Chapter 116: Lily's Visit
Seeing this, Patricia silently and obediently took the breakfast that Zac bought her.Although she didn't want to have anything to do with Zac, that didn't mean her tummy had to suffer.
After all, she needed to take care of herself so that she could make a speedy recovery.Zac nodded in satisfaction when he saw Patricia compliantly taking the food.
Finally, she had learned to have some respect for him.Seeing the expression on Zac's face, Patricia feigned ignorance so that she wouldn't have to talk to him about it.
After she finished eating, but before she could say anything, Zac informed her that he had something to do and would be taking his leave.
Patricia didn't know if this was because of a connection between them or if he really wanted to leave.
But Patricia realized that his absence meant that there would be peace and quiet in her room.
Observing Patricia's expression from where she stood in the dark, Dora pursed her lips and sighed helplessly.
If possible, she really hoped she could say a few words to Patricia.
In Dora's eyes, Patricia seemed like a woman secretly in love.
On the one hand, she didn't want him to come over, but on the other, in her heart, she was eager to see him.
Seeing her like this, Dora felt a little helpless and didn't know what to say.
At noon, it was time to apply Patricia's medicine.
Dora then quickly returned to the nurse's duty station and began her work.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice from behind.
Turning around, she flashed a sweet smile that accentuated her canine teeth and said, "Sister, were you looking for me? I'm still on duty now, and I'm going to be on night duty later.Did you miss me?"
Dora smiled innocently at her sister as she walked over to her without saying anything further.
The woman standing in front of Dora was none other than her half-sister, Lily.
Seeing Dora's happy expression caused Lily to pout, a sad look settling on her face.Dora was confused by Lily's somber expression.
Blinking suspiciously, she asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing of Lily's promotion, Dora was so ecstatic that she had bought a lot of delicious food home to celebrate.
However, after Lily's promotion, she was unable to return home frequently.
She said she had to work overtime every day, which left Lily with little time to come back home.
It had been a week since Dora had seen Lily, so she wasn't expecting to meet her at the hospital today.
Taking in Lily's appearance, she looked much thinner and listless.
"Sister, do you have something you want to tell me?"
Dora grabbed Lily's hand anxiously, her eyes full of concern.
Hearing this, Lily smiled gently and motioned for Dora to stop talking.
She then hugged Dora and said softly, "Dora, we haven't seen each other for a week.How are you doing?"
"I'm doing very well.It's just a little boring without you at home."
Dora pursed her lips helplessly.
Then a thought occurred to her, and she asked excitedly, "By the way, sister, when will you come back? I miss you so much!"
"I...".
Hearing the excitement in Dora's voice, Lily couldn't help but release a sob.With tears in her eyes, she blew her nose and said softly, "I won't go back so soon.Don't worry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lily gently patted her sister on the back with sadness in her eyes.
Although Dora didn't know what had happened, she could sense Lily's sadness, but she knew her sister's character all too well.
Unless she was willing to speak about the matter at hand, no one could force her to open up.
The next moment, Lily masked her sadness, looked over at Dora, and gently said, "By the way, aren't you busy? Go and complete your work.I'll wait for you, and we can have dinner together."
Then Lily walked to a nearby bench and sat down.Looking in Dora's direction, she shot her a smile.Seeing this, Dora returned to the nurse's station to begin her work.
With Dora busy at work, Lily's forlorn expression returned once again.
Looking at Dora sadly, she whispered, "I'm sorry, Dora."
Standing up, Lily then walked into the ward Dora had previously exited.
Lily couldn't help taking a deep breath while she stood in Patricia's ward.The thought of facing Patricia again made Lily inexplicably nervous.
She couldn't hide the guilty look that appeared on her face.
Sometimes, she felt like she didn't know how to face Patricia.
In the past, Patricia had been so kind to her and treated her as a sister.
However, she had betrayed her by doing such a thing.
Honestly, Lily felt sick sometimes when she thought of how she had behaved.
But whenever she thought of Jayson, she believed she had made the right decision and would willingly do it again.
So, in order to be with Jayson and help him return to his family, she had to face Patricia now. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
This time, she had come specifically to see Patricia and ask her about the contents of the contract.
Some of these details were followed up by Patricia.
Thus, Jayson and Lily weren't privy to those aspects of the contract at all.
So, Lily was left with no choice but to sneak over to meet Patricia without Dora's knowledge.
Having seen a figure standing at the door for a long time, Patricia couldn't help smiling and calling out, "Dora, what are you doing standing outside? Come on in!"
Since Dora had the same height and figure as Lily, it was understandable why Patricia would mistake Lily for Dora.
But having heard Patricia's voice, Lily plucked up her courage, pushed the door open, and rushed in without saying anything.
Patricia was stunned to see Lily entering her room.
She stared at Lily blankly through shrewd eyes.
She hadn't expected to see Lily in her room.
‘Didn't she leave with Jayson? Why is she here now?’ Before Patricia could figure it out, Lily walked over to her.
With a pleading expression on her face, Lily whispered, "Miss Sampson, I..."
Patricia regained her senses when Lily paused mid- sentence.
Her face regained its usual aloofness and she stared at Lily coldly.
Lily was no longer the person she knew.
And since she had chosen to take Jayson's side, she was now an enemy of the Veyron Corp..
"What did you want to say? Do you realize what you and Jayson have done?"
Patricia scolded as she stared at Lily with displeasure.
Lily used to be such a simple and considerate girl, but she changed ever since she believed in Jayson's words.
She didn't even know what kind of person Jayson was before believing him wholeheartedly.
But if she knew, would she still have done such a thing? Hearing Patricia's statement, Lily lowered her head in shame.
In a low voice, she said, "I know we did something wrong, but we had no other choice.If you were in my shoes, you would understand."
"I don't understand how you could do that!"
Glancing coldly at Lily, Patricia cut to the chase.
She didn't want to waste time talking nonsense with her.
"Tell me, Lily, what do you want from me today?" With a cold face, Patricia looked at Lily, trying to read her expression.
‘Lily would not have come here for no reason.There must be something that she wants.Perhaps this has something to do with the contract!’ guessed Patricia.
