On the way to the hospital with Stuart, Patrick hardly said a word. He just held Stuart in his arms without any movements, as if afraid of touching Stuart’s wounds.
Stuart passed out.
He almost died before he even got to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, he was sent to the emergency room, where his wounds were stitched up and he was given a blood transfusion.
Stuart appeared to have lost a lot of blood.
Outside the emergency room, Patrick sat on the cold bench, elbows on his knees, hands clasped together, upper body leaning forward. His eyes fell to the ground, seemingly looking at something, or perhaps nothing at all.
He seemed completely lost in his own world, to the point that even though Juliette was sitting beside him, she felt a great distance between them.
Juliette didn’t know what to say.
She could only sit in silence with him.
Finally, Patrick turned to look at her.
Juliette noticed his eyes were bloodshot, clearly holding back a torrent of emotions.
But he still said gently, “I’ll watch over things here. We’ve been out together too long. Constance and Louis will be worried. Would you mind going back to keep them company?”
He paused for a moment before adding, “I don’t want Constance to know about Stuart’s accident. She’s too aged to take the hit.”
Juliette gripped his shoulder. “I understand. You stay here and keep watch. I’ll go back and take care of them. Don’t worry about anything at home.”
“Thank you,” Patrick said.
Juliette thought for a moment and said, “What’s done is done. Don’t blame yourself. If revenge is what you need, then seek it. If you can’t revenge for now, then plan for it.”
She stood up and left the hospital.
The hallway was long, her footsteps echoing softly as she walked. Patrick watched her until she disappeared at the end of the
hall.
The streets were bustling.
People had already finished their Christmas dinners and were out enjoying themselves.
Chapter 106
Traffic was heavy, and people were chatting and laughing in groups
As Juliette waited for the crowd to pass and was about to start the car, her phone rang, It was Parick. The owered
“Wait for me. Patrick’s clear voice came from the phone. I go back with your
Although surprised, Juliette felt it was reasonable, so the parked the car on the side of the road and waited for him.
Soon, Patrick arrived, bringing a chill with him as he got in
“If I let you go back alone, Constance will definitely get suspicious. Stuart is already in danger, and I can’t let Constance worry anymore. I have to stay with her tonight for Christmas”
Juliette glanced at him. Is he explaining to me?
“Why don’t we go back and take a shower and change clothes first? We smell too much blood, Constance and Louis will smell it,’ said Juliette.
Patrick hummed in response.
So they went back to Patrick’s villa first, took a shower changed their clothes, and then drove to Constance’s house. Constance was in poor health and already drowsy, but she refused to go to sleep and waited for them in the living room Constance’s eyes lit up when she saw Patrick and Juliette come in together, and she was in a much better state.
“Where’s Stuart: Still busy? What is that boy busy with all day long?” Constance complained, but she also felt sorry for him “He can’t even enjoy Christmas.”
“He’s a key figure in the company now, Without him, many people would lose their jobs. He asked me to apologize to you and say that hell come back to see you as soon as he’s done, Patrick said, his tone relaxed
Persuaded by Patrick, Constance agreed to take her medicine and go back to her room to sleep.
Juliette took Louis to the guest room to sleep.
After they fell asleep, Patrick went back to the hospital to look after Stuart.
When dawn broke, Patrick returned to Constance’s house, looking like he had just woken up. Constance didn’t notice anything at all.
They stayed at Constance’s house until the third day after Christmas.
When they got home, they found a Bentley parked at their door.
Patrick frowned, and Louis said questioningly, “Huh?”
Patrick drove the car straight into his garage.
He ignored the car.
However, they had just gotten out of the car when they saw two people walking over, one of whom Juliette recognized, Harmony.
The other person was dressed in a dark suit, tall and slender, with outstanding looks that bore some resemblance to Lovell, whom she had met once before.

If she was right, this was the eldest son of the Clarke family, Logan, thirty–one years old, skilled in computer science.
He seemed to be a man of few words.
“Happy New Year,” Harmony immediately greeted them.
Patrick led Louis by the hand and took Juliette straight into the house, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to the two of them.
However, Logan and Harmony followed them in and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
“Patrick, I’m here to talk to you about something. Shall we go to the study, or shall we talk here?” Logan said.
Patrick went straight upstairs. “Study.”
Juliette, Harmony, and Louis were left downstairs.
The study door closed.
Patrick said, “Logan, if you have something to say, say it now. I’m busy.”
“Busy with what? Going to the hospital to see Stuart?” Logan asked.
The two sat down, facing each other with a table between them.
“Patrick, don’t look at me like that. For the Clarke family, it’s too easy to find out what’s going on around you.”
Patrick made coffee without responding.
Logan added, “Stuart almost died. I heard that if you hadn’t arrived in time, he would be dead. Patrick, have you ever thought that if you were the heir to the Clarke Group, would anyone dare to hurt Stuart? He is your cousin.”
Patrick paused and continued washing the cup.
“You saved him once the night before last, but you can’t be with him all the time. You can’t arrive in time every time his life is in danger.”
Patrick continued to silently make coffee until he placed the coffee in front of Logan.
Logan grabbed his wrist. “Patrick, we have been waiting for you to come home.”
“Do you come here today to persuade me?”
“Not entirely. I’m putting myself in your shoes. The enemies your current wife faces are the Vaughn family and the Montgomery family. As her husband, what are you going to fight them with?” Logan said, letting go of Patrick’s hand.
“Besides, doesn’t Louis need stronger protection? He is the heir of the Clarke family. Why should he live in fear outside?” he added.
Patrick said in a deep voice, “I will not marry the daughter of the Harrison family.”
Logan was stunned.
Patrick had an engagement with the youngest daughter of the Harrison family.
If Patrick were to go back and inherit Clarke Group, he should fulfill the marriage contract regardless.
“If you’re so insistent that I go back, Logan, would you be willing to marry the Harrison fondly’s defpeer ten mall
Logan didn’t know what to say.
