Chapter 113: Caught a Cold Because of You
Last night?
What happened last night?
Jane, alert, looked at Patrick, rubbed her temples, gradually regaining awareness.
She remembered; she had made plans with Nana to go to a bar for drinks last night. Unfortunately, they encountered that thug Ron, and she was drugged by accident.
Later, Patrick appeared suddenly and took her away. She recalled that it was around that time when she felt a burning sensation all over her body and lost consciousness.
Vaguely, she seemed to have engaged in some inappropriate activities with Patrick.
Nervously, Jane checked herself.
Fortunately, everything seemed normal.
Still a bit uneasy, Jane asked, “You didn’t do anything last night, did you?”
Seeing the woman in front of him, nervously checking herself, Patrick raised an eyebrow, “What, were you hoping I did something?”
“No way!” Jane glared at Patrick.
Relieved, Jane couldn’t help but feel fortunate that she had Patrick with her last night. He turned out to be a decent man.
Otherwise, things could have been very dangerous.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Just then, Patrick suddenly coughed.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Jane asked in concern.
Patrick cleared his throat, “Caught a cold.”
“A cold?” Jane’s tone carried a hint of worry, “How did you catch a cold out of the blue?”
As far as she knew, Patrick was always in excellent health. He was perfectly fine yesterday, so how did he suddenly catch a cold?
Patrick gave Jane a deep look, his tone carrying a meaningful tone, “All because of you.”
If it weren’t for this woman being drugged and clinging to him stubbornly, he wouldn’t have taken a cold shower and wouldn’t have caught a cold.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Because of me?” Jane was puzzled.
As smart as she was, she couldn’t figure out the connection between Patrick catching a cold and her.
During breakfast, Jane, habitually scrolling through the news on her phone, was suddenly drawn to a headline.
?Special Report: Last night, the police launched a night operation and apprehended a gang of thugs posing a threat to public safety.】
There were pictures of several individuals in the report, and the leader of the thugs who harassed Jane last night, Ron, was among them.
Jane put down her phone and looked at the man sitting across from her, elegantly having breakfast, “Ron got caught. Was it you?”
“And if it was?” Patrick paused with his chopsticks in hand, raising an eyebrow.
“Well done! Scum like him should have been caught long ago, so he wouldn’t harm more women,” Jane praised, nodding approvingly.
Patrick squinted his eyes, his tone heavy, “Others might be forgivable, but anyone who dares to bully a woman belonging to Patrick is asking for death.”
A woman belonging to Patrick…
Jane tugged at the corner of her mouth; she belonged to herself, to no one.
After finishing breakfast, the two headed to Pansy Group.
On the way, Jane heard Patrick coughing occasionally.
Even though Jane didn’t understand why Patrick claimed he caught a cold because of her, she took advantage of their break to buy a bottle of cold medicine from the pharmacy.
After all, Patrick had saved her last night.
CEO’s office.
Morton knocked on the door.
“Come in!” Patrick’s clear voice responded.
Morton entered, walked up to Patrick, and respectfully reported, “Mr. Pansy, we’ve identified the person who transferred money to Tom.”
“Who is it?” Patrick put down the documents in his hand and looked up.
