SWNOVELS Chapter 23: Bear The Consequences
Zac roared at Patricia again, breaking out into a slow jog.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the hospital was full of people, and Zac's voice attracted all of their attention.
In the hall of the first floor of the in-patient department, everyone turned their eyes to Patricia and Zac at the same time, trying to
guess what was going on.
Some of the people recognized Zac and whispered, "That's Zac, the president of the Reynolds Group.The woman in front of him
is his ex-wife..." "Aren't they already divorced?"
"Yes, they are.I don't understand why Mr.Reynolds is still chasing after his ex-wife."
"Did she steal something from him?"
"It's possible.I heard that she had an affair with a rich man right after the divorce."
"How disgusting.A woman like that deserves to be abandoned..."
"Exactly..."
Patricia finally arrived at the door of the in-patient department, but not before hearing the whispers of the people inside.
Even though the news articles about her had been deleted, the damage had already been done.
It could never be reversed, because these people would never forget the things that they thought they knew about her.
“Patricia, if you dare to step out of the hospital today, you will have to bear the consequences!"
Zac's cold words echoed behind Patricia again.
For a moment, Patricia froze, but then a bitter smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
She would bear the consequences? I What consequences? She had already lost the baby.
Wasn't he satisfied? What else did she have to lose for him to finally let her go? She was exhausted to the bone.
The last thing she wanted to do now was to deal with Zac.
All of a sudden, her resolve hardened.
Still holding her mother's hand tight, she strode right to the gate of the hospital.
Then, the two of them left together in a taxi.
As Zac watched the taxi pull away, his face distorted with anger.
She had escaped from him by just a few hundred meters! Didn't she have the slightest fear that he would take revenge on the
Sampson family and the Lowell family? Didn't she even care about her own mother? This woman was getting bolder and bolder
by the day! Zac was a cold and self-centered person.
At this moment, he didn't realize that, as the man who had divorced Patricia and made her lose her child, he had no right to
continue to control her. On the other side, after dropping her mother at the gate of the Lowell family's house, Patricia went back
to the Sampson family's house.
When she got out of the taxi, however, she saw the dreaded Bugatti Veyron waiting at the door.
Zac was sitting in the car, looking coldly at her direction.
It seemed that he had expected that she would drop Giselle off at the Lowell family's house first before coming here.
Patricia felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
This man still didn't want to let her go.
Would he be satisfied when he saw her place in the Sampson family at least? Would he be happy only when he saw her in pain?
Did he hate her that much? : Clenching her teeth, Patricia walked up to Zac and said coldly, "Since you want to see me suffer so
much, you can come in with me!"
After saying that, Patricia turned around and walked towards the gate of the Sampson family's house, not looking back to see if
he was following her.
Zac rolled his eyes.
When had he said that he wanted to see her suffer? Why was this woman so stubborn? Didn't she know that she had just lost
her baby and was very weak? Didn't she know that she need to have a good rest? He opened the door, got out of the car, and
grabbed her bag.
With the bag in hand, he slowly followed Patricia to the Sampson family's house, but put a considerable distance between them.
"Bitch, you still remembered to come back? I thought you died outside."
A sharp and mean female voice came from the living room. Without even looking at the person, Patricia knew who it was.
Except for Lyndsy, who would always want her to die? Without answering, Patricia braced herself to head straight to her room.
She was already very tired.
She just wanted to lie down and have a good rest.
She wasn't in the mood to do anything else.
But there were some people who would hurt you unprovoked even if you tried your best to avoid them.
Lyndsy was that kind of person.
Seeing that Patricia didn't say anything and ignored her as if she was invisible, Lyndsy clenched her fists in anger.
That night, she hadn't been able to vent her anger at Patricia.
And when she had gone to the Reynolds Group, she hadn't been able to find Zac, which had made her even more furious.
She had planned to settle accounts with Patricia after coming back home, but not only was Patricia nowhere to be seen, she
hadn't come home at all for the next three days.
Although three days wasn't a long time, it was enough for Lyndsy to attack Patricia in a lot of other ways.
For example, she had released the previous news article again so as to ruin Patricia's reputation.
However, she would never be satisfied until she could physically take out her anger on Patricia.
"You bitch! I'm talking to you.Why are you acting like you're above me? You are nothing but a woman abandoned by her
husband!"
The more Lyndsy spoke, the more excited she became.
In the end, she burst into laughter.
Patricia glanced at her, but continued to walk forward with no intention of responding.
"Bitch, stop!"
Seeing that Patricia still didn't answer her, Lyndsy lost her temper once and for all.
She picked up the glass ashtray on the table and threw it at Patricia.
The ashtray hit Patricia right on the head before falling to the floor and shattering into pieces.
Patricia staggered backward from the force and clutched her forehead, where there was a big wound.
Raising her eyes slowly, she took a look at Sullivan and Yolanda, who were sitting on the sofa and staring at her coldly without
saying a word.
Of course, this was nothing less than what she had expected.
Ignoring the blood that was seeping from her forehead and onto her palm, she sighed and continued to walk towards her room.
"Stop, you little bitch!"
This time, Sullivan was the one who cursed at Patricia, furiously jumping up from the sofa after seeing that she glanced at him
without saying anything.
He didn't care that her forehead was bleeding at all.
In his eyes, Patricia shouldn't have been born in the first place.
But since she had, she should have at least made contributions to the Sampson family.
But now, not only had Patricia not brought any benefits to the Sampson family, she had also brought them a bad name.
Although the negative articles about her couldn't destroy the Sampson family's company, they still had some impact.
Seeing Sullivan join in and scold Patricia, Yolanda smiled complacently and thought, ‘Bitch, in the end, you still can't defeat me!
You couldn't defeat me in the past, and now, your daughter can't defeat mine either."
Patricia's heart hardened as she glanced at her father.
It was like he couldn't see the bloody wound on her head at all.
All that mattered to him was his dear daughter Lyndsy's grievance.
Then what was Patricia to him? Wasn't she his daughter too? But Patricia had no strength left to even be disappointed.
Ignoring him, she continued to walk towards the stairs.
No matter what, she wanted to have a rest.
She was very weak and tired, ready to collapse at any moment.
The whole time, Zac stood outside the door and listened to all the noise coming from inside the house.
Even without looking at the scene, he could tell who was speaking.
Except for a pained scream just now, he hadn't heard Patricia's voice at all.
She didn't even open her mouth to rebuke them.
It seemed that this woman had a very low status in the Sampson family! "You little bitch!"
Sullivan chortled in anger, seeing that Patricia continued to ignore him.
He looked around and finally spotted a plate of fruit on the table.
