Chapter 121
“Oh!” The venue suddenly erupted in an uproar.
But the next moment, silence fell. Everyone watched in shock, their jaws agape.
They saw Juliette carry Patrick in her arms.
Everyone was speechless. They couldn’t believe that the beautiful Juliette actually carried Patrick in her arms.
She carried Patrick out of the press conference venue and straight into his car.
Everyone found it a pity that they couldn’t see anything after the car door closed.
[No praise can do justice to Juliette.]
[Juliette is so strong. She just carried Patrick in her arms without any editing or special effects.]
[What editing and special effects? It seems the young actors today are being mocked.]
[Juliette is truly awesome. On stage, she could accuse Bianca of plagiarism, and off stage, she could carry Patrick effortlessly.]
[Wait, weren’t we just watching current affairs news? How did we suddenly switch to entertainment gossip so seamlessly?]
The netizens were having a blast.
The footage of Juliette carrying Patrick away had been edited into various short videos and posted online. The number of viewers skyrocketed.
However, the atmosphere in Juliette’s car was somber.
The car was equipped with IV equipment.
Patrick pulled the IV drip out when it was halfway through just now.
After Juliette placed him on the small bed, someone immediately stepped forward to give him an IV drip again.
Juliette felt that her palms were sticky and warm. She raised her hands and saw that her palms were covered in blood.
There was no doubt that it was fresh blood flowing from Patrick’s body. Maybe he was already bleeding when he got out of the car, or maybe the bleeding started in the middle of the press conference, but he held on until now.
Beau followed Juliette into the car and saw Patrick’s current state and Juliette’s bloody hands.
He exclaimed, “Patrick is badly hurt.”
“At that speed, anyone in the car would be injured. It’s fortunate that he’s still alive,” Juliette said.
The car sped towards the hospital.
Patrick remained unconscious. When he arrived at the hospital, he was directly put on a stretcher and taken back to the ward. The surgeon rushed over immediately.
The wound that was sutured before had ruptured, resulting in significant blood loss. They needed to suture the wound and

prepare for a blood transfusion immediately,
Hence, Patrick was readmitted to the ICU shortly after being discharged.
Beau and Juliette could only wait in the hallway outside.
Beau blamed himself, “Had I known it was so serious, I wouldn’t have called him. The company could be rebuilt, but if he…”
Beau didn’t dare to continue, afraid that his words would come true.
Juliette said firmly, “He has always been level–headed. He will be fine. He will recover and leave the ICU. We just need to give him some time.”
Beau looked at Juliette blankly, and after a long while he said, “Juliette, you’re so calm. Patrick is undergoing rescue inside, and his fate is uncertain, yet you could say such firm words so calmly. I really admire your mental strength.”
This was what Beau truly thought at the moment. Juliette was really calm.
He wasn’t as calm as Juliette, despite being a man. He was so worried that he couldn’t sit still at all. He wished he could run wildly.
“Am I calm?” Juliette asked indifferently.
Only then did Beau notice that she was holding a thermos.
He had seen this thermos in Patrick’s car. It was probably Patrick’s thermos, which she was using temporarily.
“You can’t unscrew it? Let me help you.” Beau reached for the thermos in her hand and said, “You’re really calm. If I didn’t know the real situation, I would definitely think Patrick just had a cold. What the crap?”
As Beau spoke, he threw the thermos out.
He thought, ‘Damn, the lid of the thermos wasn’t screwed tight at all, and it was filled with boiling water.
He looked at Juliette’s hands again and found that her fingers were already red from the burn, but she didn’t seem to feel it
at all.
Juliette frowned. “Why did you throw the thermos out? I just filled it with hot water, and was waiting for Patrick to come out and drink it.”
Beau was lost for words. It turned out that Juliette wasn’t as calm as he’d thought. She was actually nervous.
She didn’t even realize her hands had been scalded by the boiling water.
It turned out that Juliette was just as worried about Patrick’s life as he was. No, she was probably even more worried.
Beau pursed his lips, took out a wet wipe from his pocket, and handed it to Juliette. “You’ve scalded your hands. The hot water had spilled onto your hands. Place this over your burn first, I’ll ask the doctor for a cold compress.”
Beau picked up the thermos, put the lid back on, and wiped the surface dry. Then he put it on the bench and went to ask the doctor for a cold compress.
His footsteps completely disappeared before Juliette’s eyes moved from the thermos to her own hands. Her index fingers
were indeed scalded red.
It was a burning pain, but she didn’t feel it just now. She merely felt uncomfortable. She couldn’t tell what exactly was wrong.

Now she knew. She scalded her hands.

She thought, ‘Wait, why didn’t I notice I was holding something so hot? And why could I bring Patrick boiling water? Haven’t I always been afraid of anything hot? At that critical moment, why could I think of bringing Patrick hot water and waiting for him to come out and drink it?‘
Juliette felt strange about her own behavior.
She looked in the direction of the ICU, where Patrick was still being rescued.
Juliette pursed her lips tightly. She believed Patrick would be able to leave the ICU safely.
In the same hospital in another ward, the family of three who were involved in the car accident were placed in the same ward.
After they returned to the hospital, the doctor re–examined them. Their wounds had not opened up, so the next step was medication and rest.
It was late at night, and the visiting relatives had all left.
The hospital was quiet.
The family of three talked, dispelling the fear they had experienced earlier that evening.
At this moment, there was a knock on the ward door.
The nurse pushed the door open and said, “Mr. Thompson, some well–wishers came to see you.”
Finn then entered with flowers and fruit.
Landon introduced, “This is Mr. Finn Montgomery, the CEO of Montgomery Group. He saw your story on the news, knew you’d been through a lot, and insisted on making time to visit you.”
Easton Thompson thought, ‘Montgomery Group?‘
His eyes lit up. It was a huge company. He didn’t expect the boss of a huge corporation to be so kind and come to visit them in person.
Both Easton and his wife were ecstatic.
“Thank you, Mr. Montgomery. We are so honored,” Easton said excitedly.
