Chapter 734 In Bed Together

Gwendolyn blinked when she heard that. I-Is he really getting into the bed?

Juliette, on the other hand, was thrilled when she heard those words. Her initially sickly face was finally filled with a smile.

She then turned toward Gwendolyn and said, “Mommy, why don't you sleep in the middle? I want to lean against the wall.”

“Don't move! Your hand is attached to an IV drip! Do you want the nurse to reattach the IV drip?” Gwendolyn panicked.

Gwendolyn dared not sleep in the middle because she would be too near Patrick.

Evidently, she was afraid of caving in and inching toward Patrick. If she were to do something like that, she could end up startling him.

Juliette feared getting poked with a needle again, so she responded, “Oh! In that case, I'll sleep in the middle!”

With that, she tucked Patrick in. “Mr. Lowen, you ought to stay under the blanket. Otherwise, you'll also fall sick.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Hearing those thoughtful words, Patrick was dying to tell Juliette he was her father.

However, he couldn't do it just yet because he had to proceed according to his plan.

Juliette grabbed Gwendolyn's hand and placed it over her own hand. Afterward, Juliette grabbed Patrick's hand and placed it over Gwendolyn's hand.

After doing that, Juliette chuckled and said, “This is nice. I don't have to feel scared anymore.”

With that, she yawned. “I'm feeling sleepy. Goodnight, Mommy. Goodnight, Daddy!”

Juliette daringly addressed Patrick as “Daddy” because she remembered him giving her permission to do so.

Needless to say, Juliette was on cloud nine with her parents by her side.

Gwendolyn wanted to tell Juliette off, but she couldn't bear to do so when she saw the gleeful smile on her daughter's face. Whenever Juliette falls sick, she misses her daddy. That's why she addressed Patrick that way. Besides, she has a thing for handsome men.

At that thought, Gwendolyn decided to let Juliette have her way.

Patrick glanced at his adorable daughter before shifting his gaze toward Gwendolyn, who was deep in thought as she gazed at Juliette. This feels wonderful. I have such an amazing daughter.

After Juliette fell asleep, Gwendolyn retracted her hand because she felt the back of her hand burning up. His palm is so warm!

Suddenly, Patrick grabbed her hand and asked, “You looked like you were in pain when I held your arm just now, Ms. Ashton. Do you have injuries on your body?”

After he finished his sentence, he sat up and pulled her up as well.

His action shocked Gwendolyn. He's so strong and quick!

“No. Why would I have injuries on my body?” Gwendolyn denied it stubbornly and averted her gaze because she didn't dare to look into his eyes.

Hearing that, Patrick narrowed his eyes and ordered, “Take off your clothes, and let me examine your body.”

Clearly, Patrick had forgotten about the fact that he was supposed to have forgotten about her entirely.

Gwendolyn was stumped. She then pulled her hand out of his grip and said, “Mr. Lowen, everyone knows you're a gentleman. It's unlike you to ask a woman to strip in front of you!”

After she said that, she yawned and continued, “I'm so tired. I'm going to sleep.”

Gwendolyn lay back down on the bed and pulled the blanket over her. “Keep an eye on the IV drip, okay? I'm exhausted.”

Gwendolyn had to tell a lie because she didn't want to expose her secrets. I'm still repaying my debt, so I must endure Zayden's beating. That's the only way I can repay his kindness. After that, I'll have my freedom. I want my freedom so badly.

Patrick watched her close her eyes and noticed a drop of tear streaming down her cheek. He was heartbroken when he saw that. What is this woman going through? Is Zayden making her life difficult because of what happened earlier in the day? Did he beat her?

Just like that, he watched her fall asleep and heard her steady breathing.

Once she had fallen asleep, he lay back down on the bed and lifted his gaze to glance at the IV drip bottle.
