Chapter 6
Patrick’s face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly took David to the hospital.
The entire Harper family was also in chaos.
After a night of rescue efforts, there was finally no longer any concern for their lives.
Just fell into a coma, not knowing when I would wake up.
Patrick stood at the door of the ward, irritably lighting a cigarette.
The doctor on the side hurriedly stepped forward to stop.
Patrick, however, directly grabbed the other person’s collar.
“You were the man who dated Gracie!”
“How dare you show your face in front of me? Where is Gracie? Has she taken the child and hidden with you? Make her come out and see me immediately!”
Upon hearing these words, even the doctor, who had always maintained excellent composure, couldn’t help but retaliate.
He looked at Patrick with red eyes.
“You jerk, do you think you’re so great just because you have a few measly bucks?”
“Do you know, that day I accompanied Ms. Scott to the funeral home to collect her mother’s ashes! She, a lonely and helpless woman, suddenly lost both her child and mother in one day.”
“And you, as a husband, not only did not accompany her, but also frolicked with your mistress. Are you even a human being?”
The nearby nurse colleagues all came to intervene.
Both implicitly and explicitly, everything was blaming Patrick.
Faced with these questioning voices, Patrick couldn’t say a word.
Gracie’s mind was filled with that day, her face calm to the point of numbness.
Over the years, he had already become accustomed to ignoring Gracie’s emotions.
How could one perceive the intense sorrow hidden beneath that seemingly calm countenance?
Patrick’s heart hurt fiercely for a moment.

But he still gritted his teeth and shook his head.
“You all were bought by Gracie, I won’t believe your nonsense.”
Gracie cared so much about her mother, so how could she not have any reaction if her mother passed away? And that child, she was born at the cost of her life, how could she be so calm.
Saying this on the surface, but deep down, a storm was brewing.
Patrick wanted to prove that he was right.
He drove back home like a madman.
Looking at the empty house, he suddenly realized.
The day they argued and fought, Gracie came back to pack her belongings.
She was determined to leave, that’s for sure.
“Gracie!”
“Gracie!”
The continuous shouts went unanswered.
Patrick lost his footing for a moment and fell to the ground.
He also, therefore, saw the wedding ring that had rolled under the table.
This wedding ring was custom–made by Patrick himself shortly after their wedding.
Gracie was very precious.
For the past ten years, the two of them have been constantly arguing.
Gracie was never willing to take off this wedding ring.
For the two of them, this ring was not just a wedding ring.
It was still the witness of their beautiful relationship.
It was the only hope and memory that remained.
However, now the ring has been thrown into a neglected corner.
Gracie was also nowhere to be found.
Patrick’s heart sank gradually, sinking all the way to the bottom.

He looked around at the familiar surroundings, but everything felt so unfamiliar.
Sadness and fear.
They came from all directions.
There was no sign of David waking up.
All the small and big matters in the company could only be handled by Patrick.
Patrick’s heart was completely on Gracie.
In the past, David took care of the company’s affairs.
Gracie took care of things at home.
Patrick didn’t have to worry about anything, he spent his days carefree and indulging in pleasure.
However, overnight, the two most important people in his life, the pillars of his existence, all left
and went away.
Patrick couldn’t support such a large company.
Unable to support it any longer, a once dilapidated home.
Faced with no other choice, Patrick chose to escape.
He used to get himself drunk every day.
Holding a photo of Gracie, I cried bitterly.
That night, Patrick was drinking heavily at home again.
The door of the room was pushed open.
A graceful figure walked in and gently embraced Patrick.
Smelling the familiar fragrance, Patrick’s long–silent heart started to beat wildly.
He held the person of his future tightly in his arms, constantly expressing his longing and love.
“Gracie, you finally came back, you don’t know how much I missed you during this time.”
“Grandfather was very ill, the company’s matters overwhelmed me, and when I got home, I couldn’t see your figure. I really didn’t know what to do.”

moro I will stay
by your side and we can have a cute child together. Let’s live a happy life as a family of three,”
Patrick, with his drunken eyes, and the person who came, spent a passionate night together.
Until the morning sun shone on the bed.
He realized that the person from last night was Jessica.
Jessica weakly leaned against Patrick’s chest.
Coquettishly, she said, “Patrick, I heard everything you said last night.”
“Gracie, that woman doesn’t deserve your love. How about letting me be the one to accompany you in the future? I won’t be as useless as she is, and I will definitely give you a healthy and adorable
child.”
This time, Patrick did not indulge in Jessica’s tenderness.
He kicked Jessica off the bed with one foot.
With a cold face, he stood up and got dressed.
“Jessica, I was just playing with you.”
“The person I loved, from beginning to end, was only Gracie. Being with you was also to spite her.”
“From now on, I will change and start anew. If you dare to appear and ruin our relationship again, I will definitely not let you off the hook!”
He threw a check in Jessica’s face.
Afterwards, he put on his coat and got up to leave.
Just last night, Patrick had already figured it out.
In this world, he could lose everything, but he couldn’t lose Gracie.
No matter what, he was determined to find Gracie back.
