Hearing the sound of the door closing, Patrick straightened his body to take a look, then walked to the bathroom to put some hot water on the towel and wrung it dry.
Patrick returned to the bedside and folded the towel, then wiped Alice's face.
Alice laid on the bed and moaned. She turned her body to face Patrick, and slept.
Patrick's hand that was holding the towel froze in midair, he stared at her, his voice was low, "Who are you waiting for?"
Alice lay there for a long time without uttering a single word.
Patrick waited for a long time, but before he could find an answer, he used a towel to wipe her face. Suddenly, he noticed Alice's pink lips move, and she muttered a name, "William."
Nothing else.
Patrick bent over and stood beside her bed. His pants were drenched greatly, and upon hearing what she said, he used his fingers to wring the towel.
On the other side, in the ward.
William sat on the sickbed, holding a mirror to look at his ears. The mirror reflected half of his handsome and extraordinary face, as well as the deep scars on his earlobes.
"Young Master, eat something."
Daniel came in with steaming hot delicious food.
"No." William said coldly, as he only appreciated his ears.
"Young Master, Miss Mona just returned home and personally made this."
"Then I won't eat any more! Who knows if she has poisoned it or not!"
Daniel was speechless.
Mona did have the temper of a noble lady, but she loved young master so much, poisoning him was impossible.
William threw the mirror away, and leaned against the headboard of the bed. His forehead was wrapped in gauze, he said unhappily, "Why time flies so slowly!? So annoying!"
"Uh, young master should rest early, so the time will pass quickly."
Daniel said respectfully.
"Is that so?"
William looked at him coldly, then decisively laid down on the bed and tucked himself in. He closed his eyes and slept.
After leaving Alice, his sleep quality had never been good.
Seeing that, Daniel quietly retreated. Just as he was about to turn off the light, William suddenly sat up on the bed, surprising Daniel.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Daniel asked curiously.
"My eyelids twitched." William said with a solemn face.
"So?"
"Daniel."
"Please instruct me, young master."
"Send someone to keep an eye on Alice, she's not by my side, I'm not at ease." William sat on the bed, his voice was cold. After he finished speaking, he lay down and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, before closing his eyes.
Even the twitching of the eyelids could be related to Miss Alice?
"Understood, Young Master." Daniel stepped forward softly and tucked William in.
Seeing William like this, Daniel couldn't help but let out a sigh.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it this way.
Now, even though he had sworn an oath, he started to regret. Didn't he want to rebel against Cullen Family?
He didn't know what young master was thinking, but he could do whatever he wanted. He didn't care.
All the women who fell in love with him were tired, tMiss Alice was tired, and so was Miss Mona.
Daniel covered William with the blanket and then silently went out.
At daybreak, Alice walked out while holding her drunk head. Her head was aching and she was feeling dizzy.
As expected, the hangover was painful.
Alice forced herself to open her eyes, and the moment she walked to the living room, she saw Beverly sitting on the sofa. She was dressed gracefully, and her gentle face revealed a stern expression, as a pair of eyes looked at her angrily.
Alice's heart skipped a beat, her gaze landed on the cushion in the living room. She slowly walked over and lowered her head towards Beverly, "Mother."
"Kneel."
Beverly said with a stern face.
Alice did not dare to disobey and bent her legs, kneeling on the cushion.
"Alice, after you gave birth to the twins, you vitality suffered a huge blow. You even went to drink?" Beverly said with both heartache and anger.
Alice lowered her head, "I'm sorry, Mother."
"It's no use apologizing. Kneel here and reflect on it for an hour!" Beverly thought about it and changed her mind. "Kneel for half an hour and think about it."
Alice knelt there and revealed a slight smile on her face.
Beverly could not bear to look at her, so she stood up and prepared to leave, but when she walked to her side, she remembered something, "Oh yeah, Alice, mother will tell you one more time, don't let Patrick down. He is a man that is worth entrusting, Mother will not misjudge him."
Patrick.
When Alice thought about last night, some of her memories were already shattered. She vaguely remembered that she and Anna was drinking together, and Patrick picked her up.
"Where is he?"
She turned her head to look at Beverly's worried eyes and laughed: "I'm absent -minded, what did mother say?"
"Are you dressing up to go out?"
Beverly asked.
"Yes, a colleague has been hospitalized. I'll go take a look." Alice said, "Mother, I will be leaving first."
"I don't think you're in a good mood. Let the driver drive you there. Even if you don't like it, you still have to be escorted by the driver. " Beverly knew that Alice did not like people following her, she liked freedom.
Alice nodded and left.
Sitting on the car, her phone constantly vibrated. It was all William's text message.
Why aren't you here yet? Are you not going to come? Then I'll send someone to your house!
"Why didn't you pick up my phone call?"
"Come over immediately. I can't eat well, nor sleep well, and I'm going to starve to death! Make something for me to eat!
Forget it. As long as you are willing to come, I can cook Egg-Fried Rice for you!
"Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice."
Alice did not answer, she saw that the screen suddenly showed the word 'Patrick', she was startled for a second, then picked up the phone call. She heard Patrick's sleepy voice in her ears, "Alice."
Like someone whispering her name beside her.
"Patrick, why did you call at this time?" Alice looked at the time on her watch and asked doubtfully, "It's only 2 in the morning in Italy right?"
At this time, he should be in deep sleep.
It was always the same every time. In order to take care of her work and rest, he would always call her at the right time, while he would not have a good sleep.
"I can't fall asleep.¹' Patrick said in a low voice.
A small sound came out from Alice's ears. Patrick seemed to roll over on the bed, and then he said softly, "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little panicked."
"What?"
Alice sat on the carriage and was startled.
"I dreamt that I lost you again." Patrick said in a low voice, his gentle voice had a hint of self
- deprecating bitterness, "Do you know, my palm is covered with cold sweat."
"Patrick!"
Alice held her phone, not knowing what to say.
They were just friends, but she couldn't say it because his voice sounded so sad.
