revenge.
"Mom, don't stop me.I will kill Patricia today!"
Lyndsy viciously spat those words out as if her happiness was dependent on Patricia's death.
Yolanda became terrified when she heard her daughter's proclamation.
Walking quickly over to Lyndsy, she grabbed her by the wrist and said, "Do you really think this is the best way to take revenge? If you kill Patricia now, what will you do in the future? Do you really think you can live a better life than Patricia in the future?"
Yolanda's words calmed Lyndsy down enough for her to realize something important.
‘If I take Patricia's life, she will be relieved to be out of her misery, but I will be punished by the law.At that time...’ This thought made Lyndsy quickly release her hold on Patricia.
Standing beside Yolanda, she cast her fear- stricken eyes on her mother and asked, "Mom, what should we do now? Many people saw me when I came here, and..."
"Don't worry.I'll take care of it.For now, let's get out of here."
Yolanda then nudged Lyndsy out of the room before the latter could regain her senses.
There was no one in the corridor when they left, and they exited the hospital through the back door.
This was a blind spot for the CCTV cameras, so Yolanda knew they could escape without being spotted. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Apart from that, Yolanda bribed someone to tamper with the CCTV footage as well.
So, even if Zac wanted to check the video footage, he wouldn't find anything useful.
In walked Dora with Patricia's medication shortly after Yolanda and Lyndsy's departure.
Dora was preparing to change Patricia's dressing when she noticed Patricia's pale complexion.
Stunned by this sight, she fled the room and ran straight to the doctor's office.
After she notified the doctor, Dora called Zac and informed him of the situation.
Patricia was already in the operating room when Zac arrived.
"How is Patricia?"asked Zac, looking nervously at Dora.
‘l only left for a short period, but such a thing has occurred.What on earth have the people that I sent here been doing? They couldn't even protect Patricia when someone took the opportunity to sneak in during my absence!’ The more Zac thought about it, the angrier he became.
In a fit of rage, he punched the thick walls with his fist.
‘If only I hadn't left, then perhaps Patricia wouldn't have been in such a dire position now.’ Dora wanted to offer Zac some comforting words to ease his mind but stopped after giving it a second thought.
Instead, she said, "I'm sorry, Mr.Reynolds.This is all my fault for not taking good enough care of Miss Patricia.Thinking that she was resting in her room, I left her side and returned to the infirmary to resume my duties."
Dora couldn't help crying as she spoke to Zac.
She was perturbed about Patricia's safety and thought that she was to blame for Patricia's condition worsening.
Hearing this, Zac raised his hand slowly, gesturing for Dora to stop talking.
As distressed as he was, he told her, "This wasn't your fault.You don't have to blame yourself.”
Zac patted Dora on the shoulder, a tacit indication that she shouldn't blame herself anymore.
For this matter, Zac believed that it was solely his fault that Patricia ended up in this state.
‘If I hadn't been angry with Patricia and left at that time, such a thing wouldn't have happened to her.’
Taking his words to heart, Dora nodded and said cautiously, "Mr.Reynolds, don't be too sad.Miss Patricia will be fine.God will bless her."
But Dora couldn't help but lower her head as she spoke.
She was fraught with concern.
And although she said such words to Zac, she knew that Patricia's old wound hadn't healed yet, so it would be very troublesome if she got a new wound.
Moreover, not long after the operation, Patricia was hit again...
Seeing Dora's expression, Zac knew exactly what she meant.
But this time, he was afraid that Patricia's life would be in danger.
‘If anything happens to Patricia, I will never let the one who hurt her go!’ Suddenly, Zac clenched his fists so tightly that there were blue veins on the back of his hands and a strong murderous look in his eyes.
At that moment, the hospital director respectfully walked up to Zac, and with an apologetic look, whispered, "Mr.Reynolds, well..."
"How was the CCTV footage? Did you see who the perpetrator was?" asked Zac in a cold tone.
The director lowered his head when he heard Zac's question and said in a trembling voice, "We did not see anyone else in the room.Miss Sampson might have fallen down by accident."
‘No one else was in the room? She might have fallen down accidentally?’ Zac didn't believe what the director said at all.
How could a cautious person like Patricia be so careless? Seeing the disbelief on Zac's face, the director fearfully took a step back.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare open his mouth.
He could only stand there silently.
"Are you telling me the truth?"
Zac asked in a low voice, looking suspiciously at the director.
Looking Zac in the eye, the director nodded cautiously and said with trepidation, "Yes, I am, Mr.Reynolds.I didn't lie to you.How about I show you today's video footage?"
The director felt helpless.If possible, he would like to leave quickly.
Zac nodded his agreement to the director's question while giving him a cold look, an indication for him to leave.
Seeing this, the director immediately left.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be scolded by Zac.
After the director left, Zac's eyes turned towards the light of the operating room.
His heart was about to beat right out of his chest.
He was worried stiff about Patricia's safety and if she would make it through this operation.
‘If she really did hurt her spine, then that would be a grave matter.’ Zac was afraid that in the future...
Thinking of this, Zac shook his head violently to dispel the uneasy thoughts running through his mind.
He looked at the operating room with a worried face, waiting anxiously for Patricia to come out.
