Chapter 115: This Is What I Should Do
"Let me help you with that," said Zac in a firm voice.
He then bent down, picked Patricia up, and carried her into the bathroom.
They had already reached the bathroom before she could register what had happened.
Patricia was able to manage by herself once in the bathroom.
‘‘I would've been mortified if Zac had to help me here as well!’’ Being in the bathroom alone with Zac made Patricia blush. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Seeing her flushed face, Zac couldn't resist looking down at her lovingly.
Patricia looked up at him and then towards the toilet awkwardly.
"You can put me down, Zac. I can do this part by myself."
Gently putting her down, Zac walked out of the bathroom and quietly closed the door.
He had a feeling that if he had remained, he would have been tempted to assist her.
But he knew this would embarrass Patricia.
Moments ago, her heart was racing wildly, and she felt flustered being in Zac’s arms.
But now, Patricia was able to breathe a sigh of relief, her nervousness dissipating with Zac's departure.
Because of her injury making it difficult to move, Patricia took longer than usual to finish using the toilet.
Now finished, she called out to Zac, who was waiting for her outside the bathroom door.
Zac instantly scooped her up into his arms and walked her over to her bed, where he gently laid her down.
"Thank you, Zac," Patricia whispered shyly, not having the courage to look him in the eye.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do! I've told you before that it's my job to take care of you,"
Zac said firmly as he looked at her pointedly.Patricia was taken aback by Zac's words.
Too embarrassed to look at Zac, she unconsciously turned her face away, not knowing how to respond to such a statement.
Zac couldn't help but frown when he saw her like this.
Pouting, he thought, ‘Have I done something wrong? Does Patricia not want to hear what I have to say?’ Zac had told her what was in his mind sincerely, but Patricia's lack of response had hurt his pride.
Perhaps it was the seriousness of Zac's gaze, or maybe it was something else entirely, but Patricia couldn't help but look at Zac with confusion in her eyes.
Softly, she said, "You don't have to..."
But before Patricia could finish speaking, Dora appeared at the door.
Smiling sweetly, Dora asked, "Miss Patricia, how do you feel?"
At that moment, Dora noticed both Patricia and Zac looking at her in surprise.
Confused, Dora blinked her lovely eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you both staring at me like that?"
Unconsciously, Dora peered down at her attire to ensure she was appropriately dressed.
Seeing nothing wrong to warrant such stares, she looked at them with puzzled eyes.
Seeing Dora flustered made both Patricia and Zac chuckle as they sent a friendly smile her way.
Still in the dark about what had just happened, Dora felt relieved nonetheless seeing the harmonious relationship between these two people as they smiled brightly at her.
Without further ado, Dora entered the room carrying a tray containing a variety of medicines.
"Miss Patricia Su, I am now going to apply the medicine for you.However, today's medication will make you feel some pain in the affected area, so please try to bear with it."
Dora looked at Patricia with caring eyes before she began to prepare the medicine.
Zac turned his back to Patricia so as not to make her feel embarrassed.
Looking at the time, he couldn't help yawning.
Just as he was finally dozing off, he had been awakened by the sound of Patricia scream, so now he was wide awake.Since it was almost breakfast time, Zac spoke softly to Patricia and said, "I'm going to get breakfast while Dora applies the medicine for you."
After saying this, he strode out of the room without waiting for Patricia's reply.
Dora had the medicine ready by the time Zac was out the door.
She then ordered Patricia to lie quietly on the bed and to keep still.
Lying face down on the bed obediently, Patricia waited for Dora to apply medicine to her back.
Patricia couldn't help but scream and groan inwardly as the sting of this new medicine became too unbearable to tolerate.
Dora frowned when she heard Patricia scream.
In a concerned voice, she said, "Miss Patricia Su, we're almost finished.Please bear with the pain for a little longer."
Dora then quickly finished applying the medicine to her back.
After helping Patricia put on her clothes, Dora placed all the medicine back onto the tray.
"Miss Patricia, Mr.Reynolds is really very kind to you," said Dora.
Hearing this, Patricia was stunned and looked at Dora in a daze.
Then, with a flush on her face, she said in a low voice, "Dora, stop talking nonsense.That's absurd.”
"Why? I may not understand the reason behind your divorce from Mr.Reynolds, but I can see clearly that he cares a lot about you,"
Dora said happily, an innocent grin on her face.
A faint smile touched Patricia's lips as she heard Dora's words.
She, too, could see that Zac cherished her and was treating her well.
But that wouldn't change anything.
Patricia still felt it was impossible for her and Zac to be spouses again, so she didn't want to dwell too much on that thought.
Dora was baffled by the somber look on Patricia's face.
She couldn't understand why Patricia remained so indifferent to Zac's love.
Thinking these thoughts made Dora pout.
Almost every time, Dora had witnessed Patricia rejecting Zac's love, as if keeping him at arm's length.
But every time Patricia was indifferent to Zac, Dora couldn't help worrying about these two people.
She wanted nothing more than to help them achieve happiness together, so she felt it was a pity that she was often at her wit's end.
Patricia smiled gently at Dora.
She understood what Dora meant, but she had already made up her mind.
Pertaining to her relationship with Zac she would just let it be and not think too deeply about it.
A moment later, Zac returned with breakfast.
However, as soon as he entered the room, he saw the unhappy look on Patricia's face.
Being unable to understand what she was thinking, he became disconcerted.
‘What's wrong with this woman? Before I left, she was smiling happily.
What has happened in my absence to make her so sad?' wondered Zac.
Standing in front of Patricia in a daze, Zac stared at her with concern.
Averting her gaze, Patricia nervously bit her lower lip as her face flushed with embarrassment.
After clearing her throat, she said, "Zac..."
But before Patricia could finish her sentence, Zac interrupted her.
In a commanding tone, he said, "Have your breakfast first. We'll discuss everything else later! "
Zac then handed the breakfast over to Patricia.She realized that it was all her favorite food.
Zac made the decision to leave on his own before Patricia drove him away from her side.He didn't want to give her that chance.
