Chapter 171 That Person Appeared
William was at the hospital with Patricia when he received the message from Jayden.
"okay," he wrote in reply before a call popped up on his screen.
Glancing at it briefly, he promptly declined the call.
Patricia, who was nearby, noticed that the call was from Dapline.
Giving him a meaningful look, she said playfully, "You're quite the character. You're here with me, yet you send your buddy to see Ms. Hoven. Now, your phone's buzzing with a call from Ms. Bowen."
William glanced at her and retorted, "Then you can stay here yourself."
Patricia pleaded and grabbed his sleeve. "A man isn't worth much if he's not a little bad, and a woman won't love him if he isn't. The worse you act, the more I find you charming, and the more I love you."
William, growing impatient, asked, "You're fine, so why hang around the hospital?
Patricia scrolled through ber phone emotionlessly. "But I was waiting for a call that never came. Now that you're here, you'll have to help me when it finallydoes."
William responded in annoyance, "You're not bored, are you?"
"you don't know, people in love are always this bored. Whether injured or sick, they all hope that person knows so they can come and care for them," Patricia explained with a sigh.
Upon hearing her words, he recalled when Emelie had a miscarriage and stayed in the hospital alone for three days.
However, Emelie never brought that up with him.
As others had suggested, if she truly cared about him, how could she keep such
a big thing from him? At that time, there was no Daphne by his side, and things were fine between them.

-guy."
Having already spent a day and a night in the hospital, Patricia couldn't ignore the fact that he must know.
No call meant he didn't care, and she didn't need to stay in the hospital any longer.
"Forget it. I'll get myself discharged from the hospital and head out with you." Patricia held out a hand toward him and said, "just carry me out, won't you?"
With no work, Emelie relished her free time. In the afternoon, she explored Wimstour City with Alexis, buying gifts for her mom, sister, and niece.
Her favorite purchase was a pure gold necklace for her niece, which could bring luck.
After dining out, they returned to the hotel.
Jayden's secretary was called away for work, leaving Emelie feeling stuffed from dinner. She decided to take a stroll in the hotel garden.
Absorbed in her phone, she didn't notice as she wandered into a secluded spot where no one else was around.
However, with the bright lights and being at the hotel, Enelle wasn't worried. She was ready to turn back.
Then she heard a sharp click. It was the sound of a lighter flicking open. The metallic quality of it sent a shiver down her spine.
Emelie lifted her head to see a man standing under the moonlight.
As the flame licked the cigarette, it briefly illuminated the side of his face before fading back into darkness.

Then, Emelle turned and walked away.
Since he hadn't bothered to find her after all these times coming back, there was
no need to see him now.
