Chapter 72: Refused To Be Cared

"Patricia!"Zac became upset.

'She seemed fine just now.So, why has she passed out all of a sudden?’ Zac lifted her into his arms
and quickly left the wooden room, but not before kicking the man once more.

He would never forgive those who dared to hurt his woman! Zac figured that it must have been
someone else who had schemed up this plan to hurt Patricia.

That was when he decided to find out precisely who the conspirator was.

"Mmm!"

Hearing Patricia's soft groan brought him back to reality.

Looking at her, he tucked her in more and said crossly, "This woman is so ugly when she's asleep!"

A faint smile formed on his lips as he said this.

Patricia's sudden faint had frightened Zac.

It had led him to believe that she was suffering from internal injuries.

But she had fainted due to her scare and would be on her way to full recovery soon.

Knowing this, Zac breathed a sigh of relief.

Staring at Patricia, he reached out his hand and touched the red mark on her cheek.

Seeing such an obvious red mark, Zac felt that he had slapped that man too lightly.

He should have struck him more.



He would definitely dole out punishment to the person who dared slap his woman.

After a while, his phone rang.

Startled, Zac quickly hung up as he saw Patricia slightly frowning.

After she fell asleep, he went to the balcony and returned the call.

"Zac, how is Patricia?"

On the other end of the line, Giselle, who was worried, had really wanted to come to the hospital to
take care of Patricia.

Hearing that question, Zac smiled gently and responded politely, "Mom, don't worry.Patricia was so
scared that she had blacked out.But she'll be fine now."

Giselle felt relieved hearing how calm Zac sounded.

She spoke to him for a while longer before hanging up the call.

When he returned to the room, he didn't see Patricia lying on the bed.

Shocked at her disappearance, he hurriedly began looking for her.

‘Where did she go? She hasn't completely recovered from the scare she just received!’ At that moment,
Zac was highly concerned about her.

He was afraid that she would faint again, or worse, accidentally fall down.

Just as he was about to go crazy, he spotted her in front of the elevator.

Marching up to her, he grabbed her wrist and said discontentedly, "Why did you leave?"



‘Patricia clearly knew that she was in poor health, yet she still purposefully ran out.

She really makes me worry a lot about her.’ Noticing Zac's frown and the concern in his eyes, Patricia
subconsciously looked away and uttered with embarrassment, "I'm famished."

When her hunger woke her up, she saw Zac was talking on the phone outside.

Not wanting to disturb him, she had quietly left the room in search of food.

Hearing this, Zac pursed his lips with displeasure.

Glaring at her, he barked, "Go back to your room.I'll go and buy you some food now."

Patricia shook her head.

Before she could retort, Zac picked her up in his arms and walked towards the ward.

Knowing she wouldn't be obedient to his orders, he thought it better to take action directly instead of
wasting time arguing with her.

Patricia didn't resist being carried in Zac's arms.

Quietly, she leaned her head against his chest while he took her back to her room.

This moment reminded Patricia of the incident at the swimming pool where she had met Zac as a child.

Back then, he had sworn to protect her in the future.

After so many years, she didn't know if Zac recalled the little girl from his childhood or the promise he
had made at that time.

Zac gently put her on the bed and gave her a tablet computer to use.



He remarked softly, "If you are bored, then watch some TV.I'll be back soon."

After saying this, Zac rushed out of the room.

Patricia couldn't help but smile as she watched Zac's receding figure.

Somehow, she was overcome by a feeling of contentment.

But then she touched her belly, and suddenly felt surprised and heartbroken.

It seemed like she had momentarily forgotten about the child she had lost due to Zac's decision, and
the rejection her mother faced from the Lowell family because of this matter.

Furthermore, Zac had a special relationship with Lyndsy.

Patricia immediately felt that she didn't deserve to be happy.

She thought that others might become disgusted by her feelings of elation.

Patricia lay on the bed and stared up at the ceiling.

At some point, she felt like someone had entered her heart and then left.

Zac finally selected and bought the lean meat porridge and sweet and sour fillet.

Upon returning to Patricia's ward, he realized that she was missing yet again.All of a sudden, Zac
became furious.

Looking at the empty, neat bed, he wanted nothing more than to find her.

Just then, a nurse passed by him.

Grabbing her by the arm, he angrily asked, "Where is Patricia?"



Hearing his question, the nurse answered fearfully, "She insisted on leaving the hospital.We couldn't
stop her!"

Zac's face darkened.

He knew the kind of woman Patricia was.

She was so stubborn that once she'd made a decision, no one could stop her! In fact, Zac was just as
stubborn as her.

After he'd made his mind up about something, no one could change it.

After replying to Zac's question, the fearful nurse immediately left.

She had heard that Zac and Patricia had divorced, so she didn't expect to discover that they were once
again in love.Realizing this, the gossipy nurses began to spread the news in the lounge area.

Taking one last glance at the bed with dissatisfaction, Zac turned around and left without saying
anything else.

When he saw the trash can, he was tempted to throw the dinner he had bought into it.

It was then that a thought occurred to him, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Zac was positive he knew where Patricia was headed.

‘She must have gone home!’ Although Zac would have preferred it if Patricia had remained in the
hospital and waited to be discharged only after fully recovering, he knew he couldn't stop her.

But her going home wasn't a bad decision either.



It would contain all the unnecessary rumors from spreading further.

Returning to the apartment, Zac was met with darkness.

Frowning, he searched the whole house but didn't find Patricia.

"Where the hell is Patricia?"

Zac roared as he kicked the tea table in anger.

Now, he just wanted to find her and teach her a lesson.

‘Where on earth could she be?’ She didn't answer the phone when he called her.

‘Doesn't she know how dangerous it could be at night?’ The thought of her meeting another lecher
made Zac tremble in fear, afraid something terrible would happen to her again.

"This woman is really troublesome!"

Zac uttered in a low voice and hastily left the house.

Although Zac was furious at her for leaving, he couldn't stop worrying about her safety.

He had just barely saved her from a lecher earlier.

So, if she met another one, all his efforts would have been in vain.

At that time, Patricia was sitting in a snack stall near her apartment, ordering a few kebabs and two
bottles of beer.

As she gulped down the beer, her mood improved and she felt pleased once again.



She gave a few loud hiccups but continued to munch on the snacks with a smile on her face. It was
her first time drinking beer and eating at a snack stall.

This feeling was so wonderful that she hoped it would help her block out her thoughts, but it didn't.

She was lost in deep thought.

The choices available to her made her feel very depressed as she didn't know what todo.
